You are correct about the low need, our current pressure pump is way less than that. You may also be correct about a generator being an easy solution, but I really can't stand generators, they are so pollutive and such an anathema for an eco-resort. Compressed air seemed like an interesting...

We run an eco-resort and although we would be happy with low pressure our guests would not I work full time in the international Aid sector and haven't found anything there yet

haha @phinds thanks!

My vote for the next 20 years would be for the continued expansion of the impact of the internet through 5g and the internet of things. This combined with decreasing cost of sustainable energy sources and improving energy storage technology will simply see more and more of everything around us...

Thanks @jedishrfu I was pleasantly surprised to find this forum and been more impressed when i saw how friendly and helpful the tone of most replies I have read has been. very cool :)

That would still require a tower at each bungalow, sure not as strong a tower but still just as tall, and in compiling the water in one place let's me average out the amount of water needed and use a lower volume in the air, as it is unlikely all bungalows would be full at the same time and use...

Hey Anorlunda, thanks for the rapid reply. My concern about the water tower is that i need quite some height to get enough pressure, and that I really am in a highly tectonically volatile area, My village was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 2006 and has some pretty impressive shakes...

Surely the trick to overcome the dewpoint issue is simply to use a thermostat to control the system and ensure the floor never drops below say 18 or 19 degrees. ..

Hi As I just posted in my first question, I am an international aid worker, working primarily in coordination of major disasters across Asia. In between disasters I am building and running a small eco-resort and trying to resolve a range of sustainable technology solutions to make it work.

Hi there, I have a few interesting problems that I have been exploring for a while now, but i quickly get beyond my level of knowledge of physics, so wondered if members of this Forum may be able to assist. One of the projects that we have been trying to solve is how to maintain a decent quality...
