Getting water from air, possible thanks to Enrique Veiga

Description

Carrión de los Céspedes (Spain), Aug 14 (EFE).- (Camera: Fermin Cabanillas) Enrique Veiga arrived in Seville in 1965, a young engineer from the other side of Spain setting out to work not only for his employer, but for society at large.Now at 82 years of age, Veiga might have achieved just that, having engineered a machine capable of creating water from the air, as if from nothing at all, that has made its way across the world to guarantee water supply in Lebanon, Iran, and China.FOOTAGE OF THE MACHINE.SOUNDBITES OF ENRIQUE VEIGA.Translation: I think it was in 1992, there was a serious drought here in Spain, which caused great concern. And we kept seeing defrost in the freezers and thought "why don't we create a machine that can use the water from the defrost?"We've made a reliable machine, capable of producing the water we need, so we thought of giving it away to a village in need, and we made a machine for 1,200 litres.

  • The new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Cabriolet - Open-Air fun meets performance

    The new CLE 53 4MATIC+ Cabriolet now joins the SL Roadster as the second model from Mercedes-AMG for open-top driving fun. With its extensive standard equipment, spacious interior and comfort features including AIRCAP or AIRSCARF, the four-seater is fully suitable for year-round driving. The 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine with twin turbocharging has an output of 330 kW (449 hp) thanks to its exhaust turbocharger and additional electric compressor. The engine has a maximum torque of 560 Nm (600 Nm in overboost for up to 10 seconds). The integrated starter generator briefly provides an additional 17 kW (23 hp) of boost power and 205 Nm of torque. It also feeds the 48-volt electrical system. Other technical features of the new model include the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission, fully variable all-wheel drive AMG Performance 4MATIC+ and active rear-axle steering.Numerous AMG-specific features make the car’s body design stand out. AMG’s signature A-shaped radiator grille and the sharp, slender lines of the full-LED headlights create a look that is characteristic of the brand. DIGITAL LIGHT headlights with and without projection function are available as optional equipment. They feature daytime running light ellipses and blue illumination at the base of the headlights, which further enhances the car’s dynamic appearance. The striking front skirt rises in the centre to form an A-shape (‘A-Wing’) that accommodates a large air intake for increased air flow. The same applies to the outer air intakes with two horizontal fins.Elegantly formed edges add structure to the profile. Meanwhile, flared front and rear wheel arches, a wide track (+58 millimetres at the front, +75 millimetres at the rear compared to the Mercedes-Benz model) and 19-inch wheels lend the new AMG Cabriolet a powerful appearance. Optional 20-inch wheels are also available.
