and scientific know-how out of the classroom

和科學知識走出課堂

and into the country.

並進入該國。

Greg: We are going off the grid.

格雷格：我們要離開電網了。

Mitch: One by one, we'll shut off our basic necessities...

米奇。 我們將一個接一個地關閉我們的基本生活用品...

Production has officially turned off our power.

生產部門已經正式關閉了我們的電源。

I'm freaking out.

我嚇壞了。

...allowing us to experiment

...允許我們進行實驗

with everything from new technology,

與從新技術的一切。

to traditional technology,

對傳統技術。

to find solutions that promote sustainability.

以找到促進可持續性的解決方案。

- Oh, my gosh. - Greg: And with help from our team,

- 哦，我的天哪。 格雷格：還有我們團隊的幫助。

we will use science...

我們將利用科學...

Mitch: For a little self-reliance.

米奇。 對於一個小的自力更生。

Yes! It works!

是的！它是有效的。

See ya, city, because...

再見，城市，因為...

Both: This is "Shut It Off Asap."

兩者都是：這是 "儘快關閉它"。

Production has shut off our water.

生產部門已經關閉了我們的水。

Which means we got to find a source of water to survive, basically.

這意味著我們必須找到水源才能生存，基本上。

And water, as you know, is essential.

而水，如你所知，是必不可少的。

There's actually no organism on this planet that we know of

實際上，在這個星球上沒有我們所知的任何生物體

that doesn't need water to survive.

不需要水來生存的。

- Even the famous tardigrade which we're all obsessed-- - Famous tardigrade.

- 即使是我們都很迷戀的著名的慢動作動物---著名的慢動作動物。

The famous tardigrade coming to the stage...

大名鼎鼎的遲鈍動物來到舞臺上......

( air horn blares )

(（空氣喇叭響起）)

...doesn't need food or air,

...不需要食物和空氣。

but does need water,

但確實需要水。

and Canadians use 329 liters of water a day.

和加拿大人每天使用329升的水。

That's a lot of bathing that we're doing,

我們正在做的是大量的洗浴。

long showers that we're taking.

我們正在進行的長時間淋浴。

Its even more water being used than Americans,

其使用的水甚至比美國人還多。

and no Canadian would ever want an American to know that we use more.

沒有一個加拿大人會想讓美國人知道我們使用更多。

More than most of the world, honestly.

老實說，比世界上大多數國家都要多。

So I think we have our work cut out for us to make sure

所以我認為我們有我們的工作要做，以確保

we can supply ourselves with enough water to survive.

我們可以為自己提供足夠的水來生存。

And if we can't do that, at least this is a gorgeous place to die.

如果我們不能做到這一點，至少這是一個華麗的死亡之地。

Mitch: This farm is in an isolated rural community.

Going to the corner store to pick up some water is not an option.

去街角的商店買點水是不可能的。

The very first things I do every single day involve a lot of water.

我每天做的第一件事就是大量飲水。

And so to fully disrupt that

是以，為了完全打亂這一點

is going to be a complete lifestyle shift.

將是一個完全的生活方式轉變。

The water crisis is real.

水危機是真實的。

In less than 20 years, the world's demand

在不到20年的時間裡，世界上的需求

for fresh water will be more than the supply.

對淡水的需求將超過供應量。

But only if we continue to extract and consume water the way we do right now.

但前提是我們要繼續以現在的方式提取和消耗水。

Most of the world relies on groundwater or aquifers that are running out fast,

世界上大部分地區依賴地下水或含水層，而這些地下水或含水層正在迅速耗盡。

so today we're going to be harvesting water from the air,

所以今天我們要從空氣中採集水。

the rain, and nearby streams

雨，和附近的溪流

to show alternative ways we can get the stuff.

以顯示我們可以通過其他方式獲得這些東西。

And who knows? In the future, these concepts may save our lives.

而且誰知道呢？ 在未來，這些概念可能會拯救我們的生命。

Our water goal for survival is 2.5 liters of water for drinking,

我們的生存用水目標是2.5升的水供飲用。

3 liters for cooking, and only 2 liters for bathing our pits and bodies.

3升用於烹飪，只有2升用於給我們的坑和身體洗澡。

Which is hundreds less than we would typically use, right?

這比我們通常使用的要少數百個，對嗎？

And even that, I'm like, I think I need to conserve even more.

