Hello, James,

The glassware setup I envision would be a sequence
of upper and lower sections cut from bottle, jars and
jugs. Two lower sections would be a narrow, tall
beaker-like vessel and a wide, shallow saucer-like
vessel. The latter would sit on and inside the former.
The two upper sections would be bell-like. The
smaller one would act as the condenser of water
vapor enclosing the beaker-like innermost vessel
that holds the feedstock water. This smaller bell-like
upper section would sit inside and on the saucer-like,
larger bottom vessel. Finally, the larger upper bell-like
section, cut from a jug, would cover the others and
protect them from dust while enhancing the
greenhouse effect like a double-pane window does.

Best regards,

Matthew
