Creating pure water in the desert of Mail out of thin air!


Possible solution to drought stricken areas


Dutch Artist/Inventor Ap Verheggen developed a device with a central unit costing €3, and created water out of thin air in the Mali desert! True, with the current design it took 6 hours to produce 1 glass of water, but if you have many of these devices then your are getting somewhere. 

He had been working on the device in the Netherlands, but the humidity in Holland is always high, so creating water wasn't so difficult. It works by sufficiently cooling the air such that you reach the dew point and water starts to condensate. If you collect the water properly then you will produce pure clean water. (Read the full article here). 

In the arid conditions of Mali he succeeded and opens the road to many possibilities in the desert. Of course he (and his team) will have to develop more robust water devices, but once developed you can think of many possibilities. May be in 10-20 years time the Sahara desert will be green again!
