demist

The miraculous act of making your windshield stop resembling an aquarium, achieved through the shamanic power of hot air blasting and aggressive fan noise. That one mysterious button on your car dashboard you completely forget exists until the precise moment you cannot see through the glass and someone screams at you to use it.

What happens when engineers decide the air isn't sufficiently damp and deploy machines to cry moisture into it with industrial precision.
