What is the tubing made of. Is it a product that can leach toxins and chemicals into the steam. If so you are replacing one poison with another. The plastic lid would do the same.
What about copper tubing, then you could bend it into coils for the condenser.
I am thinking of a large stainless steel unit I can leave in the sun all day.
I will carry out my research, draw up a plan, and go for it. Wish me luck.
@Winter077 I would assume that the distillation process would remove cortex as long as cortex has a higher boiling temperature than water. The chilling part condenses the steam that has been produced by heating the water. If you don't chill it, then most of the water will escape as steam.
I actually thought of that and am currently in the process of testing that design. Thanks for the tip about the wire; didn't think about that. I'll have to try it later though because I have already glued the tubing in a spiral down the container, but I have tried to maintain the tubing as far away from the container as possible.
you should bend that tube in a spiral inside the plastic container. this way it will cool down faster and you won't lose steam. also, when you bend it, try not to touch the outside walls of the plastic container. you can achieve this by using some wire in a spiral shape and by attaching the tube to that spiral shaped wire.
try a bigger cooling holder and spiral more of the tubing from top to bottom like an old moon shiner's still which works on the same principle :)

Fair play.. that's probably the simplest way i've ever seen water distilled.. nice! :)

your video is great but what is up with that music in the background and the horrible drilling noise

have you measured the purity, just cause when i make mine, there was a reading of 3-8ppm with a tds meter

what about chemotherapy meds and estrogen does it remove those...?

Does steam distilling remove Cortex from water, you know, that stuff they're putting in the water to disperse the oil leaking in the gulf?
Also, what's the purpose of the chilling part?

What i can't figure out for the life of me is why don't people in third world countries steam distill their water??

@Winter077 Perhap the problem is a lack of education and the right knowledge?
