A New Energy-Efficient Hydrogel Pulls Water From Air

Cars That Think

Using a new kind of hydrogel material, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have pulled water out of thin air at temperatures low enough to be achieved with sunlight. Atmospheric water harvesting draws water from humidity in the air. The UT Austin technique is aimed at the latter.

US DOE awards ~$5M to expand research on methane hydrates

Green Car Congress

When methane hydrates are “melted,” or exposed to pressure and temperature conditions outside those where the formations are stable, the solid crystalline lattice turns to liquid water, and the enclosed methane molecules are released as gas. Selected projects are: Georgia Tech Research Corporation. The University of Texas at Austin.
