That was my first thought too. But they probably made a deal with the original company. In that case it would be legal, because buying stuff from others to produce your product is completely normal.

Thunder, props from movies come from everyday objects all the time. The Ghostbusters PKE meter was an Iona shoe polisher. Star trek Enterprise wall intercom was a night light, universal translater a toilet bowl cleaner. Back to the Futures Mr Fusion was a coffee grinder, it's plutonium chamber was a hubcap from a 60's car. Blade Runner's Harrison Ford gun was two real world guns mashed together (they still actually fire, apparently). It's actually quite fun spotting props
Have you seen the Ted talk about mars where they wanna use a low tec dehumidifier supposedly develoed around the 60s I think, scalable up to 100 times and capable of sustainably generate water for a single persons day in mars because of mars humidity, what are your thoughts about it?
"The Last Jedi" was an excellent Star Wars movie, as are all of them. However, I do find all the SW movies after the original trilogy to be too unnecessarily pessimistic & sad: rebels getting killed unnecessarily much, failing to use deception tactics as much as the Empire did.

Yes! Science the shit out of these films. I enjoyed your segue into the Matrix films when discussing generating energy from humans. I'd love to see more films analyzed like that.
I like the idea for the scifi videos, cause scifi introduces crazy concepts so I think the science would get interesting. I think you'd just need to navigate making sure it's clear you still like the movies and are just having fun with it, to not piss off the fans, and I think you'll need to work on your acting a bit if you're gonna play a character, or try to make the character a spinoff of yourself, like Mad Scientist Phil, Mad Mason, something like that.
In the USA, assembly counts as 50% of production, which is enough to qualify the product as US made. Hence they can buy the dehumidifer unit and tube from China, stuff the dehumidifer into the tube in the USA, and presto, legally made in the USA.
For the lifetime calculation for regular water you assumed a lifetime was 65 years, but in the Waterseer's case you assumed it was 70 years. It seems like you're exaggerating the facts in your video without actually disclosing that you are.
They're at it again: Researchers at the Technion Institute of Technology and their partners in Africa have received a prize for the development of a technology that creates water from heat, which aims to provide clean water to third world countries. The recipients of the newly set up Mauerberger Foundation Fund (MFF) Research Award for Transformative Technologies for Africa are Prof. Yehuda Agnon, Associate Prof. Mark Talesnick and Asst. Prof. Guy Ramon, along with Leslie Petrick of the University of the Western Cape in South Africa and Mekelle University in Ethiopia. Also receiving the award were three NGOs: Technion’s Engineers Without Borders (EWB), South Africa’s FLOW and Ethiopia’s Drop of Water. The scientists have developed a low-cost system powered by renewable energy to extract water from humidity in the air. The technology is different from other techniques that generate water from air in that it converts heat into mechanical power in the form of an acoustic wave. This wave acts as a “virtual piston” that is capable of performing a cooling action. The technology does not require electricity, as it uses only local heat. The Phase Exchange Thermoacoustics (PXT) technology developed by the Technion researchers is thus “a candidate for low cost, small scale conversion” devices for rural and developing areas, said the Technion’s Ramon.
It could be like a mix of Cinema Sins and Because Science with a Thunderfoot delivery! I love this idea. I'm sorry for the comparisons, just trying to build a quick visualization.
China use lead solder in the dehumidifier it is so risky consume water from a dehumidifier especial the cheap ones plus all the mold on the tubes and inssides. ...props from Portugal
Here in Indiana we use something called a rain barrel and it does not require any electricity. Actually water is so plentiful that I rarely use the minimum amount of water on our water bill. Actually the sewer portion of the water bill cost more than the water. That is only reason to use a rain barrel, to keep the sewer portion of the bill lower if you water your plants a lot.
When it comes to movies using funny props, next time you watch Star Wars, look at the seatbelts in the Millennium Falcon, they're lined with bubble wrap. Normal packing bubble wrap. It was used to make them look "futuristic".

spend $1000.
I'd be happy to part fund the purchase of a single unit for thunderf00t to take apart on one of his videos, if anyone wants to go in with me
Yeah.
Thunderf00t, I am bit curious. After last 6 years of working in Czech Republic, did you learn some of their language or are you simply comunicating with everyine in english (or in grunts and wild gesticulations if thats your preference)?
