Now there’s a claim haha

I love having the kids on my deck

Yeah exactly, don’t want to pay that price? Sort it yourself. Everyone that complained about the price of shit needs to understand this.

I’m Australian living in Australia and thought we had it.

I’ve met people with them and didn’t once get the impressions they were hard to get

Man America is wild,

Its abundance of sunlight and heavy investment in solar cell technology has positioned Saudi Arabia well in its transition to becoming a leading exporter of renewable energy. Indeed, solar energy currently makes up more than 80% of the Kingdom’s green energy capacity. However, these cells bring a twisted irony, as their operation exposes them to overheating risks. Cooling systems are therefore necessary, but many depend on electricity.

An international research team led by KAUST Professor Qiaoqiang Gan has designed a potential solution. Their device needs no electricity, as it extracts water from the air using nothing more than gravity and relies on cheap, readily available materials.

Along with keeping the solar cells and other semiconductor technologies cool, the water can be repurposed for irrigation, washing, cooling buildings on which the solar cells are placed, and other applications.

Scientists estimate that the atmosphere contains six times more water than all the fresh water in the rivers combined. “This water can be collected by atmospheric water harvesting technologies,” says Gan.

While these technologies work reasonably well, in arid environments like that of Saudi Arabia they require electricity to harvest practical amounts of water. This demand risks deterring the adoption of solar cells in rural regions of the Kingdom, where electricity infrastructure is costly.

One reason for the low efficiency is that the water adheres to the surface of the harvesting device. Professor Dan Daniel and Shakeel Ahmad, a postdoc in Gan’s group, found that by adding a lubricant coating that is a mix of a commercial polymer and silicon oil, they could collect more water by relying on only gravity.

“A common challenge in atmospheric water harvesting systems is that water droplets tend to remain pinned to the surface [of the device], necessitating active condensate collection. Our coating effectively eliminated pinning, enabling true passive water collection driven by water,” says Ahmad. “Since this system operates entirely on passive radiative cooling, it doesn’t consume any electricity.”

The solution is based on previous technology made by Gan, which he describes as “vertical double-sided architecture.” That system was originally designed to reflect thermal heat back to the sky to keep the solar cells cool but not to capture the water produced.

The new device was tested six times over the span of a year in natural conditions in the town of Thuwal, about 100 km north of Jeddah, and could almost double the rate of water collection compared with alternative atmospheric water harvesting technologies.

Along with Gan and Daniel, KAUST Associate Professor Gyorgy Szekely contributed to the study, which was published in Advanced Materials.

Along with the efficiency of the water collection, Daniel is equally excited about the economic benefits of adoption.

“The system doesn’t consume any electricity, leading to energy savings. Moreover, it doesn’t rely on any mechanical parts like compressors or fans, reducing the maintenance over traditional systems, leading to further savings,” he said.

The first fear game really scared me when I was younger. I was 16 maybe and that’s how I found out I don’t like ghosts haha.

Playing in ym room at night alone in the dark. Ghosts coming out that I can’t hurt haha

Fuck that was bad

I love reading Trump quotes, and then it cheers me up even more to think that their are Americans who eat this gibberish up like gospel.

Fuck I’m glad I’m not American

That last paragraph reads like something he’s rehearsed for when he gets lost on topic though.

Emails from a website every day? Fuck that I would rather pay to stop them (hyperbole)

Even in Australia, 2 dollars of chips as a kid was enough for my mum brother and I, especially between some bread.

Now to be comparable you need 15 dollars worth.

If I could buy it with coins found on the ground in a day and can’t now it’s gone up far too much

So certainly not a meme about the long haired house lady who is trying to defend our rights

You bring up some great points, I feel bad for not giving you a solid reply but I’ve had my second bottle of wine with my wife and am drunk.

I didn’t bring the video here to champion frost, just to let everyone see because I have seen several posts about it prior to frosts video.

I’m sure all up everyone is to blame, almost always is the case but the world will decide who is more at fault.

Either way though, Nick doesn’t make contentI’m interested in. I would rather see everyone be entirely independent and succeed or fail on their own merits

Yeah I was annoyed by the stopping starting too, but I appreciate him laying it all out.

If the video was long enough to have everything readable it would go for an hour haha.

I hope Frost keeps producing actual content I really love his videos.

My only gripe with duck fuck go is I don’t allow access to my location and can never google (hehe) shit in my town without adding extra words for directions etc

Just mix it with petrol and then you have sticky flammable substance to do with what you will

Really bot, that’s the best summary? That second paragraph has nothing to do with the article.

Arrested, charged and convicted are all very different things.

I was Arrested for unlawful entry charged with trespassing and convicted of nothing and proven innocent.

Should I have lost my job over mistaken identity?

Yeah governments hate debt but don’t realise the entire world runs in debt.

You just need to manage it correctly. Further on that though, governments shouldn’t make a fucking dollar. They’re not for profit businesses they should all run at exactly zero

Yeah the Australian Post is fucked here too.

Lose shit can’t do anything and is a bloated government service that can’t do its job.

Privatisation would fix so much right up until they’re the only carrier and we pay through the nose for post.

Better yet post as a subscription service would he the way it would go if it went private.

Yeah first thing I did
