A novel device to produce drinking water from air exhibited in Qatar

A very unique device for producing 30 litres of pure drinking water from air in a day was showcased at a stall set up on the sidelines of the 6th Annual Arab Future Cities Summit 2017, which concluded on Tuesday, at the Ritz-Carlton, Doha.

“The device called Aquaria, which works through “Rain Tunnel Technology”, is expected to be available within a month in Qatar for about QR7,666,” Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, the inventor of the device and Chairman of organization de Scalene, a Bengaluru based Indian company, told The Peninsula.

“Our local partner in Qatar Top and Solutions will import and sell the device in the country. The device is very energy efficient and costs approximately one riyal for producing five litres of water.” 

“The product manufactured in India is available in various cities of India, Oman, South Africa and Singapore. Within a month it will be available in Qatar as our partner has already initiated the procedures to get the approval for importing the device," he said.

The device is a dispenser with option for hot, cold and normal water mounted on a metal box. Through Rain Tunnel Technology, the box got the condition suitable made for creating rain. "If you create rain you will get water and the device is based on this principle." 

Aquaria produces water from thin air, a new patented technology that creates rain inside the box. Aquaria works on the principle of creating clouds and seeding it with Hypersonic precipitation to form rain in a tunnel just like how it happens in nature. Now you can generate fresh, safe and purest form of drinking water at home without depending on any water source.

In 2007, a well-known Indian scientist and inventor, who owns many international patents, Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, accidently found that when water is subjected to sound waves in the range of millions of cycles per second, nano-sized water particles were produced and under certain condition of pressure, temperature and wind velocity, this nano-water can freeze at much higher temperature forming Nano-Ice Crystals. First, he tried to use this discovery to induce rain by vapour deposition with ground based cloud seeding, the experiment failed miserably.

But a new technology was born that he named it "The Rain Tunnel Technology" to create rain in a box with low energy. He thought that the rain in the box could be a source of drinking water some day for millions, who don't have drinking water.
