“Tech Xplore noted that the device “can produce between 3.5 and 7 kilograms (0.91 and 1.82 gallons) of water per kilogram of gel materials, depending on humidity conditions.””
umm… how long does it take to do that?????
Water isn’t just used for drinking. A quick Google is showing the average American uses about 80-100+ gallons a DAY… so this better be quick lol
Aerial wells already exist. No gel needed.
Sounds like they’re moving beyond possibility and through prototyping, so this could work. But they want to deploy it in arid areas, so what will happen to the flora and fauna that are already using that scant amount of moisture?
