Abstract:
A modular fog harvesting system consisting of a water collection module and a water tank module is designed and manufactured with 3D printing technology and can be assembled like Lego bricks within a reasonable range. Combined with a Namib-beetle-inspired hybrid-patterned surface, this system shows a significant capacity for fog harvesting.
