Abstract

An apparatus for extracting water from air has a housing (10) defining a cavity (30) having an air inlet (20) and an air outlet (60). Filters (70) span both the inlet and the outlet, and the cavity contains a condenser having a hydrophilic surface. The apparatus also includes a means for moving air through the cavity, such as a fan.
