eolewaterFrench inventor Marc Parent has made the dream a reality. His company, Eolewater, located in Sainte Tulle in the high French Alps, has made a prototype that produces 70 to 200 liters of fresh water a day… from the air! The higher the “eolienne”, or wind turbine, the more water it can grab.

A 50-meter mast would produce an estimated 25,000 liters a day. For an article in French from the local newspaper, with a photo of Marc Parent:
