Ford doesn’t have a car yet that can run on water, but it does have one with running water. A powertrain engineer working for the automaker has developed a system that uses the condensation from an automobile’s air conditioner to provide drinkable water. Doug Martin got the idea for On-The-Go H20 when he drove by a billboard in Lima, Peru, fitted with similar technology that was extracting over 25 gallons of water from the air every day. It’s a simple concept optimized for this automotive application with a collector positioned near the air conditioner’s condenser that channels the fluid into a reservoir. Ford sees it as a boon to dry regions and underdeveloped areas where millions of people don’t have regular access to clean water.
