Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@FizzleFX says : Let's say this works. Let's say everyone would have 1 or 10 of those. Let's say they suck every drop of water out of the air. Do you have ANY IDEA how bad very dry air is for your lungs?!>> <<@AntoineWalterDWW says : So, it turns out SOURCE is now... dead it seems! So, finally, thermodynamics caught up with Source's claims. I did a round up of the "death" story right here, if that's of interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQDWrLDPBuM I thought, this would be an interesting third part in the trilogy, after your "Zero Mass Water - BUSTED" one and this one! Thanks a lot for your great coverage and cutting through the fog with both of those videos, by the way! Exposing vaporware for what it is.>> <<@snatchinyopeople says : der's ah... heavy lack a egucashen...>> <<@beaumontlivingston8084 says : MIT hasn't done a thing viable and worth acknowledging since the 80's. They're not the top of anything anymore.>> <<@markTheWoodlands says : WTF is up with MIT and these water scams that conflict with basic physics. They had that "magic green laser" that produced a "photomolecular effect". Now they are giving awards to stupidly expensive dehumidifiers. They should be embarrassed. If they want to save us from water shortages, why don't they focus on drip irrigation.>> <<@SanjabarRogers says : It reminds me of the stepvan salesman saying the top speed of my stepvans is 75 MPH . The small print reads top speeds achieved only while going downhill .>> <<@dejjjavuu7455 says : People are using SOURCE Hydropanels (have been for a couple of years) getting perfectly clean water (cleanliness measured) at calculated $.90 cents per Liter. Stop spreading bad fake news. Some people can benefit from good info.>> <<@zoraneuro says : they must be fucking stupid, below Sahara are the most water on planet, you need to dig 200meters below but fuck it>> <<@MrKfadrat says : for couple of grand you could move their villages closer to the water source>> <<@RodCornholio says : I have a well, well-pump, water tank, booster-pump system. There is A LOT more that needs to happen before you enjoy your "running water", folks. A bit more if you want hot water.>> <<@RodCornholio says : The science is valid but the business proposition is sketchy at best. The likely customers I imagine: charities (which will donate them to poor areas...very likely unable to maintain them) and rich people with a home in the desert or who, for some reason, can't have a solar-and-battery powered WELL system. I'll buy some if A.) they don't have moving parts B.) I have money. For "off grid", SHTF purposes, having a robust/durable means of water production is critical.>> <<@mainarbor8416 says : 600L a day? That's ridiculous. So your saying 1 person can drink clean water with 1 panel a day for 5 years for $6k. In the desert. Not $600k>> <<@mainarbor8416 says : I can tell you the exact water quality of distilled water 🙄>> <<@ahoneyman says : Wait, this soinds oddly familiar. I think Luke and his family did this on Tatooine.>> <<@ArizonaDeserteagle520 says : This is just the beginning!! Look how far telephones have came in the last fifty years! Non fluoride water out the Air..The human race just leveled up!! ✝️✝️✝️>> <<@nickk6518 says : Indigenous Australians perfected survival in the arid interior of the continent LONG before Europeans arrived!!>> <<@RoarOfWolverine says : In areas where water is scarce, that also includes suspended in the atmosphere. That’s why rain forests do not have scarce water. It rains a lot there because the atmosphere is saturated with water. They don’t need to spend millions in research when I can do a simple experiment with a glass of ice water. If I capture the condensation collected by the glass of ice water in Florida and collect the same condensation from a glass of the same ice water in Arizona, which glass do you think will collect the most water? If I wanted to spend a bit more on my research, I can run a dehumidifier in Florida and one in Arizona and which will collect the most water in a day? If you picked Florida, then congratulations, you have a functioning brain. Places, like Florida, where there is a a lot of water suspended as humidity, are not the place where water is scarce. It’s because water is so abundant that the humidity is so high. Places like Arizona is where water is scarce and where it is needed the most, but the air is quite dry and will take a very long time to extract any quantity of water out of it. This is fifth grade stuff, so why is there seemingly a new dehumidifier, claiming to get water from arid regions being crowd funded every year? Fontus, Water Seerer and several others that Thunderf00t has busted and yet next month there will be another one being advertised and yet they’ll probably raise millions making the same bogus claim as the last one. I wish I had all of the money thrown away on these dehumidifiers. What happened to the good old fashion days of water gills that took oxygen out of water using bicycle handle grips? It was deadly and stupid, but at least it was different.>> <<@americantruth9001 says : Gill Bates from hell just bought this company. This means the materials inside will cause you harm like everything he touches. I will make my own. May the odds be forever in your favor.>> <<@ВалерийВовк-ш8ц says : Let's look at some numbers. Since this panel does not generate water, but extracts it from the air, the amount of water will depend on the humidity of the air. Let's assume that the humidity is 30%. At this humidity (and a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius), 2 gallons of water are contained in... 841 cubic meters of air. Most likely, the panel does not extract all the water from the air that passes through it. Let's assume that the panel extracts 50% of the moisture from the air. Then, to get 2 gallons of water, 1682 cubic meters of air must be passed through the panel. On average, 1 cubic meter of air contains about 100 micrograms of dust. In less dusty areas, this figure drops to 5 micrograms, but in dustier areas (for example, deserts) - up to 1000 micrograms. But on average, it is about 100 micrograms per cubic meter of air. If you pass 1600 cubic meters of air through the panel every day, then the unit will get... ummm 58 kilograms of dust per year. Of course, some of the dust will come out. But some will remain. Let's say half will remain. But 29 kilograms of dust is also a lot. Where will this dust end up? In the collected water? Most likely - no. Most likely, there should be a coarse filter there that will collect all this dust. But... how often should it be changed, if we assume that 29 kg of dust needs to be collected (80 grams daily)? Perhaps some of these 29 kilograms will remain inside the panel. So... won't this reduce the panel's throughput? Will fungi and colonies of other microorganisms appear in the panel? And 29 kg of dust is an indicator for an average dustiness of 100 micrograms per cubic meter of air. And what will happen in regions with a dustiness of 1000 micrograms per cubic meter? The most important thing is that replacing the filters does not seem so cheap.