Method To Extract Water From Air Discovered

Method to extract water from air using an independent solar-powered system, discovered by a team of scientists from the Technical University in Prague.

The first prototype of Solar Air Water Earth Resource (SAWER) has the capacity to produce 100 liters of drinking water per day anywhere on the planet, even in the desert.

How to Shed the Extra Pounds with Water Aerobics
Water aerobics is fast becoming a popular fitness mantra. It involves exercises performed in water. It helps tone the body, achieve stamina and lose weight.

‘This module can extract 100 liters of drinking water out of the air per day anywhere on the planet, even in the desert.’

The experts installed SAWER in the United Arab Emirates’ town of Sweihan, located about 70 km east of Abu Dhabi.

“It is not a revolutionary process, but an unusual one,” civil and environmental engineering professor Tomas Matuska told Efe news, adding it used dehumidifiers that are often employed in the food industry.

Matuska explained that the two-stage system consists of a desiccant that holds water molecules on its surface and then an air heater produces water vapor to be taken back to the surface.

Water Matters: Why You Need to Drink Enough Water Everyday
Water is essential to balance body fluids, boost brain function, improve digestion, prevent kidney stones, regulate body temperature, and control cholesterol. The required water intake for adult men and women is 3.7 and 2.7 liters per day.

A group of 12 scientists started the project in the Czech Republic’s capital in 2017 and created the first prototype that can be transported in two six-meter-long cargo containers.

One of the containers holds the production unit including distilled water equipment, while the second contains the accumulators to boost heat and cold processes, as well as energy control systems.

Drinking water decreases body weight. Water infused with fruits, herbs, spices, boosts metabolism and reduces calorie intake; helping in weight loss.

“The test (near Abi Dhabi) will last about six months because we want to have information with data from summer, autumn, and winter,” said Matuska, who is part of the team that developed SAWER in Prague. The device will be tested in the laboratory during this period, although Matuska said it only requires “air filter changes, water canister emptying and cleaning for the photovoltaic modules.”

The prototype cost about 360,000 euros ($400,000), making the water extracted very expensive – $10 per liter in the first year. The project will be showcased at the Dubai Expo 2020, to be held between October 2020 and April 2021.

“There is a great interest in our project, from the US to Australia,” Matuska said, adding: “We have signed a confidentiality agreement with a company with businesses in the Persian Gulf area.”
