Wind Turbine Creates Water Out Of Air

For millions of people, spanning over 20% of the human race, getting access to fresh drinking water is a struggle that could cost them their lives. Droughts are catastrophic for the people living in these drier climates but one company, Eole Water, is working to change that. Developed by French inventor Marc Parent, a new windmill uses electricity to pull moisture from the surrounding air, turning it into drinkable water. Marc was inspired by the condensation on his air conditioner while living in the Caribbean and he began working on a turbine that would use the power of wind to generate electricty which he could use in turn to pull moisture out of thin air.

"Each unit can create 1,000 liters of drinking water using only moisture and powered only by wind. Let me highlight this word : CREATE. All existing solutions (wells, desalination, lakes/rivers pumping, etc.) only treat an existing source of water. Thus, what happens when there is no or no more water available?" stated Thibault Janin, the marketing and communication director of Eole Water,  "The WMS1000 can create water when there is no existing source available. That makes a difference. Our technology integrates water creation, water collection, water treatment and water local distribution.  The WMS1000 can produce and distribute water everywhere."

So far the turbines have been tested in France,  Abu Dhabi, and soon Dubai. The Dubai location will be opening by the end of the year and will be available to the public.
