DRINKING WATER FROM AIR FOR TROOPS - One Israeli company took up the challenge to ensure water can be readily available, anywhere and at any time, by extracting it from the most common of things: air. Their technology extracts water from the ambient air humidity, and turns it into drinking water.

Israeli Technology Turns Air Into Drinking Water For Troops

By NoCamels Team

Military troops around the world, no matter where they are instated, know that even with the best training, personnel and arms, they cannot survive battle if they are lacking one vital thing: water.

Among the concerns of military heads is to ensure water sources are always available, even in the most arid of places.

One Israeli company took up the challenge to ensure water can be readily available, anywhere and at any time, by extracting it from the most common of things: air.

Water-Gen, based in Rishon LeZion, Israel, specializes in water generation and water treatment technologies integrated with tactical military vehicles and ground units.

Their technology extracts water from the ambient air humidity, and turns it into drinking water.

Initially, the system filters the air so that water can be extracted and accommodated in containers.

Then, it is cooled and purified into drinking water. This water can be served from a tap within the system or inside the cabin.

Chairmen and co-CEO, Arye Kohavi, says that “water transportation is one of the most common reasons for the departure of convoys across Afghanistan. These convoys are attacked and have casualties.”

He adds that “if we can produce the water at the exact point where it is consumed, we spare the need to transport water and reduce the risk and expenses.”

According to the Water-Gen, the device, which can be fitted onto vehicles, produces 10-20 gallons (40-80 liters) of pure drinking water a day, even in harsh weather and field conditions.

The system, which is operated by solar or electric energy, is designed to meet military needs and standards, the company adds.

The company has wide-scale pending patents for the systems and technology.

In 2011, it completed a three-week experiment with US Army ground units (Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment), in which its systems provided the soldiers drinking water throughout the drills.

Eventually, Water-Gen hopes the technology can be implemented not just in the military, but in water-scarce regions around the world too.

The United States, India, The UK, Spain and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) have already shown interest in the company’s products.

PRESSURE TANKS - The pressure tank creates water pressure by using compressed air to bear down on the water. When a valve is opened, water is pushed out of the tank through the pipes. When the water in the pressures tank drops below the required amount, a pressure switch is activated turning on the pump. The pump then refills the pressure tank. The combination of the pressure tank, pressure switch and the pump is what allows water to flow through your home. Pressure tanks also act as reservoirs for the home.

Water Pressure Tanks: What Are They and How Do They Work?

When you open a spigot in your home, you expect water to flow at a certain speed.

Water pressure in the line causes that water to flow. If your home is on city utilities, water pressure is controlled (for the most part) by the city.

If your home is on a well, you need something to build that pressure and this is the purpose of the pressure tank.

In a nutshell: The pressure tank in a water well system creates water pressure by using compressed air to bear down on the water.

Because of this pressure, when a valve is opened water is pushed out of the tank through the pipes in your home.

When the water in the pressures tank drops below the required amount, a pressure switch is activated turning on the pump.

The pump then refills the pressure tank. The combination of the pressure tank, pressure switch and the pump is what allows water to flow through your home.

Pressure tanks, which also act as reservoirs for the home, are generally set to keep pressure within 20 pounds per square inch (PSI) of your starting and stopping parameters.

For example, most homes have pressure of 40 PSI to 60 PSI. If the pressure drops below 40 PSI, the pump kicks on and brings the pressure back to 60 PSI before cutting off again.

Because the tank acts as a reservoir, it allows water to be drawn from the tank without the pump cycling on and off each time the water is turned on.

This ultimately protects and prolongs the lifespan of the pump.

Pressure tanks also reduce instances of water hammer as they reduce air in the pipes and control the pressure of the water.

When choosing a pressure tank you will need to know the gallons per minute (GPM) – or if they ask for gallons per hour (GPH) just multiple that number by 60 – your pump pushes water through your pipes.

You’ll also need to count the number of plumbing fixtures, including outside spigots, the system needs to service.

Most manufacturers provide a chart to help you size your pressure tank.

Like everything, if in doubt, it’s always better to go with larger pressure tanks and have them installed by a professional.

