Patent ID: 7404837

Claim:
A wind management enclosure for catching orographic clouds comprising: air guide surfaces disposed on a geologic formation subject to prevailing winds, at an elevation that is regularly subject to orographic condensation of the water vapor within said prevailing winds because of said elevation, the wind management enclosure having at least one first inlet opening generally facing said prevailing winds, and at least one second discharge opening generally facing away from, or substantially shielded from, said prevailing winds; a mechanism for capture of liquid water from the aerosol condensation content of the orographic cloud flows being at least partially enclosed by the wind management enclosure; a mechanism for collection of said captured liquid water; a mechanism for delivery of said collected liquid water to water filtration, sanitization treatment and/or storage reservoir devices, which in turn are in hydraulic communication with water distribution systems for public, agricultural, or industrial consumption; wherein jet pump-like features are employed to lower internal pressure by jet pump-like action to hasten discharge flow rates.
