SMH
"An Australian designer has beaten 500 inventors to win a £10,000 international prize for his beetle-inspired device that is capable of extracting water from even the driest desert air.

ED: Useful when it stops raining....More than 500 homes in South Australia's Riverland will be without power for another night after severe storms downed powerlines on Wednesday afternoon. ....ETSA spokesman Paul Roberts says crews are working to remove power poles and wires from beneath large trees."There will be possibly between 500 and 1000 customers who we won't be able to restore power to tonight. We're continuing to work very hard to try and restore that power but the sheer weight of numbers of the jobs and tasks means it's just going to be impossible," he said."
