The Indian army is poised to add another
hi-tech device in it's arsenal. |
| 00:00:14 |
00:00:16 |
But this time, it's not
a weapon for war. |
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:18 |
Rather, it's quite
the opposite. |
| 00:00:21 |
00:00:25 |
Meet the AW1000 M,
a machine which generates 1,000 liters |
| 00:00:25 |
00:00:27 |
of clean water from
just air. |
| 00:00:28 |
00:00:30 |
That's right. No strings,
wires or bytes attached. |
| 00:00:31 |
00:00:35 |
Well, almost. It's far up options include
solar panels, generators, |
| 00:00:36 |
00:00:37 |
or AC power supply. |
| 00:00:38 |
00:00:42 |
This $75,000 bailey can also be
towed by multiple light vehicles. |
| 00:00:42 |
00:00:45 |
It has a wash area equipped
with two wash basins, |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:49 |
a shower cubicle, and urinals equipped
with a new flushing technology. |
| 00:00:50 |
00:00:53 |
If you're eating right now, I'm really sorry
for mentioning the whole urinal thing. |
| 00:00:53 |
00:00:55 |
It goes with the
product description. |
| 00:00:56 |
00:00:59 |
Well, as they say in the army,
let's get down to the plastics, shall we? |
| 00:01:00 |
00:01:02 |
Here's the technical head of
Air Water Corporation |
| 00:01:02 |
00:01:03 |
explaining the mechanism. |
| 00:01:04 |
00:01:09 |
Actually, the technology is based
on the well-known refrigeration cycle. |
| 00:01:09 |
00:01:14 |
We have an outside unit
and inside unit together, |
| 00:01:14 |
00:01:19 |
in one packaged unit.
And we have two coils, |
| 00:01:19 |
00:01:22 |
the cold coil and the hot coil |
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:24 |
that are blocked one with
each other. |
| 00:01:25 |
00:01:30 |
So, the air enters, first of all,
in the cold coil, |
| 00:01:30 |
00:01:33 |
and the water is
condensed there, |
| 00:01:34 |
00:01:36 |
and drops to the
special drain pane. |
| 00:01:36 |
00:01:39 |
And from this drain pane |
| 00:01:39 |
00:01:43 |
through the special pump
to the water storage tank. |
| 00:01:43 |
00:01:46 |
About 300 of these machines are scheduled
to be delivered to the Indian army. |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:49 |
So, the next time
you leave your tap on, |
| 00:01:49 |
00:01:51 |
remember, don't feel guilty. |
| 00:01:52 |
00:01:54 |
There's plenty of water around
for everyone. |
| 00:01:55 |
00:01:56 |
Just kidding.
Conserve water. |
| 00:01:57 |
00:01:59 |
See?
(...) |
| 00:01:59 |
00:02:02 |
Well, from Mumbai,
