Brings a Whole New Meaning to "Sucking a Tailpipe"

New Scientist has this article summarizing what sounds to me like an awfully propeller-headed way to get a portable source of water:

Parched soldiers could one day drink from the exhaust pipes of their jeeps, trucks and tanks, thanks to a gadget being developed by a British defence lab. It harvests water and then filters it until it is drinkable.

"But officer! I wasn't speeding, I was just thirsty!"
