@RustyCrab now that you mention it, all that anti sun stuff is a real psy-op. Pretty sure, getting sun, but not enough to burn you, is ideal.

> there is no lack of honest people who like working with their hands
I mean there is, you'll discover the lack if you try to staff a company of such people. For every 20 people that want to do such a job, maybe 1 will actually benefit your company.
And, I don't mean skills. Just a basic honest worker.
The company I mentioned, has several people who started with no skills at all, but they had, and kept a good attitude, and now they have all the skills required to fulfill their role.
Using recruiting websites, has produce almost a 100% washout rate. In fact, it is so bad, I'm betting there is some sort of algorithm that sends shit people to small businesses.

@deprecated_ii skilled labor, especially for physically intensive jobs, there is more demand than there is supply. Even if you are willing to pay them well. (the business I have association with, after covid, was having to pay them like they were engineers with years of relevant experience xD)
It got even worse after covid. I think the vax culled a lot of people in a critical age range.
I'll add the qualification that, a majority of the available people will either steal from you, or will do such a poor quality job that it creates more work for your company. (also had a few that, just didn't want to work, they do just enough so it is hard to tell, but they are doing fucking nothing if no one is watching).

@gabriel Joe Rogan, is for sure playing for the other side. And, you can't make it to the national level like Tucker with out certain oaths. They are both more likely to be conduits for evil spirits than AJ.
Though AJ has a problem, he only seems to be able to create fear, and mixes lots of misdirection and lies into his content. But, he definitely closer to the light side than either Rogan or Tucker.

@icedquinn sounds amazing xD

@icedquinn the most fun I had in factorio was playing with heat and fluid circuits.
A game with more analog crafting dynamics, iterative simulations rather than discrete operations would be a lot of fun.
Couldn't do the, stacking infinity identical items thing, but that gets old fast.
Much better to have unique items created in dynamic ways.

@RustyCrab When I was in college, I was terrified by the future events, but nothing bad ever happened, I eventually learned that I was pure shit at predicting the future, and have since then often, just forgotten about concerning things in the future.
I recently had one come and go, and I can only laugh, because it took care of itself.
I've already wasted too much of my life worrying about the future, so I push others to abandon the future and forget about it xD

@Inginsub It is often there, but they don't make the connections for you.
The other way round is, if you know something is there, you can usually find additional information looking at wiki.

Not in either case.
If you break it into parallel systems, each wire will carry less amperage. (same voltage, less power per wire)
And, if you stack everything in series, and drive it with a higher voltage, each wire will use less amperage. (same power, higher voltage)

@brimshae @BowsacNoodle @deprecated_ii
Well, now that depends. You can power the fan, and each thermo-electric pad independently. Spread the load out.
Or you can stack the pads in series, and the same for your solar panels.

> Can you explain how you intend to use glass as a heat exchanger?
They just... sell glassware for that lol (picture related). Being an insulator, you just need more surface area or a greater delta-T to drive the transfer. (honestly, it is the same problem even if you use the plastic tubes.)
The reason why I mentioned potentially using a batch process, is because it may take a few passes to get the gas down to the dew-point, if you lack a large dT or enough surface area.
As long as you can insulate, and keep waste heat from leaking into the exchange. Then even if the exchange surface is an insulator, that just means it will be slower, not that it wont happen. (the flow rate will be important to any setup, otherwise the exit gas may be warmer than the dew-point)
>Copper
I'll be using copper and aluminum for the thermo-electric heat exchange, I just don't want it to touch my drinking water lol.

So, my first design is a bit ad-hock, still waiting on some of the parts to arrive. But, it is very simple.
Basically, I noticed I could not buy a drinking water dehumidifier. And, most condensation coils are not designed to be cleaned. So, I am going to use chemistry glass where (which turned out to be very cheap lol) as the heat exchange. A PC cooling thermo-electric generator to provide the cooling going into the heat exchange. Which should turn 100-200W of 12V or 24V DC solar panel energy into cooling. And, I've got lots of toxin free jugs to fill. Also, thinking that a low power ozone machine, running intermittently at the filtered air intake (a filter, then a fan, than a 3d printed funnel down to the glassware, maybe inject the ozone right after the fan) would keep the whole system clean.
Mind you, I don't have this working yet, so I am unsure if I will be in viable operation windows for the equipment. (more heat exchange stages or more cooler power may be likely)
Now, since mobility is a priority the glassware really isn't the best solution, (I think it will be very easy to keep clean, but that doesn't mean shit if it breaks). So an improvement will be food grade toxic free plastic hose, spooled inside of a jug, where the jugs is the heat exchange. Some care will need to be taken to ensure that you don't create a liquid trap somewhere along the path.
The only other things that come to mind, 1, the exchange and coil lines need to be insulated! And, 2, an adapter that sets nicely into a window, to get humid outside air, and return the excess heat to the outside would be useful if you are still in an urban environment.
And, I suppose that you could use a lower power system (smaller exchangers as well), and do a batch process on a volume of air, before exchanging it for new air with more moisture. Honestly, if you could feed the coolest air back into the process, it would probably be a lot more efficient. Just having the cold output, mix with the new input may improve the system significantly (as well as tuning the old:new ratio).
If my evaluation has any grounding in reality, this should be achievable for probably less than 100$, (maybe 200$ or 300$ with solar panels, depending on what kind of energy is required by the end.)

> pH affecting your container
I'm thinking Shock it, then let the container return to ambient, then seal.
> Distillation can work, but it's costly on the energy side
I'm looking at dehumidifying via solar. I'll let you know how that goes :D It can also be augmented with a water heater.

> iodine or bleach
I'd just use ozone if you are able to do so.
> They sell faucet adapters
Honestly, the two disruptions I have the most concern about, 1 is chemical contamination (it isn't like trans and trucks with chemicals aren't having accidents you know xD)
And 2, geological disruption. Think, muddy water coming out of the ground. I bet 99% of people would not be prepared to filter that to drinking purity.
> You can also collect rainwater
If it is in-place before the issue, then yes. I do like this a lot since it has a robust purification mechanic.
Portable offgrid drinking water solution, is one of the machines I am trying to build xD Collect, Purify, Store.
