Inspired by ‘Star Wars?’ Innovative technology allows you to drink water from thin air
As students at Kelly Elementary School in Compton finish up their P.E. class, they race over to their new Skywell Water Dispenser to fill up with cold, clean water. But it’s also water that doesn’t come from a pipe. Instead, quite literally from thin air! … Fresh drinking water made from thin air. … So, how does it work? ”It basically draws the ambient air in, and runs it across a cold surface,” said Dorfman. “When air gets to a certain temperature, it can no longer hold onto the moisture in it, and it basically drops into a lower tank. We clean it, we pump it, and it’s ready to be dispensed.”
