Turbine that converts humidity into potable water
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Technology
DUBAI: A wind turbine that captures humidity from the air and turns it into drinking water could be used in offshore developments.
A two-year test for the experimental device, developed by the French company Eole Water, will start in Dubai this year on an artificial island owned by the Emirates Marine Environmental Group (EMEG), in the Waterfront.
