Univ Texas fresh water tool

Cellulose tech absorbs humidity makes lots of fresh water when heated to only 60C.

I understand a rooftop watermaker that draws moisture from the air is already on the horizon for RV's. It's from Israel. Go to Watergen.com

Watergen uses solar energy, and low grade heat, to produce up to 50 liters per day, harvesting the water vapor contained in the atmosphere.

Seems kinda weird that the WaterGen 'mobile' product (coming soon, 12V) only shows terrestrial examples - you'd figure at least one boat would be pictured with the system.
