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.

"Moisture vaporators, just like on Tatooine." My first job was programing binary load lifters, very similar to your vaporators!

Sucking all that moisture from the air can’t be a good idea. Respiration, perspiration, urination, evaporation....it all winds back where it started, to be recycled and consumed again.

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.
To: truth_seeker
Why not just use a simple vacuum pump to get water from the air?
