Electrolux Design Lab 2009 Finalist Water Catcher

AMAZING! XD

But how much power does it use?

Unless it's powered by water, I'll BUY IT! XD

In case I go camping and lack water! =P

Just use the bottle that uses nanotech to purify you urine (automatically clean and safe to drink once filtered), pure it in the machine, and it'll collect water for you :P

If these are the finalists imagine the rest of it!!Indeed, this a nice design , but never would be functional!!!

[BrenAGC]

Wow, this is extremely idealistic, we'll see I suppose.

[knightsnke]

I'll buy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no way this would be practicle. In aircraft designers wildest dreams they would tell you this is not possible not in the next 90 years. Consult an aeronautical engineer before accepting this fantacy..

Wrong... You have some Concept designer who knows nothing about flight. Have you ever seen a hummingbird in the rain.. First off any winged object or creature with such a delicate flight system would not be hovering in the rain. Second .... Water weighs alot.. Hummingbirds weigh almost nothing. Their wings were designed to support tiny little frames very light weight. Third.. the wieght of the water, the small wings the space that much water would require inside a ball.

Honestly , the only way this would really work , which i KNOW it will is if your walls had sensors inside them, and maybe special cups with sensors, the sensors in the walls so it can navigate safely and knowingly around the house and obviously sensors on the cups and glasses so it can aim lol

What an amazing concept!!!

[sdutango]

so if no water, doesn't that mean this is garbage? because in California, it rarely rain..

[majaglitter]

@sdutango it can get water from the humidity in the air...

[sdutango]

@majaglitter but I think making the water drinkable is not surprising, but... one, it's too small and even if it can purify the water, people wouldn't even drink it, what if a place with no rain? this is completely useless, two, technically the problem is getting this little thing to fly around automatically, not even mention how heavy it is... so the concept is good, but it's difficult and might take a long time. no offensive.
