no!

post a picture of your bewbs, EK

>>3943789
why?

>>3943800

>>3943789
you fucking idiot, yes it would.

it would be highly inefficient with a leaf, though.

>>3943802
see: >>3943801

>>3943801
because you are trying to use a fucking leaf to catch and condense steam...

It would still catch a small amount of water, though...

hahahah!!

made MY day

>>3943782
Yes, it would work it just wouldn't be that effective. It could be more effective if you kept cold water in the leaf. This would increase the condensation rate and decrease the thermal damage rate to your leaf.

Now, I don't know very much biology, but theoretically leafs should act as a semipermeable membrane. Now using CO2 from the fire and ammonia from decomposed urea, you might be able to make a simple forward osmosis water desalinator. Pic related.

Also, I am beginning to see why people hate EK.

OMFG, i lol'd i would fucking LOVE to see you attempt that IRL.

>>3943897
Stop being a fuckwit and get out.

>>3943897
shut the fuck up and kill yourself

die in a fire

>>3943905
>would this work
>clearly not
>stupid batshit insane plan involving piss, a single leaf, and some uncontainable gas, that even fucking macgyver on DMT couldnt pull off
>and apparetly IM the fuckwit

>>3943919
it's possible. that has indeed been done before, i'll try and find the link.

>>3943945
>i'll try and find the link.
oh this should be good...

Because there is so much wood and leaves in deserts.

>>3943998
Palm trees.

>>3943998
obviously you bring a leaf with you...
for emergencies! :D

>>3943877
seems someone hasn't been keeping up with recent developments in water purification

It really depends on the leaf being a semi-permeable membrane, I am not sure that leaves are semipermeable.

This is a very crude evaporation still. Google it, there are simple ways to improve it.

>>3944012
>I am not sure that leaves are semipermeable.
they arn't!

water can exit via the underside of the leaf, but the entire leaf itself isnt semi permeable.

First time in this board, I'm going through all of them because I'm bored as shit. So the board is as retarded as the rest of 4chan and EK is a girl who trolls the ronery virgins? Cool

>>3944055
Yup.

A single leaf wouldn't collect very much water unless you built an elaborate canopy in a funnel shape to trap the steam, long enough so that most of the steam condenses and far enough from the heat of the fire.

>>3944055
What makes you think more than 50% of /sci/ is retarded?

>>3944088
Been to 10 threads already and they all seem like a more educated cross between /b/ and /soc/. Everybody sucking each other's dick and people arguing about everything. Also there's that "hurr my opinion > your opinion", but that's a trait from the entire site, not only you have it.

Still cool though, I may stick around

>>3944095
>Everybody sucking each other's dick and people arguing about everything
I think you could boil everything down to either of these.

>>3944109
No really, even more than /tv/ or /mu/. The first 2 threads I went into, were this one (and everybody sucking to EK) and another one where everybody is sucking Teacup off (>>3943573).
