Project Name : Water From Thin Air
Theme Name : Natural Resource & their Conservation
Aim/Objective: This project tries to tackle the problem of water shortage faced by millions of people in India, and around the world. Our atmosphere filled with water vapor, which we have tried to tap by developing small, efficient and cost-effective unit, which can pull the water out of the atmospheres, and convert it into fresh, potable water through the process of condensation.
Scientific Principle Involved:
Peltier effect, Seebeck effect, Condensation, Latent heat
Materials Used:
Peltier element, Cooling fans, Heat sinks, Cardboard, Connecting wires
Working:
Air is blown into the machine by fans situated on top. This air serve the purpose of cooling the heat sinks attached to the pelteir element which rapidly heat up. This heated air, which has increased capacity to hold moisture, is then passed through the cold side of the peltier element, where the moisture condenses onto the elements this water is collected, and the air is allowed to exit.
