I’m not sure how you would capture the ‘energy of evaporation’. Water evaporates in response to solar energy being applied to it…energy is applied until the water warms enough to become a gas. If you somehow capture the energy of this process, you would be robbing energy needed to heat the water, and the water would never evaporate…and once it has evaporated, aren’t you then capturing the energy of condensation? Is the goal to prevent evaporation? Because that seems like a bad idea.
\nI don’t get it.<\/p>\n
