How to Successfully Turn Salt Water Into Drinking Water

Evaporation Distillation Method 2

Make a hole in the piece of rubber or cork just big enough for the tubing to fit in.
Fill the bottle with water, leaving some space at the top.
Place the tube through the cork or seal so that it is even with the bottom of the cork, then put the cork in the top of the bottle.
Run the tubing to another container that is lower than the bottle so that the water can run out of it and not back into the bottle.
Put the bottle over your heat source, being careful not to get the tubing hot.
Bring the water to a boil and watch as the steam comes out of the water, through the tubing and converts back to water as it drips out of the end of the tube into your container.

If you want to learn how to form a cone with your aluminum foil so that the tubing is wrapped around the cone and the bottom is sealed, check out the next page. Learning about a variety of distillation methods will help you decide which one is easier for you when you're bugging out!

    If you have time and are stationary enough. Large metal make a moonshine still. You’ll need a large metal container, k copper (bendable) make or have a 2nd large container and a container to put distilled water in. Set the large metal container on a non burn able stand (brick rock or metal) connect the copper to the top, bend the copper into a downward spiral, place inside the other container making sure the copper extends past the bottom edge of the second container, coat the bottom whole with anything to keep the water in the container. Fill the first container with water you intend to purify, fill the second with other water, light fire under the first, put bottle/canteen/jug under the exposed copper below and wait.

    Use a kettle or pressure cooker and weld a copper pipe to the spout of the kettle or make a hole in the pressure cooker and weld the copper pipe to the hole, then at the far end make a coil around a can or bottle with the copper and have a piece sticking out about a foot long, then place the copper in a metal bucket and drill a hole for the foot long piece of pipe and weld the copper to the hole so that it wont leak. Then put another hole with a tap on it in the same bucket so you can fill with cold water but let it out and fill with more cold water so the (bucket condenser) works better. There you have your own water distiller. It will work for alcohol as well but you need a temperature sensor in it and a doubler would be useful for the steam (a metal cylinder inbetween the condenser and the kettle or pressure cooker). I made one with a pressure cooker, thermometer, copper pipe and a bucket. It is in my shed but needs fixing as some of the weld has come off the pipes but it worked well.

    You gotta boil off the water so the salt stays in the po

    Wait- that’s not right.

    My guess is they’re doing that whole steam collection method, or where it leads to a tube steam goes up and drops into another’s container. Like a solar still but with fire. I Won’t know because they’re clickbait bullshit
