- It takes a lot of energy for water to vaporize. While a certain amount of energy is needed to raise the temperature of a kilogram of water from 0 to 100 Celcius (C), it takes five and one-half times that much to chnage it from water at 100°C to water vapor at 100°C. Practically all this energy, however, is given back when the water vapor condenses... This is the way we get fresh water in the clouds from the oceans, by solar distillation. All the fresh water on earth has been solar distilled
Since one of the main goals of solar distillation is to provide a clean source of water, proper disinfection after construction is crucial. Some less intensive methods of cleaning could be use of soap or laundry detergent. A glass cover is more advantageous with respect to maintenance than a plastic cover, due to the electrostatic properties of plastic that can make it a beacon for detritus. The brine left over after thorough distillation can be harvested for sea salt, as it is now a valuable commodity in its own righ.
This is the smartest, most simple design that is the most practical that i've ever seen
And I think you could do it with larger bottles. A pair of those big water cooler jugs should work fine. (They're blue though, so they'll lose a little efficiency there.)
To boost efficiency, add a reflector pointed at the bottom bottle, and/or paint the bottom "dirty" bottle black. That is a really useful video IMO. Thank you very much for that idea. It may in fact save lives.
what do u mean by a reflector
@@harji5378 A mirror or other highly reflective surface will redirect sunlight that passes through the bottles/water back into the water, increasing the evaporation rate and thus the efficiency of the distiller. Black paint might be better because I believe it will convert higher frequencies of light to infrared, which means additional heat.
It would be a good idea to mark each bottle as either "Upper," or "Lower." This keeps you from contaminating your fresh water by collecting it in the bottle that had Dirty Diaper Water in it, the last distillation.
You can recognize which is for the top part since it has the longest tube inside
@@ErosEduardEman Darling, if things are not clearly labeled, you will fuqk it up sooner or later.
And I'd rather not be relying on you for water WHEN, not if, you do.
Good concept. Perhaps squeezing the top bottle while installing it in place could help with evaporation when the pressure inside is a bit lower than normal. But good work in general.
Anak pinter,,, bagooossss ini baru anak mama,
Great video. I see a lot of other ideas to improve on this such as coloring the bottom bottle black, adding a reflector behind the bottom bottle, one more improvement. In addition to coloring bottom bottle black and adding a reflector, may be to add a freznel lens ir other type of material to magnify the suns energy,, if possible for a survival use in front of the bottom bottle to concentrate the suns rays. If materials are available.
Add reflectors pointing at the bottom bottle and paint the tube black to absorb more focused reflected heat
Good and simple design ....will keep dark glass bottle at bottom for better yeild
The yeild is very very low ....not recommended
I would suggest using glass so no plastics leech into the water.
Also, to solve the distilled water issue, just use a bit of powdered Gatorade to remineralize it.
I think you really would not be thinking about a bit of plastic if your life depended on it.
Activated carbon felt inside the bottom bottle or half the bottle painted black with a black metal plate underneath would increase heat for the distillation process
What distilled water issue?
You distill water by bringing the temperature of water up to it's boiling point causing it to turn to vapor. When the vapor collects on a cool surface, it condensates and turns back into water.
That is the whole distillation process.
The water collected in the upper bottle therefore; is distilled but not guaranteed 100% pure as there are molecules such as chloride that have a lower boiling temperature than the boiling temperature of water.
To insure the water is purified, you need to filter it with an activated charcoal filter designed to trap those molecules.
actualy the plastic of the bottle already remineralize it
You could paint half of the bottom bottle black horizontally for heat absorption and a black metal plate underneath
Wow, this might work salt water too, Very useful for survival. But make sure you boil the water first before drinking it.
Why?
@@bertbeaulieu5448 because boiled water doesn't have all the butter and oil like pan fried water does!!!
Yes because if you're trying to survive out in the wild, nature will miraculously and conveniently provide a 1/4 inch PVC pipe, along with a power drill (electricity provided of course 😉) and will have super glue growing off of a shrub....
💡😲🙄🙄
🤣🤣
It seems pretty unlikely for substantial numbers of bacteria to transport into the top bottle via water vapor
I'd still boil that clean water.
