The Molten Salt Reactor is the premier technology for desalination, we're talking trillions of gallons over the lifetime of the reactor. I don't think it can be beaten, and this is a demonstrated technology. Oak Ridge National Lab, back in the 60's ran a pilot MSR for over 6000 hours. The MSR uses Molten Salts as a coolant, the advantage being that the salts will not boil until roughly 900*C for Salts versus 120*C for water. This enables 600*C salts to heat water into steam in order to turn turbines as well as desalinate water. The high temperature means higher efficiency power production, and in the case of desalination it allows for the heat to be used multiple times in sequence before becoming unusable for producing steam.

Where we live we've been using desalinated sea water out of the tap for years. Never stops except when pipes are repaird , which would happen in any system.

In addition this constant daily ramping up and down will significantly decrease your equipment life. This alone has doubled the price of fossil fuel generation and is 100 percent caused by and attributable to wind and solar via government decisions. There are numerous other government decisions and subsidies to wind and solar that HIDE their true cost. And that cost has no choice but to increase MORE, as the percentage of wind and solar increase, and make grid load balancing ever more difficult, and soon, if they continue to build more solar and wind, impossible.

In most cases the power we need does not need to be on-tap. Most power stations (even wind-solar) benefit from a consistent demand and few spikes in generation. While many can cut generation based on lower power demand, most then cost more to run and that excludes the strain based on frequent power generation changes. So if desalination could access power when other demand falls, then they can absorb the demand fall and access cheaper power. While water demand is pretty consistant and growing as populations rise and droughts impact, there are times (night) when power demand falls. Water can be stored for later high demand use. Many wind and solar farms are told to curtail their generation when demand falls but if small desalination plants were constructed adjacent to such "farms" or along the most immediate grid connection, they could ramp up desalination, store the treated water and then ramp down as demand rises again.

The biggest knock on effect is that of dry air. While the idea of grabbing moisture out of the air is a good one... It has a LOT of negative effects downstream. For a start the air moving on from the area that is being farmed will be dry and will tend to try to soak up the moisture from other sources... Probably plants and soil immediately beyond the farm. If these farms were to be used they would be best used near the ocean or large river/lake. Next up is the disruption of the micro climate in the way of temperature. Moisture in the air.... Clouds to you and me, prevent the heating up of the ground via the direct rays of the sun, with a drier patch of air you risk clouds not being able to form and so INCREASE the amount of time the sun is shining on a patch of ground that is now starting to dry up. This will heat up the ground area and so on. Again, this could be resolved with careful planning of where the farm could be. All in all, while I don't want to knock this technology, it can be a double edged sword. If this is poorly thought through could cause MASSIVE problems for the future. We would be better served looking to find ways to use sea water in systems where salt water is passed through plant systems allowing biomass to grow and isolate the salts so they could be shipped elsewhere and carefully kept. There have been crops like Alfalfa that have been grown using sea water straight from the ocean. A crop like that could be farmed in semi arid and even desert places like the coast of Saharan Africa and harvested and sold as it could be fed directly from the ocean rather than using groundwater that would be better served as drinking water.

But this floating evaporator idea seems to me like a simpler solution than a lot of other ways to desalinize water. The first main advantage I see would be it is passive, requiring no power source besides the sun. I've got a way in mind - guess I'd have to hunker down and build one and try it to see if it would be worth pursuing. I'm just surprised I haven't heard of anyone really giving such a basic, passive concept a decent try at all. Maybe someone has tried it and it just didn't work out. If anyone knows of such a try, please let me know here! :)

Brilliant! All of these technologies to obtain potable water from the atmosphere. Any single one may not be effective 24/7/365 for a given locality on Earth, but when used in combination, it could solve the growing problem of widespread drought. I live in the US southwest where we are experiencing the worse drought in 1,200 years and believe me when I say that anyone who is familiar with the problem is worried about the future.

A rather melodramatic... and quite incorrect statement! Happens when people take one sides talking points for granted!... If you decide to be factual, take a few minutes and ask google for the history of droughts in the Southwest. Our little 2 year drought is still a minor one. What makes it seem worse? A lot more people living in the So Cal coastal desert... creating a much higher demand for water!

@@ghorner9187 Yes, this is a minor drought indeed compared to historic SW US droughts. For over three decades we have known this day was coming and useless politicians flush the water to the ocean and build trains to nowhere. We could have solved this issue with those funds alone.

Desalination is a practical solution, hope some how we can come out something new. Nice Video!💯💯💯

This tech could be used for desalination? Saturate air with brine water, then harvest the water vapor. Or is there a drawback that prevents scaling to the acre-feet needed on an industrial/utility level?

