If you were to make a wireless shower head, would it have hydrogen molecules and suck in the oxygen from the air to create water? Would you have to recharge it with hydrogen?

    Was this a thought you had in the shower, or a thought you had about showers?

    Also, the pipe carrying water to the showerhead isn’t a wire or cord, and therefore every showerhead is wireless.

    Ibwas about to dislike (not downvote) this one, but after a second of thought, this is great. Because it doesn’t make practical sense, but at least isn’t something based in a fault of understanding of the real world, so good job

    man, I hate it when I’m tired after a long day at work and I take a long, hot shower, because if I let my mind wander and stay in the shower just a little bit too long i fucking suffocate

      You’d obviously have to wear an oxygen tank to use the wireless device. This device is designed for applications where there is an oxygen tank, but no way to connect the showerhead to the water pipelines.

    This is not your original shower thought, this is the same shower thought had by Max Pruss, captain of the LZ 129 Hindenburg.

    It might not be a good idea to create a device that sucks all the oxygen out of an enclosed space meant for a human during operation 💀

    My wireless shower head does’t use hydrogen, it just uses a hose to supply the water. No wires though.

    I have engineered a solution for exactly this, believe it or not.

    The shower system consists of carbon doped ferrous material coated with a zinc passivation agent. There is a flow control subsystem made of a Cu-Zn alloy which also causes aerosolization of the hydrogen-oxygen payload. The hydrogen-oxygen mixture is pre-processed in a large volume nitrogen container, and precipitated down to the shower system using a combination of thermal effects and manipulation of ambient pressure.

    Works really well, only limitation is the amount of precipitate available.

    In other words, it’s a metal rain bucket with a faucet.

    It would just have a non-removable refillable dihydrogen monoxide battery like all modern wireless devices.

    I imagine a wireless shower head could just be a squirt gun type deal with a shower head on the end.

    Or, to stay close to your example, why not two canisters, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Then you’re not sucking all the oxygen in the room.
