It may not create drinking water from
anything like Dean Kamen's
wonder machine, but this new so-called Klimatic Base 1 AirWater Machine does its share of inventive (but
not entirely unique) water purifying nonetheless. The device promises to pull drinkable water out of the air. That's done, as you might have guessed, with the aid of an apparently standard dehumidifier, which gets paired with several filters and a UV light chamber that the company says will eliminate any bacterial content that might be in the water.
You'll apparently even be able to get both hot and cold water from the dispenser. There's no word on price or availability just yet, unfortunately, but we wouldn't recommend trying to rig up your own with a Brita filter and the dehumidifier in your basement in the meantime, either. [Source:

I don't trust it. I don't want to drink water that was evaporated from my work place. Sound totally disgusting.

This is a very good ida cause the water we breath out is what we drink so the particles will be heated or fillter, air condisioners solve waterer shortage.
