Get me some water

For the off grid water subseries.

I want to remember this, so here's the link to a dehumidifier that is rather powerful.  It is also rather costly and uses a lot of electricity.

An idea is to use this with a propane powered generator that will supply the electricity so as to run the unit.

Also looked at a system that would supply electricity, but not nearly enough to run something like this.

May be cheaper and easier to truck the stuff in, but there may be times when this isn't possible.

Update:

A side benefit of one of these machines is the production of heat.  At this time of year, that can be a real benefit worth considering.

Let's say that you could recapture the heat from the generator that produces the electricity, and the heat from this unit that produces this water.  This heat can keep you warm and the plants and animals too.

A little thought yields the observation that what we are doing is the opposite of what a swamp cooler does in the summer.  Through evaporation, a swamp cooler can cool down an area in the hot time of the year, while this can warm up a place during the cold time of the year and while doing so, condense the water as opposed to evaporating it.

Update:

This is not the same brand nor model and it's a lot cheaper.
