these rain water systems could even be used for emerging markets even as drinking water. rain water is easily purified, if necessary, using reverse osmosis or simple solar distillation.

i am working with the premier air to water manufacturer to produce the first commercially viable solar-powered machine to simply pull the water directly from thin air. this concept uses the same technology that your a/c systems use to remove heat from air. the byproduct of this process (removing heat from air) is water–why not put this yield to use in areas where water is difficult to come by?
