I developed an innovative Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology based on the Peltier effect and Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC). The system provides a vital solution for water scarcity in isolated areas and emergency situations, operating independently of traditional infrastructure. The device has proven highly efficient; the first generation produced approximately 348 ml of water under optimal laboratory conditions. A significant breakthrough was achieved with the second generation: a compact, palm-sized device that consumes only 17W and can operate on batteries or a portable solar panel. With a production cost of approximately $0.103 per liter , the system offers an accessible, sustainable solution that demonstrates technological superiority in energy efficiency and water production relative to its size
This is how I came up with the idea for this project:I invented this technology during COVID-19 as global water resources dwindle. Addressing the climate-driven water crisis , this solution is vital for Israel, where one-third of the land is desert. The project advances UN SDG 6, ensuring sustainable water management for all by 2030.
