A water collection device for collecting water from moisture vapour in atmospheric air comprising:
- a solar heating device;
- a storage tank for collecting said water;
- at least one convection tube, connected at one end to said solar heating device and at a second end to said storage tank;
- and
- at least one condensation tube for intaking said atmospheric air into said device at one end and connected to said storage tank at a second end;
- wherein when said solar heating device and said at least one convection tube are to heated up, a vacuum is created within said device which assists in drawing said atmospheric air into said device via said at least one condensation tube;
- wherein after said atmospheric air is drawn in, said air is cooled in said at least one condensation tube such that said water vapour within said air is condensed to water and collected in said storage tank;
- and
- wherein uncondensed air is then drawn up said convection tube by said vacuum and returned to said atmospheric air.
