I'm in Missouri and use Peruvian style fog catchers in the garden. Just some poles with nylon netting stretched between them. The water catches on the nylon in the morning and drops towards the garden. We have a higher humidity so it works when it's supposed to. That is a great idea for capturing potable water for people to drink and cook with. Air2Water generation is going to be a big part of our lives all over the world.
Its important to note that this wouldn't be used anywhere water is scarce since it requires that the area it is in already has a lot of water in the air. Could be useful though in communities where the water has been polluted.
It's important to note that you're completely wrong. While a lower rainfall/arid region would not get as much use out of this vs a humid/tropical region there is definitely a use to it because while they don't get rain as much due to adverse conditions, they do still get moisture in the air that could be harvested via these means.
@@beowulf1417 It won't do crap in low humidity areas that never reach dewpoint. People have been using this technology for hundreds of years in the places that it works. The advantage is that it collects water for you in a humid area so that you can have fresh water even if it doesn't rain, or if you're not near a stream. It's particularly useful on tropical islands that may have no other source of fresh water. If it's not humid, you need a refrigerant to lower the humidity in the device (or a dessicant to collect it that you can then apply heat to to release the water). This uses a LOT of energy, which is why water condensers for dry areas are a dumb idea because it would be cheaper to just build a pipeline to carry water from somewhere that it's easier to get.

Yes very few people go there so very few people know :- "So Swakopmund (town in coastal Namibia) residents experience about 300 days of fog each year." The coastal regions get extensive foggy days and fog has moisture in it.

For this thing to work you will have to cool it artificially and that will take more power and cost more money then simply hauling a bladder of water on a flatbed truck. And this is not the first scam of its kind. MANY other such scams come along and have been debunked. NEVER has any "working" model of them been produced. Sometimes you see a "demo" structure, but you will never be allowed to examine and monitor its operation. Only claims of function are made. There will be no results. These things will not produce any more liquid water than the dew on the grass and that has never been able to meet the demands of a civilization or even a small community. THis is a scam!

Fungi/Mold should not grow on surfaces like plastic, metal or glass unless there is a layer of grease or some other organic substance which it can feed on.

@@zGunTroll they did describe it, and it has nothing to do with streams lol. It's supposed to remove water from the air. And no it won't work it's a scam.
BRILLIANT! Absolutely great! Well done. And of course everybody 'knew' about it. And 'of course' nobody is interested. And 'of course' everything stays the same.
I saw a documentary about people in Chile (or somewhere in south america) who already use nets to harvest water like this. This version looks far more complicated than the ones they were using. Still a nice idea.
Its called atrapanieblas. its a system to take advantage of the camanchaca, a morning fog with high wáter density and affects commonly most of the coastal border in Chile. Also in south of Peru. Obviously he take the atrapanieblas as a referent, cause its a way older technique.
Used in South Africa and Namibia. Only works when the sea mists gets blown onto land. Started with the Namibian beetles that stands on their front legs to harvest moisture from the sea mist.
Very cool- the idea of the air well. I had one in my mind that inhaled air from the atmosphere and condensed the water underground in a holding tank. I think your idea is very elegant
That's very interesting.. I want an air well but one that will focus more on condensation efficiency although 300 liters a day is nice if we multiply that by 5 we could have enough to create a hydroelectric power plant that produces clean water and electricity at the same time.. and that's all we really need because from that electricity and water we could create liquid hydrogen for free.. for combustion engines it burns clean and that's about as cheap as fuel comes considering water is the most abundant resource on the planet.
I wonder what's the price and longevity of this structure. In high moisture areas where it will produce substantial amt of water its possible to just treat whatever water is in rivers or lakes. So this whole beautiful thing may produce more waste and cost over life-cycle unless it can beat traditional water treatment tech.
@@billiamc1969 In a community where women & children waste 1/4 of their day collecting water, even frequent replacements are going to be cost saving. Plus the test models are made of bamboo; the actual ones are made of local materials, which may or may not hold up better over time. My concerns are does it really work that well? Will the collection basins become mosquito breeding grounds? And how are they keeping dirty, cholera-carrying hands out of the collection basins?
@@frenstcht Another consideration is humidity level. The areas where this would be the most useful would also be the areas where low humidity would keep it from producing any usable quantity of water. Godspeed to him if can make it work, but only I'll believe it when I see it.
@@billiamc1969 bamboo is an extremely fast growing and sustainable building material. in areas where it doesn't grow something else will need to be used.
Right. at most it would produce maybe 1 pint overnight in average humidities. Unless you have fog every day. They might get 100 liters if they have a water hose filling it!
It's only going to produce a lot of water in places so humid that they don't have difficulty getting water. Now some places might struggle with getting water that isn't contaminated and this could help there, but they act like it'll work in the whole developing world when really it would, at best, work in 5% of it.
@@warrmalaski8570 This one isn't nearly as bunk as the one Thunderf00t debunked. That one was a tiny portable device DIRECTLY claimed to get drinking water from a DESERT. This one is large, relatively cheap, and might actually supply a significant amount of basically clean water in a small number of areas which have contaminated water.
@@warrmalaski8570 I live in a super humid environment and we have problems getting water anyway. So this is perfect for us. I like Thunderfoots videos but sometimes he exxagerates the unviability of a claim.
It has to be 100%. This device works by collecting condensation and does not cause condensation on it's own. It's no different than how trees collect dew in the morning.
This is quite the gift to humanity. There has been over a million people displaced due to draught back in my country of Somaliland. This would be a game changer especially to the pastoral communities.

