Using energy of sea waves to get fresh water out of the air

Abstract: The paper presents a new engineering solution aimed to extract fresh water from humid sea air in the coastal regions of the planet, where water resources are scare. The extraction of fresh water is carried out through condensing moisture from compressed atmospheric air. The actuator of the plant to extract fresh water from air is made with the use of the renewable energy of sea waves. The calculations carried out in accordance with the method developed by the authors and the results enable one to speak of the technology of fresh water extraction from the compressed humid sea air without any extra costs of external energy as a promising one.

Key words: energy of wave, condensation, fresh water, water-yielding capacity, water stress, pneumatic energy.
