[@MrZashTheGreat]

The effort you put in to make robocody work is astounding keep on the great work

[@Nighthawkinlight]

I have a couple ideas for your water collection. I think it would make sense to combine your mineral heating method with the tarp method. To do this, instead of using a dehumidifier that needs constant power use a hygroscopic desiccant like calcium chloride or epsom salts. You can absorb all your water in that way without constant power expenditure, then kiln out the water all at once a few gallons at a time. I bet the short burst of kiln power will be less than the constant dehumidifier power. Maybe just have a little solar powered computer fan for mild circulation. Second idea is to mount a big umbrella shaped tarp on a wheelie cart or an automated roomba thing that changes location when it detects humidity has dropped below a useful threshold.

[@CribleyGaming]

The buckets of desiccant could remain stationary in a solar still, picking up water at night, and getting rid of it during the day. Just change where the air circulates twice a day.

[@thor.halsli]

@jimmymcgarry Your the kind of guy who buy him self out of a problem. But money can't buy brains bubba. The only bad idea in this world is not trying

[@gravityisnotreal9867]

Please collaborate!

[@FractalMachine]

alternatively, why not just use "passive cooling" (atmospheric window IR emission) for condensation, since the moisture is created by the sun anyway. the humidifier is essentially just an easy way to collect condensed water, no real need to waste power for that.

[@TheRealWulfderay]

Interesting ideas. You might be right about the kiln using less power overall, but the advantage of using the dehumidifier imho is that it uses less power all at once, so in the context of a system on Mars, where there is effectively infinite solar power over a long time, but a strict limit at once (due to solar collection), the tradeoff may be worth it. Cody, you should have a drag race between the two methods! By the way, i love the idea of a giant roomba with a moveable umbrella to collect water autonomously. Very 1980s anime!

@@rofltehcaton a large scale I can see this being a problem but I assume that also depends on the weather\season. And it probably wouldn’t be worth to move it as the edges would still be collecting some moisture.

[@whitcwa]

The taste of the dehumidifier condensate is probably from the evaporator coils. Metal food cans have a plastic coating to limit contamination. I would treat the water collected as grey water.

[@travisgeorge2809]

I had almost forgotten about chicken hole base, and then out of nowhere, new episode to brighten my day. EDIT: I'd like to propose an alternate rig setup for your distillation. Bury one of your smaller tanks completely, and put shade over it. Have a hose coming from under the tarp to a relatively high point. Warmer air from under the tarp should create a natural draft to this high point. At the high point, put some coils to cool the air and some shade over that. From the coils, drop another hose down to the buried tank, all the way to the bottom of it. From the top of the buried tank, run another hose back to the tarp. This makes it a completely passive system that gets the benefit of the higher temperature differential, but without needing any moving parts or electricity.

Given the low amount of gas that fridge needs in order to run, you could revive your biodigester project to fuel it (helpful that you have a camping crapper too, perfect place to start!), they are pretty much a small candle flame type thing, so the amount of gas your digester made would be suitable, and of course there's always a gasometer system to store it too if there's any excess... :)

[@CameronSalazar2113]

smart idea but he is simulating that he is on Mars so the exhaust would also be a task to find a way to get the waste air out and new air in without it being stuck outside a window but if that can be solved it is a great idea for constant cooling and water source but power is limited and A/C's use a lot of power. It still would be a fun experiment to see and to see how much water it can collect from just being in the air inside alone since very little outside air around on Mars.

[@TheScarvig]

@@CameronSalazar2113 eventually the greenhouses would be hooked into the air system to convert the co2 back to o2 and food. and i think the greenhouses already have a system in place/planned to dehumidify the air before sending it to the habitats. so any moisture he breaths out will make its way there via the co2 return vents

@@nunyabisnass1141 trick is to get them used to it early. Often the only car rides cats get are to the vet, so they see the car as a sign of stress. If you start early on just driving around with a cat, they will get used to it and think nothing of it. A friend of mine will take her cat for a train ride every weekend when she goes to visit her parents. Cat is completely cool with it because she has someone she trusts and has done it so often it barely registers.
