Water Tom

Water Tom is a totem which has the function to extrapolate water from thermal excursion, relative humidity and temperature. Water Tom is made to enhance condensation of water producing it potabile on site. It allows the user to reduce starting stocks making the travel lighter.

The core of Water Tom is a telescopic structure inspired by Mandala due to the flexibility of the structure and the multiple possibilities to rearrange its shape, covered by a net that undergoes a treatment by which Water Tom is able to traps and collect water from volatile particles. It’s designed to be lightweight and easy to use when there is no water nearby.

The most important features are:

POSS-PEMA coating (super hydrophobic behavior for optimize water harvesting)

Titanium Oxide treatment (titanium dioxide which purifies water by photocatalysis)
