This distiller was made from materials that I had handy. The sheetmetal was folded to make a drain tray and also the main body. Marine or exterior plywood could have been used instead. The glass panel was from an old window (measures 870 x 810mm, but other sizes can be used) After folding the sheetmetal and making the two side panels, all were riveted together with pop rivets and then painted black inside and out to help absorb more heat. The joints were then sealed with silicone sealant, tested for leaks and a drain hose fitted as close to the bottom of the drain tray as possible. A 25mm hole was made in the back panel about halfway up to add tap water (could be saltwater too). The glass panel is added last and sealed with silicone sealant to prevent any water vapour escaping. For South Australian conditions, place the distiller with the glass panel facing North-West. On a warm spring day you can expect between 1 and 5 litres of production, on a summers day more.

What is the ideal angle to place a sheet of glass from a holding tank in order to make a solar water distiller
I am located at 9 degrees north of the equator.
I need to angle the glass in order to collect the condensed water. What is the best angle that will give me maximum exposure to the sun and have the water run down the glass to the collection trough?
Is it safe to distill alcohol in a water distiller?
Hi,
I was thinking of distilling some Molasses Alcohol in my water still. Will this produce methanol, and make me blind.
I just watched a video on
that said that it will not produce methonal.
