With respect to energy balance comments and comparing this to other technologies: both processes of absorption and condensation are happening within the same material passively, meaning you do not need to put energy into it. The heat gained from absorption is lost in the next step of condensation. The impact of this discovery, therefore, is that you don't need the power of your AC or your dehumidifier or your moisture vaporator on the south ridge.
Always testing the AI's I thought this might be a fun one to watch how they think through it since it is about technology that they would not have been trained on. Grok thought through the process more thoroughly than I (B.S.ChemE) would've .
