Unique Rainwater Harvesting Solutions
PHYSICS
A drop of water is made up of a hydrogen atom, an oxygen atom, and on the other side of the oxygen atom, another hydrogen atom, with the result being that the oxygen side has a slightly negative charge and the side with the hydrogen atoms has a slight positive charge. When the positive side of the water molecule comes near the negative side of another water molecule, they attract each other and form a bond. This is called cohesion. Like a magnet, water will pull together. Thus, water is cohesive and adhesive.
COMPONENTS
Magnified and non-magnified mirrors
Electromagnetic waves
Water
Compass
PROCESS
The electromagnetic radiation and the magnified and non-magnified mirrors are utilized to angle the radiant energy back into the atmosphere, in conjunction with the body of water used. The electromagnetic radiation from the mirrors becomes more focused with the light spectrum filtered to blue light. At a pre-determined distance in the atmosphere, the blue light scatters causing a stimulation of atmospheric processes where water molecules group together, thus creating a pull – water draws water.
To draw in a precipitation event to a targeted area, the process is conducted for a length of time each day for four to seven days consecutively. In addition to the components used, other important elements considered are humidity levels, time of day, intensity of the sun, true north and mirror angles in relation to the curvature of the earth.
OUTCOME
A harvested precipitation event will occur from the operation in the 4 to 7 day timeframe.
