The solar-powered Fontus can extract humidity from the surrounding air and turn it into potable water right on the spot.

The Fontus is an inspired idea from those whose lives takes them to extreme locations where water may not be within easy grasp. The goal was to create a compact system that could be entirely self-sufficient in absorbing water molecules from humid air.

Nothing like crotch sweat converted to a nice cool drink. I think I would mount it somewhere else.

I actually uses to work for a company that made these in a large scale. They were called watermakers. Our smallest unit was the size of an office water cooler and the largest was bigger than my house. Linked in series they could have supplied water to desert communities. But they went outta business when the owner died. It was damn good water!
