Abstract: A system for producing potable water from atmosphere includes an enclosure with at least one intake port and exhaust port. The system includes a plurality of panels arranged within the enclosure substantially parallel to each other along a central axis. Each of the panels is made of a material on which water condensate from the atmosphere forms in response to a temperature differential between the material and the atmosphere passed through the enclosure. The system includes a plurality of conduits arranged to pass through the panels. A cooling fluid is passed through the conduits to cool the panels. The amount of water condensate formed on surfaces of the panels in response to cooling is detected. The panels are rotated about the central axis within the enclosure to remove the water condensate from the surfaces of the panels when the detected amount of water condensate exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: In a system and method for converting potential energy into electrical energy, a force is applied to a force receiving end of a pendulum arm of a pendulum. The pendulum arm is connected to a periphery of a wheel. The wheel is rotated using the force applied through the pendulum arm and the connection between the pendulum arm and the periphery of the wheel. A rotational force produced by the wheel is then transferred to a generator through a gear mechanism. Electricity is generated by a generator using the rotational force produced by the wheel.
