Abstract
The present invention is a device that can obtain fresh water from the moisture air and generate electricity in the process. The water collecting device comprises a vertical shaft, windmill elements for producing rotational force from wind, a vertical shaft, a water collecting tank secured at the bottom of this rotating structure, a small holed mesh with U shaped collecting ducts in the windmill structure and a generator coupled to the shaft. When the windmill structure rotates from the wind, moisture from the air adhere to the mesh and then are channeled to the water-collecting vessel through channels along the windmill frame. Additionally a generator coupled to the windmill frame produces electricity.
