A couple table-top McGyver-style distillation apparatuses I've set up over the years.

    This is pretty indie, Adam! I love it. Could you benefit from a stir/heat plate?

    Hey Oscar. i've got a hotplate, yeah, but the thing with hotplates is they heat up to a certain temperature and then shut down, and the temperature slowly decreases, and then when the thermostat gets cold enough, it pumps on again. so its a constant up and down. not really good for keeping a stable temperature. so for laboratory conditions its not really desirable

About This Project

This is the first part of a multi-phase experiment in which I will prove that substances isolated from plant fermentation can be used to allay toxic corrosives and heavy metals, thereby transforming them into bio-available substances which support organic growth.

In this first phase, I will illustrate a new chemical process to render insoluble metallic salts, soluble, creating a new type of corrosive which will be used in the next phase.

Blast off!
