Eco Factor: Concept product produces water from moist air in a greenhouse.
Greenhouses are necessary, especially if you consider the decline in the amount of land that is available for irrigation and the growth in population. However, most greenhouses require an enormous amount of fresh water, which too is hard to come by. Naci Cenk Aytekin, a Turkish industrial product designer, has come up with a solution that could make greenhouses much greener.
Loop, as the product has been entitled, is a pot-shaped device that is made from aluminum. The aluminum leaves of the pot remain cool even in warm and moist conditions. This unique property of the material allows the pot to act as a condenser, and capture water molecules from moist air.
The tiny droplets of water are collected in the pot, which later finds their way back to the greenhouse through engraved canals on the aluminum leaves. This simple yet ingenious solution can reduce the amount of water utilized in a greenhouse and can make greenhouses an even better solution to end the food crisis.
