I think it makes sense. Now if you compress the air its self and then chill it you will generate even more water. if you had a lubricant free air pump the condensed water should be fine. anyone working with compressed air knows about the water in the compressor tank that you must drain. even in pecos and van horn, texas the humidity goes up at night. if you have wind power you can store the energy in batteris and run it at night.. and get the heat from its operation into your home for the night chill.

The pH of distilled water is 5.8. which is considered acidic. Cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment. My DewPointe, however, has a pH of 7.2-7.4. which is perfect. There are many good reasons to own an atmospheric water generator, one being no terrorism threat. It cleans the air in my home as well. I have owned one for over 6 months, and noticed no increase in my electric bill. Uses less electricity than my 12 Cup coffeemaker which is 1200 Watts, plus it doesnt use any electricity when its full. I think everyone should own one, if only for emergency. What peace of mind this appliance brings!! I just love it. Just plug it in and thats it. works on 110 or 220V. can be hooked up to solar. Drinking distilled water is not really a good idea.

That sounds like a great homeschooling project. Thanks for posting this article-it was interesting. I have a metal roof and I see dew on it regularly, but I live in CA where the air is pretty dry during the day. Does anyone have any good links to building the design described in this article?

It's amazing what we're learning in this information age and how easily it is shared. Thanks for sharing! I just found your site from RatRaceRebellion.com and I'm glad I did, great information here! I just bookmarked it. Very interesting story. It’s amazing what we’re learning in this information age and how easily it is shared. Thanks for sharing!

My wife and I are considering turning one of our barns into a guest house, the cost of plumbing is a big factor in the decision. I cannot come close to connecting to my well for the cost of one of these machines and passive rainwater collection and a composting toilet. My guess is that you could add more of these machines if you needed more capacity... The cost may not be an issue at all when you look at new construction.

I already collect the water generated by my air conditioner to water my plants.
