Jason Katie wrote 1. exposing a substance to vacuum lowers the boiling point In some instances this is used to lower the temperature such as in the extraction of Tee Tree oils. This gives the oil derived by such means a higher re-sale value as it is not boiled off at high temperatures. 2. a

i had another thought, (scary huh?) these are the presumptions this idea revolves around: 1. exposing a substance to vacuum lowers the boiling point 2. a substance under vacuum vaporizes more quickly than at atmospheric pressure 3. excess energy or energy byproduct (normally lost) tapped from

what if you took the dome still from the ethanol manual and combined it with the castor oil method? or even a combination of the upright solar still and the castor dome in a series? http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/eth_separate.html
