Then if you add some condensing coils and a transparent roof, you could also just leave the backpacking food in there and it'll slowly get moist and solar cook. After a twelve hour hike you'd get lukewarm edible mud, mmm.
Explosions are a minor risk, but if you can make water out of the hydrogen anyway, surely you can put out any resultant wildfires.
Cyberpunk Smokey would be proud.
Seriously though, I've often wondered if a weather balloon style lifter tethered to a backpack could help it be lighter. Probably with a less flammable gas, and only in sparsely forested areas.
as far as helium balloon, it would have to be a balloon of such enormous size to be of any benefit. To launch a couple pounds of payload to 90k feet required a balloon 8' in diameter on the ground.
So in principle you could carry a bottle of methane and burn that to get water. ;-)
You "just" have to capture and cool it down.
I mean, it's completely outside of viability, but it's not breaking ground science. You could do it perfectly well in a lab (if you had any reason to).
You can turn methane into water in theory. And you can technically do it in a lab (even though the easiest way by far to do it uses a lot of water). You can't do it on your backpack.
Not like I know how this stuff works. Someone says methane turns into water when burned, I imagine based on farts that it floats like in a nice balloon or Hindenburg, I figure this do be how this was intended ¯\_(:))_/¯
You realize this whole thread started with the concept of dehydrated water, right?
This kind of super-broad patent enforcement happened with 3D printing, and is still happening with e-ink technology. In both cases, the patents didn't have centuries of prior art covering what would otherwise have been entire industries, and could protect their monopolies for 20 years.
And possibly the physicality of a dead-tree library carries this effect more forcibly than an online shopping list.
Pardon my latin.
Should be "sensors" (used correctly a few sentences later). Is this a text-to-speech thing, or written by a non-native speaker, or just appalling editing?

Difficulty to having parse.
Vacation, funerals, religious holy-days?
Feels funny to read this. Always thought that Pascha was a Jewish holiday, which was later eclipsed by Easter (The Last Supper that Jesus had with his disciples was them celebrating the Pascha)
Boss: "What for?"
Me: "It's P."
She never asked again.
(I'm guessing you mean Private Time Off?)
Basically paternity / maternity leave, sick leave, vacation, jury duty, bank holiday, or whatever else is in the company's PTO policy...
Confusingly, paid time off (with the same abbreviation) is also sometimes used in the more obvious sense encompassing all or most paid leave (including some or all of things like bereavement, company/public holidays, paid time for administrative shutdowns, etc.)
(All of this is in the U.S.)
And I'm also in the U.S.