即使這樣，我也想，我想我需要更多的節約。

I'm just nervous about how we're going to get this water.

我只是對我們如何獲得這些水感到緊張。

- Have you heard of a dew harvester before? - No.

- 你以前聽說過露水收割機嗎？- 沒有。

So these are actually used in certain regions in the world where water is scarce

是以，這些實際上被用於世界上某些缺水的地區。

or access to water is really far away.

或獲得水的地方真的很遠。

They can collect anywhere between 10 to 100 liters

它們可以收集10至100升的任何地方。

of water a day from something like this.

每天從這樣的東西中獲得的水。

This is just a model, but the real thing will be built 10 meters tall.

這只是一個模型，但真正的東西將建成10米高。

- No! - Like, five versions of us. Huge.

- 不!- 像，五個版本的我們。 巨大的。

And the premise of it is to try and extract water out of the air

而它的前提是試圖從空氣中提取水分

even when it's not raining through condensation and dew.

即使在沒有下雨的時候，通過冷凝和露水。

Mine is a rainwater collection system that we're actually going to install onto our cabin.

我的是一個雨水收集系統，我們實際上要把它安裝到我們的小屋。

- Cool. Okay, okay. - I'm going to drill.

- 很好。好的，好的。- 我要去鑽了。

I'm going to make eavestroughs, slant them all towards a specific collection tank,

我打算做簷槽，把它們都斜向一個特定的收集槽。

which we're actually going to raise.

我們實際上要提高的。

We're going to be collecting the water in this tank

我們將在這個水箱中收集水

and using a tube and the force of gravity.

並使用管子和重力的力量。

I'm hoping that I can connect it to our faucet

我希望我可以把它連接到我們的水龍頭上。

so that we can use the water to wash our dishes, wash our hands.

這樣我們就可以用這些水來洗碗，洗手。

And I'm also hoping that we can get a pump system to create a shower.

我還希望我們能有一個泵系統來創造一個淋浴。

- Key. - Key, key, key.

- 鑰匙。- 鑰匙，鑰匙，鑰匙。

- I've been wondering. I was going to wonder. - Key, key, key.

- 我一直在懷疑。 我一直想知道。- 鑰匙，鑰匙，鑰匙。

So it comes potentially from that same tank.

所以它有可能來自同一個油箱。

- This is thine hope. - These are both fun, big ideas,

- 這是你的希望。- 這些都是有趣的大想法。

but it's not about the size of the project that matters.

但重要的不是項目的規模。

it's about making sure we're able to collect enough water to survive,

這是為了確保我們能夠收集足夠的水來生存。

and I'm getting thirsty.

而且我開始口渴了。

So let's begin the build starting with the dew tower.

是以，讓我們從露水塔開始建造。

I'm glad I have a build team with me to point me in the right direction

我很高興有一個建造團隊和我一起為我指出正確的方向

because I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

因為我不知道我到底在做什麼。

I'm supervising, if that's all right.

我在監督，如果可以的話。

Here's a perfect little experiment to help understand

這裡有一個完美的小實驗來幫助理解

how our dew tower's actually going to work.

我們的露水塔實際上是如何工作的。

You know when you get a nice ice water

你知道當你得到一個漂亮的冰水

and the outside of the glass starts to fog or actually get wet?

和玻璃外面開始起霧或實際上被弄溼？

It's because warm air actually holds more moisture than cold air.

這是因為暖空氣實際上比冷空氣擁有更多的水分。

So as the warm air blows past this nice cold water,

是以，當暖空氣吹過這些漂亮的冷水時。

it decreases in temperature,

它的溫度會下降。

and hits something called the dew point,

並碰到了一個叫露點的東西。

where it deposits water from the air onto the glass.

在那裡，它將空氣中的水沉積到玻璃上。

It's the reason this glass with no ice has no wetness

這就是這個沒有冰塊的杯子沒有溼氣的原因

because the air doesn't really change its temperature very much.

因為空氣的溫度其實變化不大。

That's actually the same principle as our dew tower.

這實際上與我們的露水塔的原理相同。

The plastic has air blowing through it,

塑膠有空氣吹過。

and at night, this plastic is going to cool down more than the air.

而到了晚上，這種塑膠會比空氣更容易降溫。

And the hope is that it will hit the dew point,

而希望是能達到露點。

where the air can't hold the water anymore.

