ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device that can obtain fresh water from fog. The fog water collecting device comprises a vertical shaft, windmill elements for producing rotational force from wind, a cylindrical rotating structure supported so as to rotate about the vertical shaft, a water collecting vessel secured at the bottom of this rotating structure, a plurality of flexible rods one end of each is fixed at the upper portion of the rotating structure and the other end of each is directed toward the water collecting vessel and, a receiving conduit for obtaining water collected in the water collecting vessel. When the rotating structure turns from fog containing wind, water droplets sequentially adhere and accumulate on the flexible rods, then collect in the water collecting vessel, and are subsequently directed toward an external destination via the conduit.
