The specialists from MIT and UC Berkeley have developed an exciting device that can extract water from the air, where there is little water. Desert tests show that the equipment works even in places where the air humidity is only 10%. The device does not require any energy.

UC Berkeley and MIT are testing an exciting device for extracting water from the air, where its content is shallow. Besides, the project was recently tested in the Arizona city of Tempe. It turns out that the equipment works well. Also, most interestingly, it does not require an additional source of energy for its operation.
The UC Berkeley and MIT specialists’ equipment is distinguished by the fact that it can draw water from the air with a humidity of only 10%. Usually, such apparatus operates only when the air humidity is at the level of 50% or higher. How is this possible? The effect was achieved by using a unique material.
Also, the most crucial element of the device is a material called an organometallic structure (MOF). So, the combined particles form a porous surface that is capable of extracting large quantities of water, where it is then stored. So, that is for more information about this project, see the video below.
Evelyn Wang, who is involved in this project, says that over time this solution will even allow for the extraction of large quantities of water. There is nothing left to do but to support the scholars in their efforts to achieve their goals.
