This GENius machine generates Water from thin air

Water, A vital nutrient, yet one that is inaccessible to many worldwide.
The World Health Organization reports that 780 million people don't have access to clean water, and 3.4 million die each year due to water-borne diseases. But an Israeli company thinks it can play a part in alleviating the crisis by producing drinking water from thin air.
Israeli company Water-Gen has developed a device for extracting drinking water from air. It's already being used by the military, but Water-Gen says its future is in civilian uses.


“The clean air enters our GENius heat exchanger system where it is dehumidified, the water is

before rotation

The idea was used back in 1968 to construct the Kingsgate Bridge, across the River Wear in Durham, when they built the two halves of the bridge on the river’s bank then swung them 90 degrees into place.
