A water dispenser that can be used normally without receiving water and electricity
In the era of severe climate change, water shortage has always been a problem that human beings need to solve. According to UN statistics, 40% of the world's population lacks water, and the population that causes death due to pollution of drinking water is more than 1 million worldwide.
The use of sunlight and its ability to generate electricity and heat enables the present invention to capture moisture in the air and produce clean drinking water.
Metal organic frameworks (MOF), even in deserts with a humidity of only 20%, MOF can collect five to ten liters of water a day without any electricity.
Each solar panel has a circuit board that runs algorithms, so it can self-adjust to maximize the amount of water produced, producing an average of 50 liters of drinking water a day, and an underground storage space of up to 500 liters.
