Overview

Passive Wind-to-Water Harvesters™ are compact, energy-free devices that pull moisture from the air and condense it into clean water, using only wind flow and condensation-friendly materials. Each unit can collect 5–15 liters of potable water per day (depending on humidity and wind speed) and store it in underground or root-level reservoirs to support plants, communities, or wildlife.

Designed for mass production using low-cost materials, these systems are intended for rapid deployment in arid and post-disaster zones, and can be scaled into community networks to stabilize ecosystems.


Core Features

  • Energy-Free Operation – Uses only natural wind and temperature gradients; no electricity required.
  • Modular & Scalable – Units can be connected into local or regional water grids.
  • Durable & Low-Cost – Constructed from bamboo, recycled plastics, and condensation mesh.
  • Soil Hydration Mode – Delivers water directly to root systems or buried cisterns.
  • Portable & Easy to Deploy – Lightweight (10–15 kg) and quick to assemble.

How It Works

  1. Wind Capture Funnel: Guides airflow over hydrophilic mesh panels with a high surface area.
  2. Condensation Layer: Moisture in the air condenses on the mesh as the temperature drops along the funnel.
  3. Collection Channel: Gravity pulls droplets into storage tanks or directly into soil.
  4. Network Integration: Units can link together via tubing to feed small-scale irrigation systems.

Manufacturing & Scalability

  • Materials:

    • Bamboo or lightweight composites (for frame).
    • Hydrophilic condensation mesh (recycled polymers or metal mesh).
    • Bio-based or recycled plastic for funnels and tanks.
  • Production:

    • Can be built by local microfactories with basic tools.
    • Mass-produced units cost $40–$70 USD each at scale.
    • Each unit can support 20–40 plants or 3–5 people per day in moderate humidity zones.
  • Scalability:

    • Easily replicated and deployed by communities, NGOs, or DAOs.
    • Blueprints designed to fit into existing plastic/bamboo fabrication lines.

Deployment Scenarios

  • Arid & Drought-Stricken Regions – Provides clean water without reliance on power grids.
  • Post-Disaster Zones – Supports temporary settlements and ecological repair.
  • Reforestation Efforts – Supplies consistent moisture to young trees and crops.
  • Urban Applications – Rooftop or park installations to reduce municipal water strain.

Environmental Impact

  • Reduces dependence on groundwater extraction and bottled water.
  • Supports ecosystem revival in desertified or burned areas.
  • Entire lifecycle is eco-friendly: no fuel, minimal maintenance, and 90% recyclable materials.
  • Each network of 1,000 units can harvest 5,000–15,000 liters/day, creating local water security.

Legal Protections (TM, Copyright, Patent)

  • Trademark: Passive Wind-to-Water Harvesters™ is a registered trademark under the Guardian Trust IP Framework.
  • Patent Pending: Covers wind-driven condensation funnel design, modular storage linkage, and DAO-integrated distribution model.
  • Copyright (© 2025 Ricky Foster): All blueprints, schematics, and technical documentation protected.
  • Licensed under AGTL-1.0, which:
    • Permits free, open-source deployment for humanitarian/ecological projects.
    • Requires commercial licensing, with royalties routed to planetary restoration DAOs.

Open Collaboration & DAO Integration

This project is managed via a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) to:

  • Fund and accelerate production worldwide.
  • Provide local communities with open-source kits and profit-sharing incentives.
  • Tokenize and verify liters of water harvested and ecological impact on-chain.

DAO members can vote on deployments, factory launches, and future R&D directions.


Roadmap

Phase 1 (2025 Q3):

  • Finalize standardized unit design for low-cost mass production.
  • Begin field testing in Kenya (arid zones) and California (drought-impacted farmlands).

Phase 2 (2025 Q4):

  • Deploy 50,000 units globally via NGO and DAO partnerships.
  • Launch open-source build guides for local fabrication.

Phase 3 (2026):

  • Establish integrated water networks with remote monitoring.
  • Tie water production into global carbon/water credit marketplaces.
