Rain Collector

Put in empty jars, they fill when it rains. Dependant on weather, and probably need to be a bit big.

Mainly because there's some fairly large stretches with no Oxygen vents, which makes it hard to make water.

I think it would be interesting to collect rain, but looking at climate and environment, I really doubt that the rain consists of water. It seems to be some acid or some other liquid, but not H2O - at least not pure H2O, probably contaminated.

I agree, it hardly is water when sometimes during rain outside temperature is 80°C +

i feel like there would also need to be a filtration system becaus you dont know whats in the air when the rain falls down.

Well yes, you would probably want to distill it after. If it's that warm, though, the dew point would be pretty high, so a fairly simple dehumidifier would yield a lot of water as well.

That, or even out the oxy/hydrogen vents so there's no huge oxygen-less zones. Reacting hydrogen and oxygen strikes me as a fairly inefficient way of getting enough water to drink, as it produces a LOT of heat...
