MIT engineers have created an atmospheric water harvester that can generate fresh water in any location, including extreme ...

Aquaria Technologies, a San Francisco-based company founded in 2022, is looking to provide affordable, clean drinking water for the masses by pulling it out of the air.

A small panel managed to extract a glassful of clean water from the bone-dry air of Death Valley in California, which ...

A scientist in Turkey has simulated eight PV-supported hybrid atmospheric water harvesting systems and compared their performances. They were all considered to operate with R1233zd(E), R1234yf, and ...

Solar-powered harvesters could produce clean water for one billion people. The tests in Saudi Arabia showed that the scaled-up system could produce 2–3 L/m 2 of freshwater per day during summer and ...

The 2022 study suggested the system has a theoretical maximum efficiency of just 0.07 kilowatt hours per gallon of water. In a more general sense, atmospheric water harvesting systems can be an ...

Humanity has thrown the global water cycle off balance “for the first time in human history,” fueling a growing water disaster that will wreak havoc on economies, food production and lives ...
