- EcoloBlue's new 400,000 Liter/Day Atmospheric Water Generator Station. We present the 3D design concept video of the project. Not only can EcoloBlue's atmospheric water generators be used individually for smaller water needs, these water stations are intended for areas where the need for water is greater. Please contact us if you wish to discuss a possible project.
This is just showing an example of how the machines can be bundled together to create more water than a single machine. Focusing on the palm trees, fountains, third party energy sources, etc are not the focus of the EcoloBlue Technology. They are all secondary and imaginative just to get the point across.
That's great. I'm sure many cartoon people in the cartoon desert will be thankful for your cartoon water generating station.
Best comment ever. Thankyou.
Israel has portable air water makers now for their military !
Hahha, have many people in cartoon?
Ever heard about Moses west atmospheric water generator?
It's a dehumidifier with water filters.
Think what would happen if every household in water shortage area had a small efficient unit like this. The key word here is efficiency. Will we be wasting more energy than the extra water supply is worth? Every solution seems to come with another problem in our heat generating civilization.
Ronald Buss
Stations designed like this can produce both electric and water resources.
The question becomes what's the balance and do we benefit across the board with interest?
I believe that's a resounding YES!
Ive Waiting to See This Station for a Very long Time! This IS THE Answer World Wide!! >Build it >Build it> Build it !🌎
But couldn't the power also just be used for desalination? Then we use ocean water and that's it.
they need at least 25% humidity
and they show a desert that has less than 5% to 0%
IT IS MISLEADING
this will work best in areas with lot of humidity
but that areas have lots of lakes river, or else you do not have the humidity
so instead of doing this bullshit you just need filters to filter the water that is tere to grasp
in the places that this is the only way to get water THERE IS NOT THAT MUCH WATER TO BEGIN WITH
if you take the water of the air surround you then you need to move the air to get the new air that has humidity
so you need not only humidity but also wind
or else this big scales IS BULLSHIT
to get the 400k liters how many tones of air they need to bump in to extract this water??
so divide that in 24 hours at tell us what the wind speed must be to achieve this production ?
Systems like this would go along way to help re-green some of the deserts on the planet 🌎
but this company is out of business now.
@@dip.2271 Oh no. Why is that?
Unfortunately it wouldn't. This system isn't grounded in reality.
This brings joy to my heart. 10,000 times better than watching American News.
400000 L/day. Water's heat of vaporization is 2.3 MJ/L. That's 900000 MJ/day, or 10 MW continuous. You claim 5 MW wind and 5 MW solar, So your system operates at 100% efficiency, no energy lost while compressing refrigerants, cooling hot air, venting cooled air, running fans, pumps or anything else, and your rooftop solar panels get ideal sunlight 24/7 and the wind is always a stiff but manageable breeze.
...You didn't actually do a feasibility study did you?
@Tributary House Ltd. a solar still spread over one hectre land will purify more water,more importantly without the need for solar panels or windmills,only space and initial construction work is required
Total scam paid for by taxpayers. FEASABILITY STUDY? Money goes for coke and whores. Price triples, breaks in two months and taxes double. ENJOY!
It's a trap to hook an investor!
😂😂😂 I was almost about to write the same thing, But you already did that.
Did you also factor in how little the amount of moisture is in the desert air? This system would produce a fraction of the amount in the desert vs somewhere like Florida thay has very humid air. The problem is places like Florida(or any high humidity places) don't need water unlike a desert. This system fails in soooo many ways, especially the design thay this render shows. Solar panels facing opposite directions? Fail. Wind turbines thay close to each other? Fail. Condensing units so close to each other? Fail.
There is a gentleman doing this right now and proving his machine works ,he shows it in action. I haven't investigated this myself but there are live videos of this machine creating vast amounts of water.
He isn't proving anything with his Machine. His machine is just a large dehumidifier thats hooked up to a dehumidifier then passes through a filter. Nothing revolutionary. He has only used it in places like Texas and Costa Rica. Those places have very humid climate. Places that actually need water are in deserts and deserts have no moisture in the air. Thay means this machine wouldn't work in a desert environment where it's needed the most.
This is my dream home in the middle of desert, no need to pay for electric and water bill, only to pay for internet bill
Very soon open-source internet is going to be coming, you won't need to pay for that either
One of the better computer generated voices I've heard but still robotic.
If these were installed globally and on a large scale, this could potentially affect climate change. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas. It's also part of a feedback loop. Hotter air holds more water. I wonder how many of these units it would take to take enough water out of the air to make the climate cooler?
