hi there. at the moment all the details on the build (including the finished product and how it functions) are in the video. i experimented with Video-only instructables, but i've decided to make all of my instructables with both video and all the steps. this is the only one that i haven't added steps too. i'll be adding all the steps shortly.

hi there. no that doesn't happen. that is an internet myth. only thing that may happen is a hair line crack in a brick or bricks with years of use, but no biggie. the bricks are only about 50 cents each

hi there. i've made these type of heaters out of the black poly pipe in the past but they only last about 3 years in the 'desertsun' (where i live). also you have the issue of leeching with plastic. but it is cheaper ($) for sure (and works well in the short run). they do sell both of the fittings in metal/brass as well. *just not at the 2 home stores i go to. *technically they are *permanently "out of stock" lol

hi there. yep, you just drop the end in the jar (just bend the pipe to fit the size jar you're using). * i've used up to a one gallon glass jug. the condensation takes place both inside the pipe and in the jar. probably most in the jar itself. you do lose some out the top (as sealing the top of the jar is not possible (due to pressure build up) but cooling the jar with a wet wash cloth (or cool water) helps increase the condensation rate. i've also tried "tenting" a piece of aluminum foil over the jar as a way to capture even more water vapor. that helps *and allows for pressure to escape

hi again, quick update to my last post... i just re-spoke with an instructables manager and they changed their minds. they now say that my current instructables meet their new guidelines... so i'm not shutting down the account after all :)
