Take a pan that will hold water. Build a slanted box to go around it. Lay a sheet of glass over the box. Put a gutter on bottom of the glass that can catch the water as it rolls down the glass (lowest area). Connect a tube to the gutter that will go to your gallon jug. Set in the sun. In the morning go get your water and refill the water that has evaporated. Way cheaper than $6k. Make it as big as you need.

Look up "air well". This is just a high tech version. You could stack up a lot of rocks (or any other non-water-contaminating material) for a lot less than $5k. Then add a solar still to get better than commercially distilled water. Of course the idiots in Oregon will probably make legislation banning this.

In most places, rainwater systems would make more sense. In the desert southwest, it might make a little more sense, but even there, the monsoon season can provide a great deal of any household needs. I would consider this a supplemental system.

Lots of naysayers here, that I'm guessing are clueless about what it's like to live in the desert. Especially, in an urban setting. I've often lamented that we desert-dwellers, really have no options for SHTF, drinking water sources. Let alone systems to gather and store it. I'm so excited to find this video, and learn that there's a company, just North from me, that has been working on a solution. Here in the Sonoran Desert, we're not only extremely arid, and extremely hot, but we are landlocked, without lakes, rivers, or streams. The only time we have rain of any significance, is during Monsoon season, a few weeks out of the year, and even that can be hit or miss when it comes to any chance of catchment systems. It's just not a reliable source. Thank you so much, for sharing about this option. It makes a lot of sense for many around the world, living in arid climates.

You had me until the loud noise. I would be pissed if my neighbor got that and I had to hear that all day

Maybe they will have problems worked out for the next version that Ben said they would bring to market in a few months? It's early days for the company so lots of improvements to be made. Every new model a few % increase in efficiency/generation of water and less noise? Sounds like what i would do with this tech.

We learned to do this in class during desert survival training in AZ… decades ago.

Fantastic and awesome. New sub. It's people like us who are saving the world 🌎 with putting 1 less plastic bottle at a time and pulling less of of the public water source.... God-bless you and your family 👪 ❤️ Chief

Excellent presentation Ben. I'd like to see a followup on how they remedy the noise issue which for me is a show stopper.

Great video! Thanks for the info.

Thank you, good video. I think the noise will be a problem for people. I live in an area that is not short on humidity, but is short of sun and is overcast most days. How would it work in an overcast cool climate?

One thing I've noticed about the US is this, I don't really understand why many places in the US ban water tanks - cold places excepted as I understand roof guttering and snow don't play well and frozen tanks might be a distinct possibility if situated outside. It is true there really are no places in Australia where it gets so cold a tank might freeze barring ski resorts but they have their own water supplies anyhow. That said, in Australia outside of cities and regional towns almost all people rely on tank water. We drink it straight from the tank, cook with it, shower in it, do our washing in it, brush our teeth with it yet we're all perfectly fit and healthy. None of us crowding hospital wards with dysentery or cholera. It is very rare for people to get sick from tank water. Where I'm sitting here typing this there must be 70 houses on tank water within 15 min driving distance. Within the area all houses outside our local town rely on tank water and there would be thousands of houses, possibly tens of thousands within the district. It is a complete no brainer and the water tastes great. Tanks types are galvanized corrugated iron (really steel or as Bluescope call it Aquaplate), plastic and concrete. If you enjoy a cuppa tea, tank water rules. If you're building new, if you plan it well you can use gravity to supply the whole house and never have to pump anything. Even in subtropical Queensland and Darwin you'll find water tanks.

@@kayak_1 Actually the science behind the Tesla doesn't make economic sense. It uses a secondary power source (electricity) which is generated by a primary power source (gas, coal, and nuclear) which is polluting, finite, and expensive. There are other technologies which will generate liquid fuel, like ethanol and methanol from technologies that use sunlight, air, and water to capture the CO2 out of the air. This will blow Tesla away.

@@scottpreston5074 Have you looked into actual electricity source mix recently? Have you looked into the efficiency of electric cars (especially Tesla and Koreans) making them emit less CO2 that ICE cars even if the electricity is 100% coal-sourced, which it nowhere is? Have you looked into the cost of CO2 capture and processes to convert it to fuel (of which all but Sabatier process are at laboratory stage)? Don't babble.

We purchased an Air-2-Water generator about 8 years ago. It is an enhanced dehumidifier with walter filtration capabilities. I looked at at the tpye of unit you demonstrated but the lower cost of Air-2-Water made the decision. In Missouri, the higher humidity gives us about six gallons of water a day. I siphon off water to store for days that are colder. It isn't perfect but it does a good job. I want to install one in an off-grid RV with a composting toilet and recirculating shower. It could happen.

Great video, and interesting tech, certainly one of the options for water for the future..

I am definitely considering one for my home.

I'm definitely interested but I live in the Northeastern part of the US and our winters are quite harsh with extreme cold and snow. It's a great idea and I would think a great investment whether in arid, dry climates or contaminated water sources. Great video with lots of helpful information.

Used to work for ZMW. I think they changed their name to something else. The problem is flowing enough air mass with the available PV energy. One standard cubic foot of air volume flow per minute can capture ~.0126 lbs of moisture (standard pressure, 100 degF, 20% RH, as in a desert application). So to capture 2 gallons per day (7.566 Liters at about 16.6 lbs water) means you have to flow 1300 SCF of pure through-flow (no sucking of the air you just processed, and no re-evaporation of water you've already collected. Sounds like a very doable problem, as all you need are 2 40SCFM fans running for 17 minutes. Easy right? Well it means everything must be perfect: perfect capture (absorb/release cycling matched to available air moisture at that time), leak free capture, no loss of heat, no evaporation of water you'd already collected, no spoiling of the water....you get the drift. The devil is in the details.

@@zerxilk8169 in fact it did, yet it takes two units at installed cost of $7200 to capture 5-15 liters of water per day. That's less than 4 gallons. It makes some of the most expensive drinking water in the world. Totally impractical.

Ideally, it would be great to have something more prtable that can move with you or come along in a camper. Cold weather functionality is a must if it's going to scsle to more than just desert regions. Very interesting concept , Water producing technology ia a necessary alternative now and for many in the future.

I own my home outright. I live in north Florida so something like this would be great considering I have a well and can't drink or cook with the water so bottled water it is... I would love to try this. Thank you for your video.

Why not simply catching rainwater? As people already do for millions of years, including people in the deserts of Arizona and Texas and is far simpler and cheaper? Our house can catch on average 100 gallons a day and not 2, plus it costs a fraction of it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah that's def a better option if you can do it. Needs tons of space, and rain!

Definitely do an update on future panels and thank you

Atlantians had water generators, tapered , consecutive lapping, tubes that that were alternately heated and cooled, with a fan blowing air through it. (course they had access to the Navaz, and so took the energy from the magnetic field)

Personally building something similar would not be difficult. The cost point is a little high with crain installation. I'm in a place that freezing cold temperatures 4 months out of the year. My ground water is also clean to drink. There are many places this would be good to have. Thank you for the video I watched in full.