空氣不能再容納水的地方。

It deposits on this, trickles down into our jug,

它沉積於此，涓涓細流進入我們的壺中。

and that's how we're going to get water.

而這就是我們要獲得水的方式。

Once the dew collects, we have drips.

一旦露水聚集，我們就會有滴水。

Dripping, the force of gravity forcing it down.

滴滴答答，重力的力量迫使它下降。

Force of gravity. And then we have a funnel to collect all this water.

重力的作用。然後我們有一個漏斗來收集所有這些水。

- Oh, my gosh. - And then how we have the bucket at the bottom.

- 哦，我的天哪！然後我們如何在底部有一個桶。

Every morning we can go and check and see how much water we actually have underneath.

每天早上我們可以去檢查，看看我們下面到底有多少水。

How did you think of this?

你是怎麼想到的呢？

I mean, well, it was actually inspired by nature,

我的意思是，好吧，它的靈感實際上是來自大自然。

something called biomimicry.

稱為生物仿生學的東西。

For example, the atlas moth, which evolved wings

例如，進化出翅膀的阿特拉斯飛蛾

that look like two cobra heads.

這看起來像兩個眼鏡蛇的頭。

This helps protect it from being eaten

這有助於保護它不被吃掉

by visual predators such as birds.

視覺捕食者，如鳥類。

Biomimicry is a field of study in which humans

生物仿生學是一個研究領域，其中人類

actively seek out advantageous traits of other species to make our lives better.

積極尋找其他物種的有利特徵，使我們的生活更美好。

This dew harvester is based on traits of the namib beetle.

這種露水收割機是基於納米布甲蟲的性狀。

Namib beetles live in dry conditions

納米布甲蟲生活在乾燥的環境中

and lean their bodies towards fog-dense wind

並將他們的身體向霧氣濃重的風中傾斜

to collect water from microscopic bumps on their back,

以便從其背上的微觀凸起處收集水。

which they then drink.

然後他們喝了。

Studying these animals has led

對這些動物的研究導致了

to fog and dew harvesters all over the world,

到世界各地的霧和露水收割機。

like in Morocco, where people in the Sahara Desert use mesh

比如在摩洛哥，撒哈拉沙漠中的人們使用網眼

to capture fog and dew for themselves.

來為自己捕捉霧和露水。

I love that with scientific design.

我喜歡這樣的科學設計。

We're always trying to figure out things.

我們一直在試圖弄清事情。

Just look to nature and you'll find the answers.

只要向大自然看，你就會找到答案。

It can actually just be inspired by the world around us.

實際上，它可以只是受到我們周圍世界的啟發。

Yeah.

是的。

We're starting our rainwater collection system today,

我們今天開始了我們的雨水收集系統。

and I do obviously need help.

而我顯然需要幫助。

So we have Kevin from the YouTube Channel Modern Self Reliance,

所以我們有來自YouTube頻道《現代自力更生》的凱文。

who is going to help me with some self-relying.

是誰要幫我做一些自我依靠。

What do we have here? This is the main bread and butter

我們這裡有什麼？這是主要的麵包和黃油

- of what we're about to do? - Yes, this is the eave trough.

- 我們要做什麼？- 是的，這就是屋簷槽。

So what do I do? Just lift it? Is it heavy?

那我該怎麼做？只是抬起來嗎？它很重嗎？

- It's not heavy. - Oh, my God. Look how--

- 這不是很重。- 哦，我的上帝。你看怎麼...

- Look at that! - It makes you feel strong, right?

- 看看這個!- 這讓你感覺很強大，對嗎？

- Seriously, get this. Say that it's heavy. - It's heavy.

- 認真地說，得到這個。 說它很重。- 它很重。

Oh, it's so heavy.

哦，它是如此沉重。

Kevin and I are going to install the eavestrough

凱文和我準備安裝簷槽

on the bunky to collect the rainwater in a barrel.

在下鋪上，將雨水收集到一個桶裡。

The water will be unfiltered, so it's not safe to drink,

這些水將是未經過濾的，所以不能安全飲用。

but we can use it to wash our dishes and our bodies.

但我們可以用它來洗我們的碗和我們的身體。

And we're going to need it, because over 80 percent of household water

而且我們將需要它，因為超過80%的家庭用水

is used for showering, washing clothes,

是用於淋浴、洗衣服的。

watering the lawn, and flushing thine toilet.

