Yes, except it looks like that only extracts the hot air, and doesn't supply outside air to cool the condenser, you can see the vent on top, which will draw air from the room. So for all the cool air it makes, it uses it to cool the condenser, and blow it outside... In fact, his exhaust hose relies on the air conditioners cooling fan to pump all that air through the hose... I'm pretty certain he'll find that this setup isn't going to work very well...
I thought that as well... I kept asking myself "Is that really doing what he thinks it's doing?"
Like distilled water... Perhaps I should collect it in a bucket, and use it for watering?
I only used my condensate to water the lawn or ornamentals, never for the consumption stuff (veggies, fruits, smokeable, etc.), too many variables I just didn't like. You might be able to run it through an RO for sterilization/cleanliness. I'd never really considered what it would take to make it "safe" for consumption.
