Does the product also have a role in extracting the moisture or it’s just a natural phenomenon?

Many of you misunderstand why a plant engages in evapotranspiration. One the the key reasons that stomates open and moisture is dispersed is to carry away oxygen to clear this toxic by-product of photosynthesis. The plant dumps moisture to get rid of oxygen, which if left to accumulate would inhibit photosynthesis.

Also, it is a remnant of colonialism to assume that these 'third world primative people' can't recognize and adapt a good idea when one comes along. Actually, if you take the time to travel and live among other cultures, you are constantly impressed with the universal intelligence and creativity of all members of the far-flung human experience. A good idea is a good idea, and as for life cycle considerations, that's all in the fine-tuning: Try not to let the 'perfect' be the enemy of the good.
Aloha,

First off, a device of that complexity is not going to be cheaply manufactured to the point of being affordable to third world countries. You need custom molds, machinery, workers, etc. Second off, if this really worked, then why wouldn’t you just put a plastic bottle over some leaves and gather water off of that? PVC, the material quoted, is just standard water bottle plastic. Third, to my knowledge, trees don’t ‘sweat’ water, unless under extreme environmental conditions where the plant is so stressed it’s going to die. The best you’ll get from this is just the dew collected off of the leaves, which will take longer than 4 hours.
