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.

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.

Yaghi’s mechanism can do this without a power source. It uses the wind and air for water input, then the sun to drive condensation and evaporative action.

Really interesting. This could totally transform many places on Earth.

More of the same huh? Heres how it goes in 6 steps:

1 Draft marketing plan 2 go public w/some shares for sale 3 Announce prototype and launch marketing strategy (ie plaster Nobel laureates name all over the product and drop adds on social media) 4 drive market value up 5 sell shares and get rich 6 you've sold out and gotten rich, company dissolves because it was all a hype machine. (Not a real solution machine, or it'd have sold those real solution machines instead of purchasing ad space.)

Replace w crypto currency if u wish. Same lies.

This could be interesting for a mars settlement.

One problem maybe kinda hypothetically down. Ten thousand more to go.
