Israeli Invention Creates Water Out of Thin Air
By Raphael Poch February 16, 2015
“Therefore with joy shall you draw water from the wells of salvation.” (Isaiah 12:3)
Attempts to create viable drinking water solutions in arid countries have failed for years. However, thanks to Israeli tech company WaterGen, you can now drink water right out of thin air.
With WaterGen’s newest portable device, water vapor in the air is turned into potable drinking water. Inspiration for the device came from a similar prototype the company made for use by IDF troops in the field.
The device, which is worn in portable backpacks, allows soldiers to purify water that has been found either from a natural body of water, irrigation water or water that is not sanctioned for use such as water tanks on captured roof tops.
The unit pulls water from the air, purifies it while removing dust and other particles, and creates pure drinking water, alleviating many of the logistical problems involved in transporting water.
The portable units can filter up to 10 gallons of water per day, while ground units can filter up to 120 gallons per day.
While WaterGen first focused solely on having their device used by the IDF, it soon garnered interest from the US, UK and French forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and North Africa, as a more economically feasible way of transporting water.
In these Middle Eastern locales, transporting a liter of water can cost up to between $15 to $17 dollars per liter.
