Cool result. Although it looks like the mesh they used isn't disclosed everything else seems low tech, which would be good for mass production.
Is there any issue with removing nitrogen from the air like this. Does it only work until a minimum nitrogen contents?
- GravitasFailure 3y ago"Water (H2O) microdroplets are sprayed onto a magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) and Nafion-coated graphite mesh using compressed N2 or air as the nebulizing gas."[1] Nafion[2] looks really interesting, too.

- Fatnino 3y agoThere is more nitrogen in the atmosphere than water in the oceans. Running out of atmospheric nitrogen is not a concern.
- desmond373 3y agoI was more interested if the supply of nitrogen in a local area would be effected. could you do it constantly in a shed or would you need some vents to pump fresh air in?
