MIT Scientists Created a Device That Harvests Water Vapor
How can people survive in a hostile environment during drought conditions? A new device developed by scientists based at MIT offers an ingenious way of producing water — literally — out of thin air. The principle behind it is simple: what if there was a way to collect the water vapor present in the air and collect it — and, in turn, bring water to places without any rainfall in weeks or months?“We have built a meter-scale device that we hope to …
A metre-scale vertical origami hydrogel panel for atmospheric water harvesting in Death Valley
Water scarcity impacts over 2.2 billion people globally, especially in underdeveloped, landlocked or off-grid regions. Passive sorbent-based atmospheric water harvesting offers a promising solution by converting ubiquitous atmospheric moisture into liquid water. However, current approaches are limited by low water production (a few millilitres a day), the release of unsafe lithium ions and poor efficiency in conditions of low relative humidity. …
MIT's high-tech ‘bubble wrap’ turns air into safe drinking water — even in Death Valley
Researchers at MIT have tested a new technology for turning water vapor in the atmosphere into drinkable water, even in extreme environments. It’s a big step towards addressing water scarcity across the globe.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a high-tech collector capable of collecting water directly from the air – even in Death Valley, the driest desert…More...
Engineers at MIT have developed a new device that can harvest moisture from the air to produce safe drinking water, even in very dry deserts. Moreover, the device can operate independently without the need for power sources such as batteries or solar panels.
