The tech does look interesting, but i have a slight worry, i can probably solve it by doing some extra research and maybe my worry is completely stupid and out of place but what if you start taking so much water from the air that at some point you remove the moisture from the air and the air turns hard and dry like desert winds? but that can't possibly happen right? as i said, pretty cool tech but i'll do the research but thats the first thing that came to my mind as i read this for some reason.

That was an awesome invention extracting water from air or I may say from the fog. I think, just a little modification of this technology, it can be used in the few water areas or in places that is hard to get clean water. There are part of the world that is lack of clean water and even dont have any pump to extract water from earth - this kind of invention maybe works in this places.
Yes, it's like cloud seeding (inducing rain), which works to a small degree in some places. Both seem to rob the air of some of its moisture. What is the effect on nature? I don't know the answer. It may be a relatively small amount of water, considering what it up there.
I saw a show once where they built a device that sucked water out of the air... but then it failed to distinguish between water in the air and water in people, and it just started sucking people dry.
Probably not a real risk here either ;)
Sounds like my vacuum cleaner.
Distinct from my cousin Vac, who is a cleaner... that guy just sucks the fun out of everything.
I guess that it depends on the amount of machines you are running in a certain place, a dozen and so would probably not cause damage, but if you start setting them up like solar panels by the hundred is going to have consequences too, but it looks like a great method anyways for places with no water and far away from the ocean.
If you have no water but are close enough to the ocean i prefer water desalination technologies.
