State-of-the-art AWG for home use. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1] or pressurizing the air.
NovaSpark’s mobile hydrogen generator pulls water vapor from the air like a dehumidifier and transforms it into hydrogen using electrolysis, the process of passing an electric current through ...
The biggest news stories this morning: NASA can now recycle 98 percent of astronaut pee on the ISS into drinkable water, YouTube is reportedly testing online games for mobile and desktop, Apple ...
Active collectors: these collect water in the same way as a dehumidifier; although the designs work well, they require an energy source, making them uneconomical except in special circumstances. New designs seek to minimise the energy requirements of active condensers or make use of sustainable and renewable energy resources.
Over the next few years, chlorine disinfection using chloride of lime were rapidly installed in drinking water systems around the world. [48] The technique of purification of drinking water by use of compressed liquefied chlorine gas was developed by a British officer in the Indian Medical Service, Vincent B. Nesfield, in 1903. According to his ...
Imagine a world where clean drinking water is readily available even in the most remote areas. This vision is becoming a reality thanks to innovative research from scientists in Canada.
Instead of using the static pressure of a water supply line to force the water through the filter, pressure is provided by a hand-operated pump. These devices can generate drinkable water from seawater. The Portable Aqua Unit for Lifesaving (short PAUL) is a portable ultrafiltration-based membrane water filter for humanitarian aid. It allows ...
A typical "portable" dehumidifier can be moved about on built-in casters. A dehumidifier is an air conditioning device which reduces and maintains the level of humidity in the air. [1] This is done usually for health or thermal comfort reasons or to eliminate musty odor and to prevent the growth of mildew by extracting water from the air. It ...
