No singularities are involved in condensing water out of the atmosphere in this device or any other device. Not in any way.

Further, this is not the only device that has been designed to condense and collect atmospheric water. Here's a starting point for investigating them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator

More information on functional devices at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_well_(condenser)

The video does not explain anything scientifically. Rather, it misuses scientific concepts in inappropriate and inaccurate ways. "Spirit science" is not science at all, it seems.

YouTube is not necessarily a reliable source for scientific information.
