Jesse was given a new toy to play with

Interesting tools indeed! What would Popcorn have said upon seeing this

I'm surprised other people with restricted water source haven't jumped on this.

From a quick search, it's not released until sometime next year.

I like it . But man , too much waffle to get to the point . Admittedly , the video was primarily about Corn liquor not the condenser .

Did I get this right , was he stripping at 3.6kw ? That sounds pretty awesome if that was the case . But his ambient temp was 19-20°C .
Jesse did say at end that he wanted to check at higher ambient temps . That would be what I want to hear about .

When its Summer and 40°C is when water is low .

First page on Google, I believe that price is in Australian dollars and I have no clue what they're worth but I wouldn't pay nothing like that. If the system works and you need something like that, I could see putting a 2 in copper pipe inside say a 4-in PVC and attach fans to it. You could even solder some copper tabs onto that 2-in copper pipe to deflect air and more surface area.
I have to listen to fans 3 months a year,it's noise contamination. I don't think I could handle the fans for 5 hours in my shed.

I think using plastic rain gutters would be easier then PVC pipe. Easier to mount fans on a flat surface.

Yeah that is pretty rich.

Folk might also want to know that this is no new idea . Probably stolen from here 11 years ago

The scrolling banner on top of the still spirits site, announcing their worldwide roll out was the extent of my "quick" google search

Thanks for the link Username

Would be interesting to see if two in series would cope with twice the power .

Yikes, that price point... We've had several DIY projects like this done over the years, right here.

If you google "finned heat exchange tube" or similar, you get dozens of hits for some very practical finned piping. Next, take a few 12 VDC muffin fans, power them in parallel with a variable DC supply, now you have one of these too.

Yeah exactly, were mostly DIYers here. Still cool product, but I prefer water any day of the week.
