Water (1) is such a everyday item that no one is really wasting any thought about it. It is simply taken for granted that it exists. And water does exist in abundance, just that the water for human consumption is only a miniscule fraction of all the water on earth.  The situation will aggravate with the expected Global Population Growth (2) from now, about seven billion to nine billion people at the year 2050! The amount of potable...

Hydrogen is supposed the most plentiful element in the universe. This is the stuff, which feeds our sun. Water consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Without water life, as we know it, would not be possible. Certainly human beings, which are made of about 70 percent water, could not live.

It seems that every flat and shop has an Air Conditioner and they are working hard to make live comfortable. Beside the fact of the energy demand and the potential use of harmful Greenhouse gases in the units, the condensing water is usually led with a plastic pipe to the side walk. This is senseless...
