A Nature-Inspired Breakthrough in Capturing Atmospheric Water
WAVR’s technology is inspired by nature. Our scientists were fascinated by Australian tree frogs’ ability to extract and retain moisture from extremely dry air environments. Basically, they could hydrate in the safety of the tree canopy.
The question was, could we recreate what nature has achieved through millions of years of evolution and capture ambient water vapor at much greater scale?
The answer is, yes.
Our proprietary approach mimics this process. Our hydrogel membrane is specially configured to allow an ultra-saline solution to continuously attract ambient water vapor with high-efficiency.
How It Works
Water Capture
Proprietary hydrogel membranes allow ambient water vapor to be drawn into the flowing ultra-saline solution that flows internally.
Water Release
A low-energy thermal cycle releases the captured water
Why This Breakthrough Matters
Works in low humidity environments (down to 10% relative humidity, the kind of arid conditions where traditional AWGs cannot operate)
Low-energy process dramatically improves economics and sustainability
Modular and scalable from smaller deployments to industrial production
High water purity, supporting high-spec water quality requirements
Built for reliability, not novelty
This is atmospheric water harvesting matured into a practical infrastructure solution.
