A Dehumidifier connected to a water filter?
Basically, yeah.
How many kWh per gallon?

It sounds like there is more to it, based on their comment about using as little energy as possible. I would love to have a solar powered one that could be used to water livestock. I live in KY, which gets really humid. It would be a gusher.
Pretty much. And “80 degrees and 60% humidity” is not “thin” air, as air goes. Much of CA and the southwestern US sees 60% humidity only once in a while.
I’ve been experimenting with a ductless mini-split heat pump with ceiling cassettes on an old RV. Appears to me that in a reasonably humid climate, you can do this with a heat pump. I’m in NC which is pretty humid. It’s kicking off 5 gallons a day on really humid days. As far as drinking water, I’m a little concerned about the components touching the condensate since the heat pump is Chinese. I’m thinking an antimicrobial surface treatment, possibly silver would be in order. Still not sure if there’s anything else to be concerned about. I’d just route the condensate to the holding tank of the RV. That would be great for off-grid camping, you’d have enough water for daily use of two people so long as you had power sufficient to run the heat pump, for cooling or heating.
Yep. Simple as that.
