Atmospheric Water Generator Diy

Atmospheric water generator (AWG) is a device that extracts water from the air surrounding it. It is based on the principle of condensation: warm, humid air is cooled below its dew point, causing the water vapor in the air to condense and form liquid water.

DIY AWGs are typically made using a dehumidifier, a fan, and a heat exchanger. The dehumidifier removes water vapor from the air, which collects on a cold surface in the heat exchanger. The fan blows air over the heat exchanger, which cools the water vapor and causes it to condense. The condensed water is then collected in a container.

Here is a simple description of how to make a DIY AWG:

1. Materials:
   • Dehumidifier
   • Fan
   • Heat exchanger (e.g., copper coil, aluminum foil)
   • Tubing
   • Container
2. Instructions:
   1. Connect the dehumidifier’s outlet to the heat exchanger using tubing.
   2. Place the heat exchanger in a container to collect the condensed water.
   3. Place the fan behind the heat exchanger to blow air over it.
   4. Turn on the dehumidifier and fan.

The AWG will start producing water immediately. The amount of water produced will depend on the humidity level of the air and the size of the AWG.

Safety:

• The water produced by a DIY AWG should be purified before drinking. This can be done using a water filter or by boiling the water.
• Be careful when handling the heat exchanger, as it can be very cold.

Note:

DIY AWGs are not as efficient as commercial AWGs, but they can be a good option for people who want to build their own water supply or who live in areas with limited access to clean water.
