Scientists have created a universal device for collecting moisture
Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of technology (USA) invented the bottle to collect moisture from the air, which imitates the African beetle Onymacris unguicularis.
Living in the Namib beetle to get water every morning, lifts the belly up towards the wind, and lowers his head down. After that, he stops and waits for the fog to condense on the ridges of its wings and will flow along the Central groove along suture of elytra straight in the mouth. This procedure at one time will give the bug to 42% moisture from the weight of his own body.
American scientists decided to copy this bug be damned. In the end, they were able to surface, which can condense water from even very dry air.
After that a startup NBD Nano, which is commercializing a new bionic design. It is believed that the novelty will be needed and where from the air it is necessary to remove excess moisture, and in places where, on the contrary, not enough drinking water of good quality.
Condensing water from the air, you can 100% protect it from dirt both biological and chemical origin, and the condensation do not need to spend additional energy. According to developers, it can greatly make life easier for the population of the third world, where access to clean drinking water is limited.