These could be used to refill aquifers.
Please add that water is a byproduct of combustion from cars, planes, stoves, gas turbines. New water that hardly will become oxygen and hydrogen again
No way it would ever effect the climate. You couldn't build enough of them and they use a ton of electricity.
not sure about cooling, but sure about making air dryer, with maybe less rain in some areas also.
but dryer mean also less clouds and then less sun light reflection ?
No , vapor saturation make less evaporating from oceans
If air bécanes dryer the place is liberated and evaporation from ocean increase..
God bless the people who invented this beauty. This will help our world a lot
It's sadly not possible.
Luke Skywalker and his adopted father were Water Farmers and used evaporators to condense and sell water on the desert planet Tatooine.
An idea "borrowed" freely by George Lucas from Frank Herbert's Dune (not the only thing he borrowed).
@Patrick Gardner it's not a concept that was created by dune. Dehumidifiers and air conditioners have been condensing water since the late 1800s.
I literally discovered this evaporative technique about two weeks ago for an off grid home while trying to figure out how to cool the home. Two evaporators in a humid climate will produce enough drinking water for two people every day. and because its sucked out of the air its effectively distilled water which also has massive health benefits, like I dunno, prevents cancer as it is negatively charged! With so much sun in desserts it could literally transform deserts in green areas with the right substrate! LOL
I think there is an error in the video: "It can produce 400,000 Liters in 1 L bottles but 800,000 Liters in 1/2 Liters bottles"?
Flint Michigan will be calling!
So you're making the desert air even dryer, and that will save the environment. Great :)
I think the one thing that would truly benefit this company is knowing the science of structured water. But all in all good video.
Super Atmospheric Water Genrator Stationin World nice
+RAJESH NAMA Just imagine a free energy source to run the A.W.G. EoloBlue. The only one that looks promising is the E-Cat from Andrea Rossi. This L.E.N.R. or Cold Fusion would generate free energy if used correctly. I noticed he just received another round of funding. It was a British Investment firm that is publicly traded who invested 22 million USD in the company called Industrial Heat. Industrial Heat is owned by Rossi. So far things sound good but lets see a working model powering EcoloBlue.
A future technology as a energy!
"This is the first atmospheric water station in the world", computer voice says! No, that is a CGI cartoon of your unproven Atmospheric water station producing theoretical amounts of CGI cartoon water in a simmulated desert.
Get real at your own risk before trying to convince people with cartoons. For everyone else, do what they do if you can afford it...
Go hook a wal mart home dehumidifier to a solar panel & AC converter, collect the water that drips off and call yourself another Edison, Tesla or Jesus... be sure to hype yourself up in the process!! Just don't plan to use it in low humidity areas where you'd actually need it or you'll be reduced to just having to show your friends cartoons of your miracle geyser! Lol there is a much more energy saving way to do this... dehumidification of Air with no electricity at all, it is called an Einstein Fridge process, working as a dehumidifier with a passive solar heat sink providing the very little heat required to run the process around the clock. You will find a similar type of fridge in an RV propane fired fridge, just modify it and test how well it would work in a desert with low humidity. Probably not worth the effort! Lol
Yes, it is a computer generated video. That is obvious to anyone watching it. The statement refers to no one designing anything similar to this, at least not at the time we did. We have proven and built industrial machines, that are in use globally. All this water station is, is many of these proven units plumbed together to produce a larger about of water. So using our proven to work machines in larger combination of each other is not a concept hard to understand. We always state that the machine needs 30% or higher humidity to produce a minimum amount of water. So we would not recommend it to any inland desert areas with humidity below that number. But the are many desert nations that are coastal that have great humidity. We are in Saudi Arabia and the UAE for example.
VId says 25% humidity... How many stations, of any size do you have currently in use TODAY? thx
NASA is CGi too!
We have over 15,000 home and office units worldwide, on 6 continents, from the last 10 years of sales. The industrial sized units, much fewer of course due to the cost, and individual projects in many different industries. Here is a video of our manufacturing facility taken by our Distributor in Reunion and Mauritius: ua-cam.com/video/29Xa45kGIXc/v-deo.html
Amen, and thank you for your Check of 9 trillion African dollars($4 usd ) , I will get back with you as soon as my Zulu Princes cashes it.
a nice system, i judge the end cost will be about the same as going to the market and buying bottled water
air from water is a terrific technology but it needs to solve the plastic bottle problem also before that part of it goes forward. Good luck in finding the financing.
