Source Global's technology consists of a renewable system to obtain water practically anywhere on the planet. Invented in 2014 by
Cody Friesen at Arizona State University in the U.S., the system is made up of a panel similar in appearance to a solar panel but different in that it produces water instead of energy.that trap the energy from the sun to run the device and make it independent of power grids. The energy generated is used to power fans that draw in ambient air and push it onto a water-absorbing material that traps the water vapor.
Trapped water vapor is then extracted and passively condensed, after which it is collected. Minerals are then added to ensure that the water tastes properly. Not only is the water obtained in a sustainable manner, a single hydro panel used by Source can replace 54,000Water production for everyone, everywhere
Source has already installed its panels at 450 project sites spread over 52 countries, and last year launched its own bottled water brand in Queensland, Australia. The company has now raised $150 million through venture capital firms like Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy, Black Rock, Duke Energy, and Lightsmith Group, CNBC said in its report.
