I have done a fair amount of water research document review during the past 35 years. The pesticide HCB (Hexachlorobenzene) is present in every natural drinking water source, and is also present in the sediment. This is due to the inadvertent production of HCB from pulp mils, oil refineries, and now the Garbage Incinerators. The Gamma Isomer of Benzene interacts with sunlight, in the presence of certain other compounds, and POOF! It's magic. Pesticide.
It would be easy to make this distiller sevral hundred feet long for more distiled water output and the feed water would become highly mineralized and make a good fertilizer for non food crops such as cotton or algee for feul production.
...the water you begin with. It can't have ever been in plastic, especially if that bottle was exposed to sunlight. The plastic will produce minimum two hazardous products. The water, if it contains pesticide/fungicide/herbicide will also react with sunlight.
There is a comment regarding availability of distilled water. That issue is already addressed by "ozonating" all bottled water. Ozone in bottled water produces the Genotoxic byproduct Potassium Bromate. This is BAD STUFF.
@frootloopsian This unit was designed for hydrogen fuel cell use, so all of the comments that you have made are towards drinking water I would expect.
So basically what you're saying is that life is hopeless and we'll all die terrible deaths and we may as well stop eating and drinking right this very moment to make it all end more quickly?
Couple hints. Never use materials which may react with the Gamma Isomer (sun light) and produce carcinogens, mutagens, etc. Paints, coatings, plastics, rubber, wood all produce benzene which react with sunlight. Use stainless steel for the tub, trough, and glass mount. Use cork only for the seals. Use pyrex for the recovery tube, and if it needs to be bent, do it with a bunsen burner. Use only tinted glass bottles for the water, if exposed to sunlight. There is another issue here regarding ...
which kind of glass did you use? A normal window glass? I am wondering that the water does not steam the glass like it is on this video here: S0Ecer9cFko
In my new distiller, the glass does not steam too, so what could the steaming cause?
@regpye yes, I am noticing that too. I just build a similar item before with a plastic glass and it was totally steamed so that all the sunlight was broken and could not reach the bottom anymore.
@crapmanism There is a vertical edge that the glass rests against. The sides have a turned over edge that also supports the glass, the back you can see clearly in the drawing. At the front where the glass rests against the vertical lip, run a bead of silicone sealant along the top. It was designed this way on purpose, because the water vapour collects on the glass and runs down the underside of the glass to drop off the edge and fall into the sheet metal trough so it can run out at one end..
@regpye ok, perfect :) Thank you for your detailled anzwer!
But I have another question: Does the slope / aptitude of the glass (difference of 20 cm height between back and front) cause a drip off back into the raw water basin again? I am right now uploading a video to show you what i mean :)
@crapmanism I found on mine that the water runs down the under surface of the glass and drips off the lower corner edge of the glass, straight into the small trough.
@ravenpearl1 How can I help you? There are several ways that this unit could be built, I just used what was available at the time, but it works very well.
Mother Earth News and popular mechanics both did this back in the 1970's the shape was the same but they did a roof system just like this useing glass, and a toilet float valve to keep the bottom chambe full and used dark lava rocks in the base to help give more suface area for evaporation and heat transfor. and a tube that kepts a container in the home filled with fresh distilled water.
@1crazyfocker What a wonderful idea. I may build one for home use and use myself. The model in the video is for industrial use, but drinking the water is fine, I have tasted it and it is far better than the tap water.
@regpye i got the plans, but they are packed right now. if you ask me again in 2 months i can scan them for you or at least tell you what book they are in. but i am in the middle of moving right now.
ATTENTION EVERYBODY WHO DRINKS DISTILLED WATER PLEASE READ!!!
ok i have a few questions for you.
1. do you drink it everyday?
2. have you been drinking it for many years?
3. have you had any adverse reactions to it?
the reason i am asking this is because i want to know if it is safe to drink for long term consumption. there is so many lies about water, and i have yet to find any scientific study's proving it is safe for long term consumption, but i have also not found any that prove it is bad.
