An innovated concept for the production of drinking water using the “perpetuum mobile” technique utilizing atmospheric chilling for condensation of water

To relieve the challenges of water shortages, we have invented an innovated device that can produce sweet water in warm regions lacking water, and have submitted a patent application.

An exaggerated and not quite technically proper term “Perpetuum mobile for water production” is used to visually demonstrate its function, and is based on an explanation of its principal. It is based on the natural pattern where chilled air gravitates down while warm air rises up which means that the free atmospheric air from cool heights flows down to a condensing device to supply it with an inexpensive cooling energy which when in its heated state separately flows into a warm air balloon and acts as an inexpensive carrier gas.

The process mechanism:

In a water condensing device of a simple construction type, drinking water is produced by the surrounding air condensation on the condensing surfaces whereas the air is drawn from higher, cooler air levels (between 2500 to 4000 meters above sea level).

The cold air from high levels flows through lightweight piping made of textile cloth materials complete with cold insulation, onto condensing surfaces on the device to be cooled down. Through the heat/cold exchange process taking its course during the condensation, the previously cold air is warmed up and changing its density.

The now warm air is flowing through the textile piping made of lightweight cloth, absorbing heat from its surroundings and sun rays, until it reaches the warm air balloon with its equipment and devices. The warm air balloon carries the lightweight piping and keeps it in an upright floatation.

Warm air flowing into the insides of the warm air balloon serves as a carrier gas which keeps the balloon at the desired height of 2500-4000 meters above sea level in place.

The free floating warm air balloon is fastened to a cable which is anchored to the earth surface and is also bearing the textile piping with its location determined by the cable length.

Redundant service air acquired from the warm air balloon is disposed of with the help of disposal air balloon. This new invention will be more mobile and basically will provide daily water production of over 80.000 litres per day at 50% air humidity and 28°C surrounding temperature.

Much more quantity of water production is planned in “Air-Water-Transformations-Base”.

The essentials at the fact are that several warm air balloons of the described kind of single textile roads carry which form combinable linkedly a pipe with very big diameter which permits the transport of big col’s amounts from above down and thereby allows big amounts production of condensed water.

The first step – development up to the internal patent sequel phase has been done by myself as a private person. Until the next step of practical implementation is achieved, I would like to research the manufacturing and marketing conditions or clarify the option of sales of my patent rights.

To relieve the challenges of water shortages, we have invented an innovated device that can produce sweet water in warm regions lacking water, and have submitted a patent application.

The cold air from high levels flows through lightweight piping made of textile cloth materials complete with cold insulation, onto condensing surfaces on the device to be cooled down.

The now warm air is flowing through the textile piping made of lightweight cloth, absorbing heat from its surroundings and sun rays, until it reaches the warm air balloon with its equipment and devices. The warm air balloon carries the lightweight piping and keeps it in an upright floatation.
