This knowledge has been around for centuries, used commonly by armies in the desert, boy scouts etc. You can do this in your back garden with a tarp, a pebble and a bowl. Hardly worth handing out awards for..oh wait, two architects made a silver one, quick give them an award!

I have searched up and down the net for this, but found no contact information or detailed description.

However, the device in a small version is rather simple and cheap to build. Only thing needed is the material to collect dew.

This article on Wiki is short, but has some basic info on the principle.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew

Also take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation

As you see, nature does it all the time, and the above device is simply just copying the same principles nature uses.

As I have not seen any reports on the results of the above device, I am inclined to think that it works, but the production claim may be a little overrated. Anyhow – I decided to build one myself and investigate how to improve the concept.

A smaller version sounds good for emergency water needs during a crisis. Many people stock food and water for such times, but water is harder to store and yet is essentical for many of the food items that are stored, as well as drinking and hygeine.
I did not see a place where these are now being sold, thus not a price.