Im thinking about building one of these as well after i heard they are dumping harmful chemicals in out tap water, its kinda sad when i look at so many people who have all these health problems and wonder if there is possibility it was the water that did that to them.
@arcticwolfx8 Yes I agree with you. Although I designed this for producing distilled water for industrial use, I have tasted it and it is quite pleasant and clean.
It certainly tastes much better than the tap water and it doesn't have the awful smell that tap water has, in fact it has no smell at all.
@whateverujoke Next US elections there will be scandals...people will not support the elected president and will protest. This will freeze the diminishing economy (thanks to Obama) collapsing the US dollar and affecting all money world-wide. The US government will fall and be replaced by a fascist oligarchical state controlled by the rich and powerful via CIA. This system will abuse other countries and WWIII may emerge. Pray that the US military stays loyal to the American citizens.
@guruji243 It was designed for industrial use, not drinking, but some would prefer to drink this than the tap water that smells terrible, and also tastes rotten too.
What is wrong with drinking distilled water for all ones drinking of water ? All other water that I drank, seems to have the wrong minerals, and causes me arthritis problems. I am considering switching now to distilled water for all water drinking. Who sells a solar distiller, and where are the plans ? Paul Bragg in all his books writes about how wrong minerals in water is the cause of arthritis and other problems.
@trader0108 Thanks for that link, very interesting.
I would also like to comment on the one I have built and the plans that are available on my website and this channel.
I have noticed that in the cold weather, if the filler hole is left uncovered the system works from condensing the water vapour in the air. To my surprise I found that the 20 litre jerry that catches the distilled water from the system was full (overflowing in fact) and I had not filled the unit up with water for distilling.
So...since this video is rated under auto, is it safe for humans to drink? Isn't there going to be toxins running off the sheet metal? Thanks for clarifying the safety of drinking distilled water from this device.
Yes the device was designed for auto use, but if someone wanted to use it for drinking water then the sheet metal could be replaced with stainless steel. Stainless steel would have the downside of being bright and shiny that would reduce the water output. Another method would be to paint the sheet metal with a suitable potable paint that would not effect the water quality.
Drinking distilled water should only be done in an emergency as it is not good for health.
@regpye Distilled water actually absorbs discarded minerals. The blood and lymph (mostly water), transports them to the kidneys for elimination. It is this kind of mineral elimination that is incorrectly referred to as 'leaching'. The expression that distilled water leaches minerals from the body is inaccurate. It collects and removes minerals which have been rejected by the cells and tissues, which if not evacuated, can cause arterial obstruction and serious bodily damage.
Obama wants to make organic food illegal. I wonder if the NWO will make distilled water hard to get since colloidal silver is an excellent anti-virus / anti-bacteria agent. And no, I haven't turned blue... but I have got on the better side of the 'compromised immune system' thing and chemtrail stuffs. (Hmmm :-) nice.)
But they can never stop you making the distilled water, mu ha ha ha. and yes colloidal silver is great! I even treat my cats illnesses with it, and no one in my house is blue either
@Brasik1 hiya, you just leave water exposed to sunlight in a sealed, see-through container i.e glass, not plastic and UV rays in the sunlight kill 99% of bacteria. 3-7 hours in UV light.
Boiling water costs energy - sun power is free - distilled water is automatically collected with this system - no moving parts, nothing to replace - will even produce distilled water without adding any water because it will take water vapour from the air (slower that way, but still works)
Yes but technicaly using sunlight is still boiling the water in to steam. i was specificaly vauge to allow the reader of my comment to decidet the best way to boil the water, whether it be to use sunlight or other forms of heat.
Unfortunately, moch of the world's drinking water isn't clean (even 1st world places like California - especially California), so the point of distillation would be to reap clean water.
I agree, but where i'm from in Northern California, the water is pure. We get it straight out of the springs, and it only needs treated maybe twice a year. Best tasting water on the planet. (in my opinion)
what do you have on top of the water bottle.. (thats making the opening more narrow)