SMOKING - Long Term Effects of Smoking - Smoking is extremely hazardous for your health. The key addictive ingredient of cigarette is nicotine. Other harmful substances present in the cigarettes are ammonia, hydrogen, formaldehyde, arsenic and cyanide. These enter in your body every time you smoke along with other 4000 chemicals.

Long Term

Effects of Smoking

Smoking is extremely hazardous for your health.

The key addictive ingredient of cigarette is nicotine.

Other harmful substances present in the cigarettes are ammonia, hydrogen, formaldehyde, arsenic and cyanide.

These enter in your body every time you smoke along with other 4000 chemicals.

But have you thought about long term effects of cigarette smoking?

How do they affect your body and health? Here is what to expect if you continue smoking.

Long Term Effects of Smoking

1. Cardiovascular Diseases

Smoking badly affects our blood vessels and heart, causing coronary heart disease. Blood vessels can also become thicker and narrower due to smoking.

It then increases the heart rate and blood pressure; thereby forming clots in the blood. If the blood flow is blocked by the clot or rupturing of a blood vessel, stroke can take place. The blockage can also reduce the blood flow towards our skin and legs.

2. Respiratory Disease

Smoking leaves hazardous effects on our lungs and can also damage the tiny passageways for gaseous exchange in lungs.

The diseases of respiratory system as a result of long term effects of cigarette smoking include:

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), a disease which involves chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Death rate of smokers from COPD is 12-13 times greater than nonsmokers.
Lung cancer
Asthma attacks can be triggered and make them worse.

3. Cancer

Your body may undergo cancer if you smoke a lot. It could be anywhere in body, including:

· Bladder

· Blood

· Cervix

· Rectum and colon

· Esophagus

· Larynx

· Ureter and kidney

· Liver

· Pancreas

· Oropharynx

· Trachea, lung and bronchus

· Stomach

4. Sexual and Reproductive Problems

Long term effects of smoking are also on the reproductive system of women.

Menopause starts early in women who smoke. Conception becomes difficult and those who get pregnant might experience impaired development of fetus, leading to lower psychological performance, problems in behavior and learning when the baby is born.

Other reproductive risks of smoking in women include:

· Early delivery

· Stillbirth (baby dies before being born)

· Low birth weight

· SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)

· Ectopic pregnancy

· Orofacial clefts in baby

Impotency could be an effect of smoking in men as smoking damages arteries and decrease blood flow.

The production of the sperm is also influenced by smoking.

5. Other Effects

Other long term effects of smoking include:

· People who smoke are at greater risk of bone damage than those who don't.

· Teeth and gums' health get affected and you may lose your teeth.

· Your cataract risk and the risk of having macular degeneration may get increased.

· Smoking can cause type 2 diabetes and even make it worsened. There's 30 to 40% greater risk of having diabetes for active smokers than those who don't smoke.

· Rheumatoid arthritis can be caused by smoking.

Effects of Smoking on Children and Teens

Children and teens get affected the most by the bad habit of smoking.

Problems in kids that can be caused by smoking include:

· Spells of cough

· Difficulty in breathing

· Wheezing/gasping

· Headaches every now and then

· Abnormal production of mucus

· Illness in respiratory system

· Symptoms of cold and flu

· Poor overall health and fitness

· Poor maintenance of lung function and increased risk of COPD

Consumption of tobacco is often relevant to alcohol and drug addiction in teens. It has been found that teen smokers are more involved in fights, suicide attempts, mental issues and weapon carrying than non-smokers.

Effects of Passive Smoking on Children

Small kids and babies are pretty helpless about passive smoking.

Kids exposed to passive smoking are at greater risk of having infections in chest, ongoing cough as well as worsening symptoms of asthma and meningitis.

The risk of cot death also increases with other risks, including ear infection.

Your children may not be protected even if you smoke in another room or open the windows to let the smoke go out.

The odorless and invisible smoke usually lingers in air for 2-3 hours afterwards.

It's Time to Quit

It's much better to quit than having long term effects of smoking for a lifetime.

Some tips that will help you to quit smoking are here:

· Get some motivation and pick a reason to quit. It could be your family or your health.

· To get rid of this addiction, go with a plan. Keep some support with you and discuss with your doctor for counseling. The methods doctor usually suggest to quit smoking include medication, nicotine replacement therapy or a behavioral therapy.

· Involve your friends and family in your quitting plan for further encouragement.
