I nearly flunked thermodynamics in college, so take this as the harebrained scheme/Burning Man hack that it would be.
But I've wondered if you could get a useful amount of cooling/greywater disposal/hot clean water supply by mounting a wind-powered vacuum pump on top of a tall (11m +) column of water so that the water in the column would boil at ambient temperature.
- tlb 8y agoIt turns out that water boils quite slowly at room temperature and low pressure, so you’d need a very large surface area.
