New tech harvests drinking water from (relatively) dry air using only sunlight
Prototype makes enough liquid for a person to survive in the desert

WATER FROM AIR This prototype device captures water from air. Then, when exposed to sunlight, the black-painted layer (top) heats up and releases captured moisture as vapor into a container. A condenser then cools the vapor, converting the water to liquid form.
