Just google “water from thin air”. This has been done quite often the past 15 years. It’s an overpriced dehumidifier that is working outdoors.
1. They’re in Hawaii. It’s a little humid there. So... yea. Dehumidifiers will collect quite a bit of water in a water abundant area.
2. The places that need clean water typically have low humidity as well. To pull water from air, there needs to be water in it.
Think of this as all those folks that claim they can run their car on water as a fuel. The thing they fail to mention was they were using a battery to split out the hydrogen from the water to use that as fuel. Which is not more efficient than just using the straight up battery.
This is a publicity stunt scam. A real shame too. That money would have been better spent on education or better water infrastructure in places of need.
It means that it uses refrigeration to make it rain (maintain a dewpoint temperature) in a small chamber instead of just grabbing the condensation dripping off the refrigeration coils.
