Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner — claimed to work in desert air with 20% humidity or lower, delivering off-grid ‘personalized water’

The system can function in air with 20% humidity or less. But these 1,000 liter a day machines are not small, at around shipping container size.

    That water was in its way to somewhere, though. What is that other area gonna look like now that this device intercepts the water?

      same could be said about every shower you take and every toilet you flush

      Dooooom

      Someone is going to drink it then sweat it back into the air. I doubt its going to get bottled and shipped somewhere else.

      Sounds like that other area needs to pull up on those bootstraps and make a water machine for its needs then.

      Eventually all that dry air will end up above the ocean and absorb more water to balance the system. I don’t think it’s really an issue, we weren’t getting rain clouds from the Sahara anyway.
