Chilean Startup Creates A System That Can Generate Ten Thousand Liters Of Water Per Month From Air And Solar Energy

The Chilean startup that created the system for solar energy focuses on the installation and development of renewable energies, operating in five countries in the region. In 2019, they took a new step and developed a new water source addressing water scarcity. In 2016, brothers Andrés and Horacio Vásquez, along with Catalina Kissling, founded the startup Lader Energy with the goal of combating climate change.

After searching for various ways to produce water with no water or carbon footprint, the Chilean startup created a system in the United States. This year, with an investment of US$ 250 thousand, they developed their own technology “AWA” and built an aerial water station in San Fernando, in the O’Higgins region.

Andrés Vásquez, Business Director of Lader Energy, states that the plant has 62 hydropanels that combine photovoltaic solar energy with thermal solar energy. Some fans absorb moisture from the air, the water particles in the humidity condense and thus potable water is generated. It is then mineralized with calcium and magnesium and goes through UV filtration and activated carbon processes.

Other Goals Of The Chilean Startup

The creators of the system that uses solar energy to generate water intend to sell water directly to communities. The project has already been presented to most authorities, General Water Directorate (DGA), Seremi de Salud, and municipalities, and the company is in negotiations, according to Horacio Vásquez, CEO of the startup.

In parallel, they have already communicated with local merchants, supermarkets, and companies that intend to join the system. The CEO hints that there are plans to open new factories in the north and south. Meanwhile, in Colombia, they are already starting everything to enter later this year, near Medellin.

Other Goals Of The Chilean Startup

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

BYD officially enters the semiconductor race by launching the Xuanji A3, a self-developed chip in China that reinforces the technological verticalization strategy and can reduce costs in millions of smart vehicles.

While SpaceX lands rockets as a routine, Spain wants to enter orbit with its own recoverable microlauncher; the Miura 5 emerged from a Spanish startup, gained a complex in Kourou, and aims to transform small satellites into a sovereign European market.

India tested the Agni-5 capable of carrying multiple independent warheads and, in the same round, conducted the first firing of a scramjet engine, joining a group that only the United States, Russia, and China were part of.

Canada is preparing a billion-dollar megaproject with 3.5 GW of wind energy, up to 530 turbines, green hydrogen, and ammonia for export, in a bid that could place the country at the center of the new global race for clean fuels.
