Is this type of tech a hoax or it is really thing that was not considered enough for the upcoming water crisis around the world?

      A/C’s already do this but that is not the intended effect. This guy optimized it to not just cool air but optimise it to catch as much water as possible.

        Exactly this! Also, according to this dude, it can work in places with low levels of humidity like the Sahel in Africa.

        i think AC tech was originally invented to dehumidfy warehouses or something.

        so this still sounds like the same tech, but tuned towards dehumidifying instead of cooling

      More like a dehumidifier with power capable of extracting 5k liters aprox of water per day and that is safe to drink.
