If you add salt till saturation to the mead or other fermented liquid you raise the boiling point of the water meaning you can extract more fuel and leave more water behind per cycle.
industrial use USP ethanol is very useful for a wide variety of uses from distilling alco soluable compounds to high performance compression fuels. Making it at home will prove to be an important off-the-grid skill
That's the idea, yes. those two mix perfectly without any additional addative or process, so anyone should feel comfortable with it. if you don't have the ability to run on 85+% ethanol, note that your gasoline car can probably run on a significantly more ethanol dense fuel than it's currently running with only a small uptick in heat. cars built in the last 20 years can be nudged up to 15% with almost no change, 20% might still run well. cars in the last 10 years can run fine with *double* the ethanol that is already in commercially available gasoline, but newer cars may not be as willing to accept the extra heat, so monitor carefully when pushing past 20%.

It would be interesting to use the ethanol created to burn as the fuel that is heating the pressure cooker, then subtract out how much fuel was burned from how much was created and see what the net ethanol production is.
You would not be subtracting the amount of fuel burnt [to heat] from that produced. You would be subtracting the [much smaller] amount produced from that used to heat.
Fractional distillation through controlling the temperature to separate what's in the liquid and then condensing it down. The temp rise's to show when it's now traversing to the next liquid and would contain just a little of that combined still because of both liquids in the transition. Always best to use a transitional beaker of some sort to keep the purity up between the 2 liquids that you can separate later.

Hes just essentially making moonshine. I've "allegedly" made it several times. His is a little complicated compared to what I've used but the principle is the same. He's using mead instead of mash in his pot. The principle behind distilling alcohol is that alcohol will turn to a vapor before water will under heat. If you keep the temperature at 172° you will get alcohol to flash off the product in the pot and once the vapors go to the top and exit to the heat exchanger he's made in the water also known as a coil or as shiners call it a "worm". The worm is surrounded in cool water which cools the vapors and allow them to turn into liquid alcohol
So nice! Watching this video I come to an idea to use a heat exchanger instead the pot. Like a chiller evaporator or condenser, with water as a second working fluid which temperature will be controlled to < 100°C and greater than ethanol evaporation temperature
Very simple process but I really appreciate how much you went into the detail. People that make how to videos need to really drive in the basics even though it might seem unnecessary.
Might add the importance of not trying to drink that after running thru that setup, you never ever want to drink alcohol that’s been thru a aluminum pot still. There are toxins released from the aluminum that are very dangerous
Awesome, noticed you were probably streaming this at the time. So great props for how it turned out, like doing everything in order and correctly while being live. Respect! And thanks, I already make wine, 15% but non natural yeast, and well fuels supposed to hit 6 nationwide by August soo this might be a required norm pretty soon.
I was wondering: in order to distill the fermented mead, you have to put in some kind of energy, wether it is gas, electricity or whatever the stove works with. Plus, fruit waste, sugars, etc. have their own cost. So, by the time you have your final ethanol, you need to subtract from its stored value, the cost it takes to make it. You could come up with some numbers by using an avarage price of fruits, gas (or electricity), the amout of it you need to make how much ethanol you end up with. Any idea?
We use sugar, water and yeast in Sweden, then distill and pour the alcohol through a tube filled with activated carbon. Then it's just a matter of drinking. But it's illegal 😁
I am new to this, but it sounds so simple, at this first stage, but then you are using gas to heat your Mead why not use an everyday fireplace that we used to heat our homes everyday with this system refined built into it to produce larger quantities is there such a fireplace on the market that can do this or should I design one and put up a link
Doesn't look like high grade fuel distillation. You need a Fractional Distiller and molecular sieves. Wet ethanol is fine but you need to redo a lot of the car.
This method is okay, but one can easily extract water and ethanol from regular fuel via separatory funnel. After the water and ethanol is separated, the water can be separated from the ethanol using simple distillation w/ light heat (70c) with no risks. Water will evaporate at room temperature but that will take a very long time. This is about as anhydrous as you're going to get without a more advanced setup.
Reminds me on the show moonshiners lol. I wonder does the length you have the vapor hose running through the cool water effect how cool the water stays and/or how much burnable fuel you end up with?
No the pressure cooker is only a convenient sealed chamber to boil the mead in. once he put the hole in it for the condenser it lost the ability to build pressure in any significant quantity. You could substitute it with other items at hand as long as it 1.can be sealed, 2. Will hold up to the heat source and 3. Will hold up to the corrosive properties of ethanol. A thrift shop pressure cooker just hits all the criteria in a cheap package.
I get it and completely love what you're doing, but to think that a large metropolitan area will be able to do this is simply not feasible. They all mostly die.
A certain percentage of each batch is methanol. Still burnable. Actually better fuel. But, that portion is a neurotoxin. That's what makes people go blind drinking moonshine. There are ways to tell what portion is methanol and remove it. But, for fuel, you don't need to remove it.
You could for the outer jacket, but the heat may compromise the integrity of the pvc nearest the still & you might spring a leak. The insulation quality of the pvc would be better than the copper for retaining the cooling ability of the water though, as copper draws the heat from the outside as well as the inside. But your inner "worm" will have to be metal due to heat transfer for condensing, and copper is your best choice for that.
the propane is just a means of boiling the mead, you could substitute that with anything that gets hot enough to boil alcohol, electric, wood, or waste heat from other equipment even. Alcohol only has a Boiling point of 173.1F as apposed to waters Boiling point of 212F you could use a solar system to charge a battery and run the whole thing off a repurposed coffee maker coil if you had the means.

Doesn't salt lower the boiling point of water?
@@Aaron-jv7pc No it increases it you can run the experiment yourself with distilled water and then salted water and remove all doubt.
@@Barskor1 Oh yeah, you're right. It lowers the specific heat capacity.
By heating the mead you vaporize the alcohol outof it. The water circulating in the pipe condenses the alcohol back to a liquid.

Even though its interesting, i would make the ethanol from solar panels -> when theyre making more power than your home can use
The pot would never absorb 100% of the energy the ethanol produced while burning,so you would waste a lot of it

He used mead which is fermented honey drink.
A certain percentage of each batch is methanol. Still burnable. Actually better fuel. But, that portion is a neurotoxin. That's what makes people go blind drinking moonshine.

so the bio fuel is volatile or not??

Could you or anyone here explain me the cleaning process of bio petrol please...?
could we use Kumbucha ???

Without the airlock on your fermenter jar… you will make acetic acid (vinegar). Vinegar is Latin for Sour Wine.
