Aquaria Named One of Time’s Best Inventions of 2024

Water shortages are hitting closer to home every year, especially for families dealing with well failures, droughts, or sky-high water bills. But what if your home could make its own clean water—from the air?

That’s exactly what Time Magazine recognized when it named Aquaria’s Atmospheric Water Generators one of the Best Inventions of 2024.

And for good reason.

Water Is All Around Us—Literally

Even as water becomes scarcer on the ground, our atmosphere holds an unbelievable 38 million-billion gallons of water. Aquaria’s technology taps into that hidden supply using a high-powered heat exchange system that pulls in humid air, filters it, and turns it into purified, drinkable water—on demand.

From Air to Faucet: Now Happening in Real Communities

Aquaria isn’t just a cool idea—it’s already changing how neighborhoods get their water. In Hawaii, we’re supporting a $26M project bringing Aquaria units to 1,000 homes—each generating up to 260 gallons of water daily.

That’s enough water for cooking, drinking, showers—everything a family needs.

As our CEO Brian Sheng says, “Our vision is to be able to one day supply water for entire cities from the sky.”
