- aaron695 9y ago"This is a major breakthrough in the long-standing challenge of harvesting water from the air at low humidity" It's not practical at high humity (with some exceptions) this is a bit warning sign.
- gozur88 9y agoThis is a "windtrap" right out of Dune. I'm curious how much the MOF costs, though.
- kylehotchkiss 9y agoI hope we live to see this thing producible for $2. Even if it works half as well, this would be a miracle device for the developing world. Does anybody know the synthesization cost for MOFs? Wikipedia says "MOFs and zeolites are produced almost exclusively by hydrothermal or solvothermal techniques, where crystals are slowly grown from a hot solution." which sounds $expensive$.
