      Also, don’t forget that pulling water from air isn’t free. There has to be a compressor inside that thing. It’ll draw a significant amount of power, make a continuous noise - like a fridge, and heat up your room a little bit - whether you like it or not. Additionally: if the air humidity in your room is below a certain level, it won’t be able to collect any water.

The amount of water we're distilling is not very much, and we're not doing it very often really. This said, it is $60 more per year than if you just replaced the water somehow, so it is less energy efficient, it's just nothing astronomical.

      Almost guaranteed it's using a peltier cooler for the heating and cooling, which is completely silent and also massively less energy efficient than a refrigeration cycle. The $1900 price should get you a refrigeration cycle, but since nobody with the sense to know the difference is likely to be fool enough to buy one, open it up and report back, we're unlikely to find out.

    The change in volume with temperature is demonstrated with tides and the use of the Plimsol Line on boats.

The density of the water also reduces with this temperature increase....thus the Plimsol Line existing.

    @Metal_Master_YT 14 дней назад +1

    The truth is, the water does expand before the boiling point. If it's getting hotter then it expands a tiny imperceivable amount. In addition to the liquid water expanding, there is a very tiny amount of water vapor formed when a particular molecule gets extra hot from collisions. It just immediately turns back into liquid water again the moment it bumps into the edges of the syringe or other water molecules since all the other molecules are cooler on average than that particular water molecule. Atmospheric pressure keeps it like this until the average temperature of the water gets hot enough that the evaporated water stays in the vapor phase for more than a few microseconds. This is when the vapor pressure reaches the atmospheric pressure, aka the definition of a boiling point.

    Condensing water would use an insane amount of energy (I think that thermodynamically, to condense one liter, your heat pump needs to extract as much energy as it would take to boil one liter dry). Compared to throwing away the solid dirt, refilling a water tank sounds like a much nicer chore, so they've just eliminated the easy part.

      although not unbiased since they gave it to me for free, I actually really like it. You don't hear a compressor kick on.

I have another good mopping robot and it actually is kind of annoying how often I am emptying and filling it. But with this one it has required zero intervention since I've had it (several months). Also I was surprised it works even in my low humidity (less than 30%).

      @@davidkrygier511 That's not really very useful information; unlike a light bulb that draws the same amount of power no matter how long it's turned on, a cooling circuit switches on and off. With an 850W rating it's probably a compressor, and that's how much (i.e. the maximum) power it uses on startup, which is only a few seconds. The constant draw is significantly lower, and of course, once the system reaches its desired temperature, or once it's collected all the water it needs, the only power it will draw is what it needs to charge the battery or keep its monitor circuit running. It could also use Peltier modules, as I wrote above, which are significantly less efficient, although 850W, if accurate, seems on the high side for Peltier modules in such a small enclosure, even with forced air. OTOH, since @TheActionLab wrote that he couldn't hear a compressor, it could very well be Peltier.

      @chitlitlah 19 дней назад +4

      Nope, no curve. Like Ben was saying, the liquid will increase in temperature until it reaches the boiling point, it'll remain the same temperature as heat energy going into vaporizing it instead of raising the temperature, and only when it's all vapor will the temperature start to rise again. So even at the slightest fraction of a degree below the boiling point, it'll be 100% liquid, and at the slightest fraction above the boiling point, it'll be 100% vapor.
      That's in theory anyway. In real life, the plunger will resist moving out exerting a bit of force on the liquid and raising the boiling point ever so slightly. This force won't be perfectly consistent as the plunger slides down the tube, so the graph won't be _perfectly_ vertical there for that and probably other reasons.

      That's a minor thing. The extra pressure only delays boiling by a small amount.
      What is happening is like this. Water has a "vapor pressure" that increases as it is heated. The atmosphere is pressing on the plunger at 15 psi. Until the water reaches 100 C, it's vapor pressure is < 15 psi, so the plunger doesn't move. After 100 C, the vapor pressure is greater than 15 psi, and pushed the plunger out.

    The 3i S10 Ultra takes the moisture from the air and condenses it into water. That is good for re-using it to mop the floor, but it will also dry out the air, which isn't really good for your well-being. It will dry out the mucous membrane which in turn can raise the risk of infections. It also can aid or even cause respiratory illnesses like coughing or asthma. It will also dry out the skin which can cause skin problems like itching or alligatoring/shingling. So, while this is technically a nice thing, it isn't really healthy for humans (and animals?).

    For condensation I was used to a different model, which relies on the maximum amount of water which air can contain. When you suddenly cool air down like with your metal, then the amount of water the air can hold decreases, and all excess water turns liquid. (Saturation vapor pressure decreases)

    • @TheActionLab
      @TheActionLab  19 дней назад +3

      yes but air doesn't "hold" water. It doesn't matter what is above the water. The same amount of water vapor will be present at a given temperature. Most people refer to air "holding" water, but it isn't correct, its just a convenient way to say it.

    @DANGJOS 19 дней назад

    Okay, at 1:51 right now and after giving it a think, you have to specify the pressure over the water. If we're at atmospheric pressure, then none of the water will vaporize until we reach the boiling point because the vapor pressure has to be high enough to counteract the atmosphere and the weight of the piston. If we're in a vacuum (with a piston of negligible weight) then there would be some vapor and it would continue to grow indefinitely at any (reasonable) temperature, since there's no pressure and it can keep evaporating (as long as you're supplying heat). So in the first case, the graph should just be flat until the boiling point.
