Hallo Jim,
This has been thoroughly debunked. Completely untrue.
Happy Happy,

Hi Tom
Well I put a couple of bottles of my hooch in a flask and dumped enough
castor oil on top to form a layer about 2cm thick. Heated to 60 degrees
C and started to nod off while waiting for something to happen. So I
went to bed and left the hot plate on overnight..well in the
Doesn't castor oil absorb alcohol? If so the heat would cause the alcohol to
evaporate out of the water, but it would combine with the Castor oil. That
should raise the alcohol boiling point. Maybe once the Castor oil becomes
saturated with alcohol then any remaining alcohol would appear on the
Thank you,
Even though I don't care for her one way or another I do think spreading
these things in the form of this happened are at best a shame and unfair
to those involved - everybody not just Jane.

Hi Logan;
I wanted to try this as a continuous process so the oil is floating on
the alcohol/water mixture. In this case one cannot heat to the boiling
point of the alcohol much less the boiling point of water. As soon as
any bubbles form they would rise through the oil defeating the purpose
Tom. Castor oil idea is a bum. I pour 100 ml of castor oil ln flask
containing 500ml of fermented broth with about 7.5% ethanol. stirred it good
and left it over night. I did not see any volume increase in castor oil. I
made more test and find out, negligible amount of ethanol was dissolve in
Joe,
There doesn't seem to be any majik bullet for this.
The rate of diffusion is related to the kintetic energy (or vapor
pressure?) of the ethanol, its concentration, and the surface area it is
diffusing through.
I wonder if the problem extracting ethanol from wine is that it
Navnit,
Thanks for the info.
I am working on other idea for destilling ethanol with less energy. If it
work i will let you know
Please do.
Best of luck,
Tom

Hey Tom;
I was thinking along the same lines but then there's this:
Castor oil has a density of about 0.96 at room temp. According to the
specific gravity tests I did with methanol ( ethanol is close in
density) even 90% pure methanol with water still only has a density of
0.82 at 23 deg. C.
Sounds like an attempt to discredit peace activists by linking them with
supporting the enemy. Basically, saying that if you dont want to kill them,
you must want to kill us instead which if they are true peace
activists, they would be equally against.

There is an alarming amount of this stuff floating around, I find it
disturbing as to how people will pass it along as fact and speak of it as
such. Rush would not have a market if this was not so.

I think the concept to remember here is that this 100 Women of the Century
occurred in 1999 and it was a media title. Its interesting that it popped up
recently. I wonder what this individual, if he really exists, thinks of the
present situation?
I don't know if this is the place for this or
its all about the surface area. i assume the flask you were using had an
opening of between three and five cm? try using a wide shallow pan or a big
bowl. and the oil layer doesnt have to be super thick, maybe 5mm.

you have to find the flash point for the ethanol quantity. i also believe
that high percentages of ethanol are more agreeable. this would be a
refining step in a larger process, not a means of distilling.
