Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner — claimed to work in desert air with 20% humidity or lower, delivering off-grid ‘personalized water’

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.

    The comparison I was trying to make is that we do have the power to capture 100% of a river. This isn’t good, for obvious reasons. Humidity capture is a much different process, since we can’t just capture 100% of the humidity from a panel either. You could have 80% humidity going in, but actually still 50% relative humidity going out. And that would be maximum absorbtion performance!
