Wow, you got that completely backwards.

Not really.


Yes you did.

No, he didn't, in context. The guy is in the Sahara....



What is the context about the statement "converting water vapor to
liquid consumes energy". That statement is in fact backwards. Water
vapor contains more energy than liquid water - about 9.8 kcal/mole, if
memory serves me.

The energy IS consumed and charged against the fuel cell.

Conceivably, if the fuel cell system output liquid water, it would be
more efficient by the latent heat difference.

Throwing away the heat --- throws it away.