At this point, I'm just holding my D out expecting Thunderf00t to go on a terror rampage on of these scammers. Like John Wick, but a whole lot scarier.
Thunderf00t
has really been knocking it out of the park lately with these Waterseer videos, and the ones about that damn HBO show
There are laws about misusing the 'Made in America' sticker. Someone should buy a Waterseer, open it to confirm it's pedigree and bring them up on Federal Trade Commission charges.
Isn't there a village in China called "America" so you can say "Made in America" without problems or was that something I read on Snopes?
@@stylesrj There are several versions of that myth. Unusually it's "Usa" village in Japan so the label can say made in USA. But they are myths, and even if not and even if the products were literally made specifically there it means nothing. Everyone knows what the label is supposed to mean, and if you don't the flag is a bit of a give away.
12:22 "Your WaterSeer Distributer [sic] can provide you additional information on water safety and how to assure the water your [sic] drink from any source is safe and healthy."
Scammers always deliberately put errors in their text to weed out the idiots.
thunder foot. you should do videos on bad science in movies for sure. I'd watch.
when we were learning about the water cycle in elementary school somebody asked shy we didn't just get our water from air
our science teacher laughed and explained why that was stupid
A series nitpicking Hollywood puedo-science .... I'm down with that.
I’m double down for that!
You'd love the scene from Alan Moore's Miracleman where the titular character and his wife test through his powers, and when MM throws a huge boulder up in the air and shatters it on his head, his wife points out that even if he is indestructible he'd still be driven underground by the force of the falling rock, so clearly he isn't simply stopping a falling rock with his skull because he hasn't sunk to the grassy ground in the slightest from the impact.
Also calculate how many calories Ricky Ho uses in Story of Ricky.
Yup... people are blindly looking at their own social norm to solve 3rd world problems lacking the social norm in the first place...
During the intro... I though about slotmachines😁
The Pseudoscience Slayer..
That's a superhero who's movie(s) I could sit through (wait.. I've been doing that for a few days).
Lets start a kickstarter to get thunderfoot enough money to buy a one of these babys and crack it open
I stopped watching thunderf00t videos about a year ago. I came back to see if he's made any interesting content.....and he's making the SAME videos....debunking the SAME products....he was before I left. Jesus Christ.
I'm sad but it's true. And he stretches me videos mostly 5 times longer, because he repeats himself all the time
@@supercunthunt7756 This is why I just play the video in the background when doing something else, I miss at least 50% of the information that way but everything gets repeated.
Wow Thunderf00t I would absolutely LOVE it if you'll make videos exposing bad science in movies!!
Thunderfoot,
I love these videos as much as everyone here, but they are always so negative. There is nothing wrong with that but it would be cool to see a positive video from you, maybe something about new technologies that do work.
Poor people have no access to clean drinking water so we invented a way to get expensive water unfit for consumption.
Poor people have no access to clean drinking water, have to walk miles through dangerous territory to get to the watering hole. Fortunately they all have access to unlimited electricity and water filtration facilities .
Wait a second
Are they specifying an **indoor** rated piece of equipment for **outdoor** use?
It has a tube.
... a 3d printed tube!
...proudly printed in the USA
Hence the 3D printed 1200$ tube that comes along with it! Can't wait for someone to receive one unit, dismantle it and press charges for fraud!
@@Bourinos02 I'm pretty sure there are laws in the U.S. that protect you even if you open electronics that have a "warranty void if opened" label. It's a big deal with cellphones and computers.
New idea - combining the groundbreaking technology of the Waterseer and the Morus, I present the - Dehumidryer . Please fund me. Thank you.
Takes spilled water from your clothes and turns it into fresh drinkable water. Africans need this so they can finally drink the water they spill on their clothes. The Dehumididryer!
The moment you use that food grade dehumidifier, your energy bill will shoot up just to get a cup of water.
Thunder you should also check out ElectroBOOM if you didn't know, awesome guy and also a big buster of 'free energy' scams 👌
T H E R E C T I F Y E R
space wizards? SPACE COMMAS is where its at, am it right Catz fans??
Right on ,myman!
