Hi Captainleeward,

Now, that's a useful homemade tool! Your Atmospheric Water Generator is the 'Tool of the Week'!

You'll be receiving one of our official HomemadeTools.net T-shirts:



Let me know (via PM) your size, color choice, and mailing address. We'll get the shirt in the mail to you directly.

Congrats!

Well done. I would think you would not want inside operation in most of CA given the already dry air, no?

Though in humid climates it would serve a dual purpose of generating water AND moderating inside air.

What is the quality/purity of the water yield?

And as point of interest what do you pay for residential water if you don't mind my asking.

Hi Shopstorm,

You must remember I live near the coast where water in the air is higher then the desert areas. What is the quality/purity of the water yield?
i don't know I am waiting for a water testing kit at present. our water and sewer costs are put together so I Don't know. :O)

If you're so inclined you might look a the effects of relative humidity and ambient temperature on your device. At higher humidity levels it will make more than at lower of course. I would be very interested to know how the capture rate falls off at low humidity levels. Those of us in arid areas could then decide on building one.

hi Rob, Yes I will share some results of the awg will take a few weeks as I need more time...:O)

In my situation living in calif. I need to have h2o back up system in the event of earthquake ect.

Hi Captainleeward,

Great post on the AWG. I would be very interested in all the details and pictures, as I am planning on building one of my own.

Thanks...Jeff
