Systems that harvest water from the air can make drinking water. But the same tool can remove humidity from the house's internal air.

Harvesting water straight from the air is one of the most important things if people want to survive in deserts. But the same systems can use to make drinking water in normal city areas. Those systems that harvest water from the air can keep the air clean and dry in places like computer centers.

MIT researchers made the new hydrogel. That hydrogel called lithium chloride can harvest lots of water from the air. And that kind of system can use to make at least drinking water. But those systems also can remove water from the air. And they are useful to keep places like computer centers dry and clean.

The reason, why there is no rain in the desert is that there are no particles in the air that allows water or vapor to condensate around them. In the first world war, the particles that burning gunpowder sent into the air caused rain that turned all land into mud.

"MIT engineers have synthesized a new superabsorbent hydrogel infused with lithium chloride that can absorb an unprecedented amount of moisture, even in desert-like conditions. This material has the potential for large-scale use in passive water harvesting and improving air conditioning efficiency. (Artist’s concept.)"

The rain was the reason for many catastrophes. As an example, the Passchendaele campaign turned to muddy hell the rain. The artillery and other weapons pumped small particles into the air. Along with pressure waves and changing temperature, that thing caused rain because water condensates around those particles.

In some visions, the artificial rain would create by burning gunpowder and then cooling that smoke. Then the system will make the artificial occlusion front by using very cold particles. That thing should cause artificial rain around that statue of very cold particles.

In more limited solutions those particles will release into the chamber. And then air will put to travel through that system. Harvesting water from the air could solve water problems in at least some areas. That kind of system can install in houses. And also in places like spacecraft and submarines, the system can remove water from the air.

Harvesting water from the air is not a new idea. There is only one needed tank there are particles like small-scale dust, like carbon powder. Then the temperature in that tank will change. And that should form of fog. Also if those particles temperature is low they would pull water on them. Sometimes is planned to harvest water from the air by using two membranes.

The temperatures in those membranes are different. And that creates the sealing line between them. That point where hot and cold air touching each other forms clouds if the system changes that temperature simultaneously.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful. Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down. The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts. The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
