Homemade machine to bring endless fresh water to the Bahamas
FLINT, Mich. - He designed a machine that makes water from the air. Now, after Hurricane Dorian, he's trying to bring it to the Bahamas.

"This is a long-term recovery for the people there, and one of the stresses that they do not need to have is a lack of clean water," West told CNN affiliate KXAN. One issue is that West currently can't afford to leave his generators where they are permanently, so going to the Bahamas means leaving Flint.
