    Your experiment was quite good ! Can you please elaborate more briefly about the experiment ? such as each component

    im doing the same experiment for my final project to harvest water from adsorption material which i will use salt and silica gel together but with a different method. your video is helpful, thanks a lot.

    I have some suggestion, You use sand instead of silica gel beed. It also absorb and evaporate water. You can use same sand. You keep process continuous. I have not understood much but I have like your idea of evopartion using solar panels. You do your experiment on river water or sea water because water keep evopating from these areas. Use natural rotatary fan used for removal of bad air in market. This fan will bring more fresh air , but you need only way traffic of air , so use plastic pipe at higher hight. Wind flow from higher to lower levels. Using this technique, we can send lots of wind towards machine and trap lots of fog. Try it . Jay shree ram.

    All you need to extract water from dessicant is to heat it up and all you need to extract water from the air with a dessicant is to let it sit there (and ideally not be hot). Why bother with a solar panel and peltier then? Let the dessicant passively soak up water from the air at night, then during the day let it heat up from sunlight to drive off that moisture. Use a heatsink of some sort in perpetual shade (or the ground or a large thermal mass in the shade) to cool the rejected water vapor back down to condense it. It doesn't have to be below ambient, just below whatever the temperature of the water vapor is. And you can pretty easily design a box that gets super hot in direct sunlight, like with solar thermal collectors. Then all you need to do is design some passive cooler to let bring the water vapor just somewhat close to the ambient temperature. That way you dont have to screw around with the efficiency of solar panels or the poor COP of peltiers. Just let the sun heat up the dessicant a lot, absorb the water at night when its naturally cooler, and use literally anything cooler than the hot solar thermal collector to condense the water during the day. Maybe a servo motor to open and close ducts could help. Why make making a temperature difference more complicated than it needs to be? My thought on how to do this would be to fill a 55 gallon drum with dessicant, spray paint at least one side black, and maybe put it in a glass box thats thermally insulated. At night air could flow in through holes covered in mesh and during the day the vapor would flow up and out to either a heat sink in the shade (maybe connected to a thermal mass that cools back down at night or maybe to a radiant sky cooler.) I can't imagine it would be less efficient than a 15% efficient solar cell, and you wouldn't have to swap dessicant packets.

    Did you also check for carbon content within the water?
