Air Wells

The collection of atmospheric humidity is an ancient technology that has been rediscovered in modern times. In 1900, while he was engaged in clearing forests in Crimea (Ukraine), Russian engineer Friedrich Zibold discovered 13 large conical tumuli of stones, each about 10,000 feet square and 30-40 feet tall, on hilltops, near the site of the ancient Greek city of Feodosia. Because there were numerous remains of 3-inch diameter terracotta pipes about the piles, leading to wells and fountains in the city, Zibold concluded (albeit allegedly incorrectly, according to Beysens, et al.) that the stacks of stone were condensers that supplied Feodosia with water. Zibold calculated that each “air well” produced more than 500 gallons daily, up to 1000 gallons under optimal conditions.

To verify his hypothesis, he first wrote a book entitled “Underground Dew and New Theory on the Ground Origins of Spring Water” (1906), and then constructed a stone-pile condenser at an altitude of 288 meters on Mt. Tepe-Oba near Feodosia.
