Well, but, it's just a big solar still! Anyone living in a desert community should know how to make one.

And what about humidity vs effectiveness? I was thinking of having one here for emergency water, but we spend most of the year below 20% humidity...

Dear Technion, can I have a PhD now? I have built something known about by low tech indigenous peoples for thousands of years....

C'mon - the kids can top up that emergency water supply for free. It's only for use in emergencies anyway, right?

If only they could make one of those that conjures up $50s and $100s instead of water.
