The Egyptian National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) has revealed a purely national innovation that represents a qualitative leap in the field of water security.
One of the center's researchers succeeded in designing and manufacturing an advanced device to produce drinking water directly from atmospheric humidity with high efficiency.
The innovation was granted patent number (31159) from the Egyptian Patent Office of the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology. It is the result of research efforts led by Dr. Mohamed Yahya Al-Imam Hilali, a researcher at the Space Research Laboratory of the Institute, with the aim of providing a practical and decentralized solution to address the challenges of water scarcity.
The device utilizes advanced technology to extract moisture from the air and convert it into pure drinking water, while also providing both hot and cold water simultaneously. Its production capacity reaches 15 liters per day, and its efficiency increases significantly in areas with high humidity. It features a compact design for easy use in homes, fields, and remote locations.
This innovation is a new addition to the record of achievements of the National Research Institute of Astronomy and contributes directly to supporting the goals of Egypt’s Vision 2030 aimed at localizing green technology and enhancing water security.
