Wind or Sun to Water

A company of young innovators in France was created a splendid new technology. Eole Water, based in Sainte Tulle, France,  has developed a simple, robust, beauitfully rendered technology for sucking evaporated water out of the air, using an especially designed wind turbine.

The principle innovator behind Eole Water is Marc Parent. His vision was to create a stand alone system that could be set up in the world's most remote locations to produce both electricity and water.

The system works using evaporative condensation to collect up to 1,000 liters of water per day, while also generating up to 30 Kw of electricity.

The first commecial iteration of this technology is called the WMS 1000.  It is designed for set up in remote locations, without the use of a crane.   The WMS 1000 is mounted in a way that allows easy lowering of the mast for maintenance.

 

 

More than a billion people around the world do not have access to clean drinking water.  An even greater number do not have access to electricity.   There is an enormous need for Eole Water's technology.  The WMS 1000 is in final testing phaise. The next step is commercialization and distribution around the world. 

Eole Water is now adapting their technology for use with a 30 Kw solar PV array for places where sunlight is more abundant than wind.
