1. A method for extracting water from air, the method comprising:
pumping an air stream across a desiccant within an absorption chamber to extract water vapor from the air into the desiccant to form a water-rich desiccant;
flowing a closed air stream into an evaporation chamber;
supplying the water-rich desiccant to the evaporation chamber to extract water from the water-rich desiccant forming water-depleted desiccant and captured water vapor, wherein the captured water vapor is carried by the closed air stream to a condenser; and
condensing the captured water vapor from the closed air stream at the condenser into liquid water.
