Five-Tunnel Inclined-Solar-Chimney Atmospheric Water Generator (5T-ISC-AWG)

Summary

Disclosed as open prior art, the concept is a passive water-harvesting plant: moist sea air flows through five tunnels bored side by side into rock, whose low temperature makes vapour condense, then leaves via a sloped solar chimney built against a ridge. Projected output is about 0.8 million litres daily in cool temperate regions, rising to nearly 2 million at tropical sites.
