Anyone following this development? Looks like a great alternative to RO de-salinators if it can work by generating water from the humidity in the air.. Uses only a small fan and some UV to sterilize the water.. Cast is about $1000 today, which, if it works with such low energy, would be great for cruisers..

AWN NANOTECH PRODUCT
Near-Zero Energy Water Harvesting
Inspired by nature, AWN Nanotech provides a disruptive energy efficient technology platform generating drinking quality freshwater from the air. The product is based on our patented nanotextile (P53958US00) capable of extracting water from atmosphere at a rate of 5 to 12 litres per squared meter per hour in relative humidity conditions of 20% or more. System design is highly scalable and modular. It can be customized to meet the need of industrial customers, community infrastructure or individual households. Our 20 litres per day prototype is fully integrated with a solar panel, filter and a UV light to capture, treat and dispense quality potable water. AWN Nanotech product is superior to competitors, being more energy and cost efficient (see table below). It can also operate at any geographical location and under any conditions and relative humidity.
