Thanks for sharing this example of using seawater. Great idea for islands surrounded by ocean with little to no fresh water, money, technology and resources.

I did this on a small scale and it worked great. good video thanks for sharing.

Even if you dont have a huge sheet of plastic, you can use Reynolds wrap, ziploc bags, plastic bag like shopping bags, or plastic bottles, cut the bottom off and poke hole in cap, wrap coffee filter or fabric around the cap side, then fill sand, gravel, then bigger pebbles after an that's a filter, theres always a way to do it, you can use a bucket as well, doesnt have to be a hole in ground, just gotta use whatever is around you at the time best you can an substitute things best your ability.

If those leaves aren't poisonous, you can even overlap them like shingles toward the collection point (which, itself, could be leaves &/or carved-out wood &/or a conveniently shaped rock Etc.).

Nice video. It would be helpful to line the bottom of your hole with plastic before you add the plants and seawater/urine. It doesn't have to be clear plastic at the bottom of your still but clear is needed at the top.

Because the soil will absorb a lot of the water otherwise. Ideally you have a pool of water at the bottom.@@Notyourgrandad1900s

Another way to get water: wrap a sealed plastic bag around a living, leafy branch, and leave it for several hours. The leaves photosynthesizing give off a small amount of water that will collect as droplets, and you can shake the bag to get the water to one corner to drink. Obviously, it is only about a Dixie cups worth, but if you can find a bunch of littered bags, it takes little energy to set up many. I have tried this in our backyard, but am no expert and don’t know if water from every plant is safe to drink.

Wow! I am amazed

what tree does the plastic sheet come from?

the resin from a conifer tree or you can perform pyrolysis on wood and then condense the overhead gas products into oil and then build a refinery to manufacture the plastic. but without a freshwater source you would be dead before you achieved those things.

That took 24 hrs to get. Humans need almost 2L of water per day. 250 ml gives you an eighth what you need. Sitting in the shade and not doing much will decrease how much you need, but if you're going to use a still like that, you should really set up more than one.

I like the tip about placing a tube into the cup to drink from. You had a lot of plastic had the pit been larger in diameter and a bit deeper it would have increased your production too

best vid ever

thanks

This is great for people near beaches with sea water, I bet there are more methods that you would need less things

❤❤❤ thanks i love this

mad kent! thx

Where does the tube come from mate

Great info! I would rather not have had to struggle to hear it above the guitar. What you're saying is important, and every time you made a point, the noise got louder.

So you need to be next to the sea for the salt water?

You could place a big peace of the plastic at the bottom to hold all the water from the bucket 👍

I want to take a bath every morning. How many of these will I need?

Can you use ‘ Pot ‘ Leaves - what’s the water like, asking for a friend.

Countries that don't get a lot of rain that are near the ocean could utilize this principle with canals of seawater.

I'm wondering how to find/ harvest wax, certain water-resistant non-toxic resins, rocks, Etc., for when there's no plastic handy(?).

Would it work better with plastic lining the hole? Thanks!

Sorry this might sound stupid was the dirt covering the top of the cup. It seems like the hole of in the plastic was under the small pile of dirt in n the middle. Or was it slightly moved over.

good to know as long as you have plastic with you which I have in my bug out bag and you could dig hole with a piece of rock or wood

You don't have to dig a hole if you already got a bucket. Just place the vegatation in the bucket, the cup in the center and cut out a small sheet of plastic and place it on top of the bucket. Same concept, way less work.

@scottcaine4514

Жыл бұрын

The same concept but the hole in the ground is going to creat a cooler surrounding, therefore aiding the process. Would still be worth creating a way for the bigger bucket to be cool.

You can wrap plastic bags around trees and bushes to get water also. Wake Up early in the morning and drink condensation of water.

yep..having dat problem here

would this trick work using a gigantic one to help the worlds water problem you think?

does it taste salty.....?

Boy, I sure hope I find some nice green vegetation, a shovel and a bucket half full of water and some good plastic tarps when I'm in a do or die emergency situation. So glad I watched this. Now I know what to look for...

What if there is no sea water available to pour in?

A forgotten art

This for emergency only

it is a nice idea but we need more research to increase the quantity and reduce the time of collection

Does this kill the flouride

What does the green leaves add? Im confused about why he added that. If he poured sea water in there and left it to bake in the sun, it would form condensation anyway, so why green leaves?

I could be wrong, but wouldn't it have been better to place the whole bucket of salt water inside the still, off to one side? By tipping it in, a lot of the water would have just soaked away.

@dam6.6

9 жыл бұрын

I barely learned of this method for acquiring water but what you mentioned does make a whole lot of sense. I think it would be ideal to use some of the transparent plastic sheet as a cover for the basin to retain water. that way the hole can keep it's parabolic shape in order to efficiently expose as much of the water to the sun's rays.

@jenniferandoh5342

6 жыл бұрын

I may be wrong too lol. But tipping the water all over the leaves surrounds the leaves in water that is saltier (has a higher solute concentration) than the water inside in leaves. Therefore, the fresh water in the leaves diffuses out of the leaves by osmosis, down a concentration gradient, so you harvest more water from the leaves than you would if the leaves were not surrounded by salt water. Therefore, more fresh water evaporates and drips into the bucket.

If you lay a piece of plastic flat on the ground condensation would build immediately then place the plastic where it will drain to the center and then squeegee it to that location. Yes you need a squeegee. Might be able to shake it to the center.

A couple of dozen of those should keep one person alive in hot weather. You only need a litre of water every couple of hours. Just remember to carry a decent shovel, a case of drinking cups, a couple of coils of flexible tubing and a big roll of plastic sheeting with the rest of your kit if you're planning on trekking......

I think, dig a hole, plastic sheet down, pee in the hole, set cup in, cover with plastic. this would probably recover with i would say an 80% efficiency. Then you wouldn't be wasting your pee.
