to find out how you can gain moisture from the air. During the search
he came across the Namib-black beetle, which it creates a
sophisticated way to survive in one of the driest regions in the
world. At one centimeter of precipitation each year, the beetles
survive only by consuming the rope, which is reflected in the early
morning hours on its hydrophilic skin.
"Airdrop" accepts this principle and is based on the fact that even
the driest air contains water molecules that can be extracted by
reducing the air temperature to the dew point. The system pumps air
through a network of underground pipes to cool the air down to the dew
point. The water goes directly to the roots of plants.
James Dyson said: "Biomimicry is a powerful weapon for the Engineer.
"Airdrop" shows a simple example of how natural principles such as the
condensation of water through intelligent design and robust technology
can be usefully applied. Young designers and engineers like Edward
develop a simple and effective technology for the future - they are
the most difficult problems in terms of creating targeted improvements
to the lives of many people. "
According to Edwards studies even in the driest deserts in every cubic
meter of air 11.5 ml of water are obtained. The further development of
its construction will expand the application range of the "Airdrop"
yet. He himself says: "With the price of £ 10,000 (approximately
11,600 €), I can develop and test the Airdrop System. The concept has
the potential to help farmers around the world and I accept the
challenge of realizing this idea. "Further £ 10,000 was allocated
Edwards School to encourage young engineers to follow in his
footsteps.
The James Dyson Award is awarded by the James Dyson Foundation,
dedicated to the promotion of development, technology and engineering
courses and the support of medical research foundations and local
community projects prescribed. The James Dyson Foundation works with
schools and colleges both in the UK and internationally.
