regpye asked:

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.

The h2olabs Home Water Distillation System produces the purest water available. Bottled water, filtered water and reverse osmosis can’t compare. Susan details the results of water that has been filtered by the top two home water filters and then the filtered water is distilled by the h2olabs Home water distiller. You see the results.

rick m asked:

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?

Robert asked:

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.

NewBizCup asked:

This is a prototype of sea water distiller. The energy of condensation is used to heat the incoming cold water up to 100°C. The energy of outcoming hot brine is used to set the stirling engine in motion, which pumps the water from sea into device.

El fagguito asked:

How much vapor would escape through the hole in relation to the water that condensates as a function of the surface of the hole?

jacob s asked:

can a regular water distiller that you buy to distill water be used to distill alcohol?

wannabe commodity success asked:

I would like to purchase a good quality countertop water distiller, without spending much money if possible. I also care about the ease of maintenence and cleaning. I want to use about two gallons of water per day, perhaps three, and to be able to keep it clean without much work. Also I need something that won’t break down and will last at least one year. Any suggestions appreciated as to the type to get. I would like to avoid the cheapest models or ones that can break soon or not provide truly distilled, quality water. The healthiest and cleanest water is my first concern.

I’m looking for another water purifier. Water Wise has raised their prices too much! Sears no long makes one. What do you recommend for less than $300?
