My new humidifier concept takes in air, removes the water, and uses the dry air to fill up a balloon, then releases the space-filling balloon, and uses the extracted water to supply a more typical humidifier

Okay but obviously the water is going down a secret escape chute so that the humidifier can sit there and be lazy

I saw a review of someone who'd bought a new pan and was disappointed that it couldn't heat water past 100°C.

It's an insulation problem. If their home were properly insulated, like hermetically air-tight sealed, the humidifier would not have that problem

The dehumidifier I got had the opposite problem! It was annoying how it kept filling with water, so I rigged it with a heating element to keep it dry!

Reminds me of the VPN app "using too much data, will put 5 stars when it will work even when I'm not in range of a mobile tower or wifi antenna"
I guess it's not *technically* a law of physics, but how are they meant to setup a virtual connection if there's no physical connection?

This wind turbine is terribly inefficient. It only extracts 59% of the air's kinetic energy.

This reminds me, pouring water onto the heating element in a sauna does not make the sauna hotter. It makes it *cooler!*

What happens if you put a humidifier and a dehumidifier next to each other? Endless water transfer?
