                         great possibilities of modification. Some functionalization 
                         methods allow making the CNTs super-hydrophilics. 
                         Super-hydrophilics surfaces have great potential for water 
                         collection from fog or any other humid gas mixture. In this work, 
                         we used the CNTs wettability to develop a surface with 
                         super-hydrophobic/super-hydrophilic regions for separate water 
                         vapor from humid air. This structure has been inspired in 
                         Stenocara Namib beetle. In this work we used a self-clean 
                         super-hydrophobic surface for water condensation and a 
                         super-hydrophilic surface for water pump as the Namibs beetle. The 
                         super-hydrophobic surface was made by deposition of polyethylene 
                         (PE) on CNT/stainless screen surface. The super-hydrophilic 
                         surface was fabricated by deposition of functionalized CNTs on 
                         carbon fiber felt.",
