1. A method for collecting water from air using a water generator, wherein the water generator comprises:
at least one fan configured to move air through the water generator,
at least one cooling element,
a plurality of electrically chargeable elements, and
an adjustable voltage source coupled to the electrically chargeable elements, wherein the adjustable voltage source is controllable to provide a selected controllable amount of voltage to the electrically chargeable elements, thereby causing the electrically chargeable elements to generate an electric field that is adjustable within a gradient of electrostatic field values based on the amount of voltage,
wherein the method comprises:
turning on the adjustable voltage source,
determining the air's humidity,
based on the air's temperature and/or humidity:
selecting an amount of voltage to provide to the electrically chargeable elements, using the adjustable voltage source to provide the selected amount of voltage to the electrically chargeable elements,
adjusting one or more of the at least one fan and/or the at least one cooling element, and
cooling the air to promote condensation of water, and
collecting the condensed water.
