Watercube uses solar energy to produce clean drinking water Bashny.Net

Verheggen developing creative ways to obtain water, especially for areas with a hot climate and low humidity. Last invention kompaniii - Watercube this device, which is a 20-inch cube of stainless steel with integrated solar cells, inverted cone feeding the cooling unit to generate condensation by gravity condensate enters the glass

.


The biggest problem faced by developers in the design, it was Cone cooled to a temperature just above the freezing point without the use of large amounts of energy. After several unsuccessful attempts the team managed to achieve this goal with 25 watts of power. Small solar panels on the top and side surfaces of the cube can produce up to 40 watts, the excess energy is stored for water production in less sunny conditions.



How much water is obtained by the device it depends on climatic conditions: the higher the temperature, the more water will produce Watercube
. Verheggen and his team are working in parallel on the irrigation system, which has no moving parts and is ideal for outdoor agriculture.
