The Water Generation Pump
Mechanism- above the center (metal?) conveyor belt is a chamber that will seal during a cycle, but will also unseal between mechanism cycles. This unsealing is used to allow new air to pass into the chamber. Below the conveyor belt is another chamber that is much the same, but separate from the first. The conveyor belt runs around an insulating material. When the mechanism is operated (during a "cycle") it pressurizes the top chamber over a colder belt segment, and depressurizes the bottom chamber over the warmer belt segment. Calculation must be done to determine how many repetitions should be used to pressurize and depressurize the chambers, and at what distribution of energy, before the belt rotates, before the next cycle. Condensation occurs on the upper belt and, as it moves, it is squeegeed off into a receptacle; depressurization cools the bottom air and belt. In this same cycle reset, new air is brought into each chamber, and the colder bottom part of the belt is moved to the top, and the warmer top part of the belt is moved to the bottom (there can be an insulated segment between each belt section, to prevent heat transfer between them as well). This will restart the cycle, with a cold belt and new air on top, and new air and a warm belt on bottom. Calculation for how many pumps are required per cycle would be based on local humidity, so a barometer could be included, with an easily (or automatically) set gear system to align the necessary pumps for each cycle. The ideal set up here is that this machine can be operated manually to pull water from the air, perhaps with a single heavy object lifted and then slowly falling, or used like a bike pump. A model could also be made to run off electricity, with possibly even refrigeration used, if such things are available and feasible.
