UT Austin engineers develop wearable jacket that harvests drinking water from air
Engineers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a wearable jacket that captures moisture from the air and converts it into drinking water. Unlike traditional water harvesting devices that are stationary boxes or panels, this jacket uses a special fabric that draws moisture as the wearer moves. The technology represents a shift from standalone machines to portable, wearable water harvesting solutions.
Key quotes
Most devices that pull water from air share one trait: they sit still.
A new water harvesting jacket breaks the habit, pulling moisture from the air while you walk around in it.
Its fabric draws moisture from the air as you move, the kind of water harvesting that once needed a standalone machine.
