    Arturo thanks for the great work you are doing there. I wish you could do the same for my people back in my village here in Kabula ,lyantonde district in Uganda. Please teach me how to do this and I go teach my people so that they can stop to travelling miles to get water.

    Spider webs also capture varying sizes of droplets, magnfying the size of spider web pattern and using the same net concept might magnify water droplets collection. (just a random thought)

    Unlike the Waterseer, this doesn't claim to do anything magical. They carefully pick sites that have the right conditions of fogs and night condensation and collect it.

    • @luttekikker
      @luttekikker 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It's not about the knowledge that is the biggest challenge (or "magical"), it's about convincing the local people that 1. you have good intentions 2. gain so much trust that they actually will
      adapt your technology (especially when they are resistant against new technology).

    But he doesn't say how it worked?
    How many liters of water is it able to extract out of the atmosphere on a span of how many hours? Does it vary depending on the weather? Does the height affect the amount of water collected? Nothing. It would be nice if he could explain further. Or if anyone else knows a document of his full research, i would love to read it.

    • @charonstyxferryman
      @charonstyxferryman 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That is not possible.
      The water is only collected during nighttime. In daytime the sun will dry the netting meaning algae can't grow there - there are no water in the mesh during daytime.

      Carloslealmusica:et al. IF your area gets AT LEAST 100mm rainfall per year you can do rainwater harvesting. "Google" the term rainwater harvesting and enter the words in TH-cam and you will get plenty of practical advice on a technique that has been used in drylands for thousands of years. I use the method here in Mexico!

      I've never seen a chemical equation with "fire" in it. What is "fire" in your equation? Is it made up of oxygen and carbon somehow? I ask because how do you have carbon and oxygen on the second half of your equation. Where did they come from? Also, what happened to the nitrogen? Where did it go?
