  Sources of heat tend to be more available than sources of cold. You could theoretically marry the two, using the waste heat from the condenser to extract water.

  > The potential downside is that this system requires energy to release the water – the base of the device needs to reach 184 °C There are heat pumps that can go up to 200°C now, and if it’s already a hot environment I imagine they could be fairly efficient. The “cold” side could be connected to some black panels facing the sun. But this would require a facility on an industrial scale so not something for a single home. Maybe a small village.

    Is there a way to create a device a human can briefly power to reach that temperature? I imagine for much larger facilities there are much easier ways to get water than this.

      sure, and there has been since the paleolithic, they teach how to make them in boy scouts
