The new self-sustaining technology could provide a lifeline for people living in arid regions, according to the team that developed it from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>The system works in a two-stage cycle that first captures water from the air with an absorbent material and then extracts it within a sealed chamber using heat from the sunlight. Two-stage systems typically require manual labour to switch from one cycle to another, however the new technology automatically alternates between the two without need for intervention.<\/p>\n<p>The system can generate two to three litres of water per square metre each day, which can be used to drink or for farming. The researchers demonstrated that it could be used to irrigate Chinese cabbage and desert trees. The passive technique allows for continuous operation without intervention, while running the system for several weeks during tests required no maintenance. Operational costs are also reduced by the materials used, which include a water-wicking fabric, a low-cost hygroscopic salt and a plastic-based frame.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/shorturl.at\/59iRN\">AOL<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-567\/\">Solar-powered device harvests litres of drinking water from thin air<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[451,5423,575],"class_list":["post-132776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-air","tag-drinking-water","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132776\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
