But it goes back to the fact that if you can bring clean water and affordable energy to anybody on the planet without the need for a water system that drills into the ground and depletes an aquifer, or the aquifer gets polluted by these forever chemicals,
If you can have a source that draws fresh, clean water from the air anywhere on the planet, and you have energy for people and information for them to build their own economy and throw off the shackles of tyranny and slavery, you have ushered in the golden age. And that's what President Trump is allowing us to do now. And these innovations are gonna change the world.

Well, here's the reason it hasn't been done before is because the energy, the laws of thermodynamics don't change. And using like an air conditioning system or a condenser or a dehumidifier as a method, it's like five gallons of diesel for one gallon of water. So the efficiency is not there.

But what we did at Genesis Systems, what these brilliant engineers did is they found a way of tricking Mother Nature. where they used a liquid desiccant to be able to make the liquid desiccant so attractive to water in the air that all you do is have to have a very light fan blowing water over a sieve that's filled with this liquid. And the sieve is like a sponge.

Okay, this water, or the liquid desiccant is like a sponge. Imagine there's one gallon of liquid in this sieve, and the air flows over it. That liquid will swell up to 100 gallons. 99 of the gallons of that liquid is pure water. Then you move it into another batch, and you change the thermal characteristics of the liquid, and that's where the proprietary and...

trade secrets and intellectual property come in. You change the thermal properties of that liquid, and now the liquid wants to give up the water. And so it takes very little energy to absorb the water and then release the water. And so it's in this batch cycle like an engine.

It's swelling up to 100 gallons, getting rid of 100 gallons, swelling up to 100 gallons, getting rid of, and then now you benefit from water. And it scales. So the city of Tampa, for example, as I was transitioning from that company, which by the way, that system of water management is what we're gonna use in space habitats.

And we can talk about, again, these companies are connected, not only for the benefit of the human condition of water and electricity and energy, and information, but also for human space flight and human habitats in space, and we'll get to that in a second. But now the city of Tampa was partnering with Genesis Systems to build a 30 million gallon a day
