Kazakh school student develops device to extract water from air

Thanks to a modern invention created by school student Dana Kadyrbek, it will now be possible to extract water from the air in Kazakhstan. Using nanomaterials, the special device effectively absorbs and condenses moisture from the atmosphere without being connected to the power grid. The relevant ministry has already expressed interest in the student’s technology. Kadyrbek was invited to a meeting where she demonstrated her device. During the event, a memorandum was signed with her, and she was presented with a letter of appreciation and a gift.


«Water security and the rational use of water are strategic priorities that the state has now outlined in the new Water Code. The project you are implementing directly contributes to water conservation. Therefore, all the innovations that the ministry is introducing with the adoption of the new Water Code - in agriculture, industry, and our daily lives - demonstrate that projects like yours must be implemented,» said Kazakh Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Nurzhan Nurzhigitov.

«This meeting inspired me to pursue new beginnings, so to speak, and to continue developing my project. I am very glad that our ministry supports it. The Minister instructed that scientific research be carried out. I mentioned that modern nanomaterials need improvement, and he assigned scientific supervisors to assist me with this. Pilot launches will also be carried out in the future,» noted inventor of the device Dana Kadyrbek.
