  • 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.









  • While yes for the most part. It doesn’t keep me up at night. The point of washing your hands is to well wash your hands. Would you let a surgeon operate on you saying na its cool I rinsed them off? Would you wipe your ass then just rinse them off then lick them? ( wait I take that back some people are into that) Washing your hands is one of the most simplistic and easiest things we can do to help prevent people from getting sick. Its not hard just wash your hands, Jerry you already did the hard part by walking to the sink getting your hands wet now add soap and scrub then dry your hands the towl is right there.

    Also some peoples immune system is not the best thing in the world. I don’t like being sick. I feel like we learned nothing from covid.


  • I’m not sure of your intention behind your message. I’ll agree that the United Stats constitution has its flaws and I would gladly give it up for something better. Though as I see it as the supreme law of the land and as such Trump has violated its law he should be prosecuted and punished by said law.

    With the flaws of the constitution I do believe the men who wrote it where rather smart and it was written in a way to prevent exactly what is happening today. Though like many words on many documents of history they are only as good as those who fallow or don’t fallow them. ( a lifetime warranty is only as good as long as the company is willing to honour it) I wish to hold my government accountable to the very laws it says it stands for.

    As I said I would replace it with something better if I could. And I try from within the legal framework that I can. I’m a liberal, I own guns, I go to city council meetings, I vote, I protest, I voice me concerns to my Congress men and women, I have served in the military. I would join a militia but the ones I’ve looked at are very Trump oriented. I would love to live in anarchy but I do not think societies and the world as a whole would not work well that way. So a world of laws will do.

    Though it might sound like I am ready to spill blood of patriot and tyrant to refresh our freedoms. I am not a violet person and will try everything I can to prevent violence. While you may see things another way, I do not think you will change my mind on this. Though if you happen to control a foreign army I may look the other way if you chose to return the favor to Trump as he just did to Maduro. Or if you don’t control an army you are free to take up the mantle of Luigi.


  • I understand other countries don’t care or would involve themselves In the internal affairs and word play of law that happens with in the boarders of the United States.

    Though I am a US citizen and find this despicable. I hope pointing this out to people within the US who support and defend the Constitution ( those big 2nd amendment people who voted for the orange clown) Would take a look at this fool ruining the constitution and it’s separation of powers that the founding father’s fought for. Maybe they will realize that he should be impeached and tried for high crimes against the Supreme rule/law of the land. Maybe hanged for such treason. But maybe I’m hoping for to much.


  • "Section 8 ( of the US constitution)

    The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

    …( skipping some text)

    To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

    … ( some more text expanding on Congresses powers) "

    Kidnapping and capturing the leader of a foreign state sound’s like a act of war and only Congress has such power to declare War. But as I’ve said at other times the Supreme Court of the US is to busy cleaning the orange stains from their mouth with the Constitution to do shit about it.
