Seems Israel invented a device that can pull moisture from the air according to this article.

An emergency response vehicle (ERV) carrying an innovative Israeli machine that pulls pure drinking water directly out of ambient air is on its way to California, to provide hydration to police and firefighters dealing with the aftermath of two massive wildfires that have taken at least 87 lives and destroyed over 10,000 homes and businesses.

The vehicle and the GEN-350 atmospheric water generator were sent by Watergen USA, the American subsidiary of the Israeli company that invented the system.

“The chairman of our company in Israel believes very strongly in humanitarian efforts to assist those who have lost everything in California,” said Yehuda Kaploun, president of Watergen USA. Company CEO Ed Russo pointed out that aid workers can serve for longer periods of time if they have adequate drinking water. He also noted that the GEN-350 reduces the number of plastic bottles needed in disaster areas, and the number of vehicles required to haul bottled drinking water to parched survivors and rescue workers.

The 1,760-pound (800-kilogram) Watergen GEN-350 can produce up to 155 gallons (600 liters) of water per day from the air. The unit has an internal water-treatment system and needs no infrastructure to operate except electricity, which is supplied from a generator and charging stations on the ERV.

How cool is that?

It's awesome.........Just heard of it.........Imagine after a Hurricane and you don't have water........not much power to run and you get water .....

Flint Mich..............They could put these things in homes and get drinking water without the lead.

Supposed to build 3 plants here in the United States............Household unit about $1300 from the guy in the video..........

California water restrictions..........bam.............Water out of the air.........

It's from Israel so watch for our anti-Semitic contingent to get their pretty pink panties in a wad about human consumption of that water.

Look at the specs.

Can be easily scaled up or down to any size required. Each 1⁄2 a meter can produces about 2 Liters/Hour at 26.7° C and 60% RH

And two cents for one liter or about 0.25 gallon.

Remember, as the RH (Relative Humidity) goes down, so does water production.

And the temperature is over 80 degrees F.

As that goes down so does water production.

And if the air is super arid because of drought, where does the water come from?

In parts of the world there the RH is over 60 and the Temp is over 80, you don't really need water. Because it's already there.

Always with the negative waves..........the article says it's being used in California..........

For Hurricane relief it's bottled water on pallets..........You don't think that water gets hot while being transported...........LOL

It will get humidity out of the air..........even in drought areas.........

But be Mr. Negative all the time..........LOL

I guess it will deliver safe water, which is not always guaranteed in those conditions. Doubling efficiency is a worthwhile result.

At least with your back to it.

Isn't this machine just like a dehumidifier? I tried one a long time ago and got quite a bit of water out of the house, but after awhile, I didn't like the dryer air.

Pretty much..............uses ionizers I think to collect the water...........but I think the filter system has to treat the water......you don't want to drink distilled water.....

But if it can produce good drinking water...........would be very good in disasters........
