    Starting your video title with a double clear lie in the 3 first words "Free limitless energy" make you sound like people you do NOT want to be associated with of strongly negative or at best near zero value. CHANGE IT!!! ...if you do not want to come off as extremely un-serious or worse at first glance...
    Energy is never limitless since you can only extract and convert some of the energy that is already there and this conversion is never free since the extraction equipment has a cost to be made and maintained/renewed and usually there is running costs, capital costs, etc as well...

    At least until the nano material gets plugged up, all the more likely if there is a charge differential (electro-static charge) present. In anycase, it isn't going to be much electricity, similar to harvesting the difference in electric potential between different heights. These devices generate power on the micro-watt scale... not enough to really be useful outside of powering an ultra-low-power sensor, and they usually can't scale. Don't hold your breath.

    • @junkerzn7312
      @junkerzn7312 Год назад +2

      @@motoarzan791 Big game of telephone distorts reality. Nowhere in the original source material does it say that. Here is an exact quote from the original
      "Finally, because air humidity diffuses in three-dimensional space and the thickness of the Air-gen device is only a fraction of the width of a human hair, many thousands of them can be stacked on top of each other, efficiently scaling up the amount of energy without increasing the footprint of the device. Such an Air-gen device would be capable of delivering kilowatt-level power for general electrical utility usage."
      Now think about that for a moment. I see a ton of problems just reading the article. Among other things, these diffusers are nano-architected materials and while theoretically you fit a lot of the material in a small volume, the cost would likely be astronomical and just getting the airflow working in the first place would be difficult. Let alone keeping the whole thing operating smoothly and not clogging up.
      No actual power levels are mentioned, not even for the experiments they have already performed. Everything is left vague. What does "kilowatt-level" power mean in this context? In what volume? At what cost? How is the electricity retained? What voltages can it generate? It is left to the imagination of the media copy-and-pasting the article to fill in the blanks.
      Another quote:
      "The researchers say that the current generation of Air-gen devices are able to power small electronics, and they expect to bring the invention to commercial scale soon. Next steps they plan include developing a small Air-gen “patch” that can power electronic wearables such as health and fitness monitors and smart watches, which would eliminate the requirement for traditional batteries. They also hope to develop Air-gens to apply to cell phones to eliminate periodic charging."
      Health and fitness devices uses microwatts to milliwatts of power. The phone comment omits any mention of actual power levels.
      Now lets go even further back... back to the original article in Nature from 2020. Here is a quote from the abstract:
      "The devices produce a sustained voltage of around 0.5 volts across a 7-micrometre-thick film, with a current density of around 17 microamperes per square centimetre. "
      The only hard numbers in this entire media mess is 0.5V @ 17uA per square centimetre. 7.5uW / cm^2. That is less power than the nuclear battery fad that made the rounds last year!

    They're trying to baffle people with finely polished bull scat.
    It will only work if the water is 100% pure and if there are no particulates in the air. Under any other conditions it will become clogged very quickly, just like any other filter. It's not a new idea; Benjamin Franklin tried to capture electricity from the air, for example. And the variations of electric charge differences at different heights have even been used as a way to stabilise model aircraft. That was being being done in the 1970's, before GPS was available.
    They talk about kilowatt scale generators. But that can only be realised if the 'collector' area is big enough. The amounts of electricity available per square metre is microwatts to a few milliwatts, under ideal conditions. So a useful array would be huge, even if it could be made to work reliably. The amount of man-made Radio Frequency energy in the air is on a similar scale, under average conditions. Thermal energy at night is far more abundant.
    And I don't buy that multi-layer story for one second. How could the moist air which has had most of the electricity it contains sucked out of it via one membrane give the same amount again at a second, closely positioned membrane?
    Also, can you imagine the havoc which would be caused to this type of collector by a nearby thunderstorm? A more conventional generator system, including both 'green' and fossil fuelled ones would be far more resilient.
    It would be far simpler and more efficient to use wind power, Solar power, water or tidal power and store the excess in batteries.
    Given the need for super clean conditions, and the very low yield per square metre, meaning large arrays, would mean there is no way that such a system as this could provide useful amounts of electrical energy 'for free'.
    I have a readily available source for a large quantity of salt here, if anyone else wants to take a pinch of it for free.
    But if I'm proved to be wrong about calling this a clever example of wool being used to obscure popke's vision, and it being a way to wangle taxpayer's money out of government coffers, or funds from private companies with more cashflow than sense, then please let me know, and show me a working system which gives useful amounts of electricity at low cost. I'll apologise immediately.

