Humidity Daisy Chain

Do you know the Humidity Daisy Chain?

A childhood daisy-chain is attached with staples or glue to make interlocking loops of paper into a chain. Picture a daisy chain with different sizes of loops. Now shrink your picture to the microscopic level. Then please mentally shrink the daisy-chain smaller to the molecular level.

In the kindergarten size when you pulled on one end... the loops elongated, or the paper tore and the chain was broken. You probably understand that in the classroom, the paper loops are what provides the connection for a force to move the daisy-chain up, down or anywhere.

At the molecular level breakage is not allowed. Stretching is allowed, but not breaking (there are exceptions that are mind-boggling to this rule).

This is a visual explanation of how condensation works. Post # 2. Because many don’t know.

The rest of the story is a http/:www.gleamingwaterllc.com

 

The missing piece of information you need is that the pull (the force) is caused by a molecular concentration gradient of humidity. Water Vapor becomes liquid at the coldest location. Which is at the ninety-nine percent humidity level (high point of the gradient).

But liquid water is zero percent humidity or near zero. Zero percent humidity is the lowest energy level. Energy was released as the vapor became liquid, and that’s how the liquid becomes the lowest energy level.

This water vapor-liquid water concentration gradient is the force that moves water vapor. That force is weak but constant and unbreakable. The force cannot get stronger than 99 to zero. That is a maximum force. And it is a continuous gradient. The sun’s energy in the water vapor molecule is the original power for the force.

Engineers ignore this force because... actually we don’t know why they do. But the entire HVAC industry ignores this force.

The next step is using this concentration gradient energy to our benefit, (Post 3).