Why?
Brilliant. I shall make one and give it a try. But the Theory is Sound.
Thanks
This doesn't work for me after trying for a few times. I'm living in a tropical country. 😒
use WIDE rectangular bottles facing the sun to get more energy and volume. bottles do not have to be round.
use wide 5 litre milk cartons or even fish tanks or aquariums tanks
This is intelligence
good idea
Love it only I wouldn't use plastic bottles
Гениально
I used that to make moonsine.
Very cool idea...how long did it take to get that much water...thanks again
Probably 15 days
This video would have been 1000x better had you narrated the build instead of having that ANNOYING music!
@scott stickller Don't be angry, he's not South African.
Oh, go make your own video then
Tried.it.but it doesn't work..😢
Good
A lot of commenters need to go back to school. This is like grade 5 science
Be patient with these people,it's never too late to have a happy childhood.
Great idea
I had trying this for about a week and I haven't yield no results
dear try using mirrors if the intensity of sun rays is low and it can also be used to increase the yield.
will mirrors improve the evaporating process?
Yes
Yes buddy, it will increase the output up to 70 to 80 %
And/Or if the bottom bottle was painted in black. Alok, I love this design, it looks sturdy (especially if epoxi glue is used), reliable, simple and inexpensive.
The music is so annoying
That's the one.
Do 20 or more have all the water you need so on cloudy or rainy days you still have❤😂😊 water for all
I suspect that the distilled water would have some unpleasant flavor due to aromatics that originated from the dirty water.
Hopefully you can find water clean enough not to have to worry about that, but if not there are things that can be done to mitigate it. You could filter and/or boil the water before pouring it into the lower bottle. If you have no means to do that at the least you could leave the top bottle off of it as it heats up and releases most of those aromatics before screwing it on.
I wonder if you've calculated how much heat energy your system would need to accumulate to produce the volume of water you show, over "a few hours". Certainly, there is no place on earth, short of putting it in lava on an active volcano, that would accomplish what you're supposedly demonstrating here. What you've done is falsify your video. Which is a shame, because this method does work, up to a point.
Yeah buddy, it is true and it work up to a certain point and the output can be increased with reflectors, but the sole aim if the video is to spread the awareness about sea water can be purified without using sophisticated technology, yes the reply us late but thanks for watching☺️
i assume youve never left a half drank plastic water bottle out in the sun before....
@@alokkumar-NSIT use WIDE bottles facing the sun
What temperature did the water start to evaporate, been trying to do something similar with a science experiment for school, but only one trial has produced a little bit of freshwater. I assume the other days just did not have a high enough temperature or the humidity is too low.
Shade the top bottle so it is a lower temperature. While having the bottom half of the bottom bottle darker raises the temp in that area making the system more effective. PS for the ones suggesting to boil the resulting clear water..... That does not help as the clean water will boil off and be lost. For the ones concerned about the lack of minerals in the resulting distilled water... minerals should and do come from what you eat. Cross ref SODIS www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8201346/ Good reason to carry or have several clear PETE coke bottles
Just made a couple, ..... Two days latter,....still nothing!
Two months latter...still nothing, so
Soooo I fabricated a bigger one out of a big bearal. With the larger size I am only getting about a gallon a week of clean water at around 85-90deg days. I saw a pyramid type design made of glass on utube which I think may work a little better with more surface area to catch the condensation. So even though it works it would have to be very large in order to get enough clean water to survive on unless you install a water heater element to heat up the water faster like I did, just haven't tried hooking up the 220v yet to test it ;)
Any luck with your pyramid design?
I see some comments are questioning your honesty in making this video, but that is not my concern. I would like to ask this, for every LITRE of dirty water, what is the average amount of clean water one might achieve through evaporation under full Sunlight? If I am able to lay the dirty water bottle at a 30-45 deg angle on foil and cover the upper bottle with something to reflect heat away, is it likely to increase the amount of pure distilled water collected? Is there any reason why I cannot use a larger bottle for catchment at the top than the dirty water bottle at the bottom? Thank you in advance of any replies.
