How
to Breathe the Air out of Water - 28 September 2005 |
|
Air
holds water, in a similar way to how water holds air, which is similar
to how a sponge holds water. So just squeeze. (Henry's Law) But how to get it to work most efficiently? I would just spin a perforated pixiwing. The spinning and perforated grating effect will squeeze the air out of the water quite easily. The optimum size for the perforated holes in the pixiwing is about the same as a droplet of water. A drop of water is of course the physical inverse of a bubble, so the air then just bubbles upwards and can be caught in a funnel/pipe. Upside down to pouring water into a jug is how you must of course catch the air. With a large enough perforated pixiwing, one could create quite a large air extractor. However, a small such pixiwing waterbreather, or pixigill, perhaps, , , would be powered by a sucking motion. Just like in the Star Wars movie. :~j |
