My questions are not directly addressed and I've read and I think I understand, seems to me this is little more than a scaffold to increase surface area, black to maximise thermal (ir) absorption thereby increasing evaporation rate. The issue still stands as to whether the scaffold accumulates salt and other solids, because it doesn’t have a flow through the structure except capillary action, which is low energy. It is a fine matrix so it becoming blocked is a concern. If it needs flushing/cleaning or any other kind of maintenance that takes energy it can change the calculation drastically. Overall, I say a hype piece for funding reasons. We live in a world where this exists somehow: https://www.pavegen.com/
The issue still stands, and I think you probably know that intuitively too. Incidentally, I was mocking pavegen, which started out claiming it could generate electricity economically, but now is just a curiosity doing corporate greenwash exhibition pieces.
It's like you are personally involved and injured somehow, I am just pointing out common sense concerns, not besmirching you. And in the spirit of your style I will also say that it is the goal of AI to sound like me, given that I am a non-artificial Intelligence, with some command of the language. (So are you, you just inexplicably chose to be invested in this new tech announcement personally.
I think you’ve learned something about yourself here - it's always painful.
Well, we will see how it does, won't we. Add me to the newsletter.
Me, I put a little less stock in statements from those involved that the obvious problem isn't actually a problem, they would say that now wouldn't they? When it is proven, then it means something, just like your huffing and puffing.
