Wind power: This type of turbine can generate electricity and produce water. No other conditions are required except humid air.
How it works: These components in the turbine also act as make-machines, extracting dozens of liters of water from the air every hour.
Typical turbines in North Ayrshire, Scotland: Wind turbines are very common, but it is the first time that it has been combined with a water generator.
This type of turbine will also bring great benefits to the dry rural areas who are trying to find water.
According to foreign media reports, according to foreign media reports, with a French engineering company achieving a major technological breakthrough, wind turbines can not only generate electricity, but also provide drinking water in wet areas.
Eole Water in France has improved typical wind turbines that can extract potable water from the air to help developing countries tackle water shortages. A prototype in Abu Dhabi can already produce 62 liters of water per hour. Io Le Water hopes to sell a turbine that produces 1,000 liters of water a day at the end of this year. The company’s marketing director Tibort-Yaning stated: “This technology will enable rural areas to have a self-sufficient water supply system. With the development of design and performance, the next step is to create a densely populated small city or area. Water turbine."
This new type of turbine operates in the same way as today's traditional turbines all over the world. In addition, the electricity it generates can also provide power for the water production process. The air is sucked into the protruding part of the new turbine and sent directly to a cooling compressor. Next, the moisture is extracted from the air and then concentrated and collected. The water is gravity-fed by a stainless steel pipe into a storage tank. After filtration and purification, it can be used for drinking, bathing or irrigating crops.
Yanan told CNN that a wind turbine that produces 1,000 liters of water a day is enough to provide fresh water to villages or towns with a population of 2,000 to 3,000. The communities in Africa and South America and remote islands in Asia are still lacking safe drinking water, and these typical communities will benefit most from this technology.
Yanin said: "In Indonesia's case, this country has thousands of islands and it is impossible to centralize the water supply system. The unique geographical structure does not allow Indonesia to do this. But our new technology can help them overcome these problems and make The islands are self-sufficient in a way that does not harm the environment."
Of course, those who want to buy this product should pay attention to its price: Each turbine costs about 400,000 pounds. However, Yaning pointed out that the economic conditions in the region will affect turbine prices to some extent. If a place is very poor, the selling price will be reduced. He said: "We have considered the selling price of this product from a commercial point of view. From the perspective of the input cost of the long-term solution, its price is not high."
Io Le Water said that in designing, they prioritized the optimization of water production, energy self-sufficiency, low maintenance, logistics flexibility and freedom from environmental impact. This turbine has a service life of up to 20 years. (Qiu Ling)
