When one hand the world is hit with drought, the researchers are, on the other, up with their gloves in finding a better solution to it. A good news, especially for the desert-dwellers. An Australian inventor has designed a device that is capable of harvesting unlimited water from ‘the air’.
Not just that! The device also serves the nature by the power it is driven with - wind. Thought its critics are considering it to be too good to be true, Dr Max Whisson — a retired medical specialist turned inventor - confidently claims to have designed this highly efficient wind turbine capable of both running a refrigeration system as well as cool air, condensing moisture from it!
Such device if really exists will surely in a near future wipe drought from the world. To add to, we all can just use water from the air without worrying of or disrupting the environment, as there a huge amount of water is available in the atmosphere, which is replaced every few hours.
Dr Whisson said,
In the newly-invented system, moisture-laden air enters and is cooled by a drop in pressure that happens behind the blades of the wind turbine.The wind carries in the water and [provides] the power required to separate that water from the wind.
According to Dr. Whisson,
the system would even harvest significant amounts of water in areas with low humidity. A four-metre square device could extract an average 7,500 litres of water a day.
