Internally, the panel consists of five devices that extract water vapour from the air using a condenser and filters.
Water is stored in tanks at the top of the structure. Once filtered, it flows down a pipe connected to a tap, accessible to everybody.
The internal system costs some US$1,200 (£790) to set up.
On the publicity side, the panel itself seeks to attract the “creative minds that Peru needs” to the young UTEC, which was founded only a year ago.

This is pretty cool isn’t it? I mean it’s a lot better than the national media banging on about having a car that runs on water – which is an overly simplistic view of exactly what goes on and I still haven’t seen one on the road.
I still can’t find more information on the internal working of this air to water billboard, but sounds pretty good. I can see of more than one country having the room to set one of these ups. Just saying…
