Design schools need to stop convincing their students that they are engineers.
These people have an inability to understand the difference between form and function!
I think this is a big part of the problem.
No wonder most engineers either work for or running a company making and selling working stuff and barely seen on any crowdfunding platforms.
TRUE
Sorry, time for a realitycheck here. You are making the wild assumption that design schools do that. When the exact opposite is true. I have a degree in design from a very renomated art school. Not a single time during those four years has it ever been suggested to me that i'm able to solve all the technical aspects of a project myself. Quite the opposite. I have learned very precisely what fall within my scope of ability and what not. Engineers are good at what they do. I'm good at what i do. That's why i work together with people of projects. Like almost every designer out there. In a hundred thousand designers you might get one idiot who attempts to design a project like the waterseer or solar roadways without an electrical engineer or a physicist on his team. Sure.. that's an idiot. Doesn't mean that the other 99'999 people with a design degree are that unprofessional.
I love how the waterseer went from a way to help the extremely poor in the developing world to a massively overpriced, off the shelf dehumidifier sold to hippies in California.
Its almost like doing science on hard problems is expensive and time consuming, who knew.
@@KingOfKYA I suppose it would be hard if you had no background in science and didn't attempt to understand the problem you were trying to solve. I think it would have been courteous to figure out if your proposed product violated and universal physical laws before asking people to hand over their cash.
Like TF said in this video, it only required a few basic calculations to show this product wouldn't work as advertised, and they had more than enough time to figure this out (TF and others essentially spelled it out for them). This was a scam, plane and simple.
... that's destroying the environment with electricity over use
The joke here is of course also that a lot of those people could be helped by simple things that are common sense and comparably low tech.
It was ALWAYS a virtue signaling plan for rich assholes. They do this all the time.

@@ADAM96667 now they say its to water plants. Which is the most expensive way to water your plants. It's like heating your house by burning money instead of buying wood.

As a product engineer working at the bleeding edge of tech product development: it's people like this, promising the incredible, who make it nearly impossible to get a bleeding edge project funded when it is merely rigorously credible.
Really though, you could just use all the excess electricity generated by the solar freakin roadways to power these. Or, alternatively, you could put a thousand Waterseers on the top of a hill and let the torrent of water running down generate the energy to run them. Or just instal a few perpetual motion machines, and all is bliss. I mean, if we can simply ignore thermodynamics, anything is on the table.

Wow, came in expecting a debunking video - wasn't expecting a basis for legal action against a company.
Today he earn his name
*MEGA*debunking. The kind that leaves protruding welt marks.
ThunderFoot would have to prove that he suffered harm as a direct result of Waterseer’s libel.
The tort of libel has to be a communication of a defamatory falsehood. Here, WaterSeer has made defamatory statements to RUclips, by and through their trademark complaint which I assume is deliberately vague and was purposefully succinct in order to avoid a potential legal claim by ThunderFoot - one that would be supported by law and clear facts. Waterseer had to act when they saw Thunderfoot’s initial debunking video. And after they researched ThunderFoot and learned of the tenacity in which he has pursued other RUclips hornswogglers (e.g., Solar Roadways), they knew they’d have to play hard ball or immediately throw in the towel. Greed won, over the latter.
It’d be blood from a turnip. I doubt their legal entity has any assets, and I man any. I’d consult a lawyer to see if the owner can be sued personally. If he is personally liable and he has any unprotected assets, it may be worth firing off a letter just for karma’s sake. At the end of the day, even if Jeff Bezos made these comments to YT, its meaningless unless ThunderFoot can show he was harmed. On the contrary, Waterseer could easily persuade me that ThunderFoot has benefited from Waterseer’s false claims to YT, and also that he would even see substantial financial gain in a hypothetical scenario where Waterseer had defamed ThunderFoot in a public forum.
Now, if YT bans ThunderFoot , Waterseer’s false claims being the proximate cause of such a banning, ThunderFoot would suffer incalculable damages but have no deep pockets to go after in court. You can kind of see why immoral crooks like this fella can defame with impunity and laugh in your face as they watch you suffer - they have nothing to lose, but their business from reselling Walmart dehumidifiers at 15x cost to gain.
They’re not buying these for $200 from WalMart, either. Walmart likely squeezes this CHINESE dehumidifier manufacturer until they suffocate, getting these at $50 or less per Unit. Now, if Walmart can procure at $50, Waterseer or any other US distributor isn’t paying close to $200 unless they’re ordering a dozen units a year, in which case Waterseer would take an F-150 down to their local WalMart out of necessity, if no other reason.

