Provisional
Patent #3 The Enertopia
Atmospheric Water Generator
Kelowna,
British Columbia, Canada -- August
17, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Enertopia
Corporation ("Enertopia'' or the "Company") a
company focused on building shareholder value through a combination
of our Nevada Lithium claims, intellectual property, & patents
in the green technology space is pleased to announce the filing of
their third provisional patent, the
Enertopia
Atmospheric Water
Generator (AWG).
Using the
understanding of psychometrics and the physical state of moisture
naturally occurring in the atmosphere, Enertopia has developed a method to
extract moisture by lowering the temperature in their Heat Extractor™
system to below the dew point of ambient air. Water will form
on the outside surfaces and drop to a catch basin for water
retention and collection. The AWG is another advancement in the
field of solar electric production and beneficial secondary
thermodynamic applications.
This technology will be
coupled to large solar arrays where efficient PV power will be
produced by day and water produced by night and seasonally during
the day. Enertopia believes that this approach
will significantly increase the ROI of any power project where water
shortages exist. Water production costs are projected to be less
than that of desalination or reverse osmosis both in first
cost and on a per-gallon basis. Arid coastal and seasonally
monsoonal areas are particularly favorable.
Worldwide
Potential
After running tests at our
Tonopah location, we used the data to compare the potential
atmospheric water extraction at a number of
different solar
array installations around the world.
The table below uses the data
from four locations. Tonopah, NV which is close to our
Clayton Valley Lithium project, is where the data for the first row
of column 1 is generated. We were able to show at maximum
production the ability to extract 5,466 gallons of water per
hour/MW of solar array. The varying factors in the data
are;
humidity levels,
ambient air temperature, dew point. Column 2 shows the
average water extraction per hour/MW of solar
array.
The raw data (humidity
levels, air temperature, & dew point) used for each location in
the table can be found below in the
notes.

"We recommend all
stakeholders visit our website enertopia.com for an updated
presentation on the exciting opportunity this
next chapter brings as Enertopia continues to move forward."
Stated CEO Robert McAllister "Enertopia has made great strides
forward in the last year by continuing to develop our Nevada
lithium property, expanding into Green Technology has resulted in several
opportunities that we continue to investigate in improving mining
and society at the same time."
Conclusion:
We continue to believe that
the Lithium hosted claystone deposits in Nevada will become major
sources of Lithium production in the 2020s while
offering the United States a secure domestic supply of
battery-grade Lithium products. We are also excited to see and
witness the convergence of several technologies that are changing
the very way we produce and consume electrical energy amidst the growing
opportunities for a better world.
