1. An apparatus (100) for simulating one or more eco habitat conditions employing pressurized water as a primary driver, said apparatus (100) comprising:
1) at least one eco capsule unit (102a-b) comprising:
a pressurized water driven turbine to create (110a-b) at least one low pressure vacuum chamber (106a-b), at least one pressurized humid air chamber (108a-b) separated by the pressurized water driven turbine (110a-b), wherein the pressurized water driven turbine (110a-b) is configured to receive pressurized water from a recycle water sump (400) and to receive air from an air inlet chamber (104), for generating a highly humidified pressurized air-vapor-pollutant-water droplet mixture by creating a turbulence;
said at least one vacuum chamber (106a-b) configured to enable at least one or a combination of: a) a wind chill effect simulation, b) a rain effect simulation and c) an evaporative cooling to enable air and water heat exchange, generating water with an adjustable temperature by controlling the rate of evaporation of water and the level of wind chill effect simulation;
said at least one pressurized humid air chamber (108a-b) configured to capture the highly humidified pressurized air-vapor-pollutant-water droplet mixture created from the turbulence from the pressurized water driven turbine (110a-b), for removing pollutants from the air absorbed into water droplets to generate purified air with a desirable temperature and a pressurized humid air-vapor mixture, the at least one pressurized humid air chamber coupled to:
a humid air exhaust heat remover (112) for expelling or recycling the pressurized humid air-vapor mixture or latent heat, to regulate humidity levels in an environment external to the apparatus; and
an air-blower (120) for expelling or recycling cooler and dryer air into an environment external to the apparatus, by passing the pressurized humid air vapor mixture through a length of metal pipe with fins partially exposed to a partial vacuum; and
2) said air inlet chamber (104) for receiving air from an environment external to the apparatus (100).
