Team 5: Water from Air

Availability of clean drinking water is a major concern for humans both in the present and looking forward into the future. Our goal is to address this problem by tapping into the ambient humidity. A secondary goal is to utilize renewable energy sources in order to create a single device, independent from the traditional power grid.