Are you really serious I’m sure you understand how water forms into clouds in the first place Shocker it’s desalinization by nature As long as water is exposed to our sun it will evaporate and form clouds ☁️ if enough is available and has for hundreds billions of years Yet the Greta’s of the world scream and shout don’t take water from the sea Ware the hell do they think rain comes from in larger parts Some come from lakes and rivers but in a much smaller way These are great inventions And in some cases can be a asset But other places it would be much more effective just to suck it from the sea

Indirect marketing disguised as science to promote condensation products... Pathetic

the brine from desalination should be mixed with storm drain runoff to limit salt concentration before going back into oceans-also alot of rain water goes right down the drain literally- every house has gutters-- collection should be expanded with filtration and ionizers

The 1st system using 11kw/hr is too energy intensive for most residential homes. My primary home has 48 panels (from 2016) that produce 12kw/hr max but usually only produce about 80-90kw/day in summer and 50-60kw/day in winter. That's enough to power the house and a Tesla M3 and only pay the grid tie-in fee. But can't imagine needing 264 kw/day (11kw/hr x 24 hr) to produce 8 gallons/hour or 192 gallons/day. Not sure how much water a household of 8 uses in a day (probably less than 192) but the energy requirements are too high and would require 100's of panels.

I still don't get why people are so surprised and wondered with water condensation. Drying up the atmosphere doesn't sound good thing for climate.

This tech has nothing to do it that. Only way to "dry up the atmosphere" would be to somehow block all sunlight so Earth freezes over. Not just a small ice age like we had 20000 years ago, I mean full ice cover all the way to equator.

I think we need to go back through all the shelved disregard tech from last 800+yrs and give it all a second and third look. This needs to be done because electric cats are not the answer when you have millions of people cooking and heating with dried dung an twigs. And this needs to be a global effort, China and India will never get on board, but their ancestors technology sure could help. What it all boils down to is we need to be better caretakers of the land and MUCH better recycling because a lot of energy is being thrown out-wasted. I could go on an on just be careful lots of propaganda with the whole climate thing. P.S. Fossil fuel is a HOAX but if you check out the modern science crude oil and natural gas are primarily made from sea water and plant matter, and the planet does it a lot faster also

Earth is made of 70% water hey??? I think you're pulling numbers from a hat. Maybe you should have said the earth is covered with 70% water. 99.9 % of the earth is actually mantle, rock and iron

How about having heating coils boiling seawater in giant 'kettles' and the steam being directed onto coolers on land? Wrap the coils in some flexible material that can be inflated to crack off any build up of scale.

Desalination is tried and tested and doesnt do too much harm to the environment if done correctly (dumping salt back into the sea is a big no no). Passive systems that are erected once but keep on giving are still preferable and if done on labour alone, like in India and Africa with those trenches and wells, they dont need any energy to be completed and only need a little of maintenance every couple of years.

Buy a common De-Humidifier stick in your basement or any other moist humid air and you'll have all the water you want. I used to empty the collection bucket which was 2 gallons, twice a day, sometimes a bit more when the humidity rose.

I hate when people don't get to the point. I'm not sitting through a history lesson just to find out what the discovery is

You could put the hydro gel sponge thing near the contaminated waters and it would filter it through the air. I wonder what contaminants if any could travel all the way threw the process to the drinkable water in the end?

In an air conditioner water wapor get condensed on evaporator which is clen water. If the evaporator keep clean and the water is collected it is drinkable water which we are wasting.

What effect will it have on weather patterns, rain? Some things are best left alone.

Imagine one day they use this to provide clean water but portable where It can be easily carried around for personal hydration.

I have long been a believer of desalination! This beats all!

1. High-tech solutions often come with high-tech prices. 2. Most high-tech solutions are still in development, and would, if left to stand alone in real-world circumstances, clog within days/months. 3. High-tech solutions often require resources that are not available to most people at a local level, making it easy to create a haves/have-nots situation and a perpetual debt fiefdom _a la_ profiteerism/late-stage capitalism. 4. What we need is low-tech solutions that can be achieved with a simple recipe that allows anyone with a few simple tools to create a water collection farm. Anything else is asking for serfdom and overlords.

So if I put a collector on the condensation drain of my AC unit I won't need to buy the expensive machine that does the same thing and doesn't cool the house at the same time. The rate of extraction is about the same on humid days.

The best thing would be to develop a filter to filter sea water using perhaps graphene filters to separate salt from water then you’d have an almost unlimited supply of water

Running one of those AWGs off solar power will require $30,000-45,000 worth of solar panels...whose production and life cycle isn't all that "clean". Not sure that beats desalination, where salt water is available. At some point, we have to recognise that some areas are NOT habitable by large numbers of people.

If it could make humid places cooler I am all for it.

Thing that wasn't mentioned after the water turns to a vapor and rises. The higher it goes into the atmosphere but colder the temperature becomes thus clouds form and the water vapor gets heavier and turns into a thicker and thicker cloud until the vapor is no more and it's actually ice when it falls it heats back up and turns into liquid. And there's morning dew which they showed as when they mentioned viewpoint humidity is how much water is in the air. The dew point is how hot the water is in the air.

