The Klimatec Base 1 AirWater Machine is a self-regulated water cooler capable of extorting water from the air.

Within 24 hours, it can extract 20 liters of water and is solar powered feature enable to plug in a refrigerator with it for ultra-coldness. Now you must be wondering how it works. The Base 1 AirWater Machine captures all the moisture present in the atmosphere via its refrigeration procedure to compress the dampness from air.
Then air-driven blowers are inserted into the mechanism via an electro static filter. Cooled spirals positioned in the trail of air provide a temperature discrepancy among the air and the coil shell resulting in compression that is channeled into a holding tank integrated with a level switch capable of monitoring the water production cycle.
Water then flows through a vigorous carbon sieve to eliminate solids, oxygenates and to eradicate any whiff. Then it finally passes through a UV light chamber to purge any left-over bacterial content. And then unadulterated drinking hot and cold water is then provided via the dispenser.
