3D-Printed Device Converts Air into Water for US Military
GE Research's atmospheric water extraction device could supply up to 150 soldiers with water. 3D-printed atmospheric water extraction device. GE Research A team led by GE Research received a multi-million dollar contract to develop 3D printed devices that collect moisture from the atmosphere and convert it into drinking water as part of DARPA's Atmospheric Water Extraction (AWE) program. The prototypes — which could eventually supply water for up to 150 soldiers, even in desert environments — will use heat exchange principles to draw water from the air, a 3DPrint.com report explains.
