Someone came by my office trying to sell those. Sounded ok until I thought about where the moisture in the air comes from when you're inside an airconditioned office building - sweat and exhaled air. Means I'd be drinking someone's sweat and spit. No thanks.

I have to thank James cause I doubt I would have realized the obvious flaw with that rig. Yeah, spit and sweat. I'll pass.

Square peg, round world.
My water bubble up out of a hole in the ground and runs down to a holding tank. We pump from the tank to the barns and houses. Sometimes a frog gets sucked in. You just switch a couple of valves and back feed it to pop the frog out. It's all good.

You probably get used to that froggy taste after a while, eh?

Might not be so bad to drink the air from backstage at a Miss Universe contest.
Just exploring possibilities...

OK, so by a de-humidifier, filter the water and be happy?

So, it's safe to say no one here's gonn be ordering one anytime soon? 
What if it was outside, in fresh air?

I do like the idea as the world is taxing the water resource. However, I would think it fair if they would calculate the purchase price and life of the appliance into the cost per liter result. If they are going to compare pricing to delivered water expense and store bought. They priced the solar unit as zero cost per liter..:what

It's things like this that crack me up. The "green" crowd thinks this is all fine and dandy, but how much energery does this thing suck out of the wall gathering, cleaning and dispensing?

That was their figure on the regular unit. It did calculate the cost per liter based on electricity usage. But that was all. No purchase price, life of unit, expected servicing... The energy out of the wall would calculate into how CO2 friendly it is. Obviously solar would be the best.

Probably wouldn't work worth a piss out here...
Get your lips wet after it ran for a week... maybe.

Beauty, but don't you get wet in a boat like that, when you are fast running in somewhat rough conditions?

Thanks man. I couldn't love a human baby as much I love this boat.
Trust me, you could! We have got to find you a gal worthy of you.

I'd rather have the boat.

Butch could name his boat, Debbie or Vanessa, or some such bird.

Back to the dehumidifier/ water dispenser, it's not as gross as you all think. Every drop of water on earth has been recycled a few times. Where do you think rain comes from? Water is just water, two hydrogen atoms bonded with an oxygen atom.

Some water tastes better than other water, like that which has flowed underground for a long time.

True dat. It's a very dry ride. I fish Lake St. Clair, which is in the Great Lakes chain, and is "big" water. It gets nasty pretty easily, and this boat will handle it like a champ.
As for the water thing, you're right Squoil. The water we drink now is the same water the Roman legion drank, and the same water that was used during the Civil War. It all gets recycled. I think it's just the thought of it though. Water is water, but unless it was filtered and deionized, I'd rather have water from a lake or a river than water that I sweat out yesterday. Just a mental thing.
