New solar panels can make drinking water from air
![]() |
Core Tip: Frisen has developed a solar panel called “Source,†which draws moisture from the air people breathe daily and then compresses it into drinking water.
According to foreign media, water is the most precious commodity for mankind, and water is becoming increasingly scarce. If it can draw water from the air?
According to the November 11 report of the "Popular Science" monthly website, Cody Frisen, the founder of American start-up company Zero Quality Water Company, is doing such a thing.
Frison developed a solar panel called "Source" that extracts moisture from the air that people breathe daily and then compresses it into drinking water.
Friesen said: "As long as there is air conditioning, you can use air to make water. This is nothing mysterious. All we have to do is develop a solar panel that can make water instead of generating electricity."
What is the working principle of this solar panel? Think about why put some rice in the salt shaker. The rice grains absorb moisture and keep the salt dry. Zero-Quality Water developed a material that functions like grains that absorb moisture from the air. All that needs to be done is to extract water from this material and purify it.
"Source" will also add calcium and magnesium elements to reach the taste and pH of bottled water. A "source" system produces 5 litres of water per day and can meet the needs of four families.
The "Source" is entirely dependent on solar energy, so it can work away from the grid and centralized water supply facilities. This is a revolutionary technology comparable to solar panels and cell phones.
Friesen is a professor of engineering at Arizona State University. He developed the "source" system in the dry southwestern United States. The invention has already attracted the interest of some consumers in California and Arizona who want to replace bottled water with “sources.â€
For consumers in developing countries, the "source" will appear more valuable. About one-tenth of the world’s population lacks safe drinking water. Climate change may aggravate the seriousness of the problem and lead to more droughts in vulnerable areas. For poor and remote homes, a machine that can draw moisture from the air will become very practical.
Zero-quality water companies have installed "source" solar panels in the United States, Mexico, Jordan, and Ecuador.
