Jacket harvests drinking water from air

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a jacket capable of harvesting drinking water directly from the air, potentially aiding individuals in water-scarce regions. The jacket utilizes a specialized textile that absorbs atmospheric moisture, which is then channeled to detachable units for collection and purification. This innovation offers a portable and efficient solution for personal water access, with potential applications extending to outdoor gear and emergency response. AI
