RE: New jacket that collects up to 900ml of water per day directly from the air/Nueva chaqueta que obtiene hasta 900 ml de agua al día directamente del aire
This is an important advancement in the development of wearable water harvesting solutions. By combining moisture-trapping, high surface area and water-attracting materials to biomatter celluloid within a textile hydrogel, the authors/creators if rather have developed a fabric capable of harvesting water from the environment and creating 400 to 900mL of drinking water per day for various levels of relative humidity. While the tested prototype requires both a separate water extraction procedure and outside heat source, the potential applications of this to backpackers, disaster-recovery personnel, armies, and the 1.1billion who live without sufficient access to drinking water range widely and technologically WORTHY!
