Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating water from an atmospheric water source involving (a) collecting a fixed volume of ambient air in a chamber; (b) raising the pressure of the fixed volume of ambient air in the chamber by heating the fixed volume of ambient air with a solar heater thereby increasing the dew point of the fixed volume of ambient air in the chamber; (c) cooling a surface of the chamber with air outside the chamber; (d) condensing the water in the fixed volume of ambient air in the chamber on the cooling surface when the dew point is greater than the temperature of the cooling surface that is in contact with outside air; (d) collecting the resulting dew in a collection basin; and (f) refreshing the air supply within the chamber.

Abstract: The present invention describes an atmospheric potable water generator apparatus and method of use powered entirely by renewable energy sources, which generates water from atmospheric air. The apparatus uses solar energy to heat atmospheric air in a condensing air chamber, uses wind to cool the air, condenses water on a cooling surface thereby creating potable water from atmospheric air. The apparatus may be used off the energy grid and can be applied on a large scale or for personal portable use.
