Featured After clouds helping evade radar theory, Modi comes up with another gem!

[Goenitz]

Water can be extracted (requires less energy). Oxygen cannot.
Oxygen extraction requires too much energy, which kills the purpose of electricity generation.

 

[I S I]

Science and these guys go parallelly.


These are projects Engineering students do. This one is built by BEL. And is pretty old technology.

nobody denied that this tech doesn't exist. this is a pretty old tech available worldwide already.
Modi chai wala was talking about wind turbines which could extract oxygen from the Air. what an Oxymoron.

 

[paritosh]

There are videos showing modi getting his foot in his mouth, this isn’t one of those. Those are all good ideas, whether they are feasible/viable or not right now can be checked and that’s why Modi’s question was. Extracting water from moisture is a very well known concept and so is extracting oxygen from water (electrolysis/hydrolysis).

 

[SecularNationalist]

Wind turbines only create energy until now .
But wait we can get water and oxygen from them ?
That Danish guy in the video was trying hard to hide it's smile and sarcastically said " my engineering team will be glad to work with you and I like your passion"

First I thought it’s funny, then I saw bhakt defending it and it became down right sad... or not!

Man oxygen is always present in the air then whats the bloody point of using turbines . This ignorance and stupidity reminds me of a school movie scene . So in real life indian politicians are the same ,that's why India is in such a sorry state

 

[SecularNationalist]

What an idiot, if ur taking oxygen from air and putting it back in air then whats the net advantage?

 

[Chhatrapati]

As I said water isn't a problem it has been in development for ages but Oxygen part is making us laugh

Water is also a problem, wind turbines have been used in water generation, but it wasn't economical. Similarly, Cryogenic Air Separation Unit (ASU) has been used to separate oxygen and nitrogen from the air. All these are employed ideas but are not commercially viable. There is nothing to mock and laugh about these. But hey, it's not like Modi invented the car that runs on water and his cabinet decide to fund it or paraded in the media as a new invention lol.

 

[TheSnakeEatingMarkhur]

You are a presumptuous idiot.

But I can bet most of you Pakistanis participating here..did not even know... atmosphere water can extracted from wind turbines that are designed to produce electricity.

What else can be expected of you indian andhbhakts jaha samjha k ab logic se kaam nai chale ga to abuse karna shuru..

And its not an innovative tech that modi is trying to get water out of atmosphere using Turbines... it has been in development for quite some time but whats funny is the Oxygen part as I mentioned before...

Btw lage raho apne nali se gas bnane wale Chaiwale PM ko defend karne me

Well even if he did there would have been many before him there is one in Pakistan aswell who claimed he made a car that runs on water...

But Modi has one achievement, nali se gas bnana, Gas se Chai or Chai pene walo ko Ch*tia or Ch*tiyo ko bhakt

 

[rott]

You are a presumptuous idiot.

But I can bet most of you Pakistanis participating here..did not even know... atmosphere water can extracted from wind turbines that are designed to produce electricity.

One Indian told me that 1kva is the same as 1kw.
If this is the education you get in India. God help you guys.

 

[Silverblaze]

Hindus love him and he is probably the most popular leader in Hindu India. As all of them approve of his hindutva policies. So, arguing over his intellect becomes irrelevant.

Wind turbines have long produced renewable energy but a French engineering firm has discovered another eco-purpose for the towering structures.

Eole Water claims to have successfully modified the traditional wind turbine design to create the WMS1000, an appliance that can manufacture drinking water from humid air.

The company aims to start rolling out the giant products for sale later in 2012, initially focusing on remote communities in arid countries where water resources are scarce.

“This technology could enable rural areas to become self-sufficient in terms of water supply,” says Thibault Janin, director of marketing at Eole Water.

“As the design and capabilities develop, the next step will be to create turbines that can provide water for small cities or areas with denser populations,” he adds.

Eole Water is currently displaying a working prototype of the 24 meter tall WMS1000 in the desert near Abu Dhabi that has been able to produce 62 liters of water an hour, says Janin.

He explains that the technology works by first generating electricity in the traditional manner of a wind turbine. This power enables the entire water generating system to function.

One turbine can produce up to 1,000 liters of water every day, depending on the level of humidity— Thibault Janin
The next stage sees air sucked in through the nose of the turbine via a device known as an “air blower”.

All air trapped during this procedure is then directed through an electric cooling compressor situated behind the propellers. This contraption extracts humidity from the air, creating moisture which is condensed and collected.

The water gathered at this stage is then transferred down a series of stainless steel pipes, which have been specially modified to aid the water production process, to a storage tank in the base of the turbine.

Once there, the water is filtered and purified before it is ready for use and consumption.

One turbine can produce up to 1,000 liters of water every day, depending on the level of humidity, temperature and wind speeds, says Janin.

“This is enough to provide water for a village or town of 2,000 to 3,000 people,” he adds.

