$10 fuel alcohol still

Uploaded by: bassman76jazz
Video Description:
This is the first version of a cheaply made seam powered cap and bubble continuous flow fuel alcohol distillation device. It creates steam using a modified coffee pot heater element, this steam heats the distillation column so that the alcohol vapors rise and condense and the water and water vapor flow downward through the column.

What you're ... ( 6 months ago by bassman76jazz)

What you're describing is a pot still. This is a continuous flow still similar to commercial fuel stills. Packed column reflux stills are good but in my opinion waste a lot of heat energy. I am trying to use very little energy efficiently to create high proof fuel alcohol.

more please, ... ( 5 months ago by luvhafiz)

more please, wouldn't it be cool to make a covert really small still just big enough to fuel a small car. You could go through the neighborhood trash or lawn clippings and never
pay for gas again. To hell w/ David Blumes coop ideas. Ultra efficient covert solo practicioner is the way to go. Think like ultra light backpacking.

I am a little curious about the continuous flow thing. I like your miniature distillation tower. My question is how do you control the flow of mash in and out? Also, have you managed to use your still successfully?

Thanks shawandrew, ... ( 5 months ago by bassman76jazz)

Thanks shawandrew, that's is a good question. The mash in is currently controlled with a small needle valve, the mash must not contain any large partials or it will clog. The waist mash out just flows out along with the water condensed from the steam. I have had this still running but not for long periods, still tinkering with it so I cannot tell you what proof I am capable of. At this time I am constructing a completely new version.

the saddest part of ... ( 4 months ago by ciercee)

the saddest part of all this is it is totally against the federal goverment laws...
We can think ourselves out of the box but we have to pay the tax or get involved in the regulation to deregulate the use of stills.
It is feasable to create a still that uses solar energy to produce ethenol. I am gonna try it and wonder how long before the feds show up.
You would think if you are allowed to grow the hay to feed your horse. You should be able to distill the ethenol to run your car.

use a solar oven to heat your mash.

The tax you pay is to build and maintain the roads and bridges we drive on, just because you produce your own fuel does not mean you don't need to pay your fare share of the cost. Anyway think how little you pay compared to a professional truck driver (as a trucker I drove 120 K miles last year).
It is not however illegal to build a still for this purpose.

Nice idea, I hope ... ( 4 months ago by mipoleon)

Nice idea, I hope you haven't drank any. Im pretty sure that aluminum reacts with ethanol at higher temps and creates a toxin.

Google it. ... ( 4 months ago by mipoleon)

Google it. Aluminum corrodes in the presence of alcohol unless it is anodized. Thats why distillers make their stills out of copper or stainless steel and not aluminum which is cheapter. I don't know if this has a negative effect on using the ethanol as a fuel source but from what I have read you definately do not want to drink it.

He is using beer and soda cans. Beverage cans have a coating on the inside to keep the aluminum from coroding and making the drink taste like metal.

mipoleon, thanks for piking that one up fore me, also sevral times I have stated (Like in the in the title of the video) thid is a way to make fule alcohol and not for human consumtion

Thanks for the video. I am trying to replicate your still as we speak. Would it be possible to post another diagram of how you actually built your still? You mentioned making some changes while you built and it sounds like it would benefit everyone. Also, how do you process your mash? Do you have an example of a recipe? Or a link to another site that will work? Thanks,

there is a 10 degree dif. in boiling the mash that decides whether your producing ethanol, or methanol. I think this guy is making methanol because the title is Fuel alcohol still". fuel is methanol and not for human consumption

I don't think this is intended to be a long lasting high output still. The guy was just playing around with some good ideas and simple materials.

Im trying to get to an update on this but Im short on time right now, I hope to have more time once winter hits.
The small holes and the lager center hole act as vents and down comers cycling the mash from the center to the outside of the chambers (aluminum dissipates heat very rapidly)
The system is heated by steam generated from a modified coffee pot heating element.
This system vents itself and so there is zero pressure buildup.

There is a small write-up on instructables with a schematic but I have not completely worked out the design.
