METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RENEWABLE PRODUCTION OF ELECTRIC POWER AND CLEAN WATER Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F03B13/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method consists in using atmospheric water to produce electric power and distilled water. Atmospheric water is collected at the level of clouds into collector and, therefrom, is directed to the surface hydraulic turbine with generators to produce electric current. Water is forced from turbine outlet into accumulating tank. Finely dispersed reagent is sprayed in cloud for water condensation and fall-out. Proposed device comprises tapered collector, flexible tube, hydraulic turbine and finely-dispersed reagent sprayer suspended to aerostat. Collector is provided with aerostat fastened thereto and annular balloon with pressurised gas arranged along collector edges. Flexible tube is secured to collector tapered part crest. Tube length exceeds maximum distance from collector suspension level to ground. Hydraulic turbine is connected with said tube and generator.

EFFECT: production of distilled water not contaminated by contact with low layers of atmosphere and electric power.
