# Air Humidity Water Machines The 'FreshWater' Drinking Water Machine Creates Water from Thin Air By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-01-16 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinking-water-machine References: [homecrux](http://www.homecrux.com/2017/01/15/60482/freshwater-machine-makes-drinking-water-thin-air.html) & [freshwatersolutions.org](http://www.freshwatersolutions.org/) The 'FreshWater' drinking water machine works by pulling in moisture from the surrounding air in order to create [potable drinking water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spout-water) without the need for a well or municipal source. The 'FreshWater' is the design work of Chile-based engineer Hector Pino and can be powered via battery AC power or solar energy in order to make it a versatile piece of equipment for use almost anywhere. The 'FreshWater' drinking water machine varies when it comes to water production depending on [humidity levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3i-s10-ultra-robot-vacuum), but has been reported to product about two and a half gallons in one day. This makes it suitable for small-scale use by a family, while a larger unit could potentially help to provide drinking water for an entire village in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Air Humidity Water:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop more efficient and compact air humidity water machines that can be used in various environments, including urban areas with low humidity levels. - **Potable Drinking Water:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Create advanced filtration systems that can produce large quantities of potable drinking water from various sources, such as air humidity, seawater, or contaminated water. - **Renewable Energy Powered Machines:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Design water machines that can be powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, to ensure sustainable and eco-friendly water production. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Water Treatment and Filtration:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Integrate advanced filtration technologies into water treatment systems to produce clean and safe drinking water from unconventional sources, such as air humidity. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Develop innovative renewable energy solutions, such as solar-powered water machines, to provide sustainable and off-grid water production capabilities in remote areas. - **Environmental Engineering:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Explore new methods and technologies in environmental engineering to maximize water production efficiency and minimize energy consumption in air humidity water machines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Countertop Air-to-Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmospheric-water-dispenser.md) - [Water-Producing Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airtowater-converter.md) - [Drinking Water Home Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmospheric.md) - [Atmospheric Water Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kara-pure-2.md) - [Humidity-Capturing Water Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumulus1.md) - [Accessible Atmospheric Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-from-air.md) - [Atmospheric Filtration Water Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmospheric-water-generator.md) - [Eco-Friendly Air-to-Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kara-pure.md) - [Atmospheric Water Generator Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watercube100-wc100.md)
