LEAF is inspired from a natural leaf that produces dew drops on it. Water is artificially generated on it through condensation. The electricity generated through solar energy, is stored in a battery. The thermoelectric module which runs on this battery helps in cooling the metallic surface on the top of the unit. As this procces happens in night in the presence of humidity, due drops are generated on its surface and gets collected through the slope surface into the earthen pot. The water is purified through the sand filteration unit. In the middle of it there is a layer of sand. The water slowly trickles through the sand and at the bottom you have fully drinkable water. The filter has to be removed from time to time to clean it, but otherwise, you've got a low-maintenance water generating unit. On the other hand, the water gets cooled as it is stored in the earthen pot. The LEAF is 18 feet tall and collects approx. 20 liters of water in 24 hours and structurally strong as all the components fit into each other.

LEAF is among the top 7 winners of the Time to Care - Sustainable design awards by Victorinox, producers of original swiss army watches and knifes.

Your feedback is appreciated. You can vote for me to take my project LEAF to the top 3 projects which will get manufactured. Link : http://timetocare.victorinox.com/en/nc/vote-win/leaf.html
