http://thespiritscience.net/2014/09/02/the-water-tower-that-creates-water-from-the-air/<snip>
The device is called Warka Water and it has the capacity to generate up to 25 Gallons of water PER DAY simply by sitting in the hot heat of the desert. Now THAT is impressive, especially considering the whole scare of an impending drought that is currently upon us.
The magic of Warka Water however is not just that it generates the water, but HOW it generates the water. This device ultimately harnesses a singularity to pull water from the air through condensation, creating clean and drinkable water for those all around.
Im not even kidding. It uses a singularity. In order to describe this, let me show you a quick video about what im talking about.
In the future, we can imagine making use of much more powerful singularities to do all kinds of things, such as levitation or even teleportation but in the mean-time, this is a perfect example of what im talking about.

(14,733 posts)but I'm wondering if the emphasis on 'singularities' is a bit buzzwordish here.
Unless I'm missing something far more 'sciency', all they're saying is that the structure creates a lot of points at which moisture in the air can condense more easily. Which happens all the time in nature - dew in the morning, condensation on glass, stepping out of an air conditioned car on a muggy day, and your glasses steaming up.
So is there something more complex and quantum going on with this structure, or is it simply designed in such a way that it creates a multitude of small thermal differentials to allow condensation to occur?

(47,953 posts)Creating would be taking O2 and some source of H2 and combusting them to form water. And I hate the use of the word 'singularity' it is not correct and sets off my grifter alarms.
Sorry to be a science nerd...

(146,317 posts)No singularities are involved in condensing water out of the atmosphere in this device or any other device. Not in any way.
Further, this is not the only device that has been designed to condense and collect atmospheric water. Here's a starting point for investigating them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator

The video does not explain anything scientifically. Rather, it misuses scientific concepts in inappropriate and inaccurate ways. "Spirit science" is not science at all, it seems.
YouTube is not necessarily a reliable source for scientific information.

Octafish
(55,745 posts)You have used terms like "woo" or "conspiracy theorist" when disagreeing with a poster. With Naomi Klein, you wrote she was a "bit of a drinker" in college. Don't you remember?

SidDithers
(44,228 posts)Are you pretending to be a reporter?
Back to the OP...
Are you so fascinated by the mysteries of condensation, that you think a "singularity" is needed to magically "create" liquid water from water vapour?
We're not talking crop circles here. This is pretty simple stuff.

(55,745 posts)You called him a number of foul things. So asking what makes you qualified to criticize what others write about science and medicine is a legitimate question.

(55,745 posts)That's why I asked you: "Did you graduate? If so, what's your degree in?"
That way I can better discern truth from falsehood regarding what you post.
Don't take it personally.
edhopper
(33,580 posts)can see the "explanations" in this video is just blathering garbage.
They extend the definition of singularity to become meaningless and the device has nothing to do with black hole singularities.
In other words, woo.
That is not to say the device is an efficient water condenser, which has nothing to do with relativity or quantum mechanics.

Octafish
(55,745 posts)As for the singularity video: Amazing stuff to think about, malaise. Those interested in thinking beyond the basics may be interested in Bob Toben's Space-Time and Beyond, which talked about black holes (and white holes):
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/94093.Space_time_and_beyond_
One thing I find interesting is how many of the new theories introduced to the general public by Toben in his conversations with Fred Alan Wolf and Jack Sarfatti in 1976 are now entering the mainstream of science.

What they don't tell you is how expensive it is to find droids who understand the binary language of moisture vaporators.
