#2Does anyone have any details about their actual technical implementation? I'm sure it is interesting.
I imagine it doesn't look too similar to a Tatooine moisture farm.

#3Is this another one of those dehumidifier machines that promises it can deliver gallons when using a tarp, rope, and a bucket to catch rain water collects more water per year?

#4I'm a bit irked that a technology of this significance has no videos or demos or actual use cases, just a PR blurb. Is it confidentiality, or is it too early stage? Otherwise X Prize becomes another congratulatory event. This feeling seems to run through the entire site as I click around.

RTFA, especially before snarky dismissals: "meeting the competition parameters of extracting a minimum of 2,000 liters of water per day from the atmosphere using 100 percent renewable energy, at a cost of no more than two cents per liter"

I read the article. Do you know how many of these things promise gallons and deliver drops? Pardon me for being pessimistic about it.

Do you have a source for that?

They have commercial models for sale that produce half the competition amounts, and have pretty detailed specs online: http://www.skysource.org/products/

It looks like a construction-site power generator - big ol' metal cube. http://www.skysource.org/products/
Technical implementation is claimed to be 'adiabatic distillation' - not sure exactly what that means.
