Water from air without energy

Sponsh wrote: The united nations expect that within 30 years, half the world’s population will experience water stress. However, nature has learned over millions of years how to survive in dry, coastal areas: they retrieve their water from air. So we thought: why don’t we do that. . Inspired by nature, we developed technology that produces water from air, using a smart, temperature-sensitive textile. During the night, when temperature are low, the textile absorbs large amounts of water from air. During the day, as temperatures rise, the fibres in the textile contract and release all the water. That way, driven by the natural temperature cycles of day and night, this textile can produce abundant water for irrigation and drinking water. ... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Solar powered water distribution

Spowdi® is a solar powered water distribution system that can replace traditional diesel using the energy of one solar panel. The portable irrigation and drinking water supply system also reduces water consumption in irrigation by 80% and has a low energy consumption. Using a drip irrigation system also results in reduced extracted water volume/hour, allowing a more stable extraction from groundwater sources. With few parts in one system, the line of products are easy to use and to apply in different situations.

SpringUp

SpringUp wrote: What is the main idea?. We implemented a webapp, which allows a community-driven and internationally scalable method of collecting data for blooming trees. Our goal is to collect as many images of blooming trees as possible to provide a more detailed analysis of the effects of climate change on phenology. How does it work?. A user is challenged to take a picture of a blooming tree in their community. We predict blooming species of trees on a local level based on historical data. When the user uploads an image of a blooming tree, our machine learning model analyzes the picture to classify if the tree is the correct species and if it is in fact blooming. Once verified, the user is eligible for prizes (e. G... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

SR BIN wrote: From plastic, polythene to metal and even paper the fmcg sector produces far more packaging than is currently being recycled. Due to complex layering, recyclers are limited in their capacity to recycle while consumers fail to support recycling due to lack of infrastructure. Encore offers both the technology, tools and software to connect all these players and bring them on to a common stage by giving packaging waste a new face technology that converts it back to pack, bottle or can. We offer the technology as well as tools such as intelligent waste collection bins and software for brands and recyclers to re-calibrate their current manufacturing process to convert waste back into standardized raw materials...

Small scale low head vortex hydro power

In order to provide off-grid locations with stable electric power, Stallion Vortex has developed a small-scale hydropower plant. The solution utilizes the principle of creating a vortex to extract energy from water streams. It can operate with a high efficiency with a height difference of the water stream of 5 meter, making it viable in many locations with limited access to larger sources of water. According to the company, their product requires minimal maintenance after installation, and it require little to no manual control to function to its full potential.
