FIELD OF THE INVENTION.- In agriculture and human consumption, in dry areas, 5 desert or little rainy.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE.- The industrial advance and the increasing increase of the population, has caused the increase of the C02, the loss of part of the ozone layer and with it the global warming and multiple and destabilizing consequences, reducing the rains and the water in general In addition to that due to desert areas. The current solutions 10 are desalination plants, which are expensive.c also produced water, 1 m3 of water from a desalination plant costs $ 60, while the same cubic meter of water obtained from cloud seeding costs $ 1. The water from desalination plants, in addition to not being sufficient, is not of quality because it is devoid of salts. With the present invention rain or snow water can be obtained which is of better quality and of low cost.

15 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Object of the invention and advantages.

Provide a simple, high-performance, economical and practical system capable of producing large quantities of quality water in dry areas or in times of drought.

Provide a system with little maintenance, which does not pollute, which produces water 20 using economic materials and alternative energy.

Being able to obtain water in desert areas, considerably increasing vegetation and thereby protecting the environment and avoiding climate change.

Problem to solve.

The lack of water or its reduction due to climatic changes and the 25 increase in population and industry.

The condensation system of atmospheric water vapor,

using cold air from elevated areas through the use of ducts, hoses or chimneys, consists of using ducts, hoses or chimneys through which cold air is sent from elevated areas and applied in low areas to atmospheric air,

preferably wet, by means of multi-plate coils or radiators, which are cooled and applied the cold to the water vapor which condenses when the temperature drops below the dew point. The displacement of the air is carried out with renewable energies.

The system is similar to that of the formation of clouds in nature, but instead of ascending the humid air to the elevated cold zones, what is done is to lower the cold air of these elevated areas, through ducts, hoses or chimneys, to humid air areas, where it condenses when the dew point temperature drops, and is stored in containers, rafts or reservoirs. The cold is applied through a conduit to multiple plates whose surface contacts the mentioned humid air.

An alternative may be to send humid air to elevated areas with ducts, hoses, chimneys, etc., but if this is done in the atmosphere even if water is produced, it is lost or spread by not being concentrated, or collected as It is done with the present system.

The system is equivalent to what would be produced by building artificial mountains but this is much more economical and useful.

The ducts, hoses or chimneys can run along the slopes of the mountains or can be raised by applying pressure to a parallel duct, using injectors or suction elements, balloons, drones, etc.

Unlike other water systems such as cloud seeding, in this case you should not use harmful products such as silver iodide, dry ice, propane, or rockets or airplanes in which crew members are exposed to very dangerous atmospheric weather phenomena. Such planting is not very effective or safe and can produce the unwanted fall of hail.

Desalination is a process that requires 10 times more energy than surface freshwater treatment.

In China, about 50,000 million cubic meters of rain are produced every year by unnatural means. They announced that they intend to achieve more than 60,000 million cubic meters of additional water each year by 2020.

In the formation of clouds, silver iodide, dry ice, propane, dust (obtained from pulverized sand), talc and common salt and other chlorides, iodides are used.

Silver iodide can cause temporary disability or possible residual damage to humans and mammals, with intense or continuous exposure, but not chronic damage. However, there have been several detailed ecological studies that showed an insignificant impact on the environment and health. However, if you want to use it continuously, it can be counterproductive. Preferably use other products.

Both the hoses and the balloons carry flashing LED lights to warn of their situation, which are electrically powered from the ground by renewable energy with cables attached to the hoses. Balloons filled with helium can support the upper end or middle areas of the hoses. In the lower zone the static current can be discharged to ground. The material of the hoses can also be a current conductor. To this end, fibers or metallic filaments are added to the fibers or some metal wires are interwoven when braiding the hose.

The lower end of the hose is coupled to a pump or turbine compressor, the hose is raised and erect: a) By a parallel pressurized conduit attached to the hose, b) By some side injectors that send the flow of air or gas down , c) By balloons attached to the upper end of the hose, od) By drones that are also used to stabilize, direct and direct the upper end of the hose.

The hoses can carry an outer cover and between it and the hose a chamber is created through which cold air is sent that prevents the cold air from descending from heating before it is received. Both cameras can be thermally insulated.

All ducts, hoses and chimneys, especially those that run along the mountainside, can have shielded elements spaced several meters apart, consisting of arches, frames, or posts that provide it as a cross-sectional shape of a segment, triangle, rectangle, etc. Another variant consists in the construction of these by means of a fabric or canvas supported between three cables. In the case of being the hillside it would be enough with a cable. All of them use the elements that prevent their deformation or folding.

Ducts, hoses or chimneys that run along the slopes of the mountains can add the upper end projected upwards to reach greater

altitudes Resulting a mixed system.

Side injectors can act simultaneously as erectors or hose lifts. The external chamber can be pressurized and provide stiffness. The hoses are fastened laterally with cables or winds fixed to the ground.

5 The hoses are grounded with a cable to discharge static current.

Compressors, turbines or pumps and other electrical installations are fed primarily with alternative energies.

It is interesting that the area where the cold is applied has a high relative humidity, this is achieved using areas adjacent to the sea, lake, river, etc. The latter with non-potable waters.

10 Therefore it is also important to carry out condensation at sea level, since

At a height of 5500 m the atmospheric pressure is half and the dew point decreases. Therefore its temperature is more difficult to obtain.

It may be important to perform condensation at night. Which would require smaller hoses.
