As I said: As time goes by perhaps it’ll be improved enough to be more practical.
Who knows what secrets technology holds …
ipso, except that limits water production to about eight hours a day.
Less if the sun don’t shine, or the relative humidity (60%) or the temperature (80F) is lower. And another few thousand for the cells and inverter. You can buy a lot of water tank storage for that plus the $27k.

BREAKING: Netanyahu crashes to all-time low in odds to remain Prime Minister of Israel after tomorrow’s election, as centrist former IDF chief Eisenkot surges.
27% chance.

Maybe $3 billion will do it?

I think it’s a great idea. If you could power it with some solar cells then the electricity use won’t be so meaningful. As time goes by perhaps it’ll be improved enough to be more practical.

Agree.
Maddog, I dunno, corruption seems to be sacrosanct over there.
Honour among thieves, and all that.

Re Saudi’s….How dumb are they …the Houthi’s will say tks v much , have a 2 week party, shagging loads of goats and then get back to lobbing missiles around and then what…the Saudi’s offer $ 2 billion !!!!
ipso, 9:27, actually it’s pretty hot.
120 gallons per day is 5 gallons per hour, which consumes 5kWh of electricity (it doesn’t run on any power source, it runs on electricity only) requiring 40 amps of your (single phase) supply. It costs $27,000. In addition you have the costs of filters and supplements. You also need humid air – where I live that’s not a problem this week, because it has rained a lot. The tanks are getting about 120 gallons every half an hour, without a cube. Next week when it is hot and dry the cube won’t produce much because there is much less water in the air. Actually next week it might not run at all, it may be too hot …… won’t run over 100F.

The Hormuz Letter

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia offers Yemen’s Houthis $1 billion through Tehran to halt their attacks as part of a ceasefire, with Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman flying to Iran to negotiate it and even bringing the money with him aboard the C-130 aircraft he arrived on, per diplomatic Gulf sources to Israel Hayom.
Iran offered to mediate between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. It was represented by President Pezeshkian, SNSC chief Mohsen Rezaei and senior IRGC officials. Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin and Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir were also taking part.
This is one of the biggest concessions from the Saudis yet.
buygold,
if i have learned anything it is that this is a long road with many a turning.
still keepin’ my fingers crossed.

Wondering the same. I don’t think they’ll raise on Wednesday but we’re still at month end. I get the sense that rates have topped. The dollar can’t go down much because the Euro is so weak – probably not much help there. If war is the cause of weakness in the metals, then we’re screwed.
Central banks are the biggest buyers in the world, and they are loading the boat, so the price is a fraud and shouldn’t be falling. They’re probably waiting until the billionaires are fully loaded. We really got going in November last year, hopefully we do it again.
G&S…?
bottoming…???
eeos – all true, it’s not logical
The wisdom of men….
But God.
Let’s do some math about Noah
Noah’s Ark story is sad story. 1) elephants eat 660lb of greenery a day, times 150 that’s 99,000lbs of greenery for one elephant. That’s excluding hippos, giraffes, bears, rhinos, etc. With all the weight of animals and food storage you get 20 million pounds. 2) Carnivores would need to eat after the ark landed. So, what did they eat until the other animals populated. I could go on and on….
Great Story

If someone asks you how much a single family’s life is worth to the United States Navy, tell them the exact price: ten million dollars of steel.
On April 29, 1975, as Saigon fell, a tiny two-seat wooden-and-fabric Cessna plane with almost no fuel left circled desperately above the American aircraft carrier USS Midway.
Inside that tiny cockpit, a father named Major Buang-Ly had crammed his wife and five small children, including a baby. He scribbled a note on a map, wrapped it around his pistol so it would not blow into the ocean, and dropped it onto the carrier deck.
A young American sailor picked up the crumpled paper and ran it up to Captain Lawrence Chambers.
The note read: “Can you move these helicopter to the other side, I can land on your runway, I can fly 1 hour more. Please rescue me. Major Buang, Wife and 5 child.”
The flight deck of the USS Midway was completely jammed from bow to stern with military helicopters. A Cessna has no tailhook to catch carrier wires, and its pilot had never landed on a ship in his life.
By every military regulation, Captain Chambers had been in command for only five weeks. Throwing millions of dollars of U.S. government aircraft into the sea without permission from Washington could end his career in a court-martial.
Chambers looked up at the tiny plane circling in the wind with five children inside. He did not call an accountant in Washington.
“Clear the deck,” the captain ordered.
Hundreds of young American sailors in yellow and green jerseys ran to the edge of the ship, put their shoulders against massive Huey helicopters, and shoved ten million dollars worth of machinery straight off the cliff into the South China Sea.
Captain Chambers turned the giant carrier into the wind at twenty-five knots. The tiny Cessna came down, bounced once on the steel runway, and rolled to a safe stop with feet to spare.
When the cockpit door opened and five small children stepped out onto the deck, three thousand American sailors roared so loud it drowned out the engines, and immediately passed around a hat to collect cash for the family’s new life in America.
When the math says a child’s life is too expensive, an American throws the math into the ocean.

The gold monthly chart is what keeps me bullish. The 50-month DMA broke out in 2020 and 2023. We have not retested it. Not even close. That’s the breakdown.
