Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) capture humidity from the air and convert it to potable water. The process is neither simple nor cheap. AWGs operate by using temperature control, an energy-intensive process. SunToWater Technologies hopes to overcome various hurdles with their new AWG units which rely on a desiccant compound to capture atmospheric water. The company’s goal is to have a fully solar-powered AWG available in the $5,000 price range, but right now they have a plugged-in version in the field testing stage.
Key Takeaways:
- By reviewing your energy bill each month you become proactive in searching for issues
- Don’t be afraid to pair different technologies together to obtain maximum conservation results
- The optimal time for this machine to run is in the dark to reach peak absorption
“A significant temperature differential leads to condensation, drawing moisture out of the air and eventually forming tiny droplets of dew. Gather enough dew, and you’ll have a usable water source.”
