What size copper tubing should I use for a water distiller?

Post by waterdistiller » Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:37 am

I'm trying to make my own water distiller, and since copper is not heat conductive, this would be my best material to use in order to collect water vapor and transfer it to another container.

Copper is one of the most heat conductive materials there is.

If you don't realize this, perhaps you should not be messing around with pressurized steam, boiling water, and fire.

I don't think there was a real question. I think the post is an underhanded way to sneak the link to website in signature. I removed the same from some long dead resurrected posts by this person.

Pugsy is right. It's thinly disguised spam.

What is it with the spammers today?

Sure looks like it. Seems worse than usual. Don't they know that resurrecting dead threads posting the same thing in multiple threads still counts as spam or trolling?
Maybe the pay rate for spammers has gone up and I need to investigate in some work from home stuff..
