Does anybody knows about a material (media or cloth) that allows the molecules of water to pass through but not the air (normal air).
Thanks

no, i don't thing there is oneOriginally Posted by jp16
do you mean all the gases in the air?
Retain the air with/or any gas that is being exhaled out of the body. (CO2, Oxigen or any mix) while the vapor (water) is allowed to pass through.

i don't think we have found a material as fine as that. and wouldn't the smaller air particals such as oxygen be aloud to fit through as well
Well I would think the vice-versa would be possible because of H2O's properties. I think your idea might be possible through a multiple filter process, but not in the way you are thinking of it...
A semi-permiable membrane ??
Im not sure though.
Membranes have been used to de-gassify water for years now, but they are only small scale units suitable for laboratory experiments. Some industrial processes have to 'dearate' water to work properly. I believe this later process is achieved by (almost) filling a tank then pumping out the remaining air. The reduction in pressure causes the gas bubbles to expand and rise to the surface
For a foothold into the membrane technology see:-

It's the same. In that too the water molecules pass through pores which is air.
Also it doesn't pass through air molecules it displaces the air molecules.