>> <<@mikegrindstaff says : Could be useful on a sailboat...very humid on the ocean but no freshwater...and currently I have a water maker that make freshwater from saltwater, but that system takes a lot of power and starts at $6000.>> <<@peterbiznar9678 says : just move where the watter is lol>> <<@casperyourfriendlyghost7552 says : Does produce lube also from it always screwing you>> <<@ben3251 says : It is a dehumidifier with a filter run on solor. Solir is getting cheaper. In remote places this is a giid options it works in the dryiest places. And if you hook it up to storage tanknor water tower the extra eachbday will collect. This teck is good it expensive because its not mass produced and panels are getting cheaper plz be open to ideas of clean water most people do not have that and many live on remote places. So stop bashing if yiu think its not great plz come up with something better that works for remote places that can not get well wayer>> <<@Gernot66 says : basically every speculator who sucks out the planet and the ppl. fine discusting how they use the imaginery of poor to advert for a money machine which is a cause for their starving, yech🤮>> <<@andrewbatts7678 says : It's gonna benefit poor brown people?? HONEY, GRAB MY CHECKBOOK!!>> <<@andrewbatts7678 says : Mark Zuckenberg>> <<@pauljelismoesman9563 says : He it is well known to drink distilled water i directly dangerous for you.>> <<@Hj61S827 says : Saw my neighbors getting one today. We are all off grid and no well. It’s also high desert in Az. I was like uhhh, it’s 8% humanity most days, 98% at night… but they don’t run at night… Turns out these guys suckered Arizona into granting 800 double units to people without access to water…So I’m getting mine next week, thanks tax payer!>> <<@roberthoward5789 says : I reached out to them for a greenhouse project, and they said a minimum order was 16 panels and cost approximately $70,000. I told him good luck on their business and I understood why they didn't answer their phones.>> <<@Penguincannon9000 says : Here we go again again again>> <<@marcinf6324 says : Yesterday I saw an article about them on a tech news portal. Modern journalism sucks.>> <<@Iowcatalyst says : I knew it was hot in America but 3.7 litres seems a lot to drink every day. The recommendation in the Uk is just over half that.>> <<@timo4463 says : 600 doesnt Sound that Bad I know a Guy who paid 702 for one>> <<@6teeth318-w5k says : 17:13 is he a hippie? Strange wristband or is it to look " Hipp " . ROFL>> <<@6teeth318-w5k says : I live in Denmark.on an old farmhouse, which has no land. We had our own well, for 10 years. Then colibacteria was detected by the water inspector. We was givin 1 month to get it fixed or the well would be closed. The cleaning would cost about 5.000 dollars, and the company could not guarantie that the e-coli would go away. So we decided to get attached to municipal water. Much more expensive, but we had no choise. Imagine there was no water inspector, we would have been drinking E-Coli infested water. A small number of people with E. coli O157 infection go on to develop a serious condition called haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). This can sometimes lead to kidney failure and death, although this is rare.>> <<@gdutfulkbhh7537 says : "A fool and his money are soon parted.">> <<@csnipper524 says : The only thing that you shouldn't be skeptical of in this case is that intelligence and wealth are not related to each other. Also you shouldn't put aside doubt and skepticism if your brain is screaming that this is BS.>> <<@csnipper524 says : Lupe was right on one point, there is an obvious lack of education on how we get water. Problem is he and this group are also affected by this lack of education.>> <<@sergiodominguez9558 says : Humanity has gotten to the point where we can't create anything new. Everything that's coming put is a version of something else that already exists. We has reached our peek. Reinventing the dehumidifier is like Musk with his new hyperloop tech. On paper maybe in practice won't work. Humanity has hit out high point. I'm certain of it. Just based off how much bs gets pushed out onto the market.>> <<@Slave_2_liberty says : But that said I always knew that the amount of electricity that to run it would be a problem. I do want to remind people though that the water that we do drink from the city is pretty poisonous there's no need for fluoride in the water and even now America has started shutting down putting forever chemicals into the water supply>> <<@Slave_2_liberty says : Thanks for breaking this down. I worked on a weed grow for a while and we use dehumidifiers and I always thought wow these things create a lot of water if you had one in the desert it would work.>> <<@JackHarm0 says : Anyone that recognizes the game reference gets a cookie>> <<@6teeth318-w5k says : Poop from thin air.>> <<@MrShanester117 says : Just being pedantic but you don’t actually need to drink 3.7 liters of water a day. You need 3.7 liters of fluid sure, but most of that comes from actually eating food.>> <<@jnelson1113 says : go do something productive with your life; sitting behind a screen, scrutinizing other peoples hard work & ingenuity is quite scummy>> <<@jnelson1113 says : cant knock a man/ company for developing a product & trying to profit from it. Your a kook>> <<@serketenglish5963 says : I literally just saw an ad for this thing and thought of you.>> <<@JabelldiMarco says : Where did that announcer get the "1000 year drought"?>> <<@BryanKrauss-u7y says : They set it up for communities with 100s of paanels and its the government pays for it these people are genuies and you dont know what clickbait is>> <<@robert-wr9xt says : It is amazing how scientifically ignorant people are. Have a nice week Thunderf00t.>>
