AI Summary

In Irvine’s industrial park, Atoco, a California startup, has installed a 20‑foot‑tall, metal‑clad machine in its parking lot on a sweltering September morning. The device is designed to extract water from ambient air by harnessing waste heat generated by nearby data centers. The demonstration takes place as temperatures exceed 80 °F, highlighting the system’s ability to operate in hot conditions. Atoco’s approach aims to turn otherwise discarded thermal energy into a potable water source, showcasing a potential new use for data‑center byproducts.
