I never thought it would take a university the size of MIT to develop an outdoor dehumidifier, but here we are.

"The system runs entirely on its own, without a power source, unlike other designs that require batteries, solar panels, or electricity from the grid."
Drinkable water anywhere with no power consumption is a much bigger deal than a regular dehumidifier.

Yeah, this is the important part. On first glance it was yet more of the extremely expensive powered devices (even if they are internal power with solar cells) that would almost never make economic sense vs a truck. But this isn't automatically prohibitive like most such things.

Ah, missed that when I was skimming the article, thx.
