A set of scientists who run a YouTube channel dedicated to scientific innovation invented a Stillsuit that recycles sweat. They were inspired by the novel and movie Dune, making this groundbreaking innovation possible.
This stillsuit is useful in water-scarce environments like deserts. It can recycle both sweat and urine and produce drinkable water. Let’s have a close look at this newly invented Stillsuit.

How is it made?
They made a suit covering the whole body, collecting all body fluids including sweat and urine. They used a thermoelectric cooler to make it cool inside the suit. Otherwise, the wearer could not wear it for a longer time. They manage to create a functioning system to collect the urine and sweat from the wearer.
Their team member, Sherk wore the Stillsuit and tested. He drank purified water through a tube. They uploaded that successful Stillsuit testing video to their YouTube channel recently.
Who made it?
Hacksmith Industries is a growing YouTube channel dedicated to engineering research and innovations. They take inspiration from movies, novels, and comics to create real-world prototypes.
The owner of the channel is James Hobson. He quit his engineering job and found his YouTube channel for innovations. Hacksmith team makes mind-blowing innovations inspired by novels following their passion. These guys made the Stillsuit possible in 2024.
Inspiration From Art
“Dune”, the epic sci-fi movie gave the inspiration for this innovation. In that film, there is a desert planet, called ‘Arrakis’ where every water drop is precious. In Arrakis, people wear a fully-body-covered suit called a Stillsuit.
So, to sum it up
Hacksmith engineers plan to improve this Stillsuit. Scientists state that this can be used in water-scarce environments. In addition to that, environmentalists highly praise this innovative attempt since it helps to conserve limited water resources.
