This technology is a synergistic sum of 3 known technologies: conventional hydropower, aerostats or kites, and fog (cloud) collectors.\n\nAbout 1/4 of the sun's energy is used to evaporate water. This water forms the clouds and potentially corresponds to a huge power of ~800 TW (50 times more than all the needs of people around the world, and 400 times more than the power of all power plants).\n\nTechnology AirHES allows to use this renewable energy to quickly solve the problems of energy and climate, and provide all people with a source of freshwater (11 times greater than the flow of all the rivers).\n\nFor water supply purpose, this solution is unique and global. Only this solution allows you to get perfect freshwater almost anywhere without spending, but vice versa at the same time receiving energy.\n\nAny other ways to get fresh water where it is not available are either local (like fog collection systems) or require significant energy costs (like systems for condensing water from air, desalination, evaporation, reverse osmosis, etc.)\n\nFor energy supply purposes, this solution ranks among other renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind), but potentially outperforms them in terms of technical and economic assessments and internal storage capabilities.\n\nThe Israeli city of Ashdod is taken as an example. Typical result of calculation and optimization: • Payback period - 0.471 years • Cost of electricity - 0.007 USD/kWh • Water cost - 0.105 USD/m3 (http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.36466.82885)\n\nIt is surprising that with such opportunities, the AirHES technology remains practically unclaimed for more than 12 years. If it had been introduced from the moment of its invention, oil prices would be “below the plinth” now, and no wars would be possible!","oneliner":"Getting cheap renewable hydro and electric power, and fresh water directly from usual clouds","website":"https://airhes.com","founded_month":4,"founded_year":2012,"primary_sector_key":null,"primary_sector":"","formernames":[],"sociallinks":{"twitter":"","youtube":"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNC-JEuSxSY2O4wQQxEVk-w","facebook":"https://www.facebook.com/cloudspower","linkedin":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-kazantsev-43752a60/","instagram":""},"social":["https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Andrew-Kazantsev","https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-kazantsev-43752a60/","https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNC-JEuSxSY2O4wQQxEVk-w","https://www.facebook.com/cloudspower","https://x.com/CloudsPower"],"flattenedsociallinks":"https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Andrew-Kazantsev|https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-kazantsev-43752a60/|https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNC-JEuSxSY2O4wQQxEVk-w|https://www.facebook.com/cloudspower|https://x.com/CloudsPower","is_claimed_by_owner":1,"classificationIDs":[],"businessmodels":["B2C","B2B","B2B2C","B2G"],"investmentstage":[],"exits":[],"investments":[],"portfolio":[],"funds":[],"apps":{},"founded":"4/2012","mediagallery":[],"address":[],"timeline":[],"tags":[],"databases":[],"sharedspaces":[],"utilities":[],"contributors":[],"employeesworldwide":"","fundingtype":"Foreign Startup","parsedName":"Cloud Power & Water (AirHES)","logourl":"https://storage.googleapis.com/clean-finder-353810/$Zob3MqTnbipERyNsMHcOcyFqxZamvEGb3JR7QR2GPMgB5ZtyMNWRHB.jpeg","oglogourl":"https://storage.googleapis.com/clean-finder-353810/$Zob3MqTnbipERyNsMHcOcyFqxZamvEGb3JR7QR2GPMgB5ZtyMNWRHB.jpeg","team":[],"careerspage":"","employees":"","productstage":"","products":[],"geomarkets":[],"usecases":[],"funding":{"fundingstage":"","totalfunding":"Undisclosed","lastfunding":"Undisclosed"},"seoabout":"This startup develops unique patented technology Cloud Power and Water (AirHES).
