Io music water (EoleWater), French companies to improve the typical wind turbines, they can extract drinking water from the air, in order to help developing countries to solve water shortage problems. In Abu Dhabi, a prototype can be done to produce 62 liters of water per hour. Io the Yue water company hopes the end of this year to sell the turbines to produce 1,000 liters of water a day. The company marketing person in charge of Tibo Walter Yaning said: “This technology will enable the rural areas have a self-sufficient water supply system. With the development of design and performance, the next step is to create for the densely populated cities or regions provide water turbines. ”
This mode of operation of the new turbines are now scattered across the traditional small wind turbines around the world. In addition, it generates electricity can provide power for water production process. The air being sucked into a prominent part of the new turbine directly to a cooling compressor. Next, the moisture from the air is extracted, and then concentrated, collected. Water in the stainless steel tube into a storage tank by gravity filtration and purification can be used for drinking, bathing or irrigation of crops. Yaning U.S. Cable News Network (CNN), a wind turbine to produce 1,000 liters of water a day is sufficient for the 2000-3000 the population of the village or town to provide fresh water. The remote island communities of Africa and South America and Asia still lack access to safe drinking water, these typical communities get the maximum benefits from this technology.
Yaning, said: “Take Indonesia, the country has thousands of islands simply can not centrally manage the water supply system. Unique geographical structure does not allow Indonesia to do this, but our new technology can help them overcome these challenges, so that these islands in a way not to harm the environment to achieve self-sufficiency. ”
Of course, those who want to buy this product should pay attention to its price: for each turbine cost about £ 400,000. Yaning pointed out that, to some extent, the region’s economic situation will affect the price of turbines, if a place is very poor, the price will be reduced. He said: “From a commercial point of view we consider the price of this product from the investment in the cost of long-term solution, its price is not high.”
