Problems solved by technology

Water scarcity is problematic in various regions of the world.
Further, in the present day of conflict and environmental terrorism, the world's water supplies which are traditionally vast, covering a large real estate, and very difficult to protect, can be used by environmental and biological terrorists in potential attacks.
Of course the potential health hazards as well as economic costs for such malicious attacks are immeasurable.
The systems are all potentially vulnerable to attack by potential terrorists; however, little funding is directed towards protecting such a vast number of water systems.
Further, the practical logistics involved in protecting such large and vast water systems is very cost-prohibitive, yet the desire to, and urgency of, maintaining a clean potable water supply is present.
Bottled water also has the disadvantage of having t...

Embodiment Construction

[0061]In general, the water producing device 20 as shown in FIG. 1A is a device that encompasses psychrometric principles to extract water from ambient air and condense the water for various purposes such as potable water. Below is a discussion of various embodiments for producing water by way of psychrometric principles by cooling air and collecting condensation droplets. Further, there are various methods for purification of the water which are described below. Of course various sections of each embodiment can be mixed and matched to comprise additional combinations and effectively different various embodiments. In general, the various embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1-7 disclose a gravity fed type system. Of course various embodiments shown therein could be utilized with a loop-type system which is shown and discussed in FIGS. 12-28A.

[0062]In general, the water producing device as shown in FIG. 1A comprises a water collection portion 22, a water purification portion 24 and a wat...

Abstract

A water producing system adapted to condense water from the air and collected in a storage tank were the water is purified and bacteria is killed. One form of killing the bacteria is utilizing a circulation line with a filter system to remove the ozone before the water is dispensed. A circulation line is to prevent dead legs in the system which can lead to bacteria production.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority benefit of U.S. Ser. No. 60 / 607,369, filed Sep. 3, 2004 and 11 / 221,075 filed Sep. 6, 2005.BACKGROUND[0002]Potable water is essential to support and contribute to the well-being of societies. The mortality rate, particularly among young children, can be drastically reduced by providing clean, potable water, particularly in the case of preventable water-related diseases. It has been estimated that as many as 135 million people will die by the year 2020 where a causal factor for these deaths is unsafe drinking water as cited by the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development Environment and Security. Water scarcity is problematic in various regions of the world. Further, in developing societies it is desirable to have clean potable water to provide for employees in a workplace environment as well as family members in one's home. According to the World Health Organization in a report published in 2000, 1.1 billion people around...