Actually Thunderfoot told them what to do and they did it.
TBH quite recently I saw the article about, uh, "air well".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_well_(condenser)
"Designs for air wells are many and varied, but the simplest designs are completely passive, require no external energy source and have few, if any, moving parts."
Though it is actually a bit more complicated.

I have rewritten Water Seer's ad to make it truthful.
"Lots of people are dying because they do not have clean water. That is why we make an expensive gadget that can provide everyone with dirty water."

Shit, this is amazing!
10 years ago when I studied engineering, we had an english class. One object was to "invent" something and make a patent application. It was just about the patent application, the use of technical terms etc. ,not about the invention (you cant invent something within a few hours, right?)
People came up with ridiculous things like a nuclear driven pen and things like that, it was entertaining bullshittery and every group tried to invent something even more stupied than the others!
I swear, my group practically came up with this, only slightly different!
If you ever asked yourself how all the bullshit we see today came into existence:
Design students probably find things like that in the garbage cans of technical english classes for engineers and think they found something huge and world changing!
Man you gave me a good laugh!
Yes. I ran a class like that and even though it wasn't the point I would still point out the bs in the ideas
Berkley Engineering's involvement in this is the saddest part of this whole story.

I just read Dune. Now I know where they got this idea from. In the book, it was the Freemen that created water sinks that would capture water from the air by channeling wind into underground chambers that would condense the water vapor into liquid water and then store the water in those chambers.
No, they just saw dew, and thought "We can do it!" because they are technically incapable.
In defense of the berkly students, I think there are very few engineering students who wouldn't take the opportunity to get course credit for just saying slogans and stuffing a dehumidifier in a new shell
I work on a lot of air conditioning systems. If you have ever seen what is in the condensate drains on them... No one with any sense would drink it. Waterseer and Theranos belong on the same page.
And Juicero
Jizzero 🤣
The condensate would be only affected very minutely by any airflow anywhere on or around it. The stagnant pools is what the nasty comes from. In the drip pans on ac systems there is not a constant flow of the water it drips and pools to the level to reach the drain where it will only leech out whats above the level of the drain hole which is usually like a centimeter or two which leaves the water to stay there. It doesnt get exchanged by the new condensate because the water pooled on the bottom is stagnant and no mixing takes place.. even in the newer efficient units that generate triple the amount of condensate and the large pumps that push it to the sewers get covered in that multicolored thick gooey mold even though they drain every hour or so.. the water still sits in those pools and bits of the mold in the drip pans migrate to every part in the system. If you stuck a filter on that crap it still wouldnt be drinkable in my opinion. Youd have to destill or rev. Osmosis or something.. even if the filters do remove 99.9 of the nasty those filters would need changed a lot...
One objection i do have though is that if uv light is introduced to the drip pans, as long as the material is uv resistant, no bacterial growth will occur so yea. There are hundreds of little things like that which solve issues but will not get introduced to the public as a commercial design because people want to keep people in the dark for money... there is a bioengineered grass that will not grow taller than 2 inches and stays green year round, grows in any climate and can be produced for a fraction of a cent per a large amount of it.. but the project will not get granted any approvals from big brother because federal laws that got made by oil companies to protect their sales. The amount of gas and electricity that is spent on mowing the yards is rediculous as well as the lawn care industry so this grass that is cheeper than any other and better than any other will not ever get released to be sold.. what about photonicinductions idea of occupying a 2.2 sq km area and coat it with copper which if done right would use the earths own magnetic field and rotation as a generator. That idea works and has been tested.. and a 2.2 sq km area would be enough to totallypower new york if refined and all... the fuck is that at? Its simple and fact is it works... but nooo. Build a nuclear reactor there that we dont quite know totally about it all but do know the potential of a possible failure which can make an entire plot of land unusable for over 100 years... we are the video games of the National leaders. You can raise any creature in solitude and teach it only certain things which makes it predictable of the creatures journey through life.. fuck people... too many godamn people... too many bad people...

Thank you for the video! I would like to mention: what is in big demand in rich societies is the feeling that you are paying back to society for your enjoyment of life; unscrupulous people tap into this psychological need and supply peace of mind for big bucks, while covering their tracks quite nicely with legal jargon and small print. When a part of society keep themselves intentionally dumb for aesthetic/emotional reasons, they cannot really complain that they are scammed of their money, can they?
That’s an incredibly accurate observation, I’ve never thought of it that way. Absolutely spot on though.
Imagine using 2kW of power, 24 hours a day, to water a small patch of lawn.
Don't worry, the power for the lawn water is provided by the solar freakin' roadway.

