Technology that is changing the world …
A group of scientists from the University of California at Berkeley presented their invention to the public - a device that literally produces drinking water from the air. The peculiarity of this breakthrough device is that it receives a liquid suitable for human consumption practically from dry air. - "This gadget produces the equivalent of water equal to the volume of a regular can of cola in just an hour," says Omar Yagi, a chemist and co-inventor from California. - “This amount of liquid is quite enough to survive for some time in the desert,” Omar Yagi concludes optimistically.
The complexity of the development was in choosing the right components to create the gadget. According to scientists, they use their own patented developments in the field of metal production: a special iron alloy of increased porosity in combination with copper foam (!) And give such a powerful effect of maximum moisture adsorption. Even in the shade and in absolutely dry air, their invention will function reliably. Well, such a gadget can be powered without any problems from the built-in solar battery. Almost perfect "Perpetuum Mobile" for the desert.
As the creators of the new technology from California told, so far they have only a ready-made prototype of the device, which has been working for quite a long time and quite stable. Now the Berkeley research team continues to work on scaling this disruptive project for humanity. At the moment, their current sample does not exceed the size of a coffee mug. However, American specialists hope that in the near future, a new technology tested on their prototype will be able to provide uninterrupted drinking water to vast, inaccessible and arid regions of our planet.