Donna Stein That's the idea, that our machines create water, and people can be use reusable containers (stainless steel, glass, etc) to fill with water. Plastic doesn't need to be used. Even in our A.C.E. system that uses a bottling system, biodegradable bottles can be used.
+Donna Stein I wonder if this is a publicly traded company?
+EcoloBlue Dear Donna Stein, This sounds like a great company. I enjoyed the video on the large scale facility. Has anyone build such a system? For my home use how many KWH is needed to generate AWG for 1 gallon at 50% humidity? One of your reps said it cost 18 cents a gallon for EcoloBlue AWG. I think I am paying around 15 cents a KWH.
+Perpetual Overunity EcoloBlue is not publicly traded. And here is some general information on the power cost. It may not be exact, but it's a good guideline. www.ecoloblueblog.com/2015/05/13/the-reality-behind-the-power-cost-of-an-ecoloblue-homeoffice-unit/
I like the idea of using 21st century thinking to solve our water and energy problems. My quest is to find a free energy generator that could power EcoloBlue. This would provide free water and a free power source. Look how low electrical energy from the Sun using PV is being generated. The record low was sold to a major utility for as little as 2 cents per KWH. USA is at 3 cents per KWH.
This is something that could contribute a solution in a lot of coastal regions of the Middle East. I would like to speak with someone at EcoloBlue about this.
+Jamal Alkhaibari Thank you very much. Your contact information has been forward to the appropriate people.
Hi Ecoblue. I'm a big fan of this idea. Can you please tell me approximately how much it would cost to build this entire plant in Australia, including the solar and wind power generators to run it ?
I've been sharing this video a lot, trying to get the Australian government to build at least one to start with in drought stricken areas. To be able to put a price along with it would be great.
can tell me are you have any information about the cost of this project please
Unfortunately I've never got a reply from them.
They gave the email to a Nigerian further up the comment stream
They went out of business lol @@tathakadabuda
It is really amazing
Please spread this technology
And the break even point is year 3798....end of july....
Lol, Didn't seem particularly expensive to me :)
It's just a bunch of dehumidifiers (water condensation) leading water to an ozone maker (plasma/electric ark will generate O3).
Sure you'll also need the PV panels and wind turbines to keep 'em running in an "ecofriendly" way, which makes it a little costly.
5MW for 400K litres of water? I would hardly call that "economical".
Has any city or state applied this marvelous water generating system today? I would like to witness if this system really works in real life!
Government entity, not sure. But we have around 15,000 units in homes and office worldwide. We also have home and industrial units in South Africa, Haiti, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Philippines, and many other countries.
Great to hear that and thanks for the reply
EcoloBlue Cape Town South Africa is currently having major water crisis. Can't your system bring them some relief since it's a coastal city?
Peet van der Merwe unfortunately no
Israel has portable air water makers now for their military !
When you have this in real world, you can tell about it. This is just another computeranimated dream.
2:30-4:30 would be a great CS/GO map (y)
There are completely passive water condensers available now, that work on the day/night temperature variations.
So educate us. Make your own vid.
please tell us more
At first thank you for sharing such great knowledge.I have some queries like,
what is the minimum amount of humidity (in air) required to run this project effectively ?
and are there any dis-advantages to the nature of this sysem.
Prashant Shinde The industrial machines are designed to work effectively with 30% humidity or more. Of course, the higher the humidity, the better the production. We use this website to check the averages for people's areas: weatherspark.com/averages/29864/Concord-California-United-States Look at the relative humidity and dew point charts to get an idea. There really are no disadvantages I can see. They can be run on renewable energy, you can build a water station to accommodate the amount of water you need, and it gets water to people in need..
EcoloBlue Thank you so much for clearing my doubts!
#Helpful :)
@GoK, how can we invest in this?
If water is the most precious thing to mankind this is the most precious machine.. dehumidifier add filter add solar panels
So this is scaling up your home units to commercial size. Assuming an average of 1000 liters per household a day....one of these units would supply enough water for 400 houses. If water was reused up to 4 times as in earthship technology, you could support 1600 homes, possibly more if you produced water from air within each earthship. Of course places like Sahara desert wouldn't produce as much, but over time humidity would be trapped inside each house, outside in the air in micro climates that are protected by trees, windscreens, houses. This idea would work better out at sea with unlimited amounts of humidity in the air. However, at present producing steam from saltwater is the most efficient process to create electricity and water.
You're assuming a single house is using 250 gallons a day? If you lived in a area that needed this system you wouldn't be even using a fraction of that amount. That's a lot of water a day!
