    Abstract: A process of separating water from ambient air involves a liquid desiccant to first withdraw water from air and treatment of the liquid desiccant to produce water and regenerated desiccant. Water lean air is released to the atmosphere. Heat generated in the process is recycled. The drying capacity, or volume of water produced, of the system for a given energy input is favoured over the production of dried air.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a longitudinally extending housing having a fluid inlet port; at feat one plurality of spaced apart members rotatably mounted in the housing to transmit motive force between fluid introduced through the fluid inlet port and the members, the spaced apart members having an upstream end and a downstream end; and, a fluid outlet port extending longitudinally along the housing and having a first end positioned towards the upstream end of the spaced apart members and a second end positioned towards the downstream end of the spaced apart members, the second end of the fluid outlet port radially displaced along the housing from the first end.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a longitudinally extending housing having a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port; a plurality of spaced apart members rotatably mounted in the housing to transmit motive force between fluid introduced through the fluid inlet port and the members; each member having a pair of smooth opposed surfaces, each surface having an inner portion and an outer portion; and, at least one of the members having a width that is increased at at least one discrete location to alter the fluid flow over the surface of that member.
