  • I still think it’s a pipedream. The energy needed vs what you get in return doesn’t add up for me.

    I would imagin they are similar to molecular sieves. They are very porous and that’s how they trap the water. If it was easy to get out then it wouldnt trap water very well. To pull that water back out you have to really heat it up to force it to find its way out like a maze. If you where to say used black plastic, I have doubts you could get anywhere near boiling so it might be free an easy you wouldn’t be putting enough energy in to get enough water out. So you would need an external power source. No matter where (magic solar panels).

    If your going to use an external power source might as well use it to put a pump on a pipe and I would guess move an infinite more amount of water for the power used.

    While trucking water would be expensive. I would imagen these would be even more so. You have to buy them move them set them up and im sure do some sort of maintains. And if you want a long term solution look no further than Las Vegas. Where a big pipe is cheap and easy, well compared to what I would imaging what this would cost at the same scale.

    Also to my understanding many places do have some form of water but its not safe to drink. I would rather spend the money on a filter/ purification system of water than try to pull it out of the air that would still probably need to be filtered, dust is crazy.


  • Now from this it sounds like a fancy dew collector with extra steps.

    Why most certainly there is some niche uses for it and every situation is different. I highly doubt it has a real would massive scale use and when people promise the world( like pulling drinking water out of air) I think they are nothing more than a pipedream.

    I stand by a post I made here elsewhere. It would be cheeper to load up a truck with water and move it to where you need it, or better yet build a pipeline. MOF while, like I have their uses, we already have very efficient ways yo clean and move water and no supper SciFi techno babal will replace what we already use. It the same thing as data centers in space.












  • I’m sure this happens but have no proof. I have family and friends who use my WIFI and I’m sure google and Amazon look at what they search for and think maybe I’ll be interested in it as well and start showinge ads. I guessed I was going to get a chess set for Christmas because I kept seeing sets in my Amazon account but I personally never looked for one or something similar. But my mom got me one. So there is that.


  • I do not understand companies. Truthfully I wouldn’t mind product placement in video games if done right. Buying a can of coke from a vending machine in GTA or a car ad on a billboard on the side of the road of a need for speed game.

    But no advertiser’s need to pause my game in the middle of me doing shit to blast a 30 second ad at me that has nothing to do with what im doing. If they are going to collet and sell my information at least use it.




  • So someone who makes a stylised choice in formating a post to inform people of a cool person and may not know about said possible issue of the accacability, issues such as yours, is a fascist?

    Do not attribute to malice, that which could easily be attributed to ignorance.

    Don’t assume. It makes an ass u me.

    All I’m saying is you should politely inform someone of a better way of doing something as opposed to telling someone to do something. I think I know a group of people who are known for telling other what to do. I wonder what it could be.

    But go a head keep calling anyone who doesn’t do what you say or points this out to you a fascist.
