Leidenford Limited
The global water crisis is a daunting challenge that has drawn increasing attention. According to a recent update by the United Nations, 2.3 billion people live in water-stressed areas, because of the lack of sizable natural lakes, rivers and usable ground water, as well as rapid population growth. Atmospheric moisture is an abundant water resource that remains to be explored. The team developed the first-ever Fog-powered Green Generator to harvest energy and freshwater from moisture, which combines a newly developed high-power density droplet-based energy generator (DEG) with a nature-inspired, superhydrophobic fog harvesting mesh.
