Setting up the water purifier
« on: March 17, 2018, 11:25:49 PM »
One is to build a purifier that breaks the water down into hydrogen and oxygen, then burns that while collecting the resulting condensation. It would be relatively low yield, and require significant power.   

Heeee!  Oh hell, that brought to mind a scene from The Martian . . .

Lol!

Funny, but she would be using actual equipment designed for the purpose. :)

I was thinking more along the lines of Niil trying to build it.  Even WITH the proper equipment and an instruction manual.   ;)

Niil tries his Technical skill to jump start a repulsor truck . . .

I thought you'd get a chuckle out of that one.  ;)  I had to pause the movie for about 5 minutes the first time I saw it.
