Having the outside of the jar exposed to the sun will warm the water faster having the collection jar in the middle will allow better conversation and cooler environment.

  You fill the inside jar too much. It takes time for the water to warm and evaporate. It would be faster if you can create a vacuum in the jar.

• 
  @DreamofaHiveАй бұрын

  The only way to increase the yield is to increase the heat (to increase evaporation) and the cold (to condense faster. Is there a particular reason that you don't just boil the water in a small fire and collect the condensate via a tube into a bottle that is sitting in cold water/wet sand? If you don't want to use fire then you need to think of a way to separate the heating and cooling elements - so a pipe to allow the moisture laden air to transfer into the collecting container and have the collecting container lower down and/or protected from the sun.

How to extract drinking water and salt from sea water! kzread.info/dash/bejne/eG2dk5SmYJOcktI.html This video shows and explains the process of using a still to produce drinking water and salt. And like you say both the water extracted and the salt obtained are extremely useful! The answer to many of civilisations current issues lay in the ocean. Time has done the work for use and all we need to do is take the time to extract it. For example, sea water can also be processed using electrolysis. And doing this will give you sodium hydroxide, chlorine, oxygen, sodium carbonate, a battery and a way to complete more electrolysis. It is a deep rabbit hole that’s for sure!

  I'm guessing the charcoal probably started out relatively dry. Then it took time for it to be saturated. A third unit would have charcoal only in the sea water in the bottom, likely avoiding the delay. But then, that would cause a salt build-up in the charcoal. That being hard/impossible to remove, have to replace it every time. Another guess is that arrangement would slow down production rapidly (a more logarithmic daily production change). Perhaps the pickle jar/hourglass has the benefit of being uncontaminated over a longer duration/indefinitely. Like a pump or catalyst. Another important optimisation is to have the potable water directly draining into a tank with a non-return valve. That'd increase the humidity differential & efficiency. (Instead of evaporating potable water every cycle, slowing the water vapour transfer) Expanding even further, install plumbing directly into the salt water jar. A salt water flush/refill input & brine water drain on timed solenoid valves. Completely automated system. That said... At that point it's probably easier to modify a vacuum tube solar water heater. images.app.goo.gl/mZ57KoSEtFMsxkFJ6

  Do you re-soak the charcoal in "new" seawater between runs to let salt out? The process should overall slow down with time, all else equal, as the salinity of the seawater increases as pure water is lost, and salts stay. The charcoal reduce the amount of free water and should be more effected by that with time, so that the charcoal setup didn't outperform the control more in the shorter run suggests there some issue, maybe higher amount of salts in the charcoal from the beginning?

  This is a good point. In the unreleased video I mentioned super saturated sea water. But I didn’t consider the super saturated char coal. I need to research this more before being able to provide any answers. So at this stage I am just adding new sea water to the char coal in the sea water vessel without rinsing the char coal. Thanks for the suggestion! This could definitely have something to do with it. But like I said in the video, initially the return from the char coal unit was double that of the control. And then over the period of nine days the daily rate increased from double to almost four times. But like I said, there are many variables at play.

• 
  @RemrafАй бұрын

  @savagebushranger7953 Hello and thanks for your comment, it’s great to hear from you again! To clarify this version was designed to allow the char coal to have contact with the air and the sea water. So the charcoal was absorbing the water and expelling it after the light and heat heats it, then the evaporated water leaves the surface of the char coal allowing more water to soak into it. To say it is a pump of sorts is on the right track. It is certainly providing a flow of sorts in one direction.

  Might i suggest using flatter paper shaped glass jar inside a bigger flat paper shaped glass container. The larger flat surface of the jar should face east-west so that it absorbs more sunlight for less water. Also as you evaporate more pure water from the seawater it gets more concentrated thus raising the boiling point. So the more pure water you get the hardee it is to get more from the same sample. You would have to set up an array of flat jars that you would replace the salt water inside every morning to get a lucrative total amount.

•

  These are great points. Especially regarding the salt concentration of the sea water. This is an unknown at this stage as the water is evaporated from a mixture of thermal and photo molecular effects. I recently put together a video where I discussed the concentration of seawater as a possible issue with the evaporation process was but have not uploaded it has there was an issue with some of my results. I am releasing another video this evening to share the results of these experiments but this question has since been omitted has I add to re write the entire video. I will need to look into this further. I am also currently running another set of experiments with flatter containers and the results are very promising. See link provided. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3iZ2sqah5mbfag.htmlsi=xC5UIJ_svr09N_wT I am also currently working on the next video in regard to this model as well. I added a new variation to the unit. And the point about removing the water produced each day is still up for question. Tonight’s video reveals the issues I faced as I left the system to run for longer periods of time. The results become contradictory. The yield improved suggested that leaving more moisture in the system led to better results on an average per day basis. But this still needs to be confirmed. Cheers!

  Hi and thanks for your question! This process can remove all particulates from the water, all solid material will be left behind in the sea water jar along with the salt etc... This includes most of the harmful material that could potentially pollute the water source. Providing there are no “organic volatiles” then you should be good. Ethanol is an example of a volatile organic that could possibly be distilled over into the drinking water. Benzene is another. If the water you are distilling is known to be heavily polluted I would be testing it before distilling. Bacteria is another nasty that can be removed using this distillation process. It is not without its benefits that’s for sure and goes a long way to purifying it. But nothing can be 100% unless tests are performed to confirm this. Heavily polluted waters might include places that have oil spills or contamination. These types of Organics can be distilled over into the water source and are therefore a potential issue. Fractional distillation (industrial process) is how oil is broken into its fractions such as diesel and gasoline. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them. Cheers!

  What you need to be aware of is the temperature of the internal air when you measure vs when you seal it, in order to maximize liquid. Seal it with as hot and moist as possible. Measure when as cool as possible. Keeping with the no energy theme: cover the jars with a wet towel for a while before opening, ideally at night, with a breeze. Cooling the internal air ( after a cycle of heating via sunlight) reduces the total amount of water it can hold, forcing it to condens into liquid.

Black will also transmit heat in the dark, so maybe your water will be a little cooler in the morning lol. I have not built a solar still, so I have not addressed the issue where the vapor needs to condense on something to drip down into the receptacle, but in old survival designs they used a cone of thin plastic. Obviously you want the largest amount of surface area facing the sun for the black part. The survival ones would be 2 or 3 feet or more in diameter, and not very tall. Sunlight also absorbs best when it is as perpendicular to the surface as possible. A big, flat, circle or rectangle comes to mind. Ideally I assume the condenser should be cool if possible so the water vapor will condense on it effectively. Another design I saw was a long rectangular box, approximately 4-8 feet long, on an incline, with a glass top. The inside is painted black to absorb heat and the water condenses on the glass cover and runs to a receptacle at the bottom.