And you probably would not even be able to water your lawn. Remember that the numbers for water/day are for 80% relative humidity. Below 30-40% relative humidity, you won't get much water at all.

Wouldn't taking another companies product and repackaging as your own device be a "Trademark violation"?
Probably not. Trademark law is actually quite specific. Buying products and repackaging them for sale is generally legal (e.g: Redbox).
Depends usually there is an agreement between the companies. For example a lot of generic products in stores are bought from the original company and packaged under a different label.
It depends. Sometimes the company specifically caters to people who want to repackage/resell the products (custom t-shirts, chinese gamer chairs with different logos slapped on, greeting card art, etc) and theres usually an understanding in the agreement that the product is going to probably have no trace of the original manufacturer/designer. But a good parallel here would be, oddly enough, Scientology and their production studio Golden Era. Golden wanted to make a deal with...I believe Sonio? To market Sonios cassette tape player with their own Scientology lecture tapes. Sonio refused, so Golden took apart a cassette player to figure out how it worked and then mass produced that inside Scientology as their own work. Never got into any legal trouble afaik but in that case it was to a very specific demographic and only a handful of people had any idea what happened. Incredibly illegal though, and a lot of Chinese manufacturers do the same thing but can usually get away with it because of China's lax copyright laws; unless youre willing to push HARD, you ain't getting shit done in an international court.
Going back to Waterseer, TL;DR fuck yeah massively illegal
Might border on patent infringement
@@PointsofData nah, it's not illegal to use subcontractors.
The lawsuit will likely revolve around misleading claims, but even that is highly unlikely because their actual claims about the product are spot on.

For 2000 years mathematicians struggled to prove formula for all the roots of polynomials using only addition & subtraction & multiplication & division & root extraction.
When Ruffini first proved that no such formula exists for quintics, and Evariste Galois gave the groundbreaking revolutionary theory that explains exactly when a polynomial can be solved by algebraic operations only, proving once & for all that there exist no formula for all the roots of a polynomial with algebraically independent coefficients over Q,
mathematicians since Ruffini & Galois moved on from this theory & built upon it.
They did NOT tried to endlessly reprove or re-find a general formula for all roots of a polynomial. Unlike these students who should know what has been PROVED impossible FIRST before embarking on a quest.

