Excellent idea,, one suggestion would be to cut the bottle in half, put the dirty can of water inside of the bottom half, and slide the top piece inside of the bottom piece to prevent any moisture escaping.

that's one of the more clever ideas I have seen for this.. I see people complaining about leaching...lol no matter who you are if you are dehydrated with no other option you will drink it!
If you add like white sheet or foil at the top near the cap, ill be more effective at "condensing" . Mirrors/ foil / chip bags / car shades/ mylar can all be used to reflect light towards the can heat sink.
I seriously doubt that these water bottles would leach at such a low temperature. Assuming the ambient temperature was 80F, the inside of those bottles shouldn't have gotten above 130, at the most.
tarstarkusz Actually UV sunlight and thermal heating from the sun causes the release of Bisphenol-A. If you want to reproduce later without causing your offspring sexual complications such; demasculated traits, produce less testosterone, not have their testes drop, learning behavioral problems, fertility issues in girls, testicular atrophy and/or structural abnormalities.
Ravtank1 I suppose UV light might be able to cause some leaching, but these are water bottles designed to be used outside in the sunlight. The temps this is operating at and the exposure time is so low that it's almost 100% certainty that these bottles aren't going to leach any chemicals in the water.
Good video, I think one can imagine how with a bigger system connected by hose to a reservoir and the whole system sitting atop a pond or lake or stream it could produce much more water. Thanks.
remember when water is heated in plastic , the plastic leaches into the water, and the aluminium cans have a toxic lining, and when heated it can also leach into the water, i would suggest using Glass if possible.
Yes, it should -- and with most organics like soil I reckon, (but not with chemicals that may evaporate before water, like solvents, so be careful in deserts, near mines, industry, etc.)
OBVIOUSLY in an emergency situation ANYTHING is better than dying from lack of water. But it's worth considering the following: (1) plastic containers, even those designed to store potable water or other drinks DO degenerate with age and can release toxins in TINY QUANTITIES into their contents. (2) if your source water is contaminated with contaminants that have a lower boiling point than water, these will evaporate/condense first, so that the first lot of distillate with have a HIGHER concentration of these toxins than the original water source. So it may be advisable to discard the first lot of distillate .....
Me too, I thought tho that he was going to distill clean water and either drink it or lol show the disparity, then drink it. Or at the end he has the Guinness in a pint glass and he just been using cola
@@LivingCoolness hey Bro, what is the best way to get a few drinks of a night, whisky, moonshine, beer, whatever. Bro If you have time as I think you are a knowledgeable Prepper please what is the best and simplest way to get some. Deep into s h t f like 10 years time away
don't cut out the bottom...cut off the top about two inches down, insert the can and tape the bottle back up. leave for hours and you have water up to the can rim.
just a question I see everyone waiting long periods of time waiting for moister to build. but wouldn't you get more by emptying this multiple times in one day? I'm from Las Vegas so sunlight and heat isn't to big of a factor here
That would depend on a lot of different conditions. Temperature, atmospheric conditions, sizes of containers etc. This method is only good for small amounts of water.
I was trying to figure out the time based on the shadow of the bottles and reflection from the sun....I undershot it a bit lol. I thought the starting point was closer to noon.
Very simple but good way to get fresh water in a survival situation or in areas where good tapwater is not available! I guess with 20 or 30 you get enough water for a persons need in one day.
Rheanon Jasmyne yes it came from the water vapor that evaporated from the surface of the smaller container inside the plastic bottle. The vapor then condensed on the sides of the plastic bottle and ran down to the bottom. That's what he poured out.
Dirty water is in the can. The sunlight evaporated the water in the can, and the water condensed on the bottle. None of the dirt in the water evaporated, so the end result is pure water
This is a very simple device, quickly made. But you would need a lot of them to make enough water to support even one person. Slightly larger ones using plate glass and wooden boxes can produce much larger amounts of water.
I tried making this. Word of advice. Go slow. I had a 12 pack and decided to make them all at once to have lots of water. Started out fine but I woke up the next day with empty beer cans and water bottles suction cupped to my face.
Great thanks cuz the Junior Survivalist were thinking what if we didn't have the silicone sealer that you used in another video if stuck in nowhere, problem solved !
+charles o'brien They have other methods in other countries to produce water from the air and heat. I saw a huge black wicker basket around 8 feet tall being used to produce water from salt water evaporation and condensation from the heat. The wicker was heat and they dumped salt water into a large bowl and collected what the wicker had formed and dropped below. Wicker water production? Try looking that up. It's kool.
+tEh kEEpEr It is sad that funding was not successful for that project. I hope they did find a way to get it mass produced so that people that have no access to water or in countries suffering from drought will get water that is in the air we breath. www.kickstarter.com/projects/366225655/warka-water-each-drop-counts
To show that you can get a clear water out of dirty or undrinkable water, suited for emergency situation when you can't find any good water source. Maybe all you can find is muddy or salt water. (still not near enough for 1 person need but that's the idea)
Another problem with this is that if your stuck somewhere, you need to find a clean plastic bottle and wait all day for a shot of water, so you'll need to find many plastic bottles. Didn't they just figure out a way to filter water using a branch?
Just what I was searching for - cheap, easy, lightweight, portable, quick to make and works. Many thanks

Then the distillate would be contaminated by being in contact with the outside of the can.
Thanks, this is beautiful and simple. I'm now going to stash a bunch of those bottles just in case.
this has to be the most practical method i ever seen

Wow you literally only need two items to make this work! Good job man!
Actually 3 items
That's so clever! Much better than just filling a bottle with water and exposing it to UV rays.
This is the best!!!! Even I CAN do this! Now I can recycle Los Angeles Tap Water, the most deadly substance around.
Are you still alive?
I think Flint Mich. has you beat
Very cool survival idea. Thanks for sharing

I think if you add Black sheet it will be more effective to attract more heat.
cool survival trick , simple , easy to make yet very effective !
Very clever use of everyday items! Elegant design, I really like how you unscrew the bottle top :)
not too shabby, excellent for 1 person emergency situations.
If the destilierte water is passed directly to a plant on, then we have a fully automatic irrigation. Very good idea
That's Guinness I mean Genius!
Brilliant! I love the simple things. And to those preaching about the negatives of the plastic, you die without water.
That is the most fastest way , thank you ill bring this when im out in the woods
Very resourceful, great idea. Thanks!👍
They keep saying that it's bad to heat water inside a plastic bottle. The heated plastic releases it's chemicals. This is good for survival.
Better to have small traces of a few chemicals than 1000 traces of chemicals and waste/poison from tap water...

Correct~ All plastics in current use (whether BPA-free or not) begin to release toxins at as little as 30' Celcius, or 87' farenheight
Clever, very clever especially in it's simplicity.

Will this work with salt water? My kid has a project and I think this is the easiest setup out there :) thanks!!!

Will this distill alcohol out of old wine or beer to make wiskey?
yes, but it can't be guaranteed to be tasty
so it uses the plastic bottle to condense it back into usable water?
Yea, it's a distiller. The water evaporates and hits the top of the bottle then drips down the sides.
Excellent! :) Thanks! :)
So you mixed carbon first?
Very cool, all I needed was a small amount to clean my computer screens.
What black colour liquid water or other
