Water Generation! Most amazing RV invention in a Living Vehicle!

[@RadDadisRad]

Water extraction from air is difficult in dryer climates. It works quite well in some areas but it’s not ideal in every area.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

For the dozen people that said "oh this is only a ....", the guy basically admitted that in the first two and half minutes and later admitted this isn't new tech. The whole point is they are integrating it into their RV, just like everything else in their RV.

[@thechroniclesofmaintenance4192]

That is a really cool system. Only question I can think of is what is the minimum ambient temperature the unit can function in, or how does it handle freezing temperatures? I need to start saving my milk money to get one of these units. I figure I should have enough in about 2193 😁😁

[@roundpeg3239]

It's an ac with water collection built in instead of extraction.

[@Ajjakakkaka]

You can tell all the people who commented before actually finishing the video lol

[@sasquatch885]

This system with a composting toilet would be awesome.👍🏻

[@renaissancepoet]

All of the negative comments. They can be frustrating if you let them be. But what I see is a couple/company that is innovating designs, techniques, construction and products that are badly needed in an industry that has become too comfortable with producing the same old junk. Plus the fact that these trailers are not really part of the RV industry. They've created their own niche that is sort of similar to the RV industry but really isn't. And the distinction becomes obvious once you stop trying to compare Living Vehicle to the RV industry.

[@pastorclay82]

Buy a dehumidifier and run it through a water filter, this “technology “ is as old as the air conditioning unit.

[@ryukuseymour]

Yeah we had them in emergency response trailers many years ago. Ours were portable and we had to roll them out and connect all of them to a 60kw generator which also supported our communication trailers.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

To produce 5 gallons would require around 15 kWh. That's most of your solar panel production. Hope you don't need to run the A/C.

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

I have said this to a lot of manufacturers videos for high end RV builders to add to their product especially those million dollar motorhomes.

[@kevinparker3845]

So....he reinvented a dehydrator?

[@MrMice...]

He said it was old tech/nothing new. Just made a "mobile" system that works with 24v vehicles.

[@debbiewilson4443]

Wow. Innovative and fabulous developments for rvs.. and for living in general. Just wow

[@BryanKrauss-u7y]

How much does that system cost and how many gallons a day does it generate

[@freetotravel4793]

Works great in high humidity areas

[@atrifle8364]

So they invented...a dehumidifier???

[@lastfanstanding999]

It's worth it... I'm all in !😲😊🇺🇸

[@HamRadio200]

Very neat, but very impracticable in my opinion.

[@jennatrusty522]

Yeah my air conditioner generates water to it's not really that big of a deal I mean you talking about generating water for my air which is what a normal you know regular small air conditioning unit does do that's why it needs a tube you know to carry the water out of the area of the air-conditioning so it's really not that big of an invention if it's already existing like the concept of generating water out of there is not a new idea

[@BigTruckBigRV]

The concept of purifying it is new though. Dehumidifiers, ACs and even a soda can can pull water from the humidity in the air. Harnessing it, cleaning it, and serving to you is an entirely new concept for RVs. I think you know this as well.

[@cookingsherry8784]

Hasn't NASA been doing this since the 60s? I'm surprised it has not been commercialized by now.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

@@cookingsherry8784It was, this isn't new tech.

[@MrMice...]

He doesn't claim its new tech folks. They just made a "mobile" system that runs in 24v vehicles.

[@ryukuseymour]

​@@BigTruckBigRVMany years ago we had portable water generators in our emergency response communication trailers. I suspect it's taken this long to get them built into campers because not everyone can roll around with the diesel generators we used to power them all. The high dollar solar system is the cherry on top here.

[@cookingsherry8784]

Cool, he made a smaller, commercialized version of what NASA's been doing for over 50 years now. Still not worth it. I'm not sure the price since he didn't say, but if it's integrated into the half a million dollar model, that's like about a $100,000 glass of water. No, thanks! Even Fiji and Smart Water is cheaper than that! Plus, I think the areas where it would be most helpful or needed -- like the desert -- it would not work as well.

[@meilyn22]

Everything available right now is very inefficient for water generation from the air. If you dont live in the Amazon forest, this won't give you the water needed. Big PASS!

