Innovative Design for Urine Collection With all these objectives in mind, Etlin and colleagues have now designed a urine collection device, including an undergarment made of multiple layers of ...

A team of researchers has designed a spacesuit that would collect urine and filter it into drinkable water – inspired by the "stillsuits" of the science fiction franchise "Dune. " ...

The maximum absorbency garment (MAG) to hold the urine collection device. “The MAG has reportedly leaked and caused health issues such as urinary tract infections and gastrointestinal distress.

The team designed the new suits out of a flexible material lined with antimicrobial fabric, according to the study. Urine would collect through an "external catheter system" and flow into a ...

Researchers in the US have developed an innovative full-body space suit designed for astronauts during spacewalks, featuring a system that recycles urine into water. Traditionally, NASA spacesuits ...

Well, it’s about to get a whole lot easier with a new water-based contraption. A recent study confirms a practical solution to a not-so-glamorous problem of space missions – urine waste management.

The suit includes a urine collection device featuring an undergarment made of flexible, multi-layered fabric. This connects to a silicone collection cup, designed in various shapes and sizes to ...

New Delhi: US researchers have developed a novel full-body space suit that astronauts can use during spacewalks and recycle urine into water. Since the late 1970s, NASA spacesuits have been designed ...

The design's urine collection device is an undergarment (below) made of flexible fabric with a gender-specific, molded silicon collection cup (above) that fits around the astronaut's genitals.

The Cornell researchers believe they may have found a solution with a prototype “Urine Collection Device” (UCD) that could help address both of those problems at the same time.

Future astronauts could safely drink their own urine with this Dune-like device Mack DeGeurin Fri, July 12, 2024, 12:09 AM EDT · 6 min read ...
