Homemade Water Distiller

I designed and manufactured this water distallation system using a bit of ingenuity and some pots and cake pans I had in my house.

Just when I want to....I tell myself "don't engage the crazies." Ooohh, but I want to......aw hell, Shut Up!!!

Really cool idea. Big problem with Aluminum though. Pure distilled water is actually an effective solvent - because it is pure it then can only "pull" things into it, which means the ALUMINUM! Use a less toxic metal and you've got a brilliant idea.

I also would have edited out the "Stop Talking!" It does not put you in a good light, makes you seem like a real immature jerk to your woman there. I'm sure that wasn't intended. That alone distracted me from opening up to your presentation.

@jittlejot Thanks for taking the time to comment. I think given a life or death situation, I'd go with aluminum or whatever I had to get water that wouldn't cause great discomfort or death. Hopefully, I won't have to test. As for editing, it's family dynamics for real.Thought about editing but had no idea how to do it. Our house is loud & noisy. Out of context plays to the harshness perceived but I understand your view. Besides, the "your're boiling urine" comment seems to attract comments.

I like it but, lets see it work.

[MegaDiddly]

@hlbpr Maybe we should do a follow-up video………hmm The process does work but it does produce small amounts of water. In case that's our only option, we know what to do.

@MegaDiddly Please do a follow up showing how long it takes and its efficiency. If i can get your system to work efficiently I'm gonna build an all stainless version and patent it. Ill give you a lil of the money though, jk. If that top bowl could somehow hold icewater on the very top it might be ALOT more efficient in re-condensing the water. just an idea and thanks you for sharing yours.

@andrewbentley83 this is a slow process and if over a fire I imagine it consumes lots of energy/fuel. Anyway, we've moved on to experimenting with solar power having stored lots of water using rain barrells and 2 liter pop bottles BTW, glass liquer bottles don't last winters (even fairly mild southern ones). That's a different video for another day.

@ 1 second the kid in the background says, "You're boiling urine?" To which the father replies, "Stop talking!" LMAO!

I got 99 problems, but a water distiller ain't one

[haniyyahn]

It's a really good setup. The guy who wrote in about aluminum is correct. Also, I'd imagine that it won't remove everything. That would be my concern. Before watching your video I watched one where someone built a solar distiller. It worked great to remove large impurities, but didn't remove red food coloring when he introduced that.

So, your method would work to purify stream water from dirt and muck but maybe not from chemical pollutants. Right?

Stop talking!

THAT`S BETTER THAN SPENDING OVER $300.00 ON EBAY FOR A NON ELECTRIC ONE.

VERY NICE VID! ★:-:•‹(•¿-)›•:★.THANK.★.YØU.★

stupid... you need to have the collection point away from the heat

[LolTav]

Hah. Everyone is crying about him saying stop talking. God forbid you be raised in a house that actually is strict or harsh.

[cowboy654u]

You started out sounding like a real anal-retentive douche. I could not follow whatever else you had to say. I feel sorry for your family.

[sashmuscle]

Wow how stupid are these people? Have a domestic while filming, snap and yell at your son demanding him to "STOP TALKING", then actually upload the video without editing it out? No class.

[ChubbaBoastinTone766]

What is the time/yeild factor on this? I.e. How long does it take to make a liter of distilled water?
