Max Water By Max Whisson: Science Fiction in the News — This is an interesting device if it works as shown. It obviously would not work in conditions where there was no wind.
Max Water pulls water out of the air by using wind power; it is the invention of Dr. Max Whisson of Australia. Necessity is the mother of this invention – Australia is in the grip of the worst drought in a century.
When I first reported on Max Water, the technology was a mystery (see Whisson Windmills To Water Australia Like Vaporators?). Additional information has surfaced; take a look.
Water is present in the air all over the earth; this dissolved water is called “humidity.” At 30 degrees centigrade, with a relative humidity of 60 percent, each cubic meter of air contains about 18 grams of water.
If you can cool the air to 5 degrees, the air can only retain about 8 grams/cubic meter of water; the remaining 10 grams per cubic meter will condense as fog or droplets.

Since water vapor is the largest greenhouse gas – could this invention prevent global warming?
I don’t think it’s wise to mess around with natural weather patterns. I wish smart guys like this would focus on helping control global warming.
Huh? They’ve been doing this on both Arrakis and Tatooine for decades.
Who’s been doing this on Arrakis and Tatooine?
Yeah I know, the Arrakisinians and Tatooinians.
#4, Well, now there is chocolate milk on my keyboard and shirt. Thank you for the consideration.
(Phuk that was funny)
I think that it is the Fremen and Tatooines, respectively.
#2 Man can not cause or control Global warming. The earth has been naturally warming since the last mini Ice Age. It most likely will the cool again. The planet has also been cooling since it formed from hot gases and when the other planet hit us and formed the moon. The is no fixed temperature for the planet. The Global warming is the new religion of our age to control how people live.
#7 – What Jessica was trying to say is that we shouldn’t be messing around with natural weather patterns, we should mess with the climate instead.
Surf’s… down?
AC units already do that.
Captain Picard built one of these in one of his experiences with an alien probe that made him think we was living a whole other life.
# 7
WOW someone with some common sense. My faith in humanity is slightly improved.
Then #8 drove it back down again with the interpretation of #2.
Don’t you love it when a dumb ass tells you what someone else’s comment means.
#12 – Glad I could balance things for you. Was my sarcasm so “dry” your Max Water couldn’t extract anything?
But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!
