After finishing my first still (Nixon-Stone) I've developed an addiction to the building process.
Already I am keen on building another.
So I thought, why not make something a bit more exciting? I then sat down and drew up a design for a continuous still very heavily inspired by the Coffey Patent still.
The only major difference is that I wish to do this with packing and only one plate, the plate being only used for the collection of what will hopefully be near-azeotrope ethanol.
Can anyone see any major problem that could arise in this still design? I know that it will be difficult to control at least, but there are probably some design flaws I've overlooked. I also know it's a complicated and relatively expensive-to-build design - but I've run into some disposable income lately.
