    Sniper-T, the method I am using is being used in a desert Colorado. Snow and rain is an easy collection process.

    What I am attempting is collecting the moisture in the air. As the air blows through a fine mesh PE Plastic it will the condensate on the mesh. Since the mesh has near 0 moisture absorption the moisture will be pulled into a container via gravity.

    This is being done in Africa effectively a 27 foot tall Warka water tower collect 10-20 liters of water per square meter of material used in a 24 hour period.

    My desire is to create such a device but where it can be portable. The issues I am having is the proper placement of this device and the temperature that needs to be achieved for condensation to occur.

    MAJOR NECRO THREAD ALERT----

    But I could not help but laugh at this. You are essentially a moisture farmer. Be wary or anyone trying to sell you droids. It didn't turn out too well for Lars and Beru...
