<<Good point, Christopher. I noticed the math on this one, too, and believe
what might have been meant was that 6,000 gal/day can be had from a
condenser with 1,000 square-foot FOOTPRINT, about a 32-foot-square
building. The actual condensation area would have been MUCH larger. 6
gal/day from one square foot of actual condensation surface would cover
that square foot with ~9 inches of water.

actually, someone else posted the math, I can't take credit for it. I just
reposted the whole thing as a request for more info/experience, as it seemed
a little out of the realm of the physically possible. where I am in northern
california there is a tremendous amount of accumulated dew on anything metal
or plastic, but no where near what this is suggesting. haven't contacted the
author yet though I intend to. will report back what I find out.
hope all are well,
