Abstract

The progressing world have many problems and the demands of people are increasing day by day. The demand for electricity and pure water are mentionable among the very alarming issues. This paper describes the design of atmospheric water generator which is powered up by renewable sources of energy. To generate the power, we are producing electricity with application of solar panel, charge controller and lead acid battery to power up the atmospheric water generation system and along with that, piezoelectric elements mounted under tiles which lights up the digital voltmeter-ammeter display. The atmospheric water generation part consists of the Peltier effect of thermoelectric cooler associated with Heat sinks and a DC Fan. Both Hardware and Software designs are implemented for discussion. It includes comparative study of consumed power from the sources and the individual contribution of piezo elements and solar panel are verified. Moreover, the efficiency of methods concerning generating water with Peltier effect has been depicted through experiments.
