To encourage university students to develop creative solutions to of the most serious effects of climate change – drought – the SunGlacier team organized a challenge for them to harvest water from air. With an inexpensive Peltier cooler  that is found in all types of laptop computers, the students were tasked with maximizing the amount […]

Next to our new Droppler technology, we have still high expectations about harvesting water from air using cheap Peltier devices. Several international university teams will be present in Oman to battle for the SunGlacier Challenge. (March 2018) All student teams use an equal 250 Watt solar panel to produce water from air with a Peltier device. Photo: Ap Verheggen presents the Peltier Technology

Last week we performed some very succesful tests in a climate room of the Dutch Ministry of Defense. We copied world’s most extreme climates and did research at the performance of our new machines. We smashed the limits of conventional technology. Soon more.      

Need for water: Climate change is forcing new thought on innovations in facing drier conditions in vast areas of the globe. Scientists can’t yet determine the outcome of our planet’s climate, so we only can respond to what we see now to help us and future generations survive. What we are: This is the world’s

Yesterday I had the honour to lunch with Mr. Kofi Annan during the Making Waves event. We discussed the latest inventions of SunGlacier and what it can mean for the future of this planet. After a great introduction of General Middendorp (chief of Dutch Defense), I presented the project updates to the audience.

Sunshine, gravity and air – three natural things that are free to everyone. We are applying these elements to their maximum potential (together in a unique way) to contribute to the solution of the earth’s main problem: fresh, clean water availability A project of waterfalls to help fill world water supplies. How it works: We use a bit

The Dutch Ministry of Defense invited the SunGlacier team to Mali, where we are able to test our idea – making water out of thin air – in the middle of the Sahara desert, the driest, hottest place on earth. It was a success! With our SunGlacier project, we demonstrate that it is possible to
