  • MICROFABRICATED PASSIVELY AND/OR ACTIVELY COOLED APPARATUS FOR HIGHLY EFFICIENT, LOW COST ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATORS
    Publication number: 20180363277
    Abstract: An atmospheric water generation system with high efficiency is based on a counter flowing heat exchanger including multiple cold channels, each cold channel surrounded by multiple hot channels. The hot and warm gases flow in opposite directions, allowing the cool dry air to contribute to cooling the warm humid air to the dew point. Thermoelectric or passive cooling of the warm humid air, and hydrophobic surfaces in a cyclone structure also contribute in increasing the efficiency of the water generation system.

  • Control of surface properties by deposition of particle monolayers
    Patent number: 10121919
    Abstract: The physical and chemical properties of surfaces can be controlled by bonding nanoparticles, microspheres, or nanotextures to the surface via inorganic precursors. Surfaces can acquire a variety of desirable properties such as antireflection or reflection, antifogging, antifrosting, UV blocking, and IR absorption, while maintaining transparency to visible light. Micro or nanomaterials can also be used as etching masks to texture a surface and control its physical and chemical properties via its micro or nanotexture.
