Claim:
1. A system for continuously producing silica-encapsulated liquid water comprising: a driving gas source; a silica reservoir configured for holding silica particles therein; a liquid water reservoir configured for holding liquid water therein; a mixing chamber configured for receiving liquid water and silica and blending them such that liquid water droplets are encapsulated by the silica particles; wherein the driving gas source is configured for supplying gas to the liquid water reservoir to force the flow of water from the liquid water reservoir to the mixing chamber, to the silica reservoir to force the flow of silica particles from the silica reservoir to the mixing chamber, and to the mixing chamber to force the flow of silica-encapsulated water out of the mixing chamber via a silica-encapsulated water outlet.
