<p>A microclimate control apparatus utilizing the water vapor present in the earth's atmosphere as a natural energy source for promoting vertical air movement inside the apparatus, to gather, transport and distribute condensed water. The apparatus is positioned in the air using a proportional suspension system and a balloon enclosure (24) that suspends a tubular sleeve (53) containing water condensation surfaces within, and a hollow, convective lifting column (72) held in the atmosphere by circular ring balloons (106) positioned along the height of the apparatus, its altitude being controlled by a vertical cable (42) wound on a motorized reel (46) attached to the ground. The apparatus water condenser (54) generates and maintains condensation conditions for the water present in the ascending air stream, promoting convective air movement inside the apparatus.</p> |
