YouTubers Create Functional 'Dune' Stillsuit That Recycles Sweat

Hacksmith Industries' innovative project demonstrates real-world application of sci-fi technology, turning sweat into drinkable water.

  • The stillsuit, inspired by Frank Herbert's 'Dune,' captures and recycles sweat and breath moisture.
  • Hacksmith Industries used a thermoelectric cooler and a clean-room suit to achieve the design.
  • The suit features a heat exchanger and a CamelBak system to collect and filter water.
  • While the prototype works, it leaves out the recycling of urine and feces.
  • The project highlights potential future applications for space travel and extreme environments.
