Windmills that produce water
Dr. Max Whisson has found a way to extract vapor from the air to turn it into water, while powering the operation by wind. This could be invaluable to developing nations that trudge untold miles just to bring water to their homes for use. I'm excited to see what comes next with so many people putting ideas into action!

Hi Nibor, this is yo mama speakin'.
I absolutely LOVE this blog!!!!!
Keep it going, it takes a while to build up a following, and some work, make a link in your sig file for your emails, and such.
This is beautiful and so right for us today.

Anyone know if there are any blueprints or documentation for creating this water producing windmill? I am already aware of other water collection methods such as those similar to the atmospheric water generator created by Ecoloblue, but those are also quite expensive and must be powered by electricity, so if the power were to go out for an indefinite period of time then it would produce no water. That is why I find the windmill water producer more feasible. I imagine we could use any self powered device to produce water in the same way as the windmill, such as solar for example, just as long as there is some sort of power source to produce the cold temperature needed to attract the moisture in the air. I am also aware of the other water collecting ideas and theories listed on KeelyNet, but I'm more interesting in reproducing the ones that are already working. I think it is critically essential that the blueprints and information to create these devices should be freely and readily available to everyone and not withheld for the purposes of patenting them to make a profit. I'm going to keep searching to see if I can find ways to use alternate energy to collect water.
He has listed most of his research here for the technology. Hopefully you will find what you are looking for here.

Ahh awesome. Thank you very much. Hehe, I actually have been to that site quite a bit. I have so many alternate energy links that I haven't been to it in a while. I will check it out. Thanks.
