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.

    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.
