00:00This man designed a machine that produces drinking water from the air.
00:03The principle is simple, the machine sucks the air from the environment and cools it,
00:06imitating the operation of a refrigerator.
00:08This process condenses the humidity contained in the air into droplets,
00:10which are then collected in a reservoir.
00:12It's like recreating a small cloud of rain inside the machine.
00:15According to Mos West, the founder, his machine can be powered by solar energy,
00:18hydraulic panels or other energy sources.
00:20Still according to him, it would be able to generate up to 8,300 liters of drinking water per day,
00:25and he plans to considerably increase this capacity in the future.
00:27His non-profit foundation collects donations to finance the construction of these machines,
00:31which he then delivers to the communities in need.
00:33He says he has already delivered to Puerto Rico, Flint in Michigan, and Sandbranch in Texas.
00:37Currently, he has declared that the foundation is trying to bring clean water to the Chicago Community Urban Garden
00:42to help reduce the city's food deserts.
00:44This innovation answers a major global problem.
00:46According to a report by the United Nations,
00:48more than one in four people in the world have no access to drinking water.
00:51Regions such as the Sahel and some parts of Australia and the United States,
00:54especially California, experience recurring and prolonged droughts.
00:57Solutions such as those developed by Mos West offer a concrete hope for a more equitable and sustainable future.
