Except that it seems an expensive way of doing things.
Something about 30kW is going to cost about £100k. Ish.
That seems an expensive way to produce water.
I can see it working for somewhere like the farming communities of South Australia who might be able to lay their hands on a couple hundred thousand dollars but I think they’d be better of running the turbine for power and using the power for, inter alia, a desalination plant.
If a family living in Africa could rustle up £100k-£200k then they be better off buying a house in East Kilbride, where it rains a lot.