    There’s no doubt that the average global sea level has been increasing ever since the world started to warm after the Little Ice Age ended around 1850. But there’s no reliable scientific evidence that the rate of rise is accelerating, or that the rise is associated with any human contribution to global warming.
    A comprehensive 2018 report on sea level and climate change by Judith Curry, a respected climate scientist and global warming skeptic, emphasizes the complexity of both measuring and trying to understand recent sea level rise. Because of the switch in 1993 from tide gauges to satellite altimetry as the principal method of measurement, the precise magnitude of sea level rise as well as projections for the future are uncertain.
    According to both Curry and the UN’s IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the average global rate of sea level rise from 1901 to 2010 was 1.7 mm (about 1/16th of an inch) per year. In the latter part of that period from 1993 onward, the rate of rise was 3.2 mm per year, almost double the average rate - though this estimate is considered too high by some experts. But, while the sudden jump may seem surprising and indicative of acceleration, the fact is that the globally averaged sea level fluctuates considerably over time.

    This may sound a bit like Maxwell's Demon, but not really. The energy being harvested comes from the Sun, which both causes the humidity in the air and gives it motion (by warming it). This research is published in a highly respected peer-reviewed journal and is not the result of magical thinking. One half volt, even if only at microamp currents, is enough for many applications (e.g., tiny distributed sensors in fields and forests or perhaps smart bandaids, etc.). The "exciting" thing about so much new R&D is what it might look like 5 or 10 years from now.

    This comment section is rife with naysaying fools who speak whereof they do not know or understand... The mechanics and the principle of this technology are clear - and more fruitful than "milliamps per tennis court area" of volume - learn before you speak, my friends.
    At LEAST those here who're _genuinely_ asking/wondering about any potential "clogging" of the device medium's pores are using their critical thinking capacities, even if they simply don't yet realize the various ways (a) around this and/or (b) of negating this as an issue/problem.

    2:15. What about water?
    I guess this:
    It goes back to the mean speed of molecules - the mean speed of molecules in a liquid is much different than the mean speed of molecules in a vapor phase.
    None of the H2O would be hitting the material fast enough to cause a charge transfer to happen.
    Pros:
    There are plenty of zeolite compounds that have this surface detail.
    This is just about the scale of pitting we can get with lasers on thin films.
    Cons:
    By definition this creates a charged surface - dust particles will cling to it and eventually block the pores.
    2d structures are all we can accomplish - we would need to create 3d materials for the power density to be worth considering as an option.
    Cool tech, tho...

    NASA - Sea Level: "Achieving an accuracy of 10 percent of the sea height would mean that for a sea height of 1 meter (3.28 feet), the accuracy would be within 10 centimeters (3.9 inches). Such accuracy was likely challenging to achieve with the tide gauges used 50 years ago. It's important to note that advancements in technology and improved measurement techniques have led to more accurate and precise sea level measurements in recent years, combining tide gauge data with satellite altimetry and other methods. These advancements have provided a better understanding of global and regional sea level changes with higher accuracy."
    Sea Level is measured by tide height. The Earth and Moon and Sun do not rotate consistently. There is wobble between these bodies that cause different tide heights in 'cycles'. The margin of error of this measurement is greater than the 'rise' we have seen in the past 50 years.

    I don't believe the ocean is rising. We can compare sea levels in the oldest photographs to levels today and they are the same. My friend was a Commodore in the Bangladesh Navy. He told me the story of an island that the IPCC claimed went under water due to climate cringe. In fact it was just silt that formed a new island in the 1980s in a cyclone. India brought an engineering crew on a landing craft to the island, which was just off the Bangladesh coast, to build a base. It was only above sea level at high tide. The Bangladesh navy rolled up artillery on land and the Indians scarpered when they realized that they couldn't hold an island within artillery range of Bangladesh. That same island which appeared in a cyclone disappeared in another cyclone. Look up the "club of rome". They admitted they were going to use climate change to take control of the population. Don't be a slave to these people.

      When water vapour forms in the atmosphere, it leaves its imputires behind. So, there is no issue there.
      As for atmospheric dust, like pollen, I would imagine it sits on the surface, as pollen grains and dust are bigger than the nano pores.

We will have to invest in tech that can make the planet colder and warmer. The climate changes and has changed hotter and colder without our input while we have been in existence. We will be able to get through it much better now as long as it's not driven by massive asteroid, or comet strikes or other natural massive extinction level catastrophe like a super volcano or nuclear war.

    What we need to know is the level of current one square millimeter of the material can generate. because an amp is a huge amount of electrons moving from a higher voltage to a lower voltage. The real power of a generator in watt comes from the multiplication of the voltage with the amperage. High volage of water vapor in the clouds results in a much lower voltage near the ground and the high power of an electric lightning comes from the high voltage multiplied by a relatively low current. I don't expect powerfull generator with that kind of device with the low voltage of the electrons in the water vapor near the ground.
