Advert turns air into drinking water

This, to me seems such a logical evolution of the Plastic sheet,

pinned with stones to collect condensation water in the desert.

If they are going to advertise,

Why don't they do this all over the world?

"A billboard that produces drinking water from air," says the billboard up high. And it does what it says on the tin: so far, the billboard has produced over 9,000 litres of drinking water - 96 litres a day.

"The panel traps humidity in the air and transforms it into water. It's that simple," said Jessica Ruas, a spokesperson from the university.

BBC World

What do you think?

Excellent question and one I have asked a great many times about lots of things over the years. Much of what we're shown on TV by the Aid agencies could be easily fixed with minimal fuss and cost, but for some reason isn't. I know that in many places, corruption, war and poor education don't help but you do have to ask what people are playing at when it is so easy to get clean water, generate electricity and get an education..

For example, me and the missus were watching Comic Relief the other week and she asked "How long has it been going"..

"Almost 30 years, I think babe" I answered

"Then why are they still asking for money and showing us the same people in the same conditions, year after year?" She asked

"Good question......" I said...

OOPS.

I did a check, but nothing came up for turning AIR into WATER....

And that is my point with this thread.

Using Water vapour from the air in Desert-Nations to supply the people with pure, clean Drinking Water.

Thank you for pointing us to that thread.

I will read through it it now and encourage others to do so too.

I'll leave the rest up to the Mods.

Thanks again.

It's like when Arafat said no to the "amazing peace deal", mainly because Israel kept control of all the aquifers. The right to drinking water should be the first human right of every country and of entire continents. Maybe you, as the OP, should contact this company directly, talk to its president, and ask if any cost estimate has been figured out to do exactly what you say, provide drinking water to cities and towns in need of it. You have the heart of a humanitarian (I have one too, and keep it in a jar on my desk, right next the the jar containing Richard Mathesons's).