This isn't a CGI model of a passive device that condenses water where it wasn't already condensing. The temperature already drops below the dew point and they're in a humid region. Notice the trees and grass and mud? Yeah, they're not lacking water even without this device as long as they can dig a well. However, this is likely much higher quality water for the cost of only wood, cloth, rope, and manpower.

It is a smashing exclusive guide for getting prepared for a mega drought minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate at very last got excellent results with it.
Sir, I am really impressed by your efforts of producing the clean water for the needy. May I know some details like what cost comes to per litre of produced water, will it produce more water near sea shores?
from my background knowledge, the most important things to be considered is the moist contained in air (we call it humidity- the higher the better). no matter where the location of the warka water tower to built is, the humidity is the most important. you can check using digital higrometer, or just check on your phone. another things is temperature different night and day. but don't worry. just can check from the tip of the leaves around you. if in the morning there is a dew, so your warka water tower is possible to be built. the question of how many water you can harvest, it really depend on the location and your conctruction... and it need some complicated calculation. just build it, and the answer is coming....i hope this gives your a shed of light
It actually isn't the one. As long as the dewpoint is above the current temperature you get water formation on any surface, hence why grass is sometimes wet in the morning. This is a well established survival tactic, just scaled up.
they arn't saying that they will get the water from the desert and clearly shows them being in very foggy places and has no silly amount of produced water so....
This is far more convincing than any of the stuff he's debunked, if only because it _doesn't_ seem too good to be true, mainly due to the size of the thing and the speed at which it collects the water. I mean you see condensation on the grass and on windows all the time. It also doesn't look like a business case for investment but rather one of a humanitarian nature
LOL I remember several stories where well-meaning people arranged for water pumps to be placed inside the village, so the women would not have to walk many kilometres to and fro every day. The women were enraged! Now they no longer had privacy away from the men (and smaller children) to have some private and deep conversations, teach the women about 'women's stuff' and also they felt less useful and appreciated. So all in all what should have been something liberating actually turned out to be demeaning (loss of status) and restricting (loss of privacy and free/education time) to them. The happy solution was of course placing the pumps away from the village, so the useful walks were shorter and safer and the water still was of better (safer to drink) quality.
@@zGunTroll I'm speaking in generalities about certain people's mindset, "Free" was not meant literally.

They’re claiming 100 L a day that’s approximately 1 L every 15 minutes or half a litre in seven minutes, I would imagine that this is only possible in a high humidity environment for example when it’s raining or very foggy but the laws of thermodynamics make this very unlikely to work other than in very specific environmental circumstances

You dont have to live in a desert to have a water problem. If they cant drill wells and have no nearby rivers or lakes its STILL a problem. You can still die of dehydration in a rainforest. waters no good if you cant access it
I don't think this would work, because it would rely on high humidity, which means the wood would quickly rot. It won't be sanitized by UV light with a constant haze in the sky around it.

They are priming you for what our future is going to be in a few years when the commi marxist globalist left takes over the world.
@@illbeyourmonster3591 Marx wasn't a communist. Communism isn't globalist. The left isn't communist. The left isn't Soviet. Communism isn't what hurt the Soviets. And I'll just toss this one in there since you probably believe it too: liberalism isn't the left.
What we really need is priming for when the capi smithist imperialist right takes over the world and turns it into a complete shithole. Oh wait, they already did! And it is a complete shithole! Imagine living in that shithole of a world and thinking that the worst thing we could have is change. Humanitarian change, no less.

YEP! just as much phony baloney now as it was with all the other sci-fi crap from that stoopid dumb-ass show.
Let me splain something
This is a SCAM
There is only so much moister in the air
It takes a certain amount of energy to change the state of gaseous water to liquid water.
For this thing to work you will have to cool it artificially and that will take more power and cost more money then simply hauling a bladder of water on a flatbed truck.
And this is not the first scam of its kind.
MANY other such scams come along and have been debunked.
NEVER has any "working" model of them been produced.
Sometimes you see a "demo" structure, but you will never be allowed to examine and monitor its operation.
Only claims of function are made.
There will be no results.
These things will not produce any more liquid water than the dew on the grass and that has never been able to meet the demands of a civilization or even a small community.
THis is a scam!
@@scotte2815 Oh I agree with you. There is no way in hell this thing will work unless you have temperature changes from high to low to produce condensation/dew, but ya crossed a line when ya called Star Trek stoopid! Thems fightn werds!!

