      @dylans voice ​ It's chemistry. 😊 You know how rubbing alcohol evaporates really quickly, but water can take a while? Well, that's because its boiling point is lower than water (82º C versus 100º C).
      Since that's how most flammable solvents are, they'll evaporate off before the water reaches a boil.

    I really appreciate you demonstrating this process. I was once at the mercy of the Mariana Trench when I was stationed in Guam while in the Navy. Me and a buddy got drunk on my 18 foot boat and decided to anchor off the reef. When we woke up I was in the shipping channel. I fired a Flare gun at Japanese Airliner and they radioed my position to the Authorities whom picked us up. We were drinking the melted ice from the beer cooler. This would have been a useful Hack for us. We had plenty of empty beer bottles. Thanks again Sailor Steve out.

    The prospect of having other things in the water (like gassoline or oil) is why you should start with the heated bottle open to atmosphere until the water is at a good boil. Let lighter boiling materials out without capturing them in the recieving bottle. Before you connect the bottles, have some vapor condense on the outside of the cool bottle, and give it a sniff or taste to make sure it is water. Then, connect the bottles. Also, whenever you distill water, leave about 10% in the heated bottle. There can also be stuff you don't want that has a higher boiling point than water. Throw that out and start fresh.

    It is also possible to use just a bottle and one of those trays. Bottle will have same purpose as in this video, metal tray will be the cold surface for condensation (placed over neck of the bottle upside down at angle with one corner being the lowest point). Water will condensate in the tray and trickle down. All you have to do is use third vessel which can be anything including a large leaf to catch it (the third vessel can be literally anything water tight with depression including you)

    The biggest potential problem is that if your source water is contaminated with something that has a lower boiling point than water then this specific technique will need to be modified. What you will have to do is wait until after the water has started boiling before you set up the second bottle to receive the steam from the first.

      If you were to do this, I'd suggest refilling the bottle in series. You'd have to let the warm bottles cool off before refilling it with cold water to reduce thermal shock. So you could do something where two bottles are distilling while the third one is off cooling. Then when the next bottle is done, refill the now cool bottle and place it back in and remove the empty one from the cycle to cool off, and repeat.

    Thank you for this information, and making it so easy to understand! Living in a Coastal area like I do (SW FL), you really just never know. Especially when storms are so unpredictable around here! The only thing that makes me nervous would be being able to find the bottles to use. But better to know how to do this and pray that you can, than not knowing how to do this at all! Thanks again, XOXO

    Thanks for sharing. The simplest system I have seen is to fill a pot about 1/3 full, put a bowl in the middle, with a domed lid inverted on top. The water boils, condensates on the lid, and drips into the bowl. Simple to remove the distilled water and simple to refill the pot.

    Hi, I'm from Michigan too ! I just heard an announcement on the late-night news from the U.N. stating that Madagascar is at the highest level ever, for starvation & famine due to climate changes, level 5, I believe. Millions of people are starving. I wish people like you who are knowledgeable and willing to help others could get with others who are able to finance your knowledgeable skills to build, maybe large greenhouses over the dry land and use distillation & desalination of ocean water to help the starving people and the people who are suffering because they've had no rain for almost 3 to 4 years... There are so many babies suffering because they are hungry, and it's not there fault there's been no rain. We can send rockets into space, but we won't build we won't build gigantic size greenhouses, that can have built in climate controls, such as tropic conditions, more normal conditions or what ever type of conditions needed to grow the types of foods needed, and then, build pipelines that lead to them from the ocean to help irrigate... Obviously, I'm not a scientist, nor I'm I wealthy..lol but, I do wish "we" the "world" could do more for this situation. Thank you for your video. I want to learn more about these types of experiments.

Put one small scoop/splash of the salt water back into your distilled water because if you drink 100% mineral free water, you can deplete your body of minerals causing all sorts of issues. Especially over long time consumption. Russian explorers to Antarctica suffered this fate, all loosing all their teeth over time

    Refill the source bottle *before* it goes dry or it'll get too hot and risk breaking. Also, if you can find bottles with different neck/opening sizes, you can plug one into the other and have better recovery (i.e. less gets lost from where they meet in your set up)

    • @MKahn84
      @MKahn84 5 лет назад +5

      Assuming you have a knife (and who doesn't have a pocket knife all the time?), with a little work and a piece of a small tree branch you can make a wooden adapter to provide a snug fit between the bottles. If you're lucky enough to have bamboo, that's even easier.
      This is the basic system. Adapt it to fit, especially if you need it for longer periods during which you'll probably be able to find/fashion more materials.

This is to ensure you are getting a proper PH level in your rehydration and the effects will overall improve your body functions.

    ( I was a Drill Sargeant for 7 yrs in the Army & a 55B Ammo/explosives for another 7 yrs.)
    Another way to distill water:
    Ahead of time drill the middle part of the caps of plastic bottles out & crazy glue the tops together. Screw the tops on the bottles & put in your back pack. (Make 1 or more sets of 2 bottles it's up to you how many you make)
    Put some say sea water (or dirty as in muddy not with other chemicals or oils in the water) in one bottle then screw the bottles together. Put the sea water bottle lower on the ground & the empty bottle have up alittle higher & you can use the sun to heat up the sea water bottle. OR
    If you have a sandwich or some kind of plastic bag fill it with water then turn on it's side, empty water till you see a triangle of water in the bag & gently twist the bag to make as close to a ball without breaking the bag & tie it off. To speed up heating the salt water bottle hold the bag over the bottle & it will be like a magnifier & heat your water.
    If you take some bark off a stick or dead tree stump & grind that bark with a stone & save it on another piece of bark. Have gathered some dry grass & small thin twigs & stuff to fuel a fire ahead of time.
    Take your powered bark & sprinkle some on the bigger piece of bark & put your bag of water ( you make it like instructions up above) over the powdered bark & just slowly add more powdered bark as you see alittle smoke, put alittle toilet paper strips on it & as it begins to burn add alittle bundle of grass you can put your smoking bark in & lightly blow on it & it will start a fire, use your twigs then bigger sticks ect. A fire with no matches.
    If you have no spare water you can use urine. Put your pee in the bag & that works fine too.

    One other method is to place the flasks upright, using a piece of leave or bark to funnel the water steam down to the other bottle. This way you can fill the bottle all the way up. You can also use plastic bottles this way (fire wont burn true a plastic container as long as it holds water) , just keep in mind that some of the chemicals from the plastic will transfer over. But if you are desperate enough to do this in the first place, you Probably don't have an option either way.
