International. Recently a new system was developed that works by means of a wind turbine which allows to obtain drinking water from the humidity of the air at a rate of about 1,500 liters per day.
According to its manufacturers, this product is driven by the wind, so it does not need additional energy to operate, it also does not pollute the environment, because it only extracts water, filters it and then remineralizes it. In addition, it can produce 30kW of electricity and withstands winds of up to about 180 kilometers per hour.
Part of the energy obtained is used to run the air condenser, which is equivalent to one meter high by 5 kilometers long, being larger than that of a residential air conditioning system and that allows it to produce drinking water.
The manufacturer of the system is based in France and is known as Eolewater, which offers this product under the reference WMS1000. According to information revealed by the Chilean newspaper cooperativa.cl the development of this system cost about US$2.7 million.
