It is a HUGE discovery, if indeed it works.
It is very hard to believe, especially that they could do this in large quantities.
But the fact that they developed this at a US university adds to its credibility.

Moisture vaporators, just like on Tatooine.

"There are an estimated 13 trillion liters of water floating in the atmosphere at any one time"
10 trillion of those liters are in Tennessee air!

I’m sure the insane leftists are already working feverishly to prove sucking all the moisture from the air will cause global warming to increase and the seas to rise.
Women and children hurt first and the most.

I dunno, it seems to me that the desert lives off the existing moisture in the air. Sucking the water vapor in a large capacity might lead to killing of all existing desert fauna.

So-called “air wells” are an ancient technology; so the concept of extracting water from desert air isn’t new. However, the old air-well technology involves a lot of massive stones. This new tech operates on different principles, and appears to be much more portable, and to require much less space.

Nothing new. I saw this type of technology demonstrated in Namibia years ago.

Water vapor is the #1 greenhouse gas. If billions of liters of water vapor are sucked from the atmosphere, climate catastrophism can be averted!

In Florida we should be able to do a lot better than a few liters of water a day. Marketed right it’ll be in everyone ‘hurricane kit’ next year.

This thing has been debunked. There is no way to get 3 liters of water from air unless you've got a gardenhose cranked on and pouring into that thing.

Heard about this before. If it requires any type of maintenance, there are vast numbers of potential beneficiaries that couldn’t be bothered with that.
