Malibu innovator develops system that pulls 2,000 liters of water out of the air every day. Could this one day help California beat the drought?
California's latest plan to increase the state's water supply focuses on conservation, recycling wastewater, producing new water through desalination and capturing storm water.What is atmospheric water generation?And David Hertz in Malibu has figured out how to do it quite efficiently."Every tree and plant evapo-transpires, so basically is sweating moisture, so all that moisture is in the air at any given time such that there's six times more water than all the rivers.
Hertz begins by vaporizing 50 pounds of biomass from his property in a gasifier at temperatures near 1,400 degrees. The gases created as a byproduct are used to power a generator which creates electricity for use in his home and to charge batteries."Think of it as a tropical rain forest in a box," he says.
"You get the carbon out of the atmosphere, you hold it in the ground and then you get the added benefit of creating more plant life," Hertz points out.in 2019. All of the drinking water on his ranch is created through his process. And by using the shipping containers, the WeDew system can be easily transported to areas with abundant biomass but no drinking water.
