Solar powered dehumidifier
Although the SolarVenti might sound like a new solar-heated coffee from Starbucks, it’s actually a solar powered dehumidifier for your house. The device attaches to a south, southwest or southeast facing wall of your house, and once installed has no operational costs. The device draws cool dry air into during the morning, warms it up, and then releases it into the house where it replaces the damp air in the house. I’ve long been a proponent of passsive heating and cooling for homes, the SolarVenti now provides the option for passively removing excess humidity as well.
Another option for removing water from the air, perhaps with a more useful byproduct is the Waterex, a UK device that is essentially a dehumidifier with a filtration system attached to purify the water for human use. The Waterex device can provide enough water each day for up to 10 people. Water out of thin air, via HippyShopper
