we are past the can drilling stage-hubby drilled em out completely both ends, I thought holes should be smaller to slow air flow and to add metal heating conduction. So just a long tube now. Box is built. He cut large pvc in half to make a mold to lay cans in for assembly. Taking pics of all of the steps. May not be complete by end of December cold- but will be done by Feb I hope. Our water distiller based on plans from El Paso Solar Energy Society lasted better part of a decade and saved us plenty on water delivery. I think he is going to try a second design then compare outputs. stay tuned. And he split the wood somehow after he drilled all holes for end piece and starting over-so I think he would start with thicker piece.

In reply to shari. Think it's supposed to be "high temperature silicone". Found this by Googleing: "Food Grade FDA RTV red adhesive 3 oz BBQ grill smoker NSF silicone High temp 650F"

You can use the red, high -temp silicone that’s available at any auto parts store.

RTV silicone (not silicon), like Permatex. You can get it at most auto stores.

My father and mother are both disabled and on a fixed income, they still have a fairly big house ( 2 story 4 bed). I am going to try this at their house I think I will have to use a couple but if it works, money saved is money earned.

Theres an easier and more efficient version that uses fly screen in place of coke cans.
