This method is simple what is needed is 2 steel drums preferably lined, large cooking pots will work a shovel some firewood or other heat one long piece of sheet metal and about 20 concreate blocks or a mud wall and any water source preferably freshwater from a river or lake or even rain water. when we actualy did get there I seen alot of the things that where most needed and could have provided if not for the legal restriction. So now I want to post this device for general knowlage, it is simple yet will in eight hours make enough water for a group of 30 for drinking, meals and bathing aswell as the fact the fire is used and coals can be pulled out next to this setup to build a cooking area. The distilled water made by this system may get some carbon black or ash in it but both are sterile and also safe for consumption In emergency situations people sometime will resort to natural water which can in most instances be risky/dangerous and if possible be avoided. Boiling and condensing water alomg with its contaminants is less effective than simple boiling water in a pot and letting it cool as one can boil it longer and kill of bacteria. Useful distillation is fractional in nature. In other words certain oils and the like will boil off before 212F is reached. One does not wish to recapture those distillation products for drinking water. Only the water is boiled at 212F and that is all one wishes to capture. If the heat goes higher then heavy products will boil and be condensed so temperature control is vital. If you dig around, there are videos out there on how to assemble a simple rocketstove out of bricks. Some experimentation should give you the ability to come up with a design that services large numbers of people and uses easily gathered materials efficiently. There exist some power plants where the process is going.As for boiling and condensing valentino shoes not removing the volatile contaminants, you can make a filter by taking a clean coffee can, punching a hole in the side towards the bottom. Put a few inches of CLEAN sand in the bottom of the can then put in a few inches of activated charcoal, or plain charcoal if activated is not available. DO NOT use the stuff you use at cookouts. Do a search for making activated charcoal there are a couple of methods available. Cover the charcoal with another layer of CLEAN sand. Pour the water through this filter and the result should have any volatiles filtered out. I am now collecting information for my next instructable that will help identify and show how to prepare thousands of different foods that grow in the wild on every continent. I remain absolutly ashamed that people/children starve to death and die still in this century even in America, I just cant understand it. I know most people today think all food comes prepackaged in a box or from a store with a name brand. "I know I will survive if I have to eat the dogor an animal rights activeist for that matter". I just can't get over the fact that the people will change the world and move mountains, if it comes to proffit/entertainment"like the olympics,NFL,NBA,PGA,NASCAR,even Politics" Billions spent each day just on marketing. but who will change a thing just to be doing good?Thing is, with the "small scale" atempts you cant service as many people, and like I said carbon can be strained out and the water is bacteria free parisite free chemical free. Still serviceing 30 or so people. I can build an actual seperator from the eye/element of an old coffee pot but it "requires electricity" though it can handel up to 80 or so people. I appreciate the offering of the two pots though.
