VOICED: Turning air into water

Mark Parent developed a method to generate water from air using windmills, inspired by the idea of salvaging water from air conditioning systems. The windmills mimic the natural process of rain by cooling air to transform steam into water. This technology is aimed at isolated areas and humanitarian organizations, focusing on intelligent water management. The windmills are easy to install and can produce significant amounts of water daily, though they are costly. While not yet used industrially, there is interest from eco-friendly towns, suggesting potential market growth.
