[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n PETERBOROUGH, Ontario, Feb. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE– Rainmaker Worldwide (OTC:RAKR) announces the granting of a patent that dramatically improves the efficiency of harvesting water vapor from the air. This patent will further enable Rainmaker to consistently increase production for existing and new customers and build on the almost doubling of potential capacity over the last two years.\n Rainmaker worked in concert with Wetsus on the research and technology development. Wetsus has now fully transferred rights and ownership of the patent to Rainmaker. This new technology works hand-in-hand with Rainmaker’s existing patents on the use of heat pumps with variable power input and another on improving the efficiency of the Air-to-Water process by using wind, rather than motors, to transport air through the system. These patents are important because wind and solar energy is always variable. Rainmaker Chief Innovation Officer Piet Oosterling said, “This is another step in our ongoing quest to improve water output while reducing the cost per liter of water in the places that need it the most. Working closely with Wetsus has allowed us to accelerate our technology development program.” Wetsus Director Johannes Boonstra said, “We have worked with Rainmaker Worldwide for many years and consider them an important partner in advancing sustainable clean water technology around the world. We’re confident that this patent will play a critical role in the ongoing development of their technology.” About Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. Rainmaker Worldwide Inc.