RESPECT!
Congratulations my friend for those amazing debunk videos.
Keep the excelent work
yes 1400 usd, very affordable to 3rd world countries.
For narcos peoducing "clean" money
In 2017 they said will give 2 for under privileged countries for each one they sell. Have an air of caution of the bullshit barrier the've demonstrated though.
@@glenbrockwell9362 They can only give out two? I bet they'll feed water to thousands
Waterseer raised 337,405 USD on Kickstarter. Are desperate water scarce regions going to get 337 Waterseers? Nuh-Uh.
Why, oh why did Thunderbolt bust those underwater breathing devices, just before he really needed them?
I hope _Thunderbolt_ had RCDs installed otherwise breathing wouldn't really help him anyway.
RIP Thurnderbolt.
I have designed a version of the Waterseer for use here in England, I have tested it by leaving it in the middle of my lawn and it regularly produces a gallon of water in under 24 hours...
I have named it "Washing up bowl" !!!
Carry on the good work! We need more people like you.
A lesson I learned is: If there are only animations, it´s probably a scam.
If this would really work, it would be easy to prove. You´d just have to dig a hole in the ground, put a metal pipe in it and watch what happens if you pump air into it. That would take maybe a day of hard work (for the hole in the ground), a metal pipe with one open end and an air pump like the ones you use for an aquarium. That should cost under 100€, including the shovel.
So it would be easy to get rock solid proof instead of just animated videos. But there is no proof, despite the fact that it would be really easy and cheap, if it would work. I just can conclude that is because the "Inventors" (the scammers) know fully well that it doesn´t work.
Ungläubiger!!! yeah, if you have some real footage then it must be true. like with that idea about generating power with water vapour moving towards the cool end of a vacuum pipe. They have the turbine spinning on camera there.
@@Bradley_UA even if they use actual footage you still cant trust it. Always do research before putting your hard earned money into it.
Dude cool name, whats its origins and meaning?
"If there are only animations, it's probably a scam." Wait! That's not true...
If they are promising animation as the product, not a scam. :P
@@darthrevan454 Ungläubiger means non-believer.
Dang man, you beat that kickstarter to the ground last time, and now you come back and shoot it in the face.
Brutal
awesomefacepalm and set it on fire, lol.
I rewatch this from time to time. Like an old friend who has your back!
3 times RUclips has just unsubscribed me from your channel out of nowhere, but on the brighter side I got to watch 8 new videos. Keep up the good work you are definitely one of my favorite Scientists and debunkers.
Too many people are trying to collect water with condensation instead of finding a more efficient method of making seawater safe to drink.
That would be a worthwhile invention.
There are acouple more energy efficient methods, but no cost efficient methods... water is just too cheap to pump out of the ground.
That wouldn't be a worthwhile invention because it's already being done. Seawater desalination systems are available at all scales: from small units for use in sailboats to big industrial installations: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination_by_country
We already have revere osmosis.
However, don't hold your breath. A new bullshit method could well show itself in a few years when the condensing water fashion becomes passe for all the sandal wearers and gullible fucks. Scammer's gonna scam ya know.
But yeah. I totally agree. It is fucking shameful how much money is being wasted and fleeced by these dishonest, disreputable, disgusting bastards.
They know most folk are as dumb as stumps and twice as gullible, and not just everyday Joe's. Just look how easily these snake oil peddling wanker's with clearly bollocks schemes can get into bed with and even awarded accolades from often seriously prestigious institutions and Universities.
There are far too many ignorant management, administrators and bean counters in charge of things these days. The priorities are totally skewed and many of the people making too many decisions have little to no idea.
It really seems to look like no one actually gives a fuck. Lip service and pretence appear to be mostly in evidence.
Nobody is trying they are just scamming money :) its proven unviable long ago
If you want to collect sea water as drinking water efficiently what you do is dig holes, line them, then catch this stuff that comes out of the sky from the sea called RAIN.
The even bigger scam here is that he is a Microsoft certified systems engineer. He is the equivalent of an Indian tech support scammer.
I had to get a Microsoft WIndows Server Administration certificate a few years ago to close off a course in server administration. The certificate exam didn't require almost any knowledge of server administration, what you had to remember for the exam was the location and name of various features and checkboxes in the GUI, and also several completely arbitrary sequences of steps to reach totally impractical goals. They would literally ask "what's the name of the tab in the administration window where you can click on the button". Thanks to Microsoft, I am a professional certified in clicking the correct tab.
I remember asking my dad and workmates about the microsoft certification, they laughed and just pointed to the manuuls they had and said if I could finish one I would know more than someone that does the course to be microsoft certified. Then they told me that most companies in the industry know they are BS and never to work for a company that mentions it in any of their recruitment. Thank you NCR (now owned by AT&T).
I love dripping sarcasm served on top of a reality salad. This was so freakin funny
Six Sigma Black belt, A black belt being the symbol of a perfected skill, only requires you to score 580 points on a 750 points test AND allows you to easily cheat in privacy? that's hilarious, surely it's not a recognized status?
Unforunately its a real thing, the company i work for suck on that teat and have a dedicated "continuous improvement" department yet i still struggle to get parts delivered from the storeroom 30 metres from where work in less than a week and if you want it today its considered "special request" , what a joke.
Yeah, pretty sure that’s a bullsh*t basically-counterfeit certificate not worth the paper it’s printed on, like a degree from a diploma mill.
Its one of those Micky Mouse certification executives have all their employees get so that they can justify their executive position and salary. So when the Executive board gets together to evaluate one another, they can get a pat on the back for wasting company money on something no one will ever use.
@@cquiroz7874 I seriously want to throat punch one and then say "what? He said he was a black belt! I thought he would block it!"

