Abstract -- The airborne
moisture collector consists of a thermodynamic reactor (1) driven by a
wind-powered motor which operates an inner cooling circuit. The same
circuit cools an evaporator (3) with forced air circulation, condensing
airborne water vapour entering the reactor by the suction effect of a
turbine (19), with the resulting water channelled away to a storage
tank (6) inside a supporting mast (23). The wind-powered motor and
cooling circuit form integral parts of the thermodynamic reactor, with
the cooling circuit compressor driven by the wind-powered rotor blades
(18). A separate energy source continues the cooling/condensing
operation when the wind-powered motor is inoperable.