African and middle east countries are the best place for this kind of project middle east and African countries don't have any problem for sunlight which need for solar and air which need for wind power in this region humidity always very high.
what is the cost of this project

Why such violent comments? Something like this can work and, in Dubai, where rainfall is scant despite high humidity, it will work. However, I would rather gather the run-off from the absorption chilllers as it comes free of cost.
Minimum $6 million for just the wind turbines. 400,000 litres storage would cost less than $100,000 add in run offs collection and pumps with filters and you are likely to spend another $100,000.
I could build 30 of these just for the cost of wind turbines (likely to be more, up to 120).
What a joke. It does not exist. It does not work. If relative humidity is MINIMUM 25% and 5 degrees Celsius then I won't need such an extravagant use of resources to get such a small amount of water. Much better to capture the rainwater in such an area and store it for much less than 1% the energy and cost. If it worked in dry desert environments then that would be worth a trial. But it's either too dry or too cold for this. Nobody smart enough to afford it, would waste it on this fantasy.
they talk about 25% humidity
lol you do not need this system with such humidity go to the lake or river or wait for the rain and store the rain water
also making this things bigger in scale will not work
how much air you need to pump in to get the 400k?
so they are going to produce a storm winds to make it??
Israel has portable air water makers now for their military !
The system can work if you harness the thermal energy differentials in your environment well. Chilling the air during a sunny day to its dew point directly would require a great deal of energy but the earth about 20-50 feet below is much closer to the dew point. The ground can serve as a heatsink for the condensers. There is a least one species of lizard that uses this phenomenon to collect water from the desert sand.
Moses West, Veteran, Inventor of Atmospheric Water Generator. Research him. He is putting his machine in areas of the world who need water. He has a foundation. Please donate
In reality, atmospheric water generators (humidifiers w/ a filtering system) have been around for DECADES. West didn't invent anything. It's by far the most expensive and power hungry way to get water.
what is the effect on the atmosphere when enough water is taken out.
There is more than enough moisture in the atmosphere that our machines won't cause an impact.

EcoloBlue you are just using a large scale home dehumidifier to create the worlds least efficient, most expensive water collection method.
are these devices running on a large scale like in the animation, or is it still a concept?
great idea
It is just a concept of what is possible. We have interest in water station of various sizes, and in various countries. None built yet.

@@EcoloBlueOfficial you're the a third-person LOL, water made in the desert from huge dehumidifiers what end up costing $1,000 a gallon LOL you could truck in the Dead Sea for what they're claiming to make
* It is just an animation of what I know is impossible. We have interest in donated money of various sizes, and in various countries. Obviously non are built because that would require that the math of the concept is correct and the concept is feasible for the variables used in the math. Even with their huge amount of power, they'll never achieve what they say they would in this video. Even worse if the conditions become less than optimal or worse.
@WIFIGHOST CRUISER Did you read my reply? I have nothing to do with this EcoloBlue scam. I was 'correcting' the statement from EcoloBlue.
Very impressive. Astounding even, an achievement to be proud of. It's also the most expensive water I've ever seen. Make it permanent by building an eco-system around it (a few hectars at least). There's surely enough water to get it started. There's even ways to make the desert green without all of this tech, check out permaculture.
Impressive? It's animated. It isn't even real.
It's only happen in animation, thanks. Animation can do almost any things but nothing!
The EB10000 machine in the video has been built and has been proven to work. The animation is simply showing how the machines can be grouped together to produce larger volumes of water. So the technology is built and tested. We've been manufacturing these machines for 10 years.
EcoloBlue May I know the total cost of this machine
I expect 5million dollar?
Saw this decades ago in the first Star Wars movie. Luke's parents farmed water from the desert using a similar system.
In response to Craigslist Administrator, there are many types of energy sources available in the world, these are just a few example. Plus, if you incorporate energy storage, then this is a non-issue. As well as many other innovative green energy sources being created all the time.
+EcoloBlue Great concept and design, but can you please explain what is the purpose of a "remineralization process"?
You've essentially have pure distilled water by this process, and since 95% of all trace minerals we get are through our foods, and the trace amounts one gets through water is subject only to region, so I don't see the point of this. The most all this does is increase cost of operation and ownership, plus introducing a rather cumbersome point-of-failure into the design.
+Irene C It is the preference of the customer. 95% or so of our customers who purchase our home/office units do not want distilled water, they specifically want the minerals to be placed back into the water. As far as our commercial solutions, it is just an add on option should someone want it. As the water created for large scale solutions could have many end uses or destinations, mineralization does not come standard on those, but is an option.
Thank you for the followup.
