Harvest Fog to make Water! DIY Fog Fence! Easy DIY Fog Collector! video shows a Homemade Small Scale Fog Collector (Fog Fence) that i put together. included in the video is the testing, the full build, some ramblings, and a list of thoughts. (roughly in that order). these "cloud catchers" collect fog and mist and convert it into pure liquid water. great for anywhere that fog or mist is abundant. the unit consists of a frame, some sort of "netting" and a trough. total cost $25.00 (13 for PVC, 5 for pad, and 7 for trough and u-bolts). it's a completely passive system (so no power source needed). i'd been thinking for awhile on how to increase the efficiency of these devices. finally, i eventually thought of using a finely woven natural fiber pad (filter). a plus is that it's currently being massed produced. the material is a finely woven lattice of ten of thousands of hair like filaments (perfect for fog/mist and dew collection). all the early tests (as shown in video) show that it performs as well or better than any of the currently used netting. many further tests will need to be done in natural fog conditions to see if this material could be an alternative to standard netting - but it looks promising.The tests: i first tested material with a mister. i then tested it with a powerful fogging nozzle. (best i can do since i don't have natural fog where i live.). the material seems to collect about 80% of the mist and 20-25% of the "fog". *typical netting collects anywhere from 2% to 10%. 10% being the most advanced on the market. so it's "possibly" twice as effective. current units produce anywhere from .5 Liters to 2.5 Liters (per square meter of material per day). assuming it generates double the best netting, that would be 5 Liters per day (for a full square meter). my units' surface area is roughly 1/4 of a square meter... so divide by four and the unit shown in video could potentially generate 1.25 Liters of water per day.(if i made a mistake on the math, let me know and i'll correct it). again, lots of further tests need to be done in various natural fog conditions to confirm. the material is rough and very rigid and held up perfect to all the water. it doesn't soak in, it just beads up and rolls down into the trough. i used a 2 gph fogger for the test (so output is 256 oz. per hour). i was collecting about 1 oz of water per minute (or 60 oz per hour).so a little under 25% of the total mist and fog was getting caught. currently, 25 countries (including the USA) are using these. hopefully someone who lives in a foggy climate will take this idea, test it... and post video with results. would be nice to see advancement in the netting tech. if it works, then small scale home-based units will become more viable. couple of interesting ways fog water is being used. 1.) to make Fog Point Vodka 2.) in Chile to make Fog Beer. if you like the video please rate, subscribe and share!

Thanks a ton for the inspiration. The material looks like dish scrubber in India, palm size. Cheap. Will buy plenty, sew them to ideal size, and find the moment of truth. Will begin with bamboo frames. I think for some native people coconut fiber may work too, coz it doesn't absorb water, but catches it.

This is swamp cooler pad material. It's available in both natural and synthetic materials. For longevity, I would recommend the plastic material, which can be purchased in rolls up to 20 feet long. As far as the trough is concerned, you could cut a slot, say 1/2 inch wide and a couple of inches deep at the lower end to bring the drip more toward the center of the bucket or funnel. You also might want to drill a couple of holes at each end of the trough where the U-bolts support it and run a zip-tie through the holes and under the bolts to secure the trough into the frame.

hi there. one clarification - it's not swamp cooler pad. that's a relatively soft sponge-like material that absorbs water. this material has the consistency of plastic but is made of natural fiber. it looks kinda soft and absorbent but is actually rough, rigid and bristly and absorbs no water.

We have fog in our little mountain town, but it comes more in the fall & winter, when we have more water, so this might be futile. Then again, it might add to the ground water in my yard area?

I live in a very high humidity area but we're also in level 2 drought and they're expecting it to get worse I'm looking at alternatives because the worst the drought the higher our water bill goes yes they do raise the price of water with drought. But we have lots of fog and extreme high humidity at least 6 months out of the year

I live in a place with dew, but not fog. How would I adapt this for dew? I was thinking that it would need to be lower to the ground and at an angle(Maybe 30 degrees). And the water collection apparatus would back the fabric in order to catch all of the dew. Any thoughts?
