Good stuff ! thanks for sharing! My car broke down and I need distilled water to flush my radiator but I cant drive to go buy some. This will help!

Clever design with the beer can and aluminum foil. I noted steam loss at the outlet of the condenser tubes in the other designs. Suggest two items... Ice bath for the collection jar may capture exiting steam and condense water on the the sides. I'm a chemist... fashion a cooling jacket for the condenser tube... tube inside a tube. Counterflow tap water in the outer jacket to aggressively cool the condensed water/assist with steam loss at the exit. I recall, in one of your other videos, you used a "finned" oil cooler for air cooling. Same concept. Steam into the oil cooler >> The oil cooler placed into an "once thru" water bath or ice bath. Steam loss will be significantly reduced. I've been following your projects for years. Great channel.

Boiling water with a bowl inside and upside down lid clearly looks easiest. Gonna do it when I need some humidity in my house.

Thanks so much with all your research and time.... number 9 looks the best and I have all of these items at hand.... Cheers!

hi. glad to help! ✔

I liked the last two best, 9 and 10. Thanks.

I look at all that steam that could be saved and wondering how to catch that water. These are great Thank you. Solar is great for morning catching but gas is cheaper than electricity at the moment

Brilliant. Well-done mate.

Thank you so much for your great works. Amazing Bro-Thor ⚡

Great stuff. Thank you.

Some people just want distilled water for other than survival reasons. In such cases the best source is a dehumidifier. It makes gallons a day. If you have one, be aware that what you throw away from it is distilled water.

That's great mate, very useful. Thanks very much.

Which is the most efficient? Solar?

Thank you for sharing. I have some stuff for the tea kettle version but am trying to figure out how I would use it for essential oils

I'll go with the 7, 8, 9 as that's what I really need when the grid goes down. My main concern was how to obtain 'the precious water' when it would be difficult to find some good drinking water in the coming troublesome times. Thank you so much and appreciate you sharing your super ideas. I'm going to try the last one first👍😊Blessings!!

Check the plumbing section in your local hardware store

Can we wash electronics with this water or it still has some ions and minerals since its also going to be in contact with the tube and the tube is metal and it’s not guaranteed that the tube has no deposits of salts or minerals

Which Method do you find quickest/most efficient? Awesome video btw

hi there. it's a 1 1/4" (OD) slip to 3/4" threaded PVC reducer. note that since it's 1 1/4" OD (outer diameter), they probably sell it as 1" ID (internal diameter)

For #7, put in a ~20 mm pvc pipe in the clean upper bottle through the hole in the bottle cap. That should make it easier to collect the distilled water.

so a thinner pipe is better, i thought a wider pipe would allow more steam per second

That Pipe is Called An ! EZ-Fluid 1-Inch FIP x 3/4-Inch FIP x 18-Inch Corrugated Flexible Stainless Steel Water Heater Connector for Female Iron Water Pipes Fitting (1-Pc) Or A Stainless Steel Fluid Pipe, if it Not Stainless Steel, Toss it !

What are the materials and methods to properly clean, sanitize, sterilize, and dry and handle the pans, pots, bowls, etc. before they are used in the distillation process and the same for the items used to hold and/or store the distilled water, please?

It works cause the distillation removes the minerals from the water and it comes out purified. The minerals are left behind.

Want to see solar powered from solar panels to using water heater. Might need 1200w for that but would essentially be free when the sun is out. My water distiller uses up to 800w. Wondering if the counter top istiler element could be converted to solar but it run of Ac o I not sure. Maybe use a high power buck converter to control voltage and heat what are your thoughts? I can distill about a gallon in 4 hours.

Does this method get rid of chloramine and fluoride?

hi yes. distilling water can definitely remove both of those

Thank you, tap water here is bad enough to ruin a pot of coffee... I've taken to buying distilled, but this is better... solar might be necessary due to power outages.

Now what costs more? The electricity needed to steam a gallons worth of distilled water? Or a gallon of distilled water from the grocery store for 99¢?

@desertsun02

hi. it works out about the same. it's roughly 80 cents to $1.20 in electricity for every gallon of water you distill at home.

I've heard that your body needs a balance between alkaline and acidic.

so distilling water makes it fresh water even old river water right. so why are we donating to water aid for clean water in third world countries with a few mineral tablets good to go.. well water aid is making a lot of money for the directors the female founder is making six figures a year...just saying