I'm absolutely up for the bad movie "science" series! See if you can poke some holes in The Expanse, I think that just about sets the bar for realism in sci fi, but I haven't bothered with any boe calcs.
Do a series on debunking BS news stories, I would watch every one! I'm not really interested in movies.
He would be sued by Fox in 2 sec.
@@larsgadell5016 I would be more concerned for VOX, BBC, VICE, Motherboard, Buzzfeed, CNN et al, they are on 24/7 crusades to destroy their ideological opposition, dirty dirty smear merchants and conflicts of interest beyond repair.
@@95TurboSol and Fox isn't?!
This would be much better than movies, but after a few videos would TF still have a channel? He might get away with it hitting local news channels, but the majors would never let RUclips encourage such freedom of speech. I think he'd get hit-pieced far more aggressively than they did to Pewdiepie. Some might think this is all the more reason to do it, but it's up to TF if he wants to take the plunge and stand up to the corporatocracy when it could mean risking everything.
@@northernnaysayer1240 Out to destroy people? Not that I've seen, fox is just a biased corporate network with conflicts of interest, I haven't seen calls to violence, doxing, and incessant coordinated smear campaigns to destroy small independent journalists and content creators. I hate all MSM and don't watch any of them but Fox is objectively the least biased of all corporate media, the numbers have been crunched on it, which sounds ridiculous but it's true, really shows the state of news when they are the most objective, mainstream journalism is dead IMO.
Thunder, props from movies come from everyday objects all the time. The Ghostbusters PKE meter was an Iona shoe polisher. Star trek Enterprise wall intercom was a night light, universal translater a toilet bowl cleaner. Back to the Futures Mr Fusion was a coffee grinder, it's plutonium chamber was a hubcap from a 60's car. Blade Runner's Harrison Ford gun was two real world guns mashed together (they still actually fire, apparently). It's actually quite fun spotting props
At this point, I would watch anything from you (apart from your political video... No offense) ^-^
wow some one respectfully disagreeing politically? Is that even possible? lol
I would love the everything wrong with movies but with a science angle to it 🤙🏽😬
No matter what you post I will like... I subscribed during your why do people laugh at creationist series...they were awesome.
Have you seen the Ted talk about mars where they wanna use a low tec dehumidifier supposedly develoed around the 60s I think, scalable up to 100 times and capable of sustainably generate water for a single persons day in mars because of mars humidity, what are your thoughts about it?
300k and they cannot even buy a decent soldering iron. I would be hitting JBC up if i had that kind of money !
"The Last Jedi" was an excellent Star Wars movie, as are all of them.
However, I do find all the SW movies after the original trilogy to be too
unnecessarily pessimistic & sad: rebels getting killed unnecessarily much,
failing to use deception tactics as much as the Empire did.
Don't give Elon chan any ideas, he may help fund this and bring it to Mars to solve water problem!
Don't you worry, they have their dehumidifier already: ruclips.net/video/LfrlfYQw_d4/видео.html
Damn Elon the surfacist. Venus is so much better than Mars.
I might be an idiot here, but isn't 80-100 gallons of water a day an absolutely ridiculously large amount?
Americans, huh?
People are quite thirsty these days, with global warming and all
It is!
I think here in Germany - Central Europe and by no means technologically behind - it averages out to about 120liters a day. It used to be higher in the 90s and has since shrunken down.
32 Gallons it is...
kniefi yes i’m in france (western europe :p) it’s around 150 liters
Yes! Science the shit out of these films. I enjoyed your segue into the Matrix films when discussing generating energy from humans. I'd love to see more films analyzed like that.
@wearealltubes Yeah, despite the fact the target audience was computer literate. The producers just figured everyone was as simple as them, lol.
I like the idea for the scifi videos, cause scifi introduces crazy concepts so I think the science would get interesting. I think you'd just need to navigate making sure it's clear you still like the movies and are just having fun with it, to not piss off the fans, and I think you'll need to work on your acting a bit if you're gonna play a character, or try to make the character a spinoff of yourself, like Mad Scientist Phil, Mad Mason, something like that.
First
This one got it. Congrats you get an honorary GOLD poop spoon.
In the USA, assembly counts as 50% of production, which is enough to qualify the product as US made. Hence they can buy the dehumidifer unit and tube from China, stuff the dehumidifer into the tube in the USA, and presto, legally made in the USA.
