Solar panels create water from nothing.

Interesting.
Shouldn't the title be "Solar panels pull water vapor from air"? It's a nice product but one would suggest this was magic or some shit.
Yet your brainless ass keeps yapping.
Ah, just trying to pull your ass in my thread. I figured folks can watch the video to understand it’s not magic.
There water vapor in the air all the time. They are condensing that to create the water. The problem with this device is it should only be able work in really humid environments. (humidity is the measure of water vapor in the air) Places that really need the water are typically very arid and dry. It might work if you're in the slums of Haiti but unlikely to work in sub-Saharan Africa.
I understand that the water that dripped from the panel was condensate from
the water vapour in the air. My statement was meant to point out the absurdity
in the statement. To say it would not work in Sub-Saharan Africa is to exbhit
lack of knowledge and condescension.
a) You do not know at what humidity/temperature the thing condenses water vapour
b) You do not know the humidity of every place in Africa, or what places need water
c) You appear to excuse the Sahara and North Africa from this.... why?
In fact, the this phenomenon should be more common. Solar panels take the heat
out of the atmosphere and convert it into electricity... This extraction of heat from
the atmosphere lowers energy in the vapourised water molecules in the air below
the point where they can remain gaseous
Can this have practical use? I doubt it...
Please shut your dumb ass up
You giving me flashbacks to when you knew what you were talking about with those bridges
Why do people like you exist?
Ugh.
For them, it may be the safest bet, especially if they have a filter.
Just a minor correction when you say sub-Saharan which is actually in reference to area south of the Sahara.
The moisture gradient lies between the Saharan and sub-Saharan areas. The moisture gradient that splits the two areas across North Africa is the intertropical convergence zone, which is located around 600 millibars (~17000 feet) in altitude. That moisture gradient line shifts north to south with a variation of about 5 degrees during El Niño and La Niña seasons or during seasonal changes (further north during the summer and fourth south during the winter).
So, it would work very well in the sub-Saharan region, but maybe not so well in the Saharan areas where moisture is available but only in the upper atmosphere. Sub-saharan moisture is in the lower atmosphere and closer to the surface the closer you get to the equatorial regions of Africa.

You're right. A more apt comparison would be setting up one in Georgia where it is usually humid vs setting it up in Arizona where the air is dry.
