water collecting vase, modelling and testing.
to prove that my theory for my idea works ive conducted some testing and made some models to explain the process. I can happily say that my idea works even on materials that are bad at collecting condensation such as plastic. these models are not meant to have any aesthetical appeal as they are just crude models to show the process however I have played around with the shape of some models to try an create better surfaces for collecting water.
so in the pictures of the large 2lr bottle you can see that plastic has done a mediocre job of collecting condensation I think its because its to warm and the condensation wont cool down quickly enough to return to liquid state. so I looked at other materials such as glass and aluminium, as you can see in pictures 2 and 3, so the glass tumbler collected a lot of moisture but struggled to turn it back to liquid. but the aluminium can collected the condensation very well and returned it back to its liquid state far quicker than the glass. as you can see it the picture below, this is just after 2 days of being in my bathroom and it has collected a considerable amount of water. enough to provide a family of 4 with water to brush their teeth.
