This article offers a thorough guide for constructing a homemade Atmospheric Water Generator, enabling users to draw and purify water from the air in their environment.

This unit is made of components of both aluminum and copper that are of superior quality, thereby guaranteeing the safety of the water and that it is suitable for drinking.

This latest system has a distillation process almost identical to classic stove-top tactics, and is adept in hot and humid climates. Its usefulness is especially beneficial in regions with humidity that is high. Additionally, it serves as a dehumidifier.

FIRST STEP: GATHERING THE NECESSARY ITEMS

Putting together an Atmospheric Water Generator necessitates having a few materials that you can readily purchase from a store near you or acquire from an online shop.

For this project, you'll need a quarter-inch copper tubing, a soup can, a half-inch PVC pipe, a 12V DC aquarium pump, aluminum foil, a length of clear vinyl tubing, an aluminum tray to capture the distilled liquid, and a small styrofoam cooler.

To ensure successful distillation of water, it is necessary to have copper tubing and PVC pipe of exceptional quality that are strong enough to manage the cooling and heating processes.

Coils for the copper tubing are formed using the soup can, whereas the aluminum foil is employed to encase the PVC pipes, which act as the surface for condensing the water droplets.

The system requires a 12V DC aquarium pump to create a flow of water, while the components are linked together with clear vinyl tubing.

The aluminum tray is used to catch the purified water, which is clean and uncontaminated and fit for consumption. To ensure optimal effectiveness and efficiency, the copper tubing and cooling water are kept in the small styrofoam cooler box acting as an insulating container.

STEP 2: LINKING THE PIPELINES

We initiate the Atmospheric Water Generator assembly by attaching two half-inch PVC pipes at the two elbow joints.

Utilizing PVC pipes adds to the versatility of the design, while the elbow joints ensure a reliable and strong connection.

To improve the production of water droplets, PVC pipes that have been connected are covered with aluminum foil for condensation purposes.

The distilled water dripping from the coils is collected in a tray made of either aluminum or glass. This component is essential for the system, granting it the ability to yield clean water free from any pollutants.

The placement of the PVC pipes and aluminum tray should be carefully thought out in order to ensure it is functioning at its best.

To ensure effective distillation of water, the pipes should be placed in a spot with adequate air circulation to gather the liquid droplets, while the tray should be situated to make it effortless to harvest the pure water.

THIRD STEP : ACQUISITION OF DEW

An image of a DIY project for producing water from air can be seen below. This creative endeavor is a great way to ensure a steady supply of water in remote areas.

To start the distillation procedure, a cold liquid is circulated through two collections of copper tubing that have been coiled around a soup can in order to create the necessary shape.

The design of this system makes sure that a vast area is exposed to the atmosphere, which facilitates the coalescence of water droplets.

The copper tubing carries cold water, making the coils considerably cooler than the atmosphere. This temperature difference causes the air above the coils to lose its humidity, resulting in dew forming on them.

The coil surface is covered with dew, which is captured in a drip pan placed beneath it. The pan collects the distilled water formed by the dew.

To enable the water to travel through the system, a transparent PVC hose is affixed to the copper coil, and a 12V DC aquarium water pump is linked to it.

Depending on the purpose and location of the Atmospheric Water Generator, this pump can be activated by either a battery or a solar panel.

STEP 4 : INSTALLING A CHEST BOX WITH A SUBMERSIBLE PUMP

An image of a water pump can be seen in the featured picture. This object is capable of pumping liquid from one area to another.

Once the copper coil and pump setup is assembled, the next step is to place the water pump in a container filled with icy water, like a chest or a bucket.

A key factor in the condensation process is having water that is as cold as possible running through the copper coil, as the colder the temperature of the water, the better the outcomes of the process.

Once the pump is positioned underwater, it is activated, and the water which was inside the box cooler is pushed through the twisted copper piping.

The process of condensation is initiated when the water passes through the coils and is cooled to temperatures lower than the dew point, leading to the formation of water droplets on the surface of the coil.

It should be taken into consideration that the system's proficiency is contingent upon the temperature of the water that is traversing the copper coils.

If the temperature of the water is too high, it will not be able to reach the coldness needed for the condensation to occur, thus preventing the formation of droplets on the coil.

An image of a condensation water distiller can be seen in the picture below. The device is designed to separate the liquid from the vapor form of water.

The performance of the Atmospheric Water Generator is maximized when the temperature of the cooling water and humidity of the atmosphere are at their highest.

When the temperature of the water is low and the humidity of the air is high, the condensation process is accelerated and a greater amount of distilled water is produced.

For further optimizing the system, squeezing the copper coils together would enlarge the surface area that is exposed to the air, thus facilitating the gathering of water droplets.

By adding additional coiled copper tubes to the system, the capacity to draw water from the air is increased.

In order to maximize the system's output, it is important to find the optimal coil density that does not restrict the water flow rate. Squeezing the coils too tightly together can impede the flow of water through the system and reduce its effectiveness.
