Turning Air into Iceโand Freezing Mountains Too: A Vision for Climate-Resilient Water Systems

Turning Air into Iceโand Freezing Mountains Too: A Vision for Climate-Resilient Water Systems By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (Messiah King RKY) As climate change accelerates the retreat of glaciers and disrupts traditional water supplies, communities in mountainous and arid regions face worsening water insecurity. In response, a growing number of scientists, engineers, and visionaries are exploring a radical yet practical solution: creating glaciers artificially and preserving existing onesโby turning air into ice, and even freezing entire mountain slopes. The Core Idea: Ice from Humidity Atmospheric air always contains some water vaporโeven in dry or cold areas. With the right technology, this moisture can be condensed and frozen, using energy from renewable sources like solar or wind. The ice is then stored for delayed release during dry months. How It Works: A Four-Step Process Air Capture : Fans powered by renewable energy draw ambient air into the system. Condensation : The a...