Is because osmosis, if you drink plain water then all the minerals in your buddy will go out because it tries to compensate and the water will go out almost instantaneously, but if the water has the same amount of salt and minerals as the blood then you re hydrated, that's why sport drinks works better than just plain water from bottle.
Yes, that is the general consensus as far as people not wanting to drink water without minerals. As far as being like a sports drink, our water is no where near that. People would have to include their own additives to get it to that place.
Guys, don't want to hurt your feeling but this CGI doesn't work at all because it doesn't follow basic rules of desert.
1. Water extraction only work at night time.
2. All machines will filled with extremely fine sand, go offline completely after a short operating time.
3. The investment is huge people rather to built a water pipeline which is much much cheaper.
4. If as CGI said making 400,000 litre a day you must be so rich that you can afford USD 1.5 per litre.
You are taking this too literally. This is just an example of how a large scale water solution can be developed. Our machines have built in sand screens to deal with the sand. And if a pipeline of fresh water exists, then there wouldn't be a need for our solution, correct? Which is why we are a solution where this isn't the case.
Its doesn't work because my friend (another scientist) tried before. However, using solar energy to extract water from salty water (salty basin or sea) is workable.
I could make a million liter water generator, with sufficient finances.
money is the only limit
amadok sevtus how
not easy to explain
+Mr Berry Did you see that new press release called Rain Tunnel Technology out of India. It sounds very unique using high frequency sound waves to generate water out of air as low as 10 PPM. Is 10 PPM the same as 10% humidity? The inventor of Rain Tunnel claims he can generate water at 1 cent USD per litre. 8 cents per KWH is the average cost in India. It sounds like he can collect at least 2 gallons of water out of the air using 1 kwh.
Perpetual Overunity Wow, that is too cool. Got a link? I love it!
+Perpetual Overunity PPM is parts per million. It measures the amount of particles in your water. Ideal RO water should always be between 0-50 PPM.
Why the horrible intrusive music? Did we Americans assist in this video as it is something we would do. Congratulations on the cleverness and development of your machine! The very best of luck!
@EcoloBlue
The obvious next step for you is to create your own bottled water at half the price!
+The Long Night Here in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley I pay for a 5 gallon bottle of reverse osmosis city water $1 dollar. I heard from a ECOLOBLUE Rep that the can generate water at 18 cents a gallon. If we had solar panels on the roof we could generate the electricity to power the atmospheric water generator.
+Perpetual Overunity That is true. Approximately $.18 a gallon depending on power source.
+Perpetual Overunity
It seems to me that trying to serve a large number of consumers with this technology, such as a city, may not be financially or logistically viable.. Without overturning much of society to put it in place.
Developing countries would be interested. But I think if they can develop it to produce on a smaller scale then that could work really well. If they can produce enough to supply the needs of a family, then they can build the technology into houses. Or the equivalent to the local well...
That could change the world!
Just an idea.
That is why we have solutions ideal for a family home, all of the way up to an entire community. This water station is just one example of what we can build. They are completely scalable. If you need a solution that produces up to 30 liters a day, we have that. Or one that produces 50k liters/day or 1 mil liters/day, we can do that too. See more information here: www.ecoloblueblog.com/2014/04/24/types-of-ecoloblue-atmospheric-water-generators/
EcoloBlue
Thats cool. I would do some crowd funding to help projects in the developing world.
With all the crap people are funding nowadays it seems a shame for you not to.
You will make money, demonstrate the technology in a real world setting and actually help some people!
Win all around.
But good luck & keep up the good work.
Its good to see Moses West inspiring God's children.
EcoloBlue. I have a few questions. How much airflow per hour do you need to recover 400,000 litres per day? If you take 5 grams of moisture from 1 m3 of air, then you need around 5,000,000 m3h ( 5 km3!!!). If you understood the significance of this number, you would not stack the containers up and cramped together in the same space. Was an actual engineer involved in this project or just product designers? Who thought of installing the solar panels in every single direction? I also love the fountain at the water generating station. How much water is evaporated there? Overall it looks more as a publicity stunt than a project rooted in reality. Shame!
It's obviously just some random persons design. You are right about both points. Solar panels facing opposite directions is silly. Having those wind turbine. that close is silly too since they will lower the efficiency of the other wind turbine next to them. The places that desperately need water like this( like in the middle of the desert) have next to no humidity in the air to begin with! Meaning these systems won't work or barely work at all! Yes stacking(not so much stacking but having them side by side) the units so close is silly since the water they exhaust will have no humidity left and then that air will go right into another dehumidifier and extract no more humidity. There is a reason this is simply a compute render and not a actual place because it simply wouldn't be feasible to make this(cost wise and practicality wise) and that's why we don't see them. Places that are humid that this setup would actually work in don't need water since humid climates have plenty of rain already.