Janin highlights isolated communities in Africa and South America as well as remote islands in Asia that have little or no access to safe drinking water as potential beneficiaries of the technology.

“If you think of Indonesia, it has (thousands of) islands and they cannot centralize their water supply … the geographic makeup of the country makes it impossible,” says Janin.

“This technique could enable them to overcome these problems and make the islands self-sufficient in a way that doesn’t harm the environment.”

But while enthusiastic about the potential of his company’s technology, Janin admits that the initial costs of the turbines could be prohibitive, especially for poorer towns or regions.

Just now it costs between €500,000 ($660,000) and €600,000 ($790,000) depending on the location and surrounding conditions to install just one Eole Water turbine.

As time progresses and as an industrial process is developed that enables the company to take advantage of economies of scale, this outlay is likely to fall, says Janin.

“We have just started the commercial aspect of this product but the price is not that expensive when you compare it with the long term solution that it gives,” he adds.

Narendra Modi’s idea of wind turbines for water impractical, say experts

Turbines convert wind energy into electricity; the blades are designed to actively keep moisture out

Turbines convert wind energy into electricity; the blades are designed to actively keep moisture out​

Can a wind turbine produce water out of thin air? Prime Minister Narendra Modi reckoned it is possible and requested Henrik Andersen, the CEO of Vesta Wind Systems, a Danish maker of wind turbines, if his organisation could develop the technology.​

Mr. Modi’s reasoning was that the spinning turbine would be able to “suck out moisture” from the air and condense it into water. He further theorised that a turbine could go on to “separate” oxygen from the air, and thereby could produce oxygen, power and clean water.​

Mr. Andersen said that Mr. Modi’s ideas conveyed “passion” that would keep his engineers “very busy”.​

The remark was picked up by former Congress president Rahul Gandhi as an example of how none among the PM’s advisers were bold enough to point out how mistaken he was.​

Experts that The Hindu reached out to said that moisture in turbines worked to the detriment of blades, and there were simpler alternatives to extracting water than from running a turbine.​

A turbine converts wind energy into electricity and its blades are designed to actively keep moisture out. There have been attempts to harness wind energy for making potable water but this involves using electricity as a power source to purify saline water.​

“Condensation is the enemy of the turbine,” said Amit Rambhia, managing director, Panache DigiLife Limited, a firm that works on technology applications. “A wind turbine at a coastal village, for instance, would benefit if there was a well to draw water from the ground, and have a turbine power a system to pump out or distil the water into fresh water.”​

In response to Mr. Gandhi’s comment, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and the head of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s IT cell Amit Malviya tweeted out articles to defend the PM’s conjecture and impugn Mr. Gandhi.​

One pointed to a 2012 article in CNN that described a French company, Eole Water, which claimed to have modified a wind turbine to manufacture drinking water from air. The company, according to the article, displayed a working prototype of the 24-metre tall modified turbine in the desert near Abu Dhabi that has been able to produce 62 litres of water an hour. Company officials then said that it would cost $600,000-$790,000 to install a single such turbine. A check on the company’s website revealed that the company has exited the turbine business. It said: “Eole Water was a water technology company that pioneered the use of wind turbines to produce drinking water. The brand is no longer operational however their legacy lives on through improvements in water technology.”​

An expert from a wind turbine manufacturing facility in Chennai told The Hindu on condition of anonymity that the PM’s suggestion is “implausible”. A turbine could be connected to a solar still — an old contraption used to distil water — to make it more efficient at distillation. The expert added, “Too much moisture would be corrosive, too little would make it inefficient for the purpose of trapping condensate. However, far more energy would be expended in extracting too little water. It’s a technology demonstrator but not something that can be realistically implemented anywhere.”​

And we have not even got to making Oxygen at the same time. ​

 

[ADIL SHERDIL]

So Modi tried to claim an idea which has already been completed by the French. Like most of the Indians he is doing what they are famous for stealing others ideas.
As far as oxygen is concerned if u extract oxygen from air then are they going to sell it to the people. What about bird animal and trees.
Modi g Sai ja rha ho. He is giving Rahul ghandi a proper chance to make himself as next suitable leader.

 

[Mechatron]

You didn't even know ...that even water could produced by wind turbines by channeling the incoming air into an air compressor.

His intellect, it seems is certainly greater than yours .

I do agree with you on this point.
extracting water from air is actually possible. Everyone can find articles on internet about atmospheric water generator which can extract water even from desert air then why not from air in the coastal areas ( which has high quantity of vapors)
Challenge here would be to design such an integrated system which would not effect the efficiency of Wind Turbines. If successful this might be a decent solution for solving fresh water related problems in coastal areas.
While getting Oxygen, might not be economically feasible, As it would be cheaper to install a separate system than completely redesigning a wind turbine to get oxygen separated for medical use.
