秘鲁新型“广告牌”

By Michelle Schuelke

The University of Engineering and Technology in Peru found a way to create water out of thin air.

“To build the first billboard that produces drinking water out of air. The billboard has a unique technology that captures the air humidity and turns it into drinking water.”

1）Atmospheric humidity is at 98% in Peru and the BBC reports “...internally， the panel consists of five devices that extract water vapour from the air using a condenser and filters. The internal system costs some US$1，200 to set up.”

NBC reports the billboard is a marketing campaign by Mayo DraftFCB to 2）amp up admission to UTECs engineering program.

UTEC devised the plan to show prospective students how to combine technology with helping the community. The panel is located in an area that is almost a desert， where some people have no access to clean water.

秘鲁的工程技术大学发明了一种能将空气变成饮用水的方法。

“建造出第一个能从空气中提炼出饮用水的广告牌。运用这种独特科技打造的广告牌能获取空气中的湿气将之转化成饮用水。”

秘鲁的空气湿度达到98%，BBC报道说“……在广告牌内部有五种仪器，通过冷凝和过滤装置，把水蒸气从空气中提取出来。装配整个内部系统得花1200美元。”

NBC报道说，广告牌是由

DraftFCB广告公司利马梅奥分部推出的一个市场宣传活动，目的是帮助秘鲁工程技术大学的工程学项目获得更多的生源。

工程技术大学策划这个方案是为了向潜在的学生展示如何运用科技来帮助社区。广告牌所在的地区几乎就是沙漠地带，那里的人们要获得干净的水非常艰难。

“As water supplies dwindle amid climate change， growing populations and food insecurity issues， the billboard in Lima is one of a host of many innovative solutions that have been developed.”

The billboard has already produced more than 9，450 liters of drinking water in three months. The billboards clean water is also helping with health and sanitation concerns in the area.

“诸如气候变化、人口膨胀以及食品安全问题，水资源也日益稀缺，利马的广告牌是众多已付诸实行的创意解决方案之一。”

在过去的三个月内，这个广告牌已经生产出9450升饮用水。广告牌生产的干净水也在很大程度上有助于解决该地区的健康和卫生问题。

空气“变”饮用水？浙商五年前已有类似产品

空气制水机？听说过，不新鲜了。事实上，五年前国内就有类似的产品，但并未实现推广。

“这个我们五年前就有了，还申请了国家发明专利，不过并没有批量生产。”宁波沁园集团董事长叶建荣说，空气制水机通过机内特设的装置抽取空气，并利用压缩机将空气冷凝、集聚成水，再对集聚起来的水进行机内净化处理，从而生产出可直接饮用的水。不过，沁园集团的空气制水机却没有得到推广。一开始他们看中军工市场，但由于成本过高并未成功，而普通家庭市场调研的结果是：没市场。“一度水需要六七块钱成本，而且国内空气质量不容乐观，普通的净水处理无法去除气味。”

技术？想法？都不缺。看来只是缺了“因地制宜”里那块“地”！
