have not watched yet but I think im aware of these and don't see how they could make ice. I am going to watch when I get time.
depends on freezing nighttime desert air and moving it with architectural elements over water
Why was this downvoted? That's literally what it says in the video.
I don't see any down votes for the post or any of the comments?
I didn't think kbin federated downvotes, unless that was added recently. https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/659428
It was at -1 when I replied. Glad to see it bounced back.
Given I watched it and liked it I just gave it a bump. Im really bad at doing that.
oh that makes sense. I forget how desserts are extreme in both directions.
Deserts also tend to have very clear air (not humidity for clouds and few other sources of pollution), which allows heat to radiate away faster than in other regions. If you do things right, you can localize this to make an area cool quickly using heat radiation and reflection, perhaps even more quickly than using convection and isolation (big building that blocks out the heat but allows airflow).
although an interesting part of the video (which I got around to watching) is the use of the tech in england.
