Sorry if this has been asked a lot before-- I don't visit /g/ often-- but are stillsuits possible? If so, why haven't they been patented yet?

They would probably be possible. But considering we don't live on Arrakis there probably isn't much market for them.

Or is this a question for /sci/

A lot of our planet is desert... They'd be invaluable in the Outback

Water just isn't so scarce that it would be necessary. Unless you wanted to walk around in the desert for an extended period of time, which nobody does.

I fell asleep during the movie and I never read the book(s), can you give me a quick rundown on what a stillsuit is?
>>61933597
Stillsuits prevent bodily heat regulation. Wearing one for prolonged period will probably kill you.
Filtering your own sweat and piss is possible, but there are compact filters. You'll probably need a huge backpack you could just fill with water bottles instead.

*there are no compact filters
>>61933597
because that's smell human

You could just piss and shit into a reverse osmosis filter.
