Short mention of today's water experiment

Yes, I'm doing this again.

The latest involved the use of saran wrap and a longer run time of 2 hours.

Results:

Water beginning: 56 ounces
Water ending:      37 ounces

Water processed 19 ounces

Water collected from condensation

Ozarka:  6 ounces  ( spillage of at least 1 ounce )
              7 ounces

From container: 4 ounces

Total collected:  11 ounces

processed minus collected equals lost:  19-11-8

The lost figure may be an underestimate of the water lost in spillage.  Still, it is an unexpectedly large number.

The number was expected to be a constant number or a number that grew more slowly than the collected number.  This held true, but it also increased at a faster clip than after 1 hour.  8 ounces v. 3 ounces

The collected went from 4 ounces to 11.  Nearly tripled.  In fact, both nearly tripled.  The amount processed more than doubled, which was unexpected as well.

An interesting observation:  the ratio between processed and lost was nearly exactly the same.

19/ 7  v. 8/3 equal approx 2.7

But the amount collected had a higher ratio  11/4 equal approx. 3.7.  The difference between ratios in nearly one.  Is that significant for some reason?

I'm going to try this yet again, but I've got chores to do.  Until later today, signing off.

Update:

One more time.  I was going for a two hour attempt, but the apparatus started falling apart.  I quickly put it back together again without too much damage ( I think ).  The results were a bit surprising.  I used plenty more saran wrap and it really cut down on the losses inside the container.  It may have contributed to overall efficiency of the system, but losses were still too high.  I stopped it after 1 hour.

Results:

Water beginning: 48 ounces
Water ending:      38 ounces

Water processed 10 ounces

Water collected from condensation

Ozarka:  4 ounces

From container: 2 ounces

Total collected:  6 ounces

processed minus collected equals lost:  10-6= 4

processed v lost ratio 10/4=2.5

The addition of the saran wrap helps produce more and collect more.  Losses seem to increase too, oddly enough.

That's it for this weekend.  The next two weekends, I'll probably be doing something else.
