Stills
The problems of stills.
This is a SEALED 8 page .pdf file explains the basic concepts. This site that won't be opened until after The Great Catastrophe.
This is a SEALED 78 page .pdf file with lots of pictures. This site that won't be opened until after The Great Catastrophe.
This is the present open source for the mirrored copy that we have below.
This sealed site has three pages that can be linked from the open site above. This first one describes a small home still that the owner actually uses to provide fuel for a number of automobiles.
This second sealed site describes a somewhat larger system that was built to produce fuel on a commercial basis.
This third sealed site discusses safety aspects regarding stills.
This is another SEALED 182 page manual in .pdf that we purchased. This site won't be opened until after The Great Catastrophe.
This is the present open source for the mirrored copy that we have below.
This is a site SEALED mirror of the above source. This site won't be opened until after The Great Catastrophe. However, below is an overview of the chapters so that you can see its thoroughness AND also at this time you can go to the open site above.
I am personally a teetotaler and totally opposed to the use of alcohol as a recreational drink. Still alcohol does have its medicinal purposes and can also be used as an antiseptic and as a aesthetic. In fact in may be about the only aesthetic available until the production of ether can be established.
Here we are principally talking about the use of stills for making fuel. With all the surplus rotting potatoes in the area we would have liked to make a still and produce fuel for our diesel generators. But, presently, there is a $100,000 annual fine (license) for doing so. We will simply have to wait for a more propitious time.
The building and operation of a still takes some skill but it is not what we would call a high-tech operation. After all, the skill is most often identified with hillbilly moonshine makers. The designs here will at least demonstrate the principles involved. It may be largely a matter of scale to get up to larger volumes needed for fuel.
