I wonder if these guys realize that if you suck up all moisture from the air, it will be pretty dry and you will need the same amount of water to replace the water you displaced

Where’s my noble peace prize for blowing up kids in an Iranian school? 🫲🍊🫱
When I looked at condensers in the past, they weren't incredibly energy-efficient. I suspect that it's cheaper in the long run to do desalination and build a pipeline to wherever inland you want freshwater, unless you have very limited-in-scale need.
This (seemingly) solves some issues in places like Africa where warlords block or destroy delivery systems to remote villages. Also fixes disaster recovery where pipes are destroyed or water systems are contaminated
More of the same huh? Heres how it goes in 6 steps:
1 Draft marketing plan 2 go public w/some shares for sale 3 Announce prototype and launch marketing strategy (ie plaster Nobel laureates name all over the product and drop adds on social media) 4 drive market value up 5 sell shares and get rich 6 you've sold out and gotten rich, company dissolves because it was all a hype machine. (Not a real solution machine, or it'd have sold those real solution machines instead of purchasing ad space.)
Replace w crypto currency if u wish. Same lies.
