It is a small, self-sufficient energy system powered by hydrogen fuel that can operate noiselessly and independently from electric grid power. Combining it with AirJoule\u2019s technology could enable soldiers to have a constant and reliable source of clean water while on the move in hazardous and undeveloped areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An off-the-grid system capable of transforming air moisture into water would potentially eliminate a multitude of logistical hurdles for troops in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access to clean water has been an essential for successful field operations throughout history, and lack of it can cause catastrophes. The crusaders lost the Battle of Hattin to Saladin in 1187 <a href=\"https:\/\/deremilitari.org\/2014\/01\/the-battle-of-hattin-1187-four-accounts\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/deremilitari.org\/2014\/01\/the-battle-of-hattin-1187-four-accounts\/\">largely due to a water supply crisis<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Centuries later, during World War II, Merrill\u2019s Marauders were plagued by dehydration and disease from contaminated water sources while conducting irregular warfare operations in Burma, with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/12\/us\/russell-hamler-dead.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/12\/us\/russell-hamler-dead.html\">resorting to chopping bamboo<\/a> into pieces to alleviate their thirst. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Marines at Peleliu suffered from both dehydration and sickness from drinking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalww2museum.org\/war\/articles\/battle-peleliu-forgotten-hell\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nationalww2museum.org\/war\/articles\/battle-peleliu-forgotten-hell\">contaminated water transported in oil drums<\/a>, or from stagnant puddles amid the gory island battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existing water purification technology often requires complex efforts to use effectively. In May, the Missouri Army National Guard\u2019s 935th Aviation Support Battalion (ASB) deployed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalguard.mil\/News\/Article-View\/Article\/4171716\/missouri-national-guard-water-purification-team-supports-tradewinds-25\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nationalguard.mil\/News\/Article-View\/Article\/4171716\/missouri-national-guard-water-purification-team-supports-tradewinds-25\/\">a water purification team<\/a> to Trinidad and Tobago in support of a multinational exercise. Although lightweight, their water purifiers relied on existing water sources plus four different filters plus added chlorine to clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, AirJoule\u2019s system, relying only on the atmosphere, can effectively produce water in areas where water is nonexistent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its metal organic framework can hold more than half its weight in water vapor. It requires minimal energy to convert vapor into liquid, potentially expanding soldiers\u2019 range of mission capabilities in addition to solving existing problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An off-the-grid system capable of transforming air moisture into water could eliminate a multitude of logistical hurdles for troops in
