There's nothing wrong with your project, I just don't see any real-world utility. >once we modify the AWG to achieve water reclamation from urine, would that be considered novel? Not at all. It wouldn't even be a "Atmospheric Water Generator" anymore. You would just be putting an evaporator in a closed space with your condenser... This isn't a new or novel technology, and it's already available for public use. >Not just knowledge of chemistry, but actively developing eyedrops to cure cataracts :) That's really cool, and I am not doubting her credentials, but it has nothing to do you with your AWG. We're talking about a device that condenses water vapor into liquid water. If you have access to Freon and and a pump (or even ice cubes and a glass) you can achieve the same thing. Again, I don't take any personal offense to what you're doing. I would never invest in it because I don't think any amount of funding would ever turn this project into a success. It doesn't even address the real issues behind water scarcity, which has nothing to do with a shortage of liquid water... |
Can you point me in the direction of this project? I'd like to see what the current implementation looks like.
> (or even ice cubes and a glass) you can achieve the same thing.
We're trying to do it at scale and improve on the technology.
> real issues behind water scarcity, which has nothing to do with a shortage of liquid water
Can you elaborate on this point?
