The 'Limbe' dehumidifier is the design work of Fabien Roy and works to capture ambient moisture in a space to provide potable water in an unlikely manner. The 3D-printed PET structure features a leaf-like design that enables moisture to stick to the various 'veins' across the surface and guide water droplets downward towards a plastic drinking bottle. This will enable users to enjoy potable water in high-humidity areas and even those stricken by drought to make it ideal for developing nations.
The 'Limbe' dehumidifier features an electricity-free design that can also be printed using a 3D printer to further enhance the decentralized ethos of the product. This makes it an ideal solution that could provide continuous access to drinking water for impoverished regions.
