Materials

  1. PVC pipe or a large plastic Coke bottle with the bottom cut off

  2. Plastic tube

  3. marbles

  4. Small piece of plastic tube

  5. Oops skipped No. 5 (didn't forget to label anything, just forgot to write the number)

  6. Old saucepan (if possible one with a glass lid, but a normal saucepan is ok)

  7. Plastic bottle

  8. Bucket

How to Build It

  1. Unscrew the handle on top of the lid
  2. Glue the PVC pipe/Coke bottle to the lid covering the hole
  3. Remove the lid of pipe/bottle and fill it with marbles after the glue has dried
  4. Drill a hole in the top of the PVC pipe/Coke bottle just big enough for the plastic tubing
  5. Push the tubing in and glue it in place.  Try not to push to much of the tube into the bottle
  6. Drill 2 to holes in the lid of the second bottle
  7. Push the piece of tube from the top of the saucepan into the hole making sure it goes all the way down to the bottom of the bottle
  8. Push the smaller piece of tube into the bottle but only about 3cm or a bit over an inch
  9. Glue the bottle in the bottom of a bucket

How to Use It

  1. Fill the pot with cheap reasonably high percentage alcohol
  2. Fill the bucket with cold water, add ice if it's available
  3. Put the pot on a stove
  4. Remember how much liquid you put in the pot and the percentage of the alcohol.  Then only let that percentage of alcohol boil through to the bottle in the water.
  5. After it starts boiling turn the stove down a bit, so that it is only just boiling
