![]() ![]() In this case, yes, taking 3 seconds to actually THINK about whether it is possible for a water bottle to be filled solely from water drawn from the ambient air should be enough to trigger some suspicion.Īlso should clue you in that if this sort of feat was easy, then we'd pretty much never have to worry about fresh water shortages ever.īut with a slick campaign that implied they had considered these factors and were proposing a way 'around' them a person can be forgiven for thinking 'what do I really know? It sounds like a cool idea and lets see if it works!'Īlthough people who would plunk down $100 or more dollars on this kind of thing without basic research do mystify me. Coupled with the fact that snake-oil salesmen have succeeded for decades because humans tend to overly trust when somebody has a good presentation. I think people have gotten used to seeing so many real gadgets doing so many cool and 'impossible' feats that they are inclined to believe what seems to be relatively modest claims, like filling a water bottle over the course of a few hours, is possible with the right tech. Ironically they could use this gadget to immediately research any claims made by a particular group about their product, but even then would they be able to refute it on their own? I dunno, we live in a world where your average person has access to a Smartphone that can do seemingly anything, is crammed with sensors and emitters whilst fitting in your pocket, and they have no little idea how any of it works. Which can be shown to not work with either 10 minutes of research, or highschool-level knowledge of physics.
