Homemade Water Distiller - DIY - Stove Top "Pure Water" Still - EASY instructions!

This looks good, but I think it needs some improvement.  There's steam rising from the open end of the bottle.  This means losses.  The top part should be sealed off and it should also be cooled down in order to increase the condensation rate so that steam pressure doesn't build up.




Update:

The equipment needed to be purchased included in the 2 pics below:

Need a tea kettle, so here's one that looks suitable:

Focus is on where the steam exits because that is critical to the operation of the distiller

I'd still be a little concerned about the quality of the water coming out of this because I ran a similar experiment in October.  What prevents bad stuff from getting into the water?  I'd like to check it out, though.

This could be a significant way to reclaim water, like bath water for example.  You could recycle bath water and get more bath water.  You don't have to drink it, just use it for bathing.

A Fresnel lens could obviate the need to use scarce electricity.  Hard to say what that may do to this tea kettle , though.
