So... this is basically a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers typically use some sort of air cooling to reduce water below the dew point to draw water out of the air.

And that takes a lot of energy.

So what is the purpose of this device? It can't be to provide potable water to areas without it, since those same areas are likely to lack a significant source of power.

I don't mean to be overly cynical, but I feel like I'm missing something here.
