Unlimited, pure, renewable water from the air you breathe

http://www.ecoloblue.com/images/homeoffice.jpgThe cost effectiveness of an atmospheric water generator depends on the capacity of the machine as well as on the humidity and temperature conditions. The EcoloBlue� model 28 is powered by electricity.

The home/office market is our main target for the EcoloBlue� 28. It can produce up to 7 gallons or 28 liters per day in a 24-hour period. This machine produces at an average rate of $0.20 cents per gallon or per 4 litters (considering an average US electrical rate). The EcoloBlue� 28 is an extremely versatile product, which can be used in many other service industries such as Spas, Sports Clubs, Hotels, Airport lounges, or commercial stores, to name a few possible implementations.
Liters to US Gallons (Liquid): A US capacity measure equal to 4 quarts or 3.785 liters.
Liters to UK Gallons: A British imperial capacity measure (liquid or dry) equal to 4 quarts or 4.545 liters.

Nice...just need to duct tape that baby on top of the water filter and you're good to go!

That is a great idea Reality check. I think I will get a dehumidifier since I already have a good filter.

Then the roof rain collected can go on the garden, it being messier as to bird droppings, etc, and maybe subject to government intervention. (Though I really doubt attempts to own rain will hold up well anywhere on the planet, in hard times.)

I have been waiting for solar to improve to get more than a battery charger, but maybe I should get a few panels now so the dehumidifier and the fridge and freezer could run. Not opened when the sun is not shining I think the fridge and freezer would do ok without battery banks. So I might get a starter set up and wait for better tech for full house use.
