January 10, 2008--New device turns air into drinking water (Environmental Network News)
All around the world, we're dealing with a severe water shortage. An entire continent, Australia, is so dry that cities have set up "water police" to rat out residents who use their garden hoses a single moment longer than they're meant to. For years, Israel, too, has been dealing with a tremendous drought; the water sources that still exist in the arid country are often so polluted that the water is undrinkable. Luckily, there's one resource we've still got plenty of: Air. And thanks to a new company, Houston, Texas-based Aquamaker, that air can now be converted into drinkable water. Much like a dehumidifier, the company's new technology works to capture humidity in the air and convert it into water. The system has filters in place to get rid of any pollutants in the air, ensuring that the resulting liquid is completely safe to drink.
