So the Waterseer claims that its going to bring free clean drinking water to the desert, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. Up to 37 liters of free water per day, and all they want off you is $77 000! Of which they have already raised over $180 000. Nothing wrong with the aspirations, problem is the whole thing is complete BS from start to finish. The device claims its going to condense water out of the air using the cool deeper ground. First problem is that 'cool deeper ground' more reflects average annual temperatures.... which practically means for about half the year the device would not work. Then you take a look at some typical desert figures and realise that the device would only work if the dew point is at the temperature of the ground a couple of meters down. This maybe happens for a few days a year in desert areas like New Mexico. Then of course, you just run the numbers on their claim. They claim they can get ~ 40 liters per day. To condense water you need to get rid of ~ 2 000 kJ of energy for each liter. https://www.thermexcel.com/english/tables/vap_eau.htm So they have to get rid of 80 000 kJ of energy PER DAY! Thats enough energy to heat up the surrounding soil four tons of soil from 10 degrees C to 30 degrees C. At that point the device would stop working. So it really doesnt matter which way you cut it.... this is utter BS! Still not sure if this is a scam or not. The indiegogo people certainly have a lot of scammy looking projects on their Vici labs page. Many of these dont seem to exist ANYWHERE ELSE on the web other than on their Vici labs page. They certainly got University of California Berkeley involved with this. Indeed its utterly cringey to see a 'chief scientist' of an ENGINEERING center promote something that its utterly trivial to show is complete BS thermodynamically. Even worse they had a competition, with 12000 bucks prize money, for a concept you can trivially show is a non-starter! Some of the designs need to be seen to be believed! http://scet.berkeley.edu/vici-labs-collider-project/ http://scet.berkeley.edu/waterseer-collider-winners-announced/ UC Berkeley is meant to be one of the top US universities! Even worse.... even IFFFFF they manage to make this (they cant.... the thermodynamics just dont work).....they would just get sued by someone else who had the same completely no viable idea! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRteOtKqLOw Yup, university of San Diego this time! Bust a gut making this one! MANY thanks to all those who support on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t
