Human Practices: gold
After the fruitful discussions we had with Deepak Mehta from 3Dee, a leading 3D printing company in Belgium, we decided to enlarge the surface area of our shape by designing small surface structures on the shape.
Later on, when discussing the project with professor Dan Fernandez, we developed a shape with a mesh structure which could harvest even more atmospheric water.
Also, some sponsors were concerned about the quality of the water that we collect. We addressed this by working with a pure ice-nucleation protein instead of E. coli bacteria. Additionally, the water will be subjected to quality checks and, if necessary, purification. Other stakeholders were concerned about the quantity of the water we can collect. In order to increase the water harvesting we adapted the shape in such a way that it is easy to stack.
