Ultrasonic device dramatically speeds harvesting of water from the air

Same caveat as other types of water harvesting: you have to have water in your air to extract. Arid regions need not apply.
vessenes•2mo ago
Sahara desert average air humidity is .. I think 25%?

As far as I know most air trap type humidity stuff works in the desert, just not as quickly as in, say, the jungle.

defrost•2mo ago
The assertion in the article is that:

   Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, can be soaked up and squeezed out to produce clean drinking water. In recent years, scientists have developed a host of promising sponge-like materials for this “atmospheric water harvesting.”
The number returned by Google (for what that's worth) is:

  The Sahara Desert has an average relative humidity of 25 percent.
In the part of the world with driest air and least rainfall ... you could always melt the ice underfoot.
ASalazarMX•2mo ago
Imagine if future climate change caused legal disputes about neighbours drying the air too much before it gets to others.
RunningDroid•2mo ago
This kind of tech always gets spun as "water harvesting for deserts" but somehow it never makes it to more efficient dehumidifiers.
m463•2mo ago
They talked around something like that in the article "...who envisions a practical, household system..."

That made it sound like a (practical) dehumidifier, not a (futuristic) personal water harvester.

vessenes•2mo ago
Boy I'd like to see some hard numbers here - there are lots of estimates of more efficiency, but the press release didn't have any experimental results. Which is too bad, because anything that lowers energy burden of water harvesting in arid areas is awesome.
calmbonsai•2mo ago
Me too. This is a horrid piece of science journalism from, of all places, MIT. The actual paper is here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65586-2
gus_massa•2mo ago
The problem is that there is a minimum energy bound caused by the second law of thermodynamics. Once you publish hard numbers the efficiency claims disappear in thin air.

Finally, I can give up this life of a programmer and live my dream of being a moisture farmer.