@@Rem_NL the video explains what the device is for within the first min. you can live in a jungle and not have access to water. It shows a damp misty morning because thats how it works, it would not work in a desert
Thats not how fungus works.
Fungi/Mold grows and feeds on organic substances such as wood or cotton. Fungi/Mold should not grow on surfaces like plastic, metal or glass unless there is a layer of grease or some other organic substance which it can feed on. The only organic thing there is the bamboo and the clay basin can be washed. I'm sure they usually boil water before they drink it.
@@zGunTroll they did describe it, and it has nothing to do with streams lol. It's supposed to remove water from the air. And no it won't work it's a scam.

There is not enough surface area for one of those to do that. They are way over exaggerating.
@@tzoninghard2425 How do you mean surface area? Isn't this about the volume of the column of air which the tower occupies?
I saw a documentary about people in Chile (or somewhere in south america) who already use nets to harvest water like this. This version looks far more complicated than the ones they were using. Still a nice idea.
Yes, www.fogquest.org
They have a heavy fog that comes in from the ocean there every night, so I think it is a different situation.
Its called atrapanieblas. its a system to take advantage of the camanchaca, a morning fog with high wáter density and affects commonly most of the coastal border in Chile. Also in south of Peru. Obviously he take the atrapanieblas as a referent, cause its a way older technique.
Used in South Africa and Namibia. Only works when the sea mists gets blown onto land. Started with the Namibian beetles that stands on their front legs to harvest moisture from the sea mist.
Very cool- the idea of the air well.
I had one in my mind that inhaled air from the atmosphere and condensed the water underground in a holding tank. I think your idea is very elegant
That's very interesting.. I want an air well but one that will focus more on condensation efficiency although 300 liters a day is nice if we multiply that by 5 we could have enough to create a hydroelectric power plant that produces clean water and electricity at the same time.. and that's all we really need because from that electricity and water we could create liquid hydrogen for free.. for combustion engines it burns clean and that's about as cheap as fuel comes considering water is the most abundant resource on the planet.
world need more people like you
This man is a GENIUS this can bring water to many hot countries with no water!
it "will" be free. As in, this is not a working project.
I wonder what's the price and longevity of this structure. In high moisture areas where it will produce substantial amt of water its possible to just treat whatever water is in rivers or lakes. So this whole beautiful thing may produce more waste and cost over life-cycle unless it can beat traditional water treatment tech.
@@Peteruspl Bamboo will not hold up very long in the sun and rain, leading to the structure needing to be replaced every other year.
@@billiamc1969 In a community where women & children waste 1/4 of their day collecting water, even frequent replacements are going to be cost saving. Plus the test models are made of bamboo; the actual ones are made of local materials, which may or may not hold up better over time.
My concerns are does it really work that well? Will the collection basins become mosquito breeding grounds? And how are they keeping dirty, cholera-carrying hands out of the collection basins?
@@frenstcht Another consideration is humidity level. The areas where this would be the most useful would also be the areas where low humidity would keep it from producing any usable quantity of water.
Godspeed to him if can make it work, but only I'll believe it when I see it.
@@billiamc1969 bamboo is an extremely fast growing and sustainable building material. in areas where it doesn't grow something else will need to be used.
100 liters of water... at what relative humidity??? Will it blow over in the wind?
Right. at most it would produce maybe 1 pint overnight in average humidities. Unless you have fog every day. They might get 100 liters if they have a water hose filling it!
It's only going to produce a lot of water in places so humid that they don't have difficulty getting water. Now some places might struggle with getting water that isn't contaminated and this could help there, but they act like it'll work in the whole developing world when really it would, at best, work in 5% of it.
As thunderfoot put it. It will only work where water is plentiful any way.
@@warrmalaski8570 This one isn't nearly as bunk as the one Thunderf00t debunked. That one was a tiny portable device DIRECTLY claimed to get drinking water from a DESERT. This one is large, relatively cheap, and might actually supply a significant amount of basically clean water in a small number of areas which have contaminated water.
@@warrmalaski8570 I live in a super humid environment and we have problems getting water anyway. So this is perfect for us.
I like Thunderfoots videos but sometimes he exxagerates the unviability of a claim.
What is the humidity required for this to work? 100litres from what size (base width and height)?
They made this in a very moist area. Anywhwere else it would be innefective.
@@teos4664 it works veey well in places like asian forests
@@teos4664 Shit come to the southern states.
It has to be 100%. This device works by collecting condensation and does not cause condensation on it's own. It's no different than how trees collect dew in the morning.
would be much more effective to just catch rain water and store it.
You're doing God's work mate. A huge respect to you and your hard work into making lives of these people easy
Thank you, penis
This is quite the gift to humanity. There has been over a million people displaced due to draught back in my country of Somaliland. This would be a game changer especially to the pastoral communities.
Rows of fog net is infinitely more efficient than this. This could be like a landmark for taking pictures instead.
and the wind changes and bypass the rows... now what?
even if it works. these people are still living in an area that's not well serviced.
and it looks simpler/cheaper to implement and manage.. the only problem is that all of this crap relies on western disposable income and availability, not on the second to third world levels lol

