Abstract |
|
Extraction of water from the natural air around us to help the betterment of human life. Pumping natural air into the earth and using the lower temperature along with radiative cooling to condense the dew drops. One-half of the device is buried inside the earth for around 6 feet or more. The open end of the device which is exposed to the atmosphere consists of a turbine and fan setup which is used to pump humid air into the device continuously. Heat from the air is transferred to the soil around the duct. Once the air temperature falls below its condensation temperature it condenses as water droplet and is stored in the chamber below. Since the temperature of the chamber below is always less than the temperature of the atmospheric air, because of use of superhydrophobic material, we expect nominal water condensation even when the turbine is not actuated by the wind. |
