Plastic is gonna release xenoestrogens into the water, which will mess with your hormones. It'd be a good idea to replace the plastic top with a glass one.

Fresnel lenses? I really wouldn't know. I played with one from an old TV years ago but had mediocre results compared to the hype.

Great design! :D

Is there any way to purchase? this is amazing!

It looks interesting but I can't make out exactly what you are doing

Check the WOW, output from the "flat top solar still" th-cam.com/users/shorts8biEc_XXr5o

Solar Still Design Process

plastic will leach... so the whole thing could be porcelain ,ceramic or glass....Thats what mission im on....I talking with a glass blower. all though fragile it wont leach.

YEAH ! ! ! Everyone has a wood lathe and vacuum forming machine and that's as far as I got . GOOD GRIEF ! !

Hi

Shut up here's my money

Is it safe to drink distilled water? Due to the lack of minerals it has, I have always learned that it is not safe. The difference in the concentration of minerals on one side compared to the other... Any explanation ?

Cool idea. Do you have any for sale? Black Absorbs heat more especially black metal. Maybe use a parabolic mirror underneath to increase evaporation.

How did you solve the issue of the distilled water evaporating again?

nothing like an good old truck in her work clothes

Where can we buy this?

The cone shape works well. Black plate to maximize the heat / light absorption. Make a short tunnel facing downward to harvest the water by bottle.

so after 8 hours of sun it will provide like 10 small sips of water? ur gonna need like 4 of these in order not to die of thirst if u ever get stranded in the ocean.

Checkout StarFireSolar's setups, two gallons per day. Came back here to mention this to inspire those that watched this and got demotivated by this experiment's output. Took me a few hours to find this guy, that was linked to by another guy who's setup was half as efficient. Funny how the best water distiller setup videos has the least views, while the worst have the most.

Hello I’m working on a parametric feasibility study on passive solar still please can you help me with some textbooks to reference

Hi, I am looking for a design to make solar stills for families in Thar, Pakistan. The women walk miles upon miles to get water but it's dirty and saline. Is there any design that you know of that is open source? Thank you.

can you make it out of glass and stainless steal?

Also what about during cold winter months, how can this make water for drinking

Cool video. Can you also please tell me the title of the first music and artist.

i have never had city water at home. living in a rural community county water wasn't installed. we relied upon a deep well and still do. even though county water was installed in town, we never got connected. it was about 30 years ago, my mother developed bone spurs due to the hardness of the well water. and learned about distilled water, became a sales rep for a company that manufactures and sells distillers. we have drank only distilled water since. we later had to add a softener before the steam distiller because of the wear and tear the hard water has on the distiller. since I married and moved out (to the house net door) we have plumbed up to the same deep well and share lt with my parents, and have our own softener-distiller set up (no fluoride rat poison). i have drank this water for 30 years! as a note...this company my mother sold for said NOT to distill municipal water sources due to the contaminants in the water leaving a damaging layer inside the boiling tank. they also later provided a carbon filter for "other non-H20 distillates that get passed through the process.(fluoride?)

Instead of loud dumb music, how about a slower video with some narration??? Too hard maybe?

i drink my urine for emergency

the best way to distill water off the grid is do it like the bootleggers make moonshine, with either a copper or stainless steel distiller,

The water is contaminated by the plastic. As plastic heats up it releases poisons, which is now making the water contaminated. This is only good for survival if you are dying of thirst, and only to keep you alive long enough to be rescued.

You are doing a Dis service to viewers by NOT Warning about using Non Food Grade Plastic or Anything else to obtain Drinking Water.

Well done.. simple, easy, effective. Definitely a useful product

How is the heat generated by the burners managed? And what are the effects of wind on the burners? These are usually properties that are overlooked in the design stages that come back to bite you in the engineering and product compliance.

Awesome design, if it was in a store I would buy one.

Awesome, very well explained.

impressive, very nicely done!! that will help me A LOT!

Yes spraypaint would work, we also use an airbrush and just some craft store acrylic to paint it and it turns out really nice.

In Canada you can buy it at your local home improvement centre, but it's probably harder to find in warmer climates.

Is it possible to paint this kind of foam? Would spraypaint work?

@WhiteKnightGaming its not called pink foam, its called rigid foam insulation

Very cool. Im a high school senior and im thinking of majoring in industrial design. Anything to warn me about?

what type of foam do you use, and where do you get it?
