Additional water mist humidification systems for adiabatic cooling of atmospheric air, and for increasing the Earth's albedo value, and thereby reduction of Earth's global warming.

Jesper Pedersen

The purpose of the invention is to reduce global warming, by generating fog/clouds which
increase Earth's albedo value, and at the same time achieve adiabatic cooling, due to
the evaporation of water reduce the air temperature significantly.
The amount of energy which is trapped on Earth is approx. 99 times higher than the
energy which we consume, this estimation is based on current annual energy
consumption of approx. 600 Exajoule, and current global warming factor of 3,5 W/m2.
In daytime the Earth receives an average solar power of approx. 340 Watts/m2. Around 50
percent of Earth’s surface receives energy from the sun, the remaining surface area,
where it's dark, emits energy into space. To keep the Earth in energy, balance the overall
energy balance over a year must be 0 W/m2, therefore, it's important to eliminate global
warming now, since concentrations of greenhouse gases continue to climb in the
atmosphere, there is a need for exploring climate cooling solutions. This proposal concerns
one specific concept, by generating low hanging fog/clouds, using collected rainwater.
The temperature inside the fog is lower than outside, and air with lower relative humidity
have higher temperature, and thereby the fog helps to improve the heat radiation and
heat rejected back into space.
When the air temperature is 40 ℃ and 20% relative humidity, the amount of water is 9,2
gram/kg dry air and if additional humidification takes place and 7,5gram water is added,
then the temperature will drop to 22 ℃ and dew point (100 %RH), just because of the
humidification. The portable “Power Breezer” uses the same concept, intended for local
cooling only. This concept is a modified snow cannon, with wide angle fog spray for
maximum fog diameter, mounted on top of the windturbine. The energy comes from
renewable sources like wind turbines.
