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’s far smaller than I expected. I also don’t imagine it will be cheap. If they manage to make it less than $100,000 then I’ll be baffled. Less than $500,000 and I’ll be excited for the possibilities in my lifetime.
“booooring”
I mean, a little. It’s far easier to sell someone on less than half a million than on more than half a million.
Considering the amount of water it produces, I imagine it would be a community rather than an individual that buys it.
Frankly, I was imagining ultra-wealthy preppers. 1000 liters is less than the average household uses per day in the US, according to the most commonly repeated stat. That feels wildly inflated, but I have nothing to dispute it with other than my own household usage, which is far lower.
Yea it seems like a lot! But I assume it would be for communities that are already in the desert, they’re manageing with water, but barely, and one or two of these machines would help rounding things.
