A Vessel that Generates Drinking Water Out of Thin Air
Spout, by industrial design firm Bould
"Water is one of our most precious resources," writes ID firm Bould, "and yet many people around the world do not have access to a reliable supply of clean, drinkable water."
The firm designed an incredible device called Spout--an atmospheric water generator.
"Spout offers relief. Like magic, it literally pulls water out of thin air, filters and mineralizes it and delivers it to a pitcher where it can be used for everyday purposes such as drinking and cooking."
"The Spout device packs some complicated technology into a wondrous design that is breathtakingly simple and easy to use. "
"The pitcher, with an ergonomically correct handle, sits in a portal that illuminates the water as it fills the pitcher. The interplay between reflection and refraction is arresting and ethereal. Serving a dual purpose, the light also indicates device status and whether filter replacements are necessary."
"The spout is designed to be a welcome, hardworking addition to any family's kitchen."
I thought that this was just a wild concept, but the product is real.

So.... a rebranded dehumidifier?
From their product specs:
Power: 360-640 Watts
Power per gallon: ~9 kWh / Gallon
yep, you conspicuous consumption idiots can go spend nearly a thousand bucks on this while the world burns around you. or ... you could walk over to the sink and turn on the tap, but who's impressed with that ?
"...and yet many people around the world do not have access to a reliable supply of clean, drinkable water." Great concept (if it works) but at $800 I this is not viable for average people in third world and developing nations....unless it's heavily subsidized.