[@charlielacroix5670]

It’s a dehumidifier

[@gwolf7716]

I’m assuming it’s a filter system for legionnaires and molds typical to other condensation systems.

[@servicetrucker5564]

Dehumidifier and a brita pitcher. Done. It was a joke JD don’t kill me

[@sebastiant5695]

My RV creates a lot of water, The Fridge is constantly dripping and the A/C unit is dumping water ;) just need to somehow collect an filter.

[@roundpeg3239]

The power requirement is going to be insane

[@KPHVAC]

The power won't matter if it's an inverter compressor all ran off solar.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

@@KPHVAC Of course the power matters. The RV only has around 4kW of solar.

[@KPHVAC]

@@ItsEverythingElse In one of the previous videos they said it has a 60KW energy system or the option to upgrade to 72KW.

[@shekharmoona544]

You could literally drive to areas in central and South America and not have to worry about Montezuma's revenge.

[@stevenreynolds2327]

Many years ago I seen a system like this in Georges restaurant in Flour Bluff. It was about the size of an ATM machine. It was sitting in the dining room.

[@dethmaul]

Oh yeah ,i forgot to mention on that showcase video.the water filter/gen system in the bedroom closet, won't they gush water on the floor when you unscrew the filter cases? That whole casement is full, unless there's like a relief poppet at the bottom

[@lisaevans5840]

I would love to see them figure out how to heat from a hydrogen system that is replenished from the water from condensation and solar.

[@kenmiller5954]

set the standers high keep evolving and the return is better products on the market then pushing the standards up for everyone at a lower price

[@matthewbell9938]

Wait til the government get they hands on this lol but could really be beneficial on a large scale especially in dry climates give this man the genius reward

[@joshmatthews3450]

It’s not new tech, and doesn’t work well in dry climates. Works well in humid climates, where there’s a lot of water in the air.

[@KeenanModica]

I want one

[@herblackwings33]

This is cool tech,I was already familiar with LV and systems like Watergen before this series started,glad to see more things like this being covered,its a real gamechanger for RVs.

[@joel4wd]

When can buy it like to try it out

[@shekharmoona544]

Airstream doesn't even have this.

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

My favorite product

[@rem1762]

So it's up to us to "save the planet" and live this way while the rest of the 99.98% live free? My system is a On the Go 16000 resin water softener outside that removes the hard water and the inside under my 5th wheel island sink I have a Watts Premier 4 filter button release reverse osmosis system. This system works so well I've installed six of them the last 20 years.

[@bobuncle8704]

Cool technology Another black water saving tech would be a vacuum sealing toilet. Separate out the liquids, and the a vacuum sealed package is created for the solids. Very low energy requirements, and can just be added to the garbage. I do think propane incineration is probably the most eco friendly though.

[@ZoeyR86]

why not tie it into the main condenser used by the A/C save the space. and just tap the the lines and use an electronic TSV to control the coil temp

[@VegasGuy1975]

My on;y disappointment is when JD told Matt to explain in the most exciting way possible, I was fully expecting Vince the Sham Wow Guy level excitement. 😂 I’m all seriousness, this is a very cool device!

[@ThePRINCSARA]

Awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@peterhowson587]

This unit generates distilled water, then filters it. It is not good for drinking. All other uses are fine.

[@RadDadisRad]

I’m not sure it’s distilled since it’s not extracted from steam.

[@roundpeg3239]

​@@RadDadisRadit's not distilled. Distilled is negatively charged, or missing an ion. It's not generated by condensation.

[@peterhowson587]

Thanks for the correction.

[@Defender_of_men]

@@peterhowson587 even if it is we could just drop some mineral solution with electrolyte in it.

[@ItsEverythingElse]

Distilled water is fine for drinking. Assuming you are eating correctly, only a very small amount of your minerals come from water.

[@herblackwings33]

Incinerating toilets are nice too,they're pricey but great for off grid. There's propane and electric versions,the electric version does have a big power draw.

[@servicetrucker5564]

To incinerate those things I drop it’d probably have to draw terawatts
