BEL makes water appear out of thin air for soldiers


Team Udayavani, Feb 24, 2019, 6:39 AM IST

Bengaluru: Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) has come up with a technology for extracting water from the atmosphere and plans to soon deliver it to the army. Aas water is hard to come by for soldiers protecting the country’s borders in hilly terrain.

BEL’s Atmospheric water generator which has been displayed at Aero India, 2019, uses the moisture content in the air to produce water. 

This machine uses a heat exchanger for condensing the moisture present in the air. The more the moisture content in the atmosphere, the more quickly the machine converts it into the water, informed BEL scientist associated with the project.

The scientist further added that this machine has been designed for the armed forces can produce 1,000 litres of water a day and costs around Rs 9 lakh, with a litre of water costing Rs 1.70. Once it starts producing it commercially, they will be expected to reduce the cost. The machine can even be mounted on mobile vehicles and customised to produce any quantity of water needed.

The machine even has a mineralisation unit, which measures the amount of minerals a human body needs and adds the required quantity to the water.
