a device for absorbing atmospheric moisture includes a support member with a net extending therefrom . the net includes a super absorbent polymer that has the property of being able to absorb a multiple of the polymer mass in atmospheric water and to thereafter release the water in response to an external stimulus . the device is in this way reusable . the device has particular application in the clearing of fog , manure odor clearance , and collection of potable water in remote locations . a process for extracting atmospheric moisture is also detailed that includes the step of extending a super absorbent polymer net into contact with an atmosphere . thereafter , with that being in contact with the atmosphere for a sufficient amount of time moisture is absorbed from the atmosphere . the application of a stimulus to the super absorbent polymer containing atmospheric moisture causes the release of liquid water therefrom . the super absorbent polymer is then suitable for reuse to again absorb atmospheric water .
