One which runs on solar thermal energy and the other which uses night radiant cooling.   The solar thermal system can operate at 14% RH but the sq foot of solar collector tends to go up as the humidity goes down.    Ours will never be interesting to the military because the renewable based approaches can not reach the same energy density necessary for portable deployment.  I hope ours will be attractive for long term use in areas where electricity is expensive.

The new generation of technology is aimed specifically at producing more water per gallon of fuel consumed.

If you have a special piece of paper that lets water through but not salt, and you put salt water on one side and pure water on the other, the salt water will leach pure water over. That tendency (to go from the less salty to the more salty side) is called osmosis. So they first suck water from the air using salt, then use reverse osmisis--leaching pure water from salty water--to extract water from the salt. The can also use the same filter to extract water from salty water without leaching from the air, too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Han]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2007 2:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Aqua Sciences extracts water from thin air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/aqua-sciences-extracts-water-from-thin-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/06/aqua-sciences-extracts-water-from-thin-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[This sort of technology is highly required in Nigeria and many drought ridden sub-saharan African countries,but the cost...!?!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Elis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 21st 2008 8:49PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
