The world is upside down, and most international news agencies now have no other words about the invention of the Egyptian engineer, Mohamed El-Koumi, the engineer of "mechatronics".

And the one who was able to turn air into water thanks to a “robot” robot he designed to extract moisture from the air and turn it into water using artificial intelligence.

Inspired by NASA's trips to Mars, 28-year-old engineer Mohamed El-Koumi designed the robot to operate in climatic conditions similar to those on the Red Planet, which is known to have high humidity, but very dry weather.

Elkomi says that thanks to its setup, the Elo robot can extract moisture from the air on Mars and turn it into drinking water.

Al-Koumi mentioned that the robot was called “Elo” because it means life in the Estonian language, and also in relation to “Elo” Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, whom Al Koumi considers his role model in practical life.

He said: “I am able to operate plants that can generate more than five thousand liters per day, possibly 50,000 liters per day. May I be able to do a skill as much as I can. No problem at all. I can also not use it on Mars, but I can also use it in any desert area that is not connected to natural water sources such as rivers or wells. The cost of drilling wells is very expensive, the cost of extending fresh rivers is very expensive and very expensive, and the cost of generating water from air is relatively much lower than all other technologies.”

He explained: “It is known that Mars has a lot of moisture, but there is no water. This “elo” means life, as it would lead to life on Mars. Of course, the robot is able to generate water with a new technology... the first technology in the world. There are many techniques, but this technology provides that it is fast and that the production of water is as pure as possible.”

It took nine months to get to the final design of the Elo, and El Koumi says it cost about $250.

The young researcher, who won the Geneva Invention Prize in 2021 and the silver medal in the field of artificial intelligence, added that the cost of producing one liter of water through “Elo” ranges from 1.5 to 2 cents, compared to 20 cents for producing a liter of water using other technologies.

El-Koumi hopes his self-financed project will be widely used not only on Mars, but in regions on Earth where water resources are scarce.

I hope the Egyptian state will adopt the Mohamed El-Koumi project and provide it with all the capabilities and resources through which Egypt can possess modern technology to build clean air water production plants.
