Scientists Have Created a Device That Sucks Water Out of Thin Air, Even in the Desert

And while a lot of research has focussed on desalination, a team of scientists have now come up with another possible solution – a device that pulls fresh water out of thin air, even in places with humidity as low as 20 percent. All it needs is sunlight.

>>>So far the prototype device has been tested under conditions of 20 to 30 percent humidity, and was able to pull 2.8 litres (3 quarts) of water from the air over a 12- hour period, using 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of MOF.

My roof does it every night, even in the dry season.

Is it called a plant or a leaf?

Yes. on an average night, 1 mm of precipitation is from condensation.

Yes. During the Dry I can keep the plants alive with collected condensation.

The water is best stored in your soil than left to evaproate in the gutters.

It drips off the unguttered section of roof, is collected & tipped onto the plants. The guttered condensation goes into the water tanks.

This article explains the operation of the device in a much more cromulent manner.