澆灌草坪，沖刷廁所。

I avoid drills. I avoid building things.

我避免操練。我避免建造東西。

I don't really know why I'm making this show

我真的不知道我為什麼要做這個節目

now that I'm saying all of this out loud.

現在我把這些都說出來了。

I think that I can defy stereotypes about gay men,

我認為我可以藐視關於男同性戀的陳規定型觀念。

and I can do ( bleep ) do this.

而且我可以做（嗶）做這個。

- Are we allowed to swear? - We can bleep it.

- 我們可以說髒話嗎？- 我們可以把它刪掉。

- Okay. - Uh, so ( bleeping )

- 好的 呃，所以（嗶嗶聲）。

When we install the eavestrough,

當我們安裝簷槽的時候。

we need to make sure that each section is slanted toward the end points

我們需要確保每個部分都是向終點傾斜的

so all the rainwater will travel downhill

所以所有的雨水都會順著山勢流下

and drain into our rain barrel.

並排入我們的雨桶。

Okay, so this cut to the right angle is going to go into...

好的，所以這個切向右的角度要進入......。

It's going to go straight into that one.

它將直接進入那個。

So we're about to do some math, my friend.

所以我們要做一些數學題了，我的朋友。

- 43. - 43 and a quarter, sir, coming right up.

- 43。 - 43和25，先生，馬上就到了。

Now we're going to cut this. That's so scary to me.

現在我們要把這個剪掉。這對我來說太嚇人了。

How is this a saw? If I do this, nothing bad will happen, right?

這怎麼會是鋸子呢？如果我這樣做，不會發生什麼壞事，對嗎？

You can pull it and as long as it's-- oh, there you go.

你可以拉它，只要它是......哦，你去吧。

- Oh! - You're just going to plunge cut.

- 哦！--你就是要猛砍。

- Just go nice and slow. - Oh, my God.

- 只要好好地、慢慢地走。- 哦，我的上帝。

Okay, okay! I swear I can do it.

好的，好的!我發誓我可以做到。

Commit to it. Do it.

致力於此。做到這一點。

- There you go. - Aah!

- 你去那裡。- Aah!

Oh, my God!

哦，我的天啊!

I want to do that for the rest of the day.

我想在餘下的日子裡這樣做。

All right, special delivery, boys.

好了，特快專遞，孩子們。

- Whew! Okay. - Okay, we're taking this side.

- 嗚呼!好的 好的，我們站在這一邊。

We have all the lattice put together.

我們已經把所有的格子放在一起了。

Everything is ready other than this mesh being tied in

除了這個網子被綁住之外，一切都準備好了。

as sort of the final piece to this segment.

作為這個部分的最後一塊。

The dew tower is 10 meters tall

露水塔有10米高

because the larger the surface area of plastic netting,

因為塑料網的表面積越大。

the more dew that can form, which means more water for us.

形成的露水就越多，這意味著我們有更多的水。

We've got the first section done,

我們已經完成了第一部分。

which was a task in itself,

這本身就是一項任務。

but hopefully the first one was the hardest one.

但希望第一個是最難的一個。

Then we have to make the other four segments,

然後，我們必須製作其他四個片段。

and then eventually stack them one on top of the other.

然後最終將它們一個個疊加起來。

We have a lot of work to do.

我們有很多工作要做。

But we also still need to figure out what we're doing now

但我們也仍然需要弄清楚我們現在在做什麼

for our drinking water situation.

為我們的飲用水情況。

Yeah, 'tis essential.

是的，這一點至關重要。

And so is a chance to bathe.

而洗澡的機會也是如此。

It's over 30 degrees out, and all this work is making me a sweaty mess.

外面溫度超過30度，所有這些工作都讓我汗流浹背。

Oh, wow.

哦，哇。

We've been told that there's some stream or body of water

我們被告知，有一些溪流或水體

down in the forested area around here.

在這附近的林區裡，有很多人都是如此。

And to be honest, there needs to be,

而且說實話，需要有。

or else we're literally screwed for water,

否則，我們的水就真的要完蛋了。

because it has to rain.

因為它必須要下雨。

Mitch: Please tell me there's not ticks here.

米奇。請告訴我這裡沒有蝨子。

Why did I wear shorts?

( groans )

( 呻吟聲 )

I'm scared. Wait for me!
