They need to award the X Prize to someone that can find a way to convert excess population into water. That should solve the worlds water, food, pollution, housing and energy problems, etc, etc, etc.

Although it might cause a decline in Amazon's stock price.

Pretty sure humans count as biomass.

Many people here are forgetting the lack of infrastructure in places where the water extraction equipment would be useful. While it may not be the cheapest solution, they can't afford the cost of infrastructure to bring the cost down.

Not to mention that with advanced materials specifically tailored to local humidity levels, adsorbing moisture out of the air rather than condensing water vapor becomes a much simpler operation, using the sun in the day and the desert sky at night to power and increase efficiency. The only electrical needs may be for fans to move air. Water is adsorbed and night and driven off the adsorption media during the day by the heat of the sun. There is no need for fuel to burn.

Yeah I don't get it. A rhesus monkey even brought it up, post #26.

Harveting moisture from the air has been developed. Let the spice flow!

Ok not quite from air, but pretty cool. More like the water extractor in Dune I guess.

So they got 1.5 million for building a dehumidifier?

Sorry, Mr. Monkey.

Brew me something from fermented mangoes and we'll call it even.