@@madtabby66 WTF I've seen some ridiculous resume requirements but why is that a thing?
I can't believe that butthurt waterseer CEO scammer tried to get your videos taken down for being honest!!
They went full scammer.
I think they were rather trying to avoid ARTDOU finding out they're selling their re-packaged machines as part of a scam scheme.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. -Orwell
@@Blazs120gl I wonder if it voids the warranty if they put their box in a box? Or harms the efficiency of the product. Maybe just putting the box out in the open without the outer box would improve efficiency. They should do some research on that and see.
@@darioinfini At this point, I can also imagine that they just have bought the internals from ARTDOU directly and put it into their own shell. But nonetheless, they seem to be willing to fly under the radar. I consider all this as an exit scam. Money's gone, no presentable prodcut.
Excellent take-down! I hope your video is shared widely, particularly the part where you compare their "design" against the $200 dehumidifier. That to me is the best demonstration of their dishonesty.
Don't you know? It's 2019! All you have to do to make money is design something incredibly trivial in your $300 printer and shoot a video of it!
Thank you for helping to keep them honest Phil 🤩
You did a great job on building up to that joke at the end, I seriously laughed out loud on that one!
Their website is worse than websites I was designing at University in 2006. And the amateur hour on leaving the WordPress hello world blog post 🤣🤣🤣
I love how quickly this was flagged to not be able to make ad revenue when these people committed fruad.
I love that they stuffed the tube with dollar store steel scrubbers 😆
And this is why I sneer at Berkeley, it's a University thats been utterly taken over by a particular ideological group and people attending the University and applying to Berkeley know this and you can see the effect of the echo chamber on their STEM teaching.
The amount of people who don't realise indiegogo is gambling and actually assume they can demand a refund is really depressing.
To quote The Incredibles: “I thought you could use the water in the air?”
“THERE IS NO WATER IN THE AIR”.
Did you watch WHERE he said that line?... OBVIOUSLY there won't be water in an environment like that.
There IS water in the water (humidity), but to get usable drinking water from it? That's a big NO.
Dm So Dude, this scam tries to sell this in desert environments. Trust me, there ain’t no water in that air (or barely).
@@LetsTakeWalk I'm sure there are a couple water molecules somewhere. Like 3 or 4...lol
Actually, there could be water vapor in an area with a fire in certain conditions. Combustion can produce water vapor.
@@escapedcops08 During that scene Mr. Incredible throws one guy he was carrying into the air and you never see him again.
13:24 THey filled their tube with scouring pads to provide a condensation surface! Top quality engineering right there!
So... $50 peltier device + plastic tubing + $10 of scouring pads. Asking price: $1000!
Add in 4 years of supposed "R&D" and you will get to 1k USD :D :D :D
You're paying for all that innovation. : ]
Yah! A CHL comment spotted out in the wild!
Hey! It's my favorite batshit swatter! How have you been CHL? We had a flatard join the ranks at our shop, he had to ride with me all day. Guess how long before he imploded. 😂 Keep up the good work!
Well to be fair they used a LOT of scouring pads.
this maybe a bout a year late comment but YOU sir are amazing at this! your doing the world a favor! imagine the people who where thinking about buying this then someone shows them this video! your doing great work you get the point across and in a great and entertaining way :)
love how they are 3d printing items you can get in a hardware store ...
Tore Nyland if you’ve already got the printer, it can be cheaper to just print them
I would have thought re-packaging someone else’s product and selling it a highly inflated price is actually the very definition of fraud...
They likely just import off the shelf working parts from China at less than $200 per item and then 3D print the plastic cases for them.
It looks more like they just slip the sleeve over the top.
Repackaging and selling for a profit is the very definition of capitalism, I see nothing wrong with that. But making extravagant claims that your product cannot meet, that is pretty shady.
I think it's the opposite that is the definition fraud. Taking your own product and re-packaging it as someone else's product (couterfieting). Companies resell and rebadge other products all the time (usaully with agreements from the manufacturer and then also offering value added service such as support or warranty).
To be fair, their latest product seems to have correct specs.

Water from air is not impossible
Its just hideously inefficient
I had to maintain dehumidifiers in the 650 shop at MALS31 at MCAS Beaufort as a Lance Corporpal in the Marines back in 1997. It's simple technology, but it takes electricity to drive it. And no way in hell would I drink the dank ass water that bucket filled up with! Not unless someone broke it down and defungicided the hell out of it every few hours! It was always gummed up with mildew and funk! We just dumped it outside to keep the avionics shop protected from corrosion issues.
You can have "water out of air" with fog catchers. You just need some fabric and pvc pipes. It's used on Morocco, Peru and Chile, in arid regions with foggy weather.
Of course you can. No one is actually saying that you can't get water from air. It's just impossible to create a device that will collect water from air that is running of solar or air power and is small, cheap and easy to install and gives you amount of water then claim it gives. It's just selling overpriced bullshit
The worst thing about the WaterSeer is that even if it worked it would still be terrible. You are talking about room temp standing water in areas with mosquitoes. Not to mention the difficulty of regularly cleaning it so you don't have mold constantly growing in the reservoir.
R.I.P. Thunderf00t that was awesome! Giving me a much needed laugh!
Hello from Albuquerque. Thanks for the relative humidity stat's.
