We know of solar panels, but have you heard of hydropanels? The concept is not too disparate from the revolutionary technology. In fact, hydropanels harvest sunlight to collect water from air — about five litres per day. Once it is stored in the reservoir, the condensed water vapour is filtered and mineralised with magnesium and calcium for drinking.

00:00So, this is a little bit different than collecting water vapor and basically commercializing it into water.
00:07This is a proprietary technology that collects sunlight and air and then through heat transforms it into water molecules
00:16and then we basically remineralize it.
00:18But you're right, the technology is quite expensive.
00:21And what we've been doing is waiting for the right technology and the right research and development
00:26so that we can generate the right quantities of water to be able to properly commercialize it into a product
00:34that can be sold and can be distributed to markets.
00:39As well as the right technology that can give us the right scale and the right amount of liters of water
00:44for us to be able to go to communities and help them properly.
00:47And this is the technology that's actually the only technology in the world that was able to solve it.
00:52That is completely off-grid.
00:54You have other technologies today that require a lot of power to take moisture from the atmosphere
01:01and turn it into basically water, which is water vapor into water.
01:04But they're not off-grid and they're not sustainable in the sense that they require a lot of electricity.
01:09But this one here is completely self-sufficient and it's completely off-grid.
01:14So once we place it in our factory, we never need to power it through electricity
01:19and we never need to maintain it.
01:21So it keeps on generating water, right?
01:23Just like the gift that keeps on giving.
01:25We're building a water farm, basically, from the sky.
01:28And we are breaking ground in the next few months.
01:32So I would say the first bottle that you're seeing here will hit retail shops by mid-next year.
01:41Because it takes some time to build the field.
01:44And then the field is going to be a museum.
01:45You can go visit the museum.
01:47You can take your kids, you can take your family for them to see what the future looks like.
01:51And then what we want them to do is really think about these things once they do new projects
01:56and once they do new endeavors.
01:58What I love about this is that it's not only still and sparkly,
02:02but it also gives us the option to do flavors, right?
02:05Proper flavors, good-tasting flavors with minerals.
02:08In the next two, three months, we will start building the water farm.
02:12It's a huge square meter area.
02:17So we will need to build it, perfect it, link it to our factory.
02:21And then the factory will start producing the bottles that you're seeing here.
02:25And then, obviously, what we call the pipeline filling and the fallout into retail will start happening.
