That's the basics of distillation. You should have the collection vessel in another larger container with cool water in to keep the collection end cool, to promot condensation, but that'll do it. Don't know how efficient it is, or why you need to do this, when distilled water is cheap and easy to find.
They grow in environments so nutrient poor that their roots are hyper sensitive to almost anything dissolved in water. Tap water will kill them over time.
It should work. Another option would be to boil water (can also do this while cooking pasta, potatoes, ect.) and then collect that water on the cover of the piy with a sponge or a cloth. Or drill through the pot cover and install a copper spiral to cool the water vapor like a moonshine stil. Pic related

OP's pic is an ultrasonic humidifier. Collecting/condensing the output from that unit will not give you distilled water; it will give you essentially the same mix that was in there to start.
Make sure your humidifier is a heating type. That looks like an ultrasonic type which will just blow water into the air minerals and all. Why nit capture the drain off your ac or use a dehumidifier?
No you dumb frick, that thing produces mist not steam
Distilling won't happen unless you fully evaporate the water into steam, and then recondense the steam
you can make it from some copper pipes and kettle but it's all about efficiency
i am looking for solid fuel water distiller and
looks intresting
anyone else has some easy to make ideas that use solid fuel ?
i want solid fuel so in case of chimpout i can just chop trees of my neighbour and use them to distill water
You can get close to distilled water with some reverse osmosis filters. At least in my experience total dissolved solids in the output water is extremely low. Fluoride is also filtered out. I use an AquaPure countertop RO unit for drinking water, for humidification using an ultrasonic humidifier and for a CPAP humidifier.
No. That humidifier doesn't boil the water, there is no temperature separation, it is an ultrasonic evaporator using soundwaves, it is a physical separation. You will just put the same tapwater into the jar you put into the humidifier.
Also you should be using distilled water in that humidifier to begin with to keep it nice an clean.
No it won't.
The water needs to pass from liquid to gas to be distilled.
Humidifiers use ultrasonic to break water into thousands of little droplets, but they are still in liquid form and contain all substances that the water contained in the first place.
caveat, *some* humidifiers use ultrasonics, and while they're getting more common, they're far from the only method out there. they spit salts and microbes into the air so they're not exactly ideal for air quality unless you're buying distilled water for them.
if it's an ultrasonic humidifier, it's vapourising the water but not distilling out other molecules.
The point of distilling is to separate based on evaporation temperature differences, which you won't do with ultrasound.

Well I use a lot of distilled water for my carnivorous plants and I hate to keep buying all those plastic water gallons.
Why do they need it? I bought a venus fly trap the other day
yea they cannot drink water with minerals in it.
They grow in environments so nutrient poor that their roots are hyper sensitive to almost anything dissolved in water. Tap water will kill them over time.
If you're going to keep carnivorous plants long term, just get a RO system. Carnivorous plants love that shit.
youre going to blow up your house
Just grab the water that comes from the AC.
how do i take it from the ac?
Ask nicely
Typically theres a pan under the filter with a pipe drain leading outside. Just open and put a bucket there.

...please tell us you didn't already plug that in
just don't drink it
Your air conditioner also makes the forbidden juice, fortified with heavy metals
I wouldn't drink it.
It won't
Ultrasonic humidifiers are not evaporating the water.
You can add water moisture to air without evaporation, room temp IQ.

anyone itt heard of legionnaires disease? i wouldn't trust any room-temperature evaporation and condensation of water for that reason.
>ultrasonic
lol nevermind
do those have a compressor to pull the heat back out of the condensing water?
damn I should've done this instead of buying an $800 water distiller.
>$800 to boil some water
wat
It boils it real good though.
If you use a lot of distilled water (say, for your drinking water) then it's absolutely worth it to invest in a quality stainless steel distiller like
rather than buying some plastic shit that will break after a few months.
It seems to be working. I added some ice underneath it. Pretty slow process so far.

yea it looks like youre right. it is an ultrasonic humidifier. i guess this doesnt work then.

anon, that's how you make mustard gas!
