Vision - Africa’s decentralized water provider

Mission - Giving everyone water independence

Product -

1. Atmospheric moisture harvesting - super hygroscopic polymer films or LiCl-based hygroscopic composite (Li-SHC) sorbents (salt-based). Sorption, treatment and storage. Open source research - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-30505-2
2. Rain harvesting - Catchment, treatment and storage

Possible use-case

• Bathroom mirror, that sticks out about 20cm, and has the polymer on top and sides, mirror front,  and then drip and warming strip behind, water flows down to a faucet that either is over the sink or attached to toilet. Similarly wall or ceiling panels for bathrooms or kitchens

• Drinking water dispenser

• Different sized, floor standing, mains connected, external units for home -> large estates - containers with polymer and treatment,

• External, wall-mounted ‘Aquawalls’ - similar design and profile to Tesla Powerwall. Possibly open up when it rains to catch more water. Possibly connect direct to guttering above on the roof.

• Rain catchment via semi-porous roof sheeting - building codes would allow +/- 10cm of depth of water weight which would be equal to 9litres per cubic foot / 30 cm cubed.

• Open sourced units for plugging into existing plumbing through distribution channels like building merchants and developers.

• Large attic units that sit next to existing hot water tanks and fill them.

• Desktop drinking water
