There has for a long time been the need for more water in the world, especially the third world where water can be quite scarce. this means we need to either create water, desalinate sea water or attract water, of course. To attract water, we could put long poles above dams for the clouds to swarm around. to desalinate sea water, we could build huge floating desalination plants that filter usable sea water into the dams for our use. To create water out of clouds, we could 'shoot them' with lasers that turn them into water. this would make use of electromagnetism, where the clouds would converge onto one spot where the laser is fired and focused and then there would be water created out of clouds and then there would be much 'cloud condensation.' this would be where we focus a laser that compacts air into the clouds as they pass over the dams.
This just has to be a joke All that would happen at best, if you put long poles over a dam is that you would end with damp poles and that would happen if and only if condensation rate outstripped evaporation rate
Maybe so but he did bring up concepts of technology that we may need if we are to stay on earth and keep increasing our population. We could send half of our population to Mars but we will need to terraform it . Or in the next 100,00 years we develope faster than light travel and find another earth to over populate in a million years. At least thatvwould buybus some time.
What concerns me more than water is the fact your post induced me to like bowerbirds response. Not sure if that's a sign there's hope for humanity or the last straw in its demise
Yerrrssss Rain does come from clouds but to get condensation you have to "seed" the clouds with fine particles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_seeding Take note of the phrase "has not been proven to work"
A lot of the water Americans drink is recycled toilet water...just filthy. https://danielteolijr.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/6035/
Maybe the easiest way to make water is with something that is proving to be rather plentiful, electricity? this would be where you make a explosion that produces water, and, this could be done by using 'a container' to hold the water, with a magnet to compound pressure on regular air. this would result in using charges to push protons, which are the strong force, so we need excess protons, and, these can be gathered by electrifying wires, that run in a circular motion, merely relaying energy from the battery back to the battery, traveling along the insulated in thick rubber wires. this means the electrons are traveling, dragging the protons with them. this means, if you were to use a piece of metal, or, a metal container, you could have the rubber wires exposed to the rubbing of the tube wires. Then, you need to observe when you rub your hands together, you will get some grease, yes? this means you can generate water from heat, as they separate from each other, due to opposites attracting, yet fire goes up and water goes down with gravity. Okay, i am getting confused, but, if we were to observe what i have shown, while it may be rather easy to say these things, the water can be gathered through the rubber wheels that you find on cars. you need to 'merely produce grease,' and this would mean friction, or, rubbing the rubber together. to make for more grease, you would need to put the wheel on a hinge and turn it around with your hands, to create motion, of course, and then making them run onto each other, as if wheeled or cogged, so that we can see the grease develop quickly, and, frequently. Another way to make water with rubber is to varnish a floor and scrape your rubber soles of your shoes on them. maybe this can be rewored into a system where there is enough liquids made for the demand for it in times of drought?
Maybe the best way to get instant water is to use heaters and copper rods? the heaters could make a chamber hot, and the rods could be 'grated together?' this will result in water vapor forming on the rods, which will produce water in a 'dropping motion.' Or, maybe the best thing to do is to have a compressor that compresses grass and rocks - anything practical - that has a sieve that lets the water through the sieve keeping the dry left overs behind?
E= MC2. Find out what that means - hint you cannot "make" elements without a very large amount of energy
