Sounds better than re-drinking urine.

Was it the urine you had been drinking while reading this comment?

we can learn a lot of bugs and animals.

Great idea. Pull all of the water from the air so that it won't rain anymore.

Getting lazier and lazier all the time.

Not enough energy to get up and grab a water bottle, or fill one up?

I think Sharp or some other company was using moths' eyes in their research on developing a display that combined both the matte's anti-glare and the glossy's high contrast/quality characteristics.

The moths eyes' had nanocoating that allowed them to see well in the dark, without alerting every predator in a 1 mile radius.

19th century: "Water treatment with chlorine and filtering? Just boil the damn water!"

18th century: "Piped water? Is it really that hard to use a hand pump?"

17th century: "Hand pump? Why not just use the existing wells?"

Ancient time: "Wells? There's a lake nearby."

How about I toss you into a drought-stricken area or a desert?

And you would need a gigantic (and possibly inefficient) water plant to dry out the local climate.[/citation]

Tell that to the people in other countries without easy access to water whom often die of dehydration! DBag

All jokes aside, this is very interesting stuff guys.

Stuff like this makes me proud to be a human being. Amazing...

 

[madjimms]

I think this will have a profound impact in desert areas where clean drinking water is very hard to find. Props to the scientists, but lets just hope someone doesn't pull an Apple & prevent anyone else from using this technology.

 

[groveborn]

I had a similar idea a decade ago, though it involved a small dehumidifier. Oh well.

Hi, I'm a Namib desert beetle and I'm going to sue your human ar$es for breach of patent.

It's a shame Frank Herbert missed this.

"support people who possibly take long trips on yachts"

yeah, don't think they'll be using this, plenty of bottled water and reverse osmosis on their YACHT

Sorry, but Apple had a patent before you. Expect to see a can of lawyers on your porch one of these days.
