We’re leaving the grid behind to live off the land and research sustainability. In this episode, we have to figure out how to get water when there is none - so along with an assist by Kevin from KZfaq’s Modern Self Reliance channel, we’re creating a ten meter high Dew Harvester and a rainwater collection system. It’s part of asapSCIENCE’s brand new series with KZfaq Originals designed to help us all meet our sustainability goals and to combat Climate Change.

I grew up on a farm. There was no such thing as tap water. We had a pair of 10,000 gallon tanks few from rainwater and a dam that pumped water into another 5000 gallon tank that was for watering gardens and showering. Even in Australia where it can go 8 or 9 months without rain we never ran out.

@@LITERALHAT we're in Sydney now so no rainwater. We had an 4000m2 block about 2 hours from Brisbane previously with a huge shed and about 40,000L rainwater storage. It watered the gardens and lawn. Its illegal to use it in the house without a fairly expensive filter system that makes it taste nasty so it's only plumbed into the toilets and washing machine. We once went 11 and a half months with no rain and it ran out so luckily we had the town water hook up as well! On the farm we had a 5000l settling tank that we would fill with dam water and lime and make fresh water if we got low. It worked well but wasn't fun to clean out the silt!

Are u down under somewhere? Here in Sth. Australia, almost every home had a rainwater tank, then new developers moved in, and didn't replace them.

Ironically the panels can even degrade BECAUSE of the sun hitting them too hard with dem deadly laser. Basically speaking, solar panel technology hasnt progressed far enough for it to be used by just about anyone atm. Maybe in the far future, solar panel rooftiles would be a common thing, but right now, it's not exactly feasible.

Next step is to put a barrel on the roof, then pump the water up to that barrel from the rain barrel so the gravity feed into the cabin is under higher pressure. You won't have to pump while taking your shower. Then add dark panels to the roof to act as solar thermal collectors and run the water from the roof barrel through tubes zig-zagging through the solar collectors to warm it up so you don't have freezing showers! You could also it a float gauge in the barrels and run a string into the house so you can see at a glance how much water you have in either barrel. I'm an ideas kind of person but have never done anything like this, but it would be so much fun to work with you two on this stuff! Loved the video!

like a bucket at the bottom that fills and pushes down one side of a seesaw, attached by a bar that lets it rotate, and eventually gets past a little bar or something that causes it to tip and dump all its water into a bigger bucket or tub, which then lets the seesaw tip back up and the weight on the other side thumps something attached to the mesh and shakes it. could also build it so it collects in multiple buckets on seesaws all that thump a thing that shakes the mesh, so you get much more frequent thumping.

Exactly. By the time the water drips from the top to the bottom it will have time already to evaporate, even faster if it's windy. It would be ideal in the desert with no wind at all or if it was closed with air restriction and control.

@@notablediscomfort That kinda sounds like how a shishi-odoshi (scaredeer) works. Except instead of the bamboo making a bonk sound, it shakes the mesh. I'm not sure if it would help but I suspect vertical V-shaped channels would also be a better form for the mesh than just normal rope fibers. I believe that once a droplet grows to a big enough size, surface tension would give way to the droplet sliding down the tiny channel all the way into the basin. In that way, they would be shaped and function like grass leaves. Also it should be stacked in layers like a bookshelf, each with its own collector, that way the dew doesnt have to travel far to be collected.

For ur experiment, u need more surface area at the top, aka the place of condensation. Might also help to insulate your collecting method. That way you get drain and condensation from the material that u used to collect water. See, you can even use condensation at night to collect water after hours. Just insulate the bottom and keep the moisture at the top, so u can get the most out of ur exprmnt.

@@v-2010 in the night time it actually cools down alot. And in the dawn the cold plastic, attracts the water of the air. Since warm air is more water containing than cold air this works well and creates droplets in the netting. Example for this. If it's cold and you breath into the air, your breath is warmer and therefore more water containing than the cold air, wich then creates a cloud of microscopical sized drops, that don't really have the density or size to fall. The cold air then neutralizes the "water" in the air to go back to the "agregate" of gases. (Dunno if thats written the right way, but i wanted to say, the mini water droplets get temperaturely neutralized back into the air.)

I doubt you’ll see this but another good idea to add to your rain water system is to have a big container (like a kiddie pool) under the shower to collect that water, and the same can be done with the water you are cleaning your dishes with. Though you won’t want to use it to drink or anything like that, you can use it for water plants or rinsing a surface.

Wait for July. Go to Houston. Turn on an air conditioner. Seriously, I had a gardener friend in Atlanta who owned a small house with small yard and small gardens. During the drought and water crisis that gripped the city some years ago, when there were severe restrictions on the use of city water, she was able to keep some of her most vulnerable plants alive and even retrieve extra water from the air which she could use to flush toilets, all by diverting the runoff from a large window AC unit. She said that the situation had been so dire that restrictions had been placed even on AC condensate, but they never got round to regulating window units. I suppose that’s probably because the condensate from those units is not typically plumbed anywhere; instead just allowed to drip out of a small hose in the back. Your video reminds me of how some of the poorest people in the world get hot (or at least quite warm) water, primitively plumbed into their homes via gravity, much the same way water towers work. During the monsoon seasons of Africa and Asia, at least in the parts where I have traveled, people catch as much natural rainwater as they possibly can. On the roofs of their houses, or else on a raised platform if the roof cannot support it, there will be two tanks, one of which is painted black, storing water that is piped into the house below. In each neighborhood, people will share and pass around a pump or two to keep those tanks full, and of course the black one soaks up the sun’s heat and provides warm water for bathing and cleaning, so they don’t need to burn so much fuel heating it.

If a plexiglass box was installed around a black rain barrel with the top sealed around the top of the barrel to allow rain through, the bottom and halfway up the Plexi painted black and copper tubing used, not only could water be collected in the winter, but it would be warm. Also, a separate plexiglass enclosure with the bottom painted black could be attached with a large copper coil inside to heat water and collect condensation from the pipes. Black is heat's best friend.

@Dmon ! for nuclear it does depend on the style of reactor, there are many. Also a new reactor that uses spent fuel would also help things along

@NotDuncan 2 жыл бұрын

@Dmon ! The waste issue is why a next stage reactor is necessary, a wave form reactor could potentially used spent fuel from other reactors and reduce the waste by a significant amount. Again it depends on the style of reactor we’re talking about, this isn’t a cop out this is called a fact. This isn’t to berate renewables, it’s like you said it’s part of the portfolio. I’m not sure your level of working knowledge of nuclear technology, so I can’t comment on that much. Calling it a pathetic cop out does suggest your knowledge base is low though.
