ABSTRACT:
A system for condensation and collection of atmospheric water is provided made up of a system having an aperture pipe at the top for airflow, a condensation material providing condensation surfaces within the system; openings, ducts or other spaces for conducting a flow of moisture-containing air from outside the system where it comes into contact with the condensation surfaces; and a water tank containing water heated during the daytime by the sun or by another heat source near the top of the system in the aperture pipe for heating surrounding air from which the water has been removed by condensation on the condensation surface, so that air flows out of the system through the aperture pipe at the top, drawing moisture-laden air from outside into the system. Heat transfer tubes extend into the system to transfer heat from within the system to the outside atmosphere when the temperature outside is less than that inside the system so that the condensation surfaces and the air within the system cool, facilitating condensation. Condensed water is collected and removed for use without the requirement of further processing. No artificial energy source is required.
