This Machine Makes Clean Water Out of Air

This Machine Makes Clean Water Out of Air
Two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen is all it takes.

Approximately one in ten people on the planet don't have access to clean water. Infrastructure issues affecting clean water have crept into the United States in Flint, Michigan, and concerns about water sources have become white-hot debate points surrounding oil pipelines. Fortunately, an engineer in Chile named Hector Pino has developed a system that could provide significant relief—a device that produces water by absorbing the humidity in the ambient air.

I don't think I would want to drink dehumidifier water, however.

Funny, I was already off and running inwardly, thinking "Surely this is a miracle!"

I'd always have to empty every two of three days.

Don't think the water was potable though so that must be the difference — the ability to filter the water and dispense it.
