Problems solved by technology

However, general consumer acceptance of the system is still lacking, largely due to operational inefficiencies, noise, concerns about cleanliness, and general lack of user engagement
A major challenge with portable atmospheric water generators (AWGs) is ensuring that the water dispensed by the machine is potable

Embodiment Construction

[0055] Referring now to the drawings, like reference numerals indicate like or corresponding features throughout the several views.

[0056] Described herein is a non-limiting embodiment of an atmospheric water generator 100 for operating with ambient air in an environment and generating potable water from the ambient air. Portable versions of the atmospheric water generator 100 may include a water production element, at least one tap element 144 , and a computer element 150 . The water production element is preferably configured to convert water vapor from ambient air into liquid water. Depending on the particular implementation of generator 100, each water production element may include a dehumidification subsystem, a drying subsystem, an insulation subsystem, combinations of these subsystems, or the like.

[0057] The dehumidification subsystem typically includes a compressor 114 that circulates refrigerant through a condenser 116, and an evaporator coil that cools the air...

Abstract

Atmospheric water generators, systems and methods are presented involve user authentication, recording and tracking of water volumes dispensed by respective users over periods of various lengths, controlling component noise level and timing, and cleaning, heating and cooling the collected water more efficiently. The generators may be placed in network communication with other such generators to exchange water availability information therewith, or may communicate with a central server element by way of LAN, Internet, cell tower, peer-to- peer mesh or satellite. Information is conveyed to the user regarding the amount of water they consume from the water generators, and their resulting positive impact on the environment. Water dispensing data may be shared on the users' social media accounts, or used as inputs for competitions or games in order to further engage the user. User authentication may be accomplished by way of biometrics or an RFID / NFC tag embedded in the user's water vessel.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 888,470, filed October 8, 2013, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 984,723, filed April 25, 2014, each of which The content of the author is incorporated by this reference in its entirety for all reasons set forth herein. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to devices for collecting atmospheric water and dispensing the water in potable form. More specifically, the present invention relates to a portable atmospheric water generator having various features aimed at improving efficiency, temperature control and noise control, and facilitating user interactivity. Background technique [0004] Systems for converting atmospheric moisture into potable drinking water have existed for decades. However, general consumer acceptance of the system is still lacking, due in large part to its operability inefficiencies, noise, concerns ab...
