Making Water From Air

空气制水机原理

Architects are often trained as generalists who think about problems globally. Leave it up to an architect and his team to come up with a smart solution to address a critical global water crisis – the severe lack of accessible and clean potable water throughout the world.

建筑师通常被训练成通才，从全局角度思考问题。让建筑师和他的团队想出一个聪明的解决方案来解决严重的全球水危机——世界各地严重缺乏可获得和清洁的饮用水。

Congratulations to architect David Hertz and inventor Rich Groden for winning the latest XPRIZE. What they have done is so cool. Their product, the Skywater machine, can change how people interact with water and access clean water, thereby changing their daily routines, reducing sanitary issues, and improving their health.

祝贺建筑师David Hertz和发明家Rich Groden赢得最新的XPRIZE。他们所做的太酷了。他们的产品，Skywater机器，可以改变人们与水的互动和获得清洁水的方式，从而改变他们的日常生活，减少卫生问题，改善他们的健康。

Recently during Visioneering 2018, XPRIZE’S annual gathering of philanthropists and innovators to evaluate concepts for future competitions, the Foundation announced the winners of the $1.75 million grand prize for the Water Abundance XPRIZE. The prize mission – fresh water for impact, seeks to create decentralized, affordable access to water with the use of 100 percent renewable energy, whenever and wherever people need it.

最近，在XPRIZE慈善家和创新者评估未来竞赛概念的年度聚会“远见2018”期间，基金会宣布了水资源丰富XPRIZE 175万美元大奖的获奖者。该奖项的使命是“以淡水为影响力”，旨在通过100%使用可再生能源，创造分散的、负担得起的用水渠道，随时随地满足人们的需求。

The two-year competition was powered by Tata and Australian Aid and launched in 2016 at the United Nations Day reception in New Delhi, India. It challenged innovators from 98 teams from 27 countries to alleviate the global water crisis by finding a sustainable and affordable way to harvest and bring potable water to those who do not have access to it. The specific challenge was to create a device that could extract a minimum of 2000 liters of water a day from the atmosphere using 100% renewable energy at a cost of no more than 2 cents per liter.

这项为期两年的竞赛由塔塔集团和澳大利亚援助协会赞助，并于2016年在印度新德里举行的联合国日招待会上启动。它向来自27个国家的98个团队的创新者提出挑战，要求他们找到一种可持续的、负担得起的方式来获取饮用水，并将其带给那些无法获得饮用水的人，从而缓解全球水危机。具体的挑战是创造一种设备，可以每天从大气中提取至少2000升水，使用100%的可再生能源，每升的成本不超过2美分。

Grand Prize Winner, California-based The Skysource / Skywater Alliance, led by architect David Hertz and inventor Rich Groden, took home $1.5 million. The team consists of professionals in the field of architecture, engineering, construction, and clean, and renewable energy solutions. It developed an easily deployable high-volume water generator that can be used in any climatic condition while solving multiple problems simultaneously, with a resultant low embodied energy, net positive, and carbon negative solution. Its atmospheric water generator, also known as the the Skywater machine, condenses moisture in the atmosphere, filters the moisture, which then becomes fresh drinking water.

由建筑师大卫·赫兹和发明家里奇·格罗登领导的加州天空之源/天空之水联盟获得了150万美元的大奖。该团队由建筑、工程、建筑、清洁和可再生能源解决方案领域的专业人士组成。它开发了一种易于部署的大容量水机，可以在任何气候条件下使用，同时解决多个问题，从而实现低能耗、净正、负碳的解决方案。它的大气水发生器，也被称为天空水机，凝结大气中的水分，过滤水分，然后变成新鲜的饮用水。

Runner-up, Hawaii-based JMCC WING led by James McCanney, took home $150,000. The McCanney WING Generator, is a high torque, low cost wind energy system which is used to power the JMCC WING, an atmospheric water generator.

亚军是詹姆斯·麦卡尼领导的夏威夷JMCC WING，获得了15万美元。McCanney WING发电机是一种高扭矩、低成本的风能系统，用于为JMCC WING提供动力，这是一种大气水发生器。

We need to help spread the word, give them our support so that they can succeed in pushing out their technologies globally. Thank you to the XPRIZE Foundation for putting this competition out there to incentivize us to take action in changing the world and address this critical crisis.

我们需要帮助传播信息，向他们提供我们的支持，以便他们能够成功地在全球推广他们的技术。感谢XPRIZE基金会举办这次竞赛，激励我们采取行动改变世界，解决这一重大危机。
