Scientists in Tunisia have created a seemingly magical new device to produce water out of thin air. Motivated by the devastating statistics surrounding the world’s access to drinkable water, the inventors at Kumulus devised a futuristic looking machine that can convert the air’s humidity to drinking water. The Kumulus-1 is a highly futuristic-looking – almost like something out of Wall-E – Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) that can produce between 20 to 30 litres of healthy drinking water per day. Designed by Zouhair Ben Jannet of Air Design Studio to be able to produce water in even the scarcest of areas of North Africa and the Middle East, the Kumulus machine essentially captures air, filters it, cools it and condenses it until it gathers in a water tank. Kumulus-1 is also a smart machine, which means it offers the option of mobile control through an app that ensures the water is delivered in a sustainable and economical way.

Wanasayansi nchini Tunisia wametengeneza kifaa kipya kinachoonekana kuwa cha kichawi cha kutengeneza maji kutoka hewani. Kwa sababu ya takwimu mbaya kuhusu upatikanaji wa maji ya kunywa duniani, wavumbuzi wa Kumulus walibuni mashine inayoonekana kama ya wakati ujao ambayo inaweza kubadilisha unyevu wa hewa kuwa maji ya kunywa. Kumulus-1 ni kiwanda cha kutengeneza maji ya hewa (AWG) ambacho kina uwezo wa kutengeneza lita 20 hadi 30 za maji ya kunywa kila siku. "Zohar Ben-Janet, mhandisi wa Air Design Studio, alisema: ""Kulingana na teknolojia ya kisasa, mashine ya kumulus inashikilia hewa, huifuta, huipunguza na kuifunga hadi itakapokusanyika katika tangi la maji." Kumulus-1 pia ni mashine ya smart, ambayo inamaanisha inatoa chaguo la udhibiti wa rununu kupitia programu ambayo inahakikisha maji yanatolewa kwa njia endelevu na ya kiuchumi. Chanzo: Design Indaba
