@do-rightsolar64556 ай бұрын
If you didn't use it for awhile, then perhaps algae could build up inside, but if used regularly then the hot vapor will kill off all algae. After I made this video I added a carbon filter on the output, to remove any last volatiles.

WHile I am installing gutters to capture rain water we just do not get much rain year round here (only rains a couple times a year) the issue is HARD water. I have to buy water to drink. the tap water is ultra hard and nasty tasting (safe to drink just taste like crap I can clean and cook with it but not drink it) Anyway I assume distillation will remove the hard water (calcium) from the water? how do you keep things from growing on the black cloth?
@do-rightsolar6455 Жыл бұрын
Nothing (living) grows on cloth, because it's a hot environment exposed to UV, but calcium does accumulate. Occasionally cleaning the cloth with vinegar removes it.

Cold Steam the efficient way to use heat sources to produce electricity and or distilled water explained from basic concept to employment. Two open containers one full of water the other empty connect them at the bottom and water will reach an equilibrium 50 50. If one is sealed except for the connection the other will remain empty because of the vacuum created in the sealed container. Gravity will overcome this vacuum if the containers are taller than 30 feet. If the tanks are 40 feet tall the tanks will reach an equilibrium of water levels at 30 feet leaving ten feet of hard vacuum in the sealed tank. This makes a vacuum pump set we need two of them if we were going to distill water as the cold side open tank is used to collect the distilled water from it as the continuous input of water needs to go somewhere. Each sealed tank has four valves three at the top two of those on opposite sides (B&C) one at the very top (D) one at the bottom on the side (A), water-based vacuum pump operations are, Close bottom tank valve A and top tank valve C. Open top tank valve D. Fill sealed tank through top side valve B. Close valve B and D when full. Open bottom valve A. This primes the system to let the warm water in that will vaporize and run through the system when you partially reopen valve B (to control flow rate) and open valve C to its fullest. For only power generation need one pump set and one vacuum tank so we can have a Hot side and a Cold side one to boil the water and one to have the low pressure/vacuum to draw the steam in through the turbine then the cooling coils then to the tank. At the bottom of the cold side, tank is a return pipe with the one way valve to the heat source the one-way valve prevents expansion back to the cold side and as the hot side vacuum chamber is the only outlet for the expanding water and it is drawn by the vacuum the cycle proceeds. You can combine the two and get power generation and distilled water keeping the return line from the power generation system will let you switch if you don't need distilled water on a continuous basis in large quantities. I am going to make one feel free to make one as well it is open source.

Good video......I like the system; but, would want to hook up the carboy to an electric pump and then a filter system like aquasauna. Here is some info that might help you with your design: My solar still produces about 5 gallons a day in October on sunny days. I used an old duel pane solar panel about 3' by 7'. I stood it up on end slanted against a rock wall fence. Water level is maintained by a mounted water tank next to the panel that connects at the bottom. The highth of the water in the tank determines solar panel water level. Next to the panel I built a wooden 3 level shelf stand. At the top of the solar panel I ran copper tube up first and then down to my first copper coil inside a 2' by 4' water cooling tub and came out the bottom/front side. Below that tank I ran a second copper coil to my second tank and then out its bottom to feed my 5 gallon distilled water container, final product, sitting at the bottom of the stand. The top tank removes a large portion of heat from the descending vapor/liquid. This heated water in the tank (heated from transfer of heat from vapor coil) is then fed to the bottom of the panel and thereby reusing the transferred heat. I tried to position the coils so that all fluids/vapor are being pulled downward by gravity in all portions of the tubing. Top and bottom tanks are fed by sprinkler timer. The top tank then also feeds the solar panel and determines what level in the solar panel the water sits. The bottom tank is fed by sprinkler timer also but does not feed the panel water and is always much cooler then the top tank. It's water is only used to cool the second coil. The panel has four ports one on each side at the bottom and one on each side at the top. I occasionally use the unused bottom port to drain the brine. I may adapt a valve to automatically dump, the brine, at the end of the day by sprinkler timer later on. It is important that when you connect the top of the panel to the top coil that the connector is not tight but is left loose to allow air to occasionally enter when good flow occurs or you will create a siphoning effect and get about 20 gallons of possibly sterilized water that is NOT distilled at the end of the day. There may be some steam loss because of this; but, the effect is negligible. An improvement I could easily make is take the duel pane glass off the panel and spray the now gray copper sheet and copper tubing black again and I should have more output.

correct, pure distill has magnetism property at the molecular level to cleanse the body from unwanted inorganic minerals that will attach to the distill water molecues. dead tap water or even fresh mountain spring water already fully loaded with inorganic matters and loses its magnetic property
"magnetism" bullshit.
wonder how good it would be using a mirror in the place of the silicone black back. seems it would be faster possibly. reflecting more light, hotter faster ??
Unnecessary, as the wick is fairly opaque, but thanks for the idea.
The black absorbs heat and keeps the heat in. A mirror may tend to reflect the heat back out.
@@Justwantahover need to experiment on that
