I’m starting to think that all of those fattys Willie burned have fried his brain. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

A patent is pending on the process Wataire's machines use to clean the water and make it drinkable.

So they put a water filter on an air conditioner. People should also be careful about drinking water without minerals in it.

The real trick is encapulating all the planets water, so that we need to take out of the air. You need sandtrout for that.

Let me get this straight.

This “water” is safe to drink, but it hasn’t been approved to flush a t**d down the toilet ??

NO THANKS !!!!

Pretty sure the commode line was a weak joke. The point is that the home model they’re discussing is not really feasible for home plumbing use since it generates just a few gallons a day.

I believe the technical term for these is “dehumidifiers”.

How frakin’ stupid. The energy required to condense water from water vapor in the air surpases the “savings” from the whole venture. Another Perpetual Motion Machine.
