But aren’t the “debunkings” rather cursory and dismissive?
Instead I think real engineering relies on tradeoffs, certain areas of a multidimensional space where an idea makes sense - and others where it doesn’t.
Watch them and find out? He explains why it takes so much energy to boil and condense water, calculates out and explains how many Joules to condense a litre of water, how long that would take for various solar panel sizes, compares the solar-water-collector against mains powered dehumidifiers, compares the solar collectors against using the same size panel as a rainwater catcher in different environments, compares it against the price and time to get 10,000 litres of water in a tanker and drive it a thousand kilometers, talks about the product's claimed size, isntallation cost or use cases and how they don't make sense.
I see his style is divisive, but I don't think they are cursory, at least the two I linked; he's clearly put hours of time into making them, it's not just him talking and laughing recorded in 20 minutes.
This doesn't use solar electric though. It (mainly) uses direct solar heat. It also doesn't use any kind of peltier cooling. It's a largely passive device with a few minor electric components that won't draw much power.
People using his "rather cursory and dismissive" debunking to debunk other very different technology is kind of annoying.
