leaf by anurag sarda from india

Leaf is a concept which generates water out of thin air and solar power. The product is named as ‘Leaf’ since the mechanism of this product is inspired by the shape of a leaf. Entire structure is around 18 feet tall and easy to deal with. It works in the same way as dew drops are formed on natural leaves.

Basically, there are four major components in this equipment – solar panel, charge controller, lead acid battery and a thermoelectric module. All these parts work well in conjunction to create water. There is a huge metallic surface in the shape of a leaf on the top of this apparatus. Dew drops are formed by the process of condensation. The condensation process takes place when the aluminum plate cools down its temperature with the help of the thermoelectric module. The thermoelectric module gets power form the battery which is charged with the help of the attached solar panel. The water passing through the Sand filter gets purified and minerals get added to it. Further passes through carbon filter and the drops then get collected in the attached earthen pot which cools down the water. This entire system is hassle free and it does not require high maintenance. The filter needs to be cleaned time to time so that it does not get clogged with dirt and sand. Through this process, one unit can collect up to 20 liters of water per day when humidity is relatively high.
