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.
