This was a refreshing read. Technology well employed and at the service of the people gives abundant prosperity and at a very low cost. If only the capitalist would get out of the way, we would see great advancements for the benefit of our civilization.

This was a gut wrenching article.

This was an interesting read!

I don’t think it matters if they are late. Even if it can be considered late, it is still commendable that they are reducing reliance on western technology by improving their domestic industry. Also, according to the following quote from the article, this is actually a great strategy.

All digital items should be produced domestically by 2024. Things that the country cannot make domestically are expected to be sourced from China.

If I could define it, it will be as this user from the r/berserk subreddit did: https://www.reddit.com/r/Berserk/comments/qsadk0/the_concept_of_the_struggler_and_why_it_could_be/

Thinking on Guts, it occurred to me that he’s never been the type to look for meaning as to why his life has sucked. He’d simply accepted/resigned himself to the fact that it was harsh, and kept trying to push forward however possible. Hence him being dubbed a “struggler”, one that fights against fate and cruel reality.

The manga has put the main character Guts through some horrible and mind breaking stuff. That’s why it is impressive to see how he pushed forward regardless.

The author is Kouji Mori, which is the guy that is helping Kentaro Miura(RIP) finish the Berserk manga.

Interesting and thanks for sharing this! I will check Thunderf00t’s videos then.

I apologize if I accidentally implied that collective action and consciousness is not needed.

Your gut is right. After a quick search, it seems that the power consumption of a seawater desalination process is less than three kilowatt hours per meter squared for a large-scale plant.

However, the downside of desalination plant will be the cost of the infrastructure and the time it might take to have it up and running. With the “water extraction from air” machine, the cost is lower(I assume) and the size is smaller(Height: 259 cm, Width: 610 cm and Length: 224 cm). Seems like it might be quick to have this MoP up and running faster than the desalination plant while costing a ton of energy in the long run.

After checking this dude’s website, it needs 475 Kwh/m3 in a desert condition which is a lot of energy.

With this in mind, using the data within this website, to achieve a daily 100 kWh electricity output, the people interested in this device will require 50 to 52 solar panels, each rated at 400 Watts. Now, if we multiply this times 5, they might 250 solar panels to deliver that kind of power.

In a hypothetic scenario, what could be done to make this practical?

Exactly this! Also, according to this dude, it can work in places with low levels of humidity like the Sahel in Africa.

More like a dehumidifier with power capable of extracting 5k liters aprox of water per day and that is safe to drink.
