It’s about to get cold up here in the high desert wasteland. 🥶 Waste heat is never really wasted here. Even in the summer waste heat is used to passively generate water. 💧

Water farming can be a lucrative business however, most atmospheric water generators are very power hungry. ⚡️We are working on a grant proposal to have a 100kW solar and battery system installed on the farm along with an AWG. 🏖️ We have been in discussions with an AWG manufacturer for about a year and they told us the trick to water recovery in the desert is to put your AWG in the middle of your crops. 🌱Plants breathe, they collect moisture, they lose moisture, dew forms on their leaves, etc. Run the AWG only at night and during the early morning/evening hours, shut down during the day and charge the batteries. 🪫

Now if I can just get a permit to dig out a Tattooine style underground “Earthship” home to escape the high desert sun, which at over a mile altitude, is pretty danged scorchy. ☀️
