Leaving aside the pretentiousness of the "water consciousness movement", I'm really interested in "decentralized" access to water, and I have a few questions about this technology maybe one of you can answer:
Is it portable? For example, the article mentions Burning Man. Could you theoretically bring this to a desert and extract water from the air? There's probably enough sunlight in a typical desert to power the solar panels, but is there enough water moisture in the air to extract?
(Context: I generally agree with the perspective that water treatment keeps water safe to drink.) How could I test water from the ZMW system to ensure that it meets similar safety standards as tap water? Could I process the extracted water myself? What does that process look like?
I get the general sense that this particular system is being marketed to wealthy people. Are there any similar systems that try to do this cheaply? Maybe as a mission to make water accessible to everyone.
General question around climate change: is "more water moisture in the air" one of the expected long-term effects of climate change?

There's probably enough sunlight in a typical desert to power the solar panels, but is there enough water moisture in the air to extract? You could not do this at Burning Man. During the event, the humidity level is something like 3%. You literally don't sweat at Burning Man.