How will this effect atmospheric water collection down wind? Is it safe to say that there is enough lower tropospheric turnover to bring water to large areas of a middle continent before mixing with other air masses?

Any type of water can be used for Cavitation energy applications and provide free purified water as exhaust.

Simply use solar power to refrigerate to external surface so the condensation forms on the surface. You only need some humidity in the atmosphere to collect it. Regards.

Wow! We've discovered the dew point and condensation!

In centra fuge a seperation of heavyweight particles really clears the water faster and seperation is completed. Love compassion for all Daniel Ash

Food grows where water flows. Here in California [Kommifornia] we waste most of our available water. Environmentalists have legislated to release water to the ocean so fish can swim upstream. It's not like we can't build more water reservoirs.

At 6:20, it says: consuming xxx kW per hour. Should be simply kW which is a power, and power is an energy per hour. kw / hour would be joules per hour^2, which doesn't make much sense.

until you realize there is a reason why humidity is required in certain regions to sustain life.... these kinds of things are what causes unexpected droughts in the first place... and desalination is still required for boats to travel with minimal loads... you don't need a super purified water but a simple desalination that doesn't remove all the minerals is still very useful out at sea on a boat...

Every air conditioner and heat pump collects water out of the air. That water is collected free as the units are run to condition the air. Could large systems also collect the water economically?

There is no magic bullet in technology. These can be used but also desalination systems can be used. One potential benefit of desalination is it displaces water from the ocean and moves it into interior parts of landmasses which could slow marginally the rise of sea levels. Not enough to help unless desalination is heavily used but it could give people time to adjust.

Now if a large enough group of fund holders really wanted to aid the atmosphere, i have a project in mind to increase atmospheric moisture levels, which should reduce drought. Massive floating sponge islands in the major oceans. My idea is to grow fibrous material (preferably one that can grow in salt water). During its growth, it begins to add moisture into the atmosphere. Once big enough to harvest, sun dry it, weave or into mats with a buoyant, degradable material, then begin deploying in the oceans. Over time the goal would be for these natural islands to become self sustaining and to contribute positively to the local ecosystem, while increasing atmospheric water evaporation. Unlikely to ever happen without a major shift in our thinking though.

Once we become the water we will be the water. Go with the flow everyone must sustainability we must attain.

One small problem is, with the floods sea levels will rise faster, so desalination, is the only way, to address the. Besides, the new desalination plants can give us cheaper renewable green energy and also, makes us fertilizer for our farmers, to grow food for a hungry world! Up to 900,000,000 gallons per day, ends rising seas fear!

TREES are free Cooling System. 🤔🤔🤔

A 75 gallon tank of water takes 73 hours heat up time. to do evaporation collecting the basement or a draft draw in pipeing manifolds to small then up to attic and manifolds up there go back down lowering attic hot spots.

desalinization is reliable and not a danger to the environment And.. collecting vapor from air... is even more energy intensive than desalinization. Most of the ones pushed through kickstarters have shown to be vaporware or very very very inefficient. Most people cannot wait days to get water for 1 meal.

I have one of those in my basement its called a Dehumidifier.

Air to water systems are just like kitchen appliances.... To have one or two machines in your home or office can help reduce your costs of water city services. Someday even cars will have portable air to water systems for the driver and passengers to drink. AWGs are good things to have in your homes and offices.... Someday even farms and ranches will have all the water they will need....

If you are extracting water out of the atmosphere air in one place mean another place will not be receiving rain water naturally?

Historically past time seen coastal settlers fill sea water into basins and allow the sun's heat to evaporate the water away.. fine to get salt as you're end product... But to have ability to extract salt as waste and maintain pure water, Now that's something else. Thom in Scotland.

This could play havoc with the water cycle and lead to very complex problems for the environment. Rain will become rare and forest could turn into deserts.

In some places not emptying reservoirs out to the sea would take care of the shortage problem

When one seawater desalination plant can give us 300,000,000 , yes three hundred million gallons of water per day! It use this process, to generate as much renewable green energy of 12.5 nuclear power plants per hour. This energy is as cheap as dams provide. This freshwater is able to siphon water to Death Valley and the Salton Sea in California without putting harmful waste back into the seas, allowing us to not hurt sea life. As a side benefit, these plants make fertilizer for farming!

There was an article the other day, mentioning perfluorides, so no rain water is safe these days.

The dew point is he using the dew point has the condensation point that creates the dew that you see on your morning early morning grass or on your glass of ice cold water in the heat.

Though we don't live on Tattoine, any public systems in arid climates are a distant pipe dream. Desalination should recieve primary focus.

In 2014, Moses West invented one of the first, if not the first AWG. It's not surprising his name wasn't mentioned here.

The only problem is you are still taking water out of the water cycle. This will have the same impact as taking the same amount of water out of a river. There is no "free water from nowhere"
