Low-gravity water capture device with water stabilization

An apparatus to separate liquid droplets from a gas stream, the apparatus comprising:

• an elongated outer housing comprising an inlet opening of the elongated outer housing, and an outlet opening of the elongated housing, wherein the inlet opening is arranged to accept the gas stream;
• wherein the inlet opening feeds the gas stream into a channel that includes a helix structure, the helix structure comprising a variable pitch and variable interior corner angle configured to separate liquid from the gas stream;
• and wherein the channel feeds the gas stream into a first flow path and a second flow path structurally separated from the first flow path, and wherein liquid separated from the gas stream flows into the second flow path;
• and wherein the first flow path and the second flow path merge at the second end of the housing, wherein the second flow path includes a reservoir that collects liquid separated from the gas stream and wherein the helix structure extends into the second flow path and the reservoir.
