Is it true that there is technology to produce water from air for emergency use?
Please see the link below.

I have a dehumidifier that probably has a similar schematic, and produces water by drying out the air. There is a warning not to use the water for drinking, and without specific reason. But I can imagine without normal hardness and other chemicals, drinking something like distilled water could upset the normal chemistry and electrolytes of humans or pets. It still might be used to water plants growing in soil in an emergency. But if one is basically hallucinating or near death from lack of water (ie, a real emergency), I probably would drink it and take my chances.
Another interesting work by MIT researchers can be seen at :

Yes it is available.
AWG, an Atmospheric Water Generator, is a device that extracts atmospheric water from the air. Using the condensation-cooling method, the water vapor in the air can be extracted by pressurizing the air, divulging the air to desiccants, or cooling the air below its condensation point.

Dear Researchers.
It is possible to draw water from air, with RH more than 60% and above.
Energy will be used on costs n expenses. But for emergency uses, this mode can be widely used.
We Mariners on board, excess energy being available, distill sea water when away from coasts, and use for daily water consumption.
For potable purpose, needed salts, nutrients are added to the water produce in distilled water mode..
Can add more comments..
Well wishes.