At 8:30 and 8:50 it should be "9.4 gigawatts" and "half a gigawatt" respectively.
Too bad that doesn't change the magnitude of the scam.
Oops! It’s still way too f*cking much even with that.
When you say life saving humidifiers, you mean a kettle right?
Americans don't have kettles because they run on 120v which isn't enough for a kettle.
@@dracaulas4skin674 what? yanks don't have kettles? I knew they were a bit backwards at times but....... damn! How do they make tea?
@@triggerhippy2826 by throwing in the river.
They boil water on the stove though.
@@dracaulas4skin674 yes it's impossible to boil water with 120v electricity.
You really are a moron.
Thunderf00t WINS! Flawless victory!! Fatality!! LMFAO I love these videos so god damn much!!
I actually think your electricity cost estimates were low. Depending on where you live (NYC, LA) it could be closer to $1.5-2 million over a lifetime.
Bad Science in Movies (BS in movies?) is an awesome idea, I hope you do it!
I like how they installed some next to plants 3:10 Because you know they're getting watered regularly. Convenient that...
Yes, I am definitely blocked by them even if I never tweeted to them.
Guilty by association! Wait.... guilty of what...
For the lifetime calculation for regular water you assumed a lifetime was 65 years, but in the Waterseer's case you assumed it was 70 years.
It seems like you're exaggerating the facts in your video without actually disclosing that you are.
STAPH! Can't you see it's dead already? 😢
They're at it again:
Researchers at the Technion Institute of Technology and their partners in Africa have received a prize for the development of a technology that creates water from heat, which aims to provide clean water to third world countries.
The recipients of the newly set up Mauerberger Foundation Fund (MFF) Research Award for Transformative Technologies for Africa are Prof. Yehuda Agnon, Associate Prof. Mark Talesnick and Asst. Prof. Guy Ramon, along with Leslie Petrick of the University of the Western Cape in South Africa and Mekelle University in Ethiopia. Also receiving the award were three NGOs: Technion’s Engineers Without Borders (EWB), South Africa’s FLOW and Ethiopia’s Drop of Water.
The scientists have developed a low-cost system powered by renewable energy to extract water from humidity in the air. The technology is different from other techniques that generate water from air in that it converts heat into mechanical power in the form of an acoustic wave. This wave acts as a “virtual piston” that is capable of performing a cooling action.
The technology does not require electricity, as it uses only local heat.
The Phase Exchange Thermoacoustics (PXT) technology developed by the Technion researchers is thus “a candidate for low cost, small scale conversion” devices for rural and developing areas, said the Technion’s Ramon.
Absolutely love your videos, I've been 60% through and will finish watching all of them this month!
If I had a nickel for every time Thundie says “water”, I could fricking retire.
It could be like a mix of Cinema Sins and Because Science with a Thunderfoot delivery! I love this idea.
I'm sorry for the comparisons, just trying to build a quick visualization.
China use lead solder in the dehumidifier it is so risky consume water from a dehumidifier especial the cheap ones plus all the mold on the tubes and inssides. ...props from Portugal
You beat that horse to a bloody pulp, revieved it and nursed it back to health just to savagely murder it again.
Honestly, if you did cooking how-to videos I'd watch. Your brain is fucking gorgeous in action 😍
I propose collecting water from Solar Freaking Roadways!
There are still people on the indigogo talking about this, I Recommend people to link these two videos to them.
It's getting busted so much it's getting a Water Burial.
Here in Indiana we use something called a rain barrel and it does not require any electricity. Actually water is so plentiful that I rarely use the minimum amount of water on our water bill. Actually the sewer portion of the water bill cost more than the water. That is only reason to use a rain barrel, to keep the sewer portion of the bill lower if you water your plants a lot.
Stick with debunking scam products. The world is full of sci-fi critics already.
wouldn't the company that makes the dehumidifiers have grounds to sue?
My drowning died of offended and I'm Uncle.
When it comes to movies using funny props, next time you watch Star Wars, look at the seatbelts in the Millennium Falcon, they're lined with bubble wrap. Normal packing bubble wrap. It was used to make them look "futuristic".
