  • what about toxins from the metal, if one were to use the water to drink. wouldn't a stone work as a heating element, it might add extra minerals to the water. I was told that some metals stick to the water elements even after evaporation. I dunno maybe someone who is an expert in water distillation would know if this is true.

  • Yes, rocks would be fine. I am not a fan of Aluminum beverage containers.

  • Can you tell me who the music is performed by, or perhaps the name of the instrument ?

  • Hi,

    The name of the song is "LOTUS" It is a free bee in Garage Band on the Mac. It is about 3 minutes long. Thank you for the question.

  • wat is the thing in the middle

  • Hi,

    The green thing is a Computer Processor Heat Sink.

  • ^_^I like the music AND the IDEA

  • There's a ceramic glaze called "blackboard" or "black chalkboard" glaze that is non-toxic. It really is used to make a slate like suface to write on. Its flat black. It may be possible to fire this substance onto metal. One could certainly go to a ceramics shop and ask questions. Cooling towers are hyberbolic shapes used to dissapate heat. I wonder if a blackboard- glazed, hyperboloid ceramic object could be the best thing to use here. I'm out of my element here, just a thought!

  • If you are saying to use stones instead of aluminum for a heat source, does that mean I can add some pebbles at the bottom of the glass instead???

  • Meanwhile, back in Chinatown. diddle diddle dink dink dink dink diiiiink.!

  • @GREENPOWERSCIENCE Are you sure its a Processor heatsink? it looks prety small maube a chipset heatsink? anyhow is those lenses expensive?

  • great movies

  • If you were to collect the Steam from this device; wouldn't that be good distilled water?

  • if you were to take the steam from this and collect it; would that noe be distilled water? Safe to drink, and free from contaminants?

  • nice,but sun is not sitting fixed

  • why do they ask me to watch in high definition?
