The SunGlacier device successfully captured water in the hottest, driest climate on Earth.
The SunGlacier device successfully captured water in the hottest, driest climate on Earth.
The innovative design team, SunGlacier, has created a device capable of capturing water even in the hottest, driest atmospheres. SunGlacier was invited by the Dutch Ministry of Defense to test the device. The Ministry selected a place in the Sahara Desert, located in the western Africa country, Mali.
SunGlacier named the device Desert Twins and said it is "probably the world's first artificial water well to work entirely off the grid." Desert Twins are named for the two units that work in tandem. One houses energy, while the other makes the water.
The device uses condensation to take water vapor from the air, like when water droplets appear on the surface of a cold glass. It is solar powered and uses a 12Volts, 50Watt system, which requires about as much energy as a standard car headlight.
