  1.  @xKapnKrunch  Now imagine the first engines if everyone already knew that the fuel would never have enough energy density to be useful. That's the issue. Some things don't work right because they need improvement, but the numbers clearly show it's possible. In this case, the numbers show it's a waste of time. You cannot improve past 100%.

  2. I think that figure is ignoring how much water we consume through food.

  3. All water we use returns to the water cycle. I don't think we shoot a lot of it into space.

  4.  @arandomfox999  I know they use fucky measurements (like including rainwater) but that water is "lost" until the cycle repeats. Basically if we say a trillion tons of fresh water are "produced" every year, and our water demand climbs to 1.5 trillion, we'll need to desalinate half a trillion tons of sea water to make up for it. The water isn't irreversibly lost, but we'll need to pull extra.

  5.  @paulmayer8782  Sorry, but the maths is needed. To develop a product you need to be aware of its function. This means design constraints. Unless they're paying engineers to do "youtube science projects" where people just cobble things together not knowing if they'll even work.

  7.  @xKapnKrunch  There's enough humidity in the air to make drinkable water. We usually allow it to condense and rain to fill our aquifers. The big problem is that we usually get this water for "free". If you want to take that water out of the air, you need to expend energy. And the drier the climate, the more energy you'll need to extract it. Running a dehumidifier is not the solution no matter how efficient you make it.

  8. What is there to improve? You can't turn air into water, only pull humidity. You cannot breach through this barrier. You cannot get higher than 100% efficiency.