Brilliant. Just one problem. This will be so expensive that it would only make sense in places that were very far from water. But such places are dry, and have low humidity. So the whole thing is basically a high schooler's cool idea that will never be financially viable.
Why would anyone do this? Better to pipe in evaporated or reverse osmosis sea water. Use all that energy to make glass from the sand for more solar panels.
most technology already in the market and its all appear through one very basic concept and should use it to benefits the society ....anything producing something is definitely utilizing great amount of energy = there will always be consumables where parts cannot last forever.
One sand storm would wreck the entire system...
We have sand screens built into our machines.
Dig the tunes as well but this definitely has a lot of potential...
Moisture farms.............just like in Star Wars.
Yes, they were ahead of their time.
So certain are you!
This can be used in many desert areas in the usa. Could solve the water crisis here.
Unlikely, this system is not efficient, to costly unnecesary on planet Earth. better to pipe water from the nearest source.
+11wertyh It just depends where. Most of the people we speak with do not have a water source, that is the whole point. Create water where there isn't any.
+11wertyh WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO IF THEY EVER TURN YOUR WATER OFF ????I WILL WAIT UNTIL THEN THIS IS SOOO CCCOOOOOLLLLL
EcoloBlue any place has a water source with a long enough pipe.
11wertyh ciencia computacional
11wertyh
Ciencia computaciional
it will be great if you guys sale this to the people where they need water for drink
Most expensive water ever...
Depends how you look at it. Bringing water to an area that doesn't have any, has a cost, and can save lives.
Places that don't have any water tend not to have any humidity.
Meran Payman
Well done. Most people don’t understand the concept of....if it sounds to good to be true, then it is.
Do your research people, this is a ridiculously expensive method that only works with high humidity smh
EcoloBlue but at the cost to build this item, you could truck in water or build pipelines for cheaper.
Meran Payman - yes, and "they" don't already make water, crazy expensive in the here and now!
It's very good quality and I hope from that company support us and open one branch such as investment in Basra south of Iraq actually we are suffering from salt water I need to save my city.
Kind Regards
how to make money appear out of thin air.....
Water station means a facility for supplying potable water to the water storage tanks of trailers or other potable water containers. (History: Sec. ... Water station means a facility for supplying water storage tanks or travel trailers with approved water
How about making a coastline station using wave/tidal electrical generators to power it?
The waves are always in motion after all, and the tides are also reliable power sources. So no reliance on wind currents or sunny days.
And being situated close to the ocean, the air humidity should be almost at a maximum, but the water particles light enough to be atmospheric vapour would be too small to carry as dangerous levels of salt like seawater does.
It would essentially turn seawater into fresh water.
How do you factor in tides? Half the day, there won't be water by the shore to power the generator? Also, it would be cheaper and more efficient to just use a desalination system to generate water if you are next to the ocean. This machine unfortunately wouldn't perform anywhere near the way this video depicts it would. This system is in a desert and deserts are notorious for have next to no moisture in the air. If there is no moisture in the air, you can't pull water from it.
That is so AWESOME!!
Is there a chance that the water reactor will ever go critical?
The video was already 4 years...can I watch the real video project that already developed? Not a virtual video anymore.
I bet it could dehumidify my house in Florida!
Isn't that mechanism more targeted for finding it place in some kinds already existing hight buildings ?
Is it designed, thinked for above clouds covering or will some heights be dedicated for ?
If so, the design the air going thru will it be the external one, the extrants, the entrants one's,
The entire hygrometry and air "conditioning" the building, plus the autonomous supplier the "useable" water the building ?
Some information missing about technical opportunities possible in the matters providing the essentials to life and its preservation .
But, seems a kinda start in a collective conscience ...
There are countless ways, and industries, inn which our machines can be used. They can be used one machine at a time, 100 machines at a time, etc. They can be used on top of building, in greenhouses, as portable dispatch units after natural disasters, and many other uses. This video is not to be taken so literally. It is not a set in stone design plan. It is merely an example of what is possible. Any large project of this nature would be designed specific to your needs, climate, land area, power sources needed, etc. We do not have one in existence of this size yet. However we have over 15,000 individual units worldwide on 6 continents.
EcoloBlue
I won't ask for an individual "costume" yet ...
