Finally a great device to extract water from air via just wind energy.

Hopefully this will also be scalled down so it gets cheaper for
smaller sizes and personal usages.

yes, scale it down. i posted it because the principles are simple. this is easy to do for anyone with mechanical skills.

If one electrolyses the water, then one has sort of the unique
equation "wind energy in -> hydrogen fuel out". No material
input required. If one needs a minute amount of hydrogen
like Rossi/Defkalion it might make some sense to do this.

Or make liquid hydrogen-peroxide HOOH. It's
wind energy plus plastic bottles and labels in ->
saleable product out.

good ideas mark. personally i wasn't thinking about making a secondary product or a profit, i was thinking of personal use. when you can create your own water, power and food, you create your own politics...
