Anything that can benefit those in areas of water scarcity, but high humidity can only be a good thing, since this looks like it is applicable not just for cyclists. I do wonder though, in areas of high air pollution (like around Delhi or Beijing), how safe to drink the water is - though I guess filters for toxins could be incorporated into the design somehow
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and would totally try it. (Too bad I live somewhere with humidity under 10% most of the time, where we desperately need more water but this doesn't work too well.)
ReplyDeleteManuel Kim -- colorado: similar. There was some neat research being done on fog nets for similar water harvesting a while back: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_fence
ReplyDeleteCouldn't find the electricity requirement for operation, but for once it looks like the real thing - image editing software have made realistic-looking graphical science-fiction common while graphic arts schools preparing to the ads market, provide an incentive.