Whatsoever the hydrogen storage unit and affiliated process still opens minds ...
Thanks the sharpness the answer .
You have wind mills right beside solar panels so your panels will be shaded and have birds on them
This is not a design plan set in stone. Every project would be custom, so this is just an example of possibilities, and not to be taken so literally.
I have a much small version of your machine, and love it
what is it called?
This system and sea water extraction units are needed in Capetown, South Africa right now. The problem is how much will it cost, and can we educate the needed personnel to operate it by tomorrow? Capetown may run out of water sometime this year. Climate Change is here, not something to plan for in the future. We are so screwed, and we can only blame ourselves.
Our Distributor in South Africa is actively working on this situation in Cape Town.
this solutions WILL NOT WORK
do you miss the part of 25% humidity needed??
since south africa is coastal you are better off using sea water, remove the salt and drink it
it will be much cheaper and more realistic approach from this one
to get 400k liters of water do you have any idea how much water you need to pump into the machines? now do the math at see what kind of winds you need to produce just to keep the 400k liters production
lets put some wind mills and some solar panels and call it the miracle
where is the math?
where is the calculations?
they only state 25%minimum humidity WHICH IS HUGE AMOUNT and places that have this amount have not trouble with water
you can do what ever you want if you have the money
the only question is is economical reasonable??
because you can go in outer space and bring water from space
if i say to you the spaceships will be powered by solar panels would you like my idea better??
Take a couple of tug boats to Antarctica and drag an iceberg to Capetown.
Given that wind and solar only operate at about 30-40% overall efficiency, rather than their nameplate power rating, does that mean we get 30-40% of 400klitres a day?
I wonder what radius (in kilometres) of isolation a certain place will benefit from this system? I mean, if we can compare the cost of this system with the cost of laying water pipeline plus booster pump across desert (for example).
If you run air condition anywhere you will have water, we use to collect this water for car battery lots of energy using for water might be useful in the desert.
Why is this CG? So, there is no such actual station? Is it just a conceptual project?
I think it's a great Idea! Brilliant actually! Many Countries instead of fighting for land they should start transforming millions of square miles of desert land into productive farmland and even build new Cities! New Real Estate! The Sahara is so empty waste of space.
Since there is 9 times the water in the air than the oceans how will machines effect our ecology... Will some areas be water rich and others not? Can a person buy a system for a whole house ? What would be the cost and repairs and filters cost?
Looks nice. But windmills in the desert? Don't deserts have terrible sand storms on a regular basis?
If some place becomes "regularly" uninhabitable it is generally not inhabited in the first place, rather than sand storms worry about regular winds carrying tiny particles of sand.
This is a known engineering problem and there are known ways to deal with it. The generator inside would be protected, the main issue would be increased wear on the blades. Some kind of stronger coating might work, if not, the blades are pretty quick to replace and you can just make more of them.
A typical windmill pays back the money and energy spent building it in less than a year, any place with so many sandstorms it wrecks a windmill within a year is no good for building a city that would need those windmills in the first place. If you get a huge storm or earthquake or whatever that requires major repairs or replacement every 10-20 years, that is just business as usual. Just manage your finances properly and you have enough money in bank that instead of rebuilding the windmill you can expand by building ten.
At least its not WATERSHEER! This thing respects thermodynamics. Dont know about the cost though, it seems quite much but not unachievable
Nice 👍
*Nice investment.* Some places will have such stations, instead of laying expensive pipe networks.
This system must be used to irrigate adjacent sustainable crops to not otherwise negatively alter the barometric weather and maintain a relative humidity that encourages water collection and production. If it were primarily bottled and consumed elsewhere, this system would constantly drain more and more resources while at the same time reducing nearby vegetation. That would result in poorer soil conditions due to less groundwater, blown-sand would collect and not mix with composted-soil making vegetation deficit pockets and fewer cm of annual rainfall will create general drought-like conditions to perpetuate.
Conversely, irrigating adjacent crops and planting wind-break vegetation of bushes and trees could become integral to several farms which could have a positively nurturing effect that would see the reverse of desert-like conditions and the enrichment of soil for farming which would ultimately result in more annual rain-fall, more collected ground-water and we would see drastic sustainability improvements in some of the most agriculturally-poor regions of the world.
None of what you said is even a problem because this system has way more problems to begin with.
Maybe we’ll all become water farmers like Luke’s uncle on Tatooine!
