Harvesting drinking water from the air with the power of space

Obtaining fresh drinking water from the air has been very energy intensive for a long time. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now invented a current less technology that uses the cooling of space for this.

The new device essentially consists of a specially coated pane of glass that both reflects solar radiation and radiates its own heat into space via the atmosphere. As a result, it cools down to 15 degrees Celsius below the ambient temperature. On the underside of this disk, water vapor from the air condenses to form water. I have published a dew point calculator

for this.

The Swiss researchers want to bring this technology to the south. It would be ideal to propagate such radiative cooling. So not only fields could be irrigated with water. At the same time, the fields could be cooled by up to 15 ° C, thus ensuring a good harvest. The heat stress is already causing enormous crop failures.

It’s also a bit of a moral obligation, because our wealth also comes from burning fossil fuels. However, the rising temperatures are increasingly affecting the poorer south. These radiation coolers represent a CO2 compensation, as the effect of the CO2 can be compensated in this way.

Relieving women from the burden of collecting water by providing a faucet for every household could enable them to contribute 122 million additional working days per year to the global economy

Women and girls can also benefit from this, as drinking water often involves a considerable amount of work in the south. Making southern communities resilient to heat waves and slowing down refugee movements has tremendous benefits, and one dollar invested in water resilience can translate into a return of $ 21, as detailed in the FT article .

Through a family business founded in 1985, I have been working independently with subsidiaries companies, for over 20 years in the field of computer science and renewable energies.

Even as a child, I was fascinated by the family's small hydropower plant in Styria and since then I have been in flames for sustainable solutions

For me social Photovoltaics is very exciting. Imagine you are struggling to afford electricity bills and the power of sun helps you, so the grid provider can hardly cut you off. So in the current situation everybody wants to save money.  Most people will rush to switch to the cheapest Electricity Provider and the cheapest Option these Days is the Sun. Even the International Energy Agency tells us these days that photovoltaics

he photovoltaic industry has made tremendous progress and is the cheapest way to build new electricity production capacity worldwide. Another positive feature is that photovoltaics produce no emissions. Finally, the danger of fine dust as a possible intensifier of the course of a coronavirus disease has also caught the attention of the media. ? We should focus much more on resilient and decentralized solar energy, also to improve the health, living conditions and financial

"The greatest weakness of humanity is its inability to understand the exponential function," said physicist Al Bartlett in his book "The Essential Exponential!" written. For Example there are 112 (known) corona cases in Austria today and the rate of duplication (outside of China) is 4 days. So could there be 1 million cases in Austria in just over a month? Do the calculations yourself with this doubling calculator: http://www.pv4.eu/calculate-corona-doubling-by-yourself_2048.html But you can use

“In summer, weights are transported up the mountain and left in the valley in winter, and the photovoltaic energy of summer is available in dark winter.” Bill Gates explained his investment in lift or gravitational energy storage technology in a similar way. Batteries are getting cheaper and cheaper and will soon offer a cheap, short-term solution for storing energy for daily energy needs. However, the long-term storage capacity of batteries, for example
