This is a scam. Do not give this man your money.

Water condensers are *incredibly* energy inefficient because they’re basically just dehumidifiers with a filtration system attached.

A 75 watt dehumidifier produces around 1L of water per 24 hours in ideal (80%) humidity conditions.

Under emergency conditions, it’s recommend to have 4L of water on hand per person per day. This is the bare minimum.

For a 4 person household, that’s 16 x 75 watt dehumidifiers (or 1 x 1,200 watt dehumidifier), which would need to run for 24 hours and would consume 28,000 watt hours of electricity.

The average 4 person American household consumes around 30,000 watt hours of electricity per day. This system would effectively double your home’s electric bill, just to provide the bare minimum amount of water needed to survive.

To offset this with solar panels, which are 15% efficient, at best, and provide 150 watts per square meter, and receive around 3-5 hours of direct sunlight per day (depending on cloud cover and where you live)…. You’d need somewhere between 40 to 64 square meters of panels. Per house. Just for water generation.

Which only works when it’s humid.

And sunny.

This invention is cool, but it can’t beat the laws of physics.

Also note the classic hallmarks of an invention scam: news article video with no actual news company logo on the bottom, “retired” military veteran, demanding “investment”, “donation” or some other financial contribution to his life-saving device with no information on cost, how/where it’s manufactured, or discussion about how this “life saving” invention should actually be free or open source.
