So, I'm curious... what do people think of spng and/or gel sucking water out of water/element solutions? this could also take place between: salt+watr, c02+watr,and any other solute/solvent solution.

-As an example, I'll use pste.

• you start out with pste, spng/gel.
• pste approaches spng/gel.
• pste touches gel/spng, turns into clst as watr has been taken away, and spng/gel absorb watr.
• you are left with clst and watr+spng/gel.

Uses: self building, transporting water through non-water friendly areas, "reverse osmosis", and easier heat transfer(hot material+spng=cool material+wet/hot spng,=>wtrv).

*Could potentially work the other way, with wet spng turning clst into pste.*

well, I'm pleased about the positive feedback, And to awnser jenn4's question: the water would be absorbed by spng/gel and there are ways to take watr from spng, just heat it and the watr is released as steam. 

*btw, is there a way to dehydrate gel?

but that's in essence "deleting" the water. If there were a way to remove water directly from the gel...
