Australian Edward Linacre, a student at Melbourne’s Swinburne University of Technology, has invented the Airdrop irrigation system. The Airdrop claims to harvest moisture from the atmosphere by channeling air underground, where the change in temperature produces water through condensation. Yesterday Linacre’s design won the James Dyson Award. In an article in The Guardian, James Dyson says that his award competition shows “that ingenuity is alive and well.”
