Smart vest creates drinking water from air
A team of researchers at the University of Texas at Austin has developed a smart fabric capable of extracting drinking water directly from the air, using a technology that combines humidity collection and converts it into potable water through wearable clothing and equipment. The jacket relies on a special fabric that captures humidity and transports it to washable collection units, where it is heated to extract water. It has been able to produce between 400 and 900 milliliters of water daily, enhancing the potential for water supply in resource-scarce areas or emergency situations. The technology can be integrated into clothing, backpacks, or expedition gear, representing an important step in addressing the challenges of climate change and drought.