This is a very poor design, mostly due to its size. I fabricated one out of a large bearal and only get about a gallon a week of clean water. I'm sure all the clean water would eventually evaporate it just depends on how dirty the water is or what's in it. My well water is so bad that if I hooked it up to misters whatever is under them will be white in minutes. All you're doing here is catching the evaporated water, so there many different ways to construct one of these purifiers. Just be sure it's air tight when your done!
@@Laurel-Crowned White from what, Limescale? I don't have Mains Water, I reply on a 30 metre deep borehole and the area has a high Limescale content so I had to install a water softener inline to which I add salt to make a saline mixture - it seems to help a lot. However, the local water in my area coming from a small creek is most probably high in Nitrates, Nitrites and God only know what else. Our local water springs are labelled as this water is unfit to drink without treatment, but they don't explain what treatment. From a survival point of view, I am just looking at my options of purifying water from that creek in addition to gaining a drink from Transpiration and Evaporation and some kind of portable still as I don't wish to rely on filters or purifying tablets. Drinking the water filtered and boiled is probably not going to harm me in the short term, but in the longer term, it must have detrimental effects.
A darker bottle on the lower part will heat up better.
Too bad its fake. dirty water bottle was filled to bottom of rings of top, top bottle was empty. Then after top bottle is above rings, and bottom bottle only went down like 2 inch. So where did extra volume of water come from.
So if im ever on a desert island i better have my handy pocket drill/gluegun or im screwed
If you're crafty enough, you can use normal trash. Plenty videos online that show how you can use pet bottles as rope to tie things and recyclables. And there will be plenty trash on your island.
Can you use this with salt water ?
Yes, heating salt water will turn the water into vapor and leave the salt behind.
Doesn't remove harmful chemicals like nitrite.
where did you get the water from?
I think you should use glass bottle
Music is very silent. Would be good idea to increase volume.
This doesn't work tired it
Does it have to be a pvc pipe
This is definitely a desalinator, but I doubt if it purified the water. You have to boil water for it to be safe.
put a single solar cell with zinc and copper electrodes into the distilled water. the cu and zn ions will sterlize it
You do not have to boil. The water molecules have evaporated from the dirty source leaving ALL particulates behind. The only thing that could tag along is other volatile contaminants like alcohol that would also distill out with the water. But no dirt, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, anything like that, will be able to travel along with the distilled water. This process is precisely how nature purifies water on earth ... solar evaporation from the ocean, form clouds, and precipitate purified water onto the land.
So you think it can remove salt ions (single atoms) but not cells or viruses? Can you explain yourself?
this shreds nanoplastics, use glass bottles instead
Great video. Will this also work to distill sea water?
Yes,just try it in the backyard,then follow up with desalination.
Could you find more abnoxious music?
Unwatchable
So you add the dirty water in the bottom to get the distillation going? Some might use leaves etc in a real out in nature system. Why dirty water? Why are you adding water in the bottom period?
dear water in lower bottle evaporate, water condense in top bottle and stays there purified
Is there any idea to make same design idea but using metal instead? To use the source of heat by boiling through fire.
Yes that will multiply the water generation 100 times
You can also use glass if you want to be able to see inside..
@@iTyler888 but does it stand the heat without breaking?
@@KLP36912 yes
when boiled, pressure will blow up this thing
WHY DOES HE SPILL THE WATER?!?!
nice idea, may i know the ppm level?
It should be zero.
Man that music( if you can call it that) was terrible
How much clean water will it produce on a sunny day?
Not very high output but it is good for survival situation
no es bueno tomar agua destilada
OMG 😃
1:52 seems more like Days rather than Hours, or just seconds by adding the clean water
It is in hours not days
@@alokkumar-NSIT That's a lie. Simple enough to prove using thermodynamics, and knowing that sunlight produces 1kW per square metre at most.
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the Anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel!
First we'll have to make one of these water purifiers to get the water to baptize you with........better to drink the water and live, fools don't get into Heaven because God doesn't like fools.
FALSO... SE PURIFICA MENOS AGUA EN 4 HORAS.
pure BS i made 2 of them 4 days in the sun and not even one drop !!!
Fake
Good job of ruining an informative video with a horrible music selection in the background.. Next time, use techno music..
💡🙄
never paid much attention to science...sorry
