The system can function in air with 20% humidity or less. But these 1,000 liter a day machines are not small, at around shipping container size.
Finally, I can achieve my dreams of becoming a moisture farmer.
Hope you enjoy a whiny nephew

I swear to god if that kid brings up the academy one more time, just kill me
But crying about not getting to go to Tashii station is okay?
Shut the FUCK up we have a shed literally full of power converters, your friends are absolute trash anyway and come on what kind of name even is “Biggs Darklighter” it sounds like his parents were from a Flash Gordon ripoff
Peaceful living as a smoldering skeleton
Atoco harnesses the power of AI to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and real-world implementation, transforming innovative research into scalable solutions. By integrating machine learning and AI with reticular chemistry, we dramatically reduce the time needed to develop, optimize and scale our novel nano-engineered reticular materials for carbon capture and atmospheric water harvesting.
Bruh.
This is likely not the Generative AI, LLM-slop type of AI you’re thinking of.
I hate generative AI. But other forms of AI and machine learning have been used for much longer and haven’t facilitated the building of ecologically harmful datacenters.
For example, AlphaFold, which is an AI program that can predict how proteins fold and is an incredibly useful tool.
I expect that the use of AI here would be similar: something trained for a specific purpose, not just generic generative AI tech like ChatGPT
Reading that felt like my brain was trying to chew glue
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That’s what it said.
Lisan al-Gaib!
sorry but isn’t that just a good dehumidifier? Is there something new?
And how much power does it use?
This thing works self-contained and off grid - using materials that have huge surfaces to condense the water. It is mentioned that there are powered versions too, but the principle itself does not need extra power, the Sun drives the condensation.
Cool!
shipping container size
That’s far smaller than I expected. I also don’t imagine it will be cheap. If they manage to make it less than $100,000 then I’ll be baffled. Less than $500,000 and I’ll be excited for the possibilities in my lifetime.
When I looked at condensers in the past, they weren’t incredibly energy-efficient. I suspect that it’s cheaper in the long run to do desalination and build a pipeline to wherever inland you want freshwater, unless you have very limited-in-scale need.
Yaghi’s mechanism can do this without a power source. It uses the wind and air for water input, then the sun to drive condensation and evaporative action.
Really interesting. This could totally transform many places on Earth.
That water was in its way to somewhere, though. What is that other area gonna look like now that this device intercepts the water?
Sounds like that other area needs to pull up on those bootstraps and make a water machine for its needs then.