PS - my SoCal water district just mandated one day a week outdoor watering so only the most hardy landscaping will survive. Maybe a house sized system working from solar can free me from the water district. Grey water is also helping
Yeah, I hear you, but I think the ROI might be something like 20 years. Maybe longer. That's why they aren't on every street Corner in areas that are going through an extreme drought. If I owned a farm that needed water, I'd buy one. they are TOTALLY cool.
The future is awesome keep up ecolo
Well at least we will have Star Wars from this. To begin with Luke's moisture farming :D
Wait a minute---where does the water for the trees (and their humidity-increasing loss of water) come from? Don't tell me....
Depends On The Region , I guess This Project Is Made For Dubai's Atmosphere
yes, they are the only people you can fool easily. 😂😂
How many years is the ideal spread for *CAPEX* recovery?
Don't thank me for my kindness, I watched this maliciously.
It is now May, 18, 2018. Are any of these 'stations' being built and tested?
It's May,04 2021 but could not found their availability in the market
@@ahmedfairgreen8660 Thanks for checing1 IF the technique wored and was economically viable it would be very useful for countries with large areas of drylands like ours. ¡Saludos desde Mexico!
Interesting concept!
I love this.... Just to have an idea, how much did this particular water station cost in USD, and how much is needed for O&M and general administrative expenses? Thank you
OPEX cost monthly
+Tomas Mogollon A 400k water station costs approx $19 million for the machines, tanks, computer systems, etc. We estimate somewhere between $1 and $1.5 million annually for maintenance and staff. However, every water station would be custom, so how it is staffed, what sort of filtration you choose to use, and whether or not you need any additional infrastructure built can vary these costs greatly.

According to the Russia media, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (www.rfbr.ru) has funded and the Federal Scientific Agro-Engineering Center VIM (Moscow) has developed and tested the Atmospheric Water Extractor "Vozdushnii Rodnik". The tests have been taking place since 2016 in the territory of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden (Yalta, Crimea). The Project Managers Mr. Oleg Vasilievich Sharipov, Head of the Department of International Relations, RFBR,
Mr. Sergey Sodnomovich Dorzhiev (VIM) and Mrs. Elena Gennadievna Bazarova (VIM) claim that AWG is able to produce hundreds of liters of water per day.
The installation, which was given the commercial name "Aqventus", is designed to solve the problems of supplying Crimea with water. "Aqventus" is superior to American and Israeli counterparts in water productivity. At the Russia-Africa forum in Sochi in October of this year, the layout of the installation was demonstrated to all heads of African countries invited by V. Putin to the first of its kind forum. www.aqventus.com
It's not that this technology doesn't work or that the water would be too expensive, but 99% of all settlements were found near a water source or they didn't last long so improved desalination or waste water cleaning seems to be more obvious solution. However, if your water source is contaminate or dries out these things do still work, and have been proven to work in as low as 10% humidity, and while it is obviously more expensive than tap water in some other country where pure water is plentiful it is far cheaper in the long run than transporting bottled water.
Which leads to my question: Why, given this has been proven to work and the people using these systems have nothing but praise for them, is the internet so full of trolls who keep claiming it doesn't and spread fake news that it is a scam?
People pointing at ancient EVs and solar panels and saying Tesla will never be able to make a working electric car or a solar panel that provides useful amounts of power were quickly proven wrong and everyone who had paid attention to how technology has advanced knew that would happen, but it made sense the ICE manufactures and fossil fuel industry would try to keep their position by spreading such lies. Water is getting scarce in may parts of the world, but it is obvious that some village in Africa where women have to carry water from ten miles away cannot afford to buy bottled water or to build water pipes from hundreds of miles away, and big cities cannot bring in enough bottled water for it to be useful and it its the current water provider who would be building all the desalination plants and water generators so there is no water monopoly that would be threatened by this technology. So why? Who would benefit from the misinformation?
Ummm. How do the trees increase net humidity when trees must be given water in the first place? It would be great if it is cost effective.
This is basically a giant solar powered air conditioning unit that uses free solar energy to capture the water created by the evaporator coils. I could generate my own water at home from my a/c unit,then filter it,or buy a dehumidifier and power it by solar, dirt cheap water.
Yes, but like all DIY most people wouldn't bother. Also this is a commercially viable option and even for home use much simpler and hopefully more efficient vs DIY method. I'm even interested in the cheaper model with alkaline filter, distilling water at home is such a hassle.
I was thinking it would be cool if they could make it double as portable A/C just exhaust the hot air through window. 2 birds 1 stone.
Animation is what you find about water from air. The technology exist but no company develop any working machine.
Regardless of this setups efficiency this technology is needed in these drying times. now it need a backer.