@@hjertrudfiddlecock4394 who are you referring to?
This isn't a CGI model of a passive device that condenses water where it wasn't already condensing.
The temperature already drops below the dew point and they're in a humid region.
Notice the trees and grass and mud? Yeah, they're not lacking water even without this device as long as they can dig a well.
However, this is likely much higher quality water for the cost of only wood, cloth, rope, and manpower.

This is good news. But what happens when the weather gets WINDY?
It likely won't work at all anyways in many places. Low humidity areas don't condense water.

It is a smashing exclusive guide for getting prepared for a mega drought minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate at very last got excellent results with it.
Sir,
I am really impressed by your efforts of producing the clean water for the needy. May I know some details like what cost comes to per litre of produced water, will it produce more water near sea shores?
from my background knowledge, the most important things to be considered is the moist contained in air (we call it humidity- the higher the better). no matter where the location of the warka water tower to built is, the humidity is the most important. you can check using digital higrometer, or just check on your phone. another things is temperature different night and day. but don't worry. just can check from the tip of the leaves around you. if in the morning there is a dew, so your warka water tower is possible to be built. the question of how many water you can harvest, it really depend on the location and your conctruction... and it need some complicated calculation. just build it, and the answer is coming....i hope this gives your a shed of light
@@gedeardaunud1361 then the quantity of humidity is the base in which then tower will work ?
@@mohamedelabasery475 if you use Whatsapp you can reach me to discus this on +628174767372... it is interesting to understand the humidity behavior...
Yes Thunderf00t, this is the one....;)
I was just thinking "I wonder if thunderf00t is gonna rip this one apart"
It actually isn't the one. As long as the dewpoint is above the current temperature you get water formation on any surface, hence why grass is sometimes wet in the morning. This is a well established survival tactic, just scaled up.
Did he debunk this one?
they arn't saying that they will get the water from the desert and clearly shows them being in very foggy places and has no silly amount of produced water so....
This is far more convincing than any of the stuff he's debunked, if only because it _doesn't_ seem too good to be true, mainly due to the size of the thing and the speed at which it collects the water. I mean you see condensation on the grass and on windows all the time. It also doesn't look like a business case for investment but rather one of a humanitarian nature
Good Use of Knowledge for Humanity! Genius! 🌷🌿🌍💖

@@Channel-tr1hx Yeah, but we want the construction documents for this one.
LOL I remember several stories where well-meaning people arranged for water pumps to be placed inside the village, so the women would not have to walk many kilometres to and fro every day. The women were enraged! Now they no longer had privacy away from the men (and smaller children) to have some private and deep conversations, teach the women about 'women's stuff' and also they felt less useful and appreciated. So all in all what should have been something liberating actually turned out to be demeaning (loss of status) and restricting (loss of privacy and free/education time) to them.
The happy solution was of course placing the pumps away from the village, so the useful walks were shorter and safer and the water still was of better (safer to drink) quality.

Beatifull idea , congratulations architect !
Very proud off my brothers 😊
Look at the background. Nice green well water grass and deciduous trees. This area doesn't have a moisture problem. Try this in an area with a humidity of 25% or less. Like where something like this would actually be needed.
You dont have to live in a desert to have a water problem. If they cant drill wells and have no nearby rivers or lakes its STILL a problem. You can still die of dehydration in a rainforest. waters no good if you cant access it
I'm curious on the bugs being attracted to or sticking in the mesh, let alone mold, moss, plants, dirt and debris in wind storms, pollen and fungus?
I don't think this would work, because it would rely on high humidity, which means the wood would quickly rot. It won't be sanitized by UV light with a constant haze in the sky around it.
@Peter Rabbit Well if you have humidity for part of the day or week and sheer sun for part, then I suppose you could get a decent amount of sanitary water. But that just further narrows down where these will work.
Eh it's better than nothing or the brown water they get from the creek 🤷🏼♀️ and I guess they can boil it
@@TheReaverOfDarkness like the redwoods, tallest trees on earth can grow so tall because they absorb water from the fog using their tree tops once they get to a certain height.

This water must be filtered and boiled, just like river water.
