"This is one of those things where, when you first hear about it, you think the scientists have gone out of their minds," says Robert Leduc, president of Hamilton Sundstrand's flight systems business, which includes the water-recovery program. "But once you taste the water, you realize the potential."
It is suprising that this hasn't been thought of before. Most folks have seen the catalytic condensation dripping from a tail-pipe. Why not use that system to purify the output into potable water. Just remember to take mineral suplements as distilled water, to some extent, leeches those from one's system.
Good show gents!
Confusion to the enemy!

I had a '77 Olds that would burn a quart of oil in every 500 miles. Wonder how they like drinking oily water?
I want one.
I wonder what taking the water from the normal exhaust leaves to be exhausted. My guess is that what ever little still comes out is quite a bit more toxic.

Since the water has already been vaporized there is no bio-contaminates in it. The only point of possible contamination is the storage tank.
A simpler solution would be to have a removable storage tank that could easily be decontaminated every few days.
Sure - that must be where the Stonemasons are having the water fluoridation system installed.
Who controls the British Pound?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do!
We do!
Humm
They had less complicated systems on hummers used in GWI to extract water from exhaust.
Is this better because some big defense contractor came up with the system? Or just less oily?
