About This Video:
I made a water filter from cane that siphons clean water from a dirty water while simultaneously using the xylem present in the the cane as a filter. MIT engineers had already proved that pine branches can be used as water filters as the thin membranes connecting the straw like xylem filter out 99% of bacteria such as E.coli which make water unsafe to drink ( meche.mit.edu/news-media/mit-... ). Taking this concept, I used a type of cane in the forest and bent them into hook shapes, tying them in place with vine. Then I put dirty water into a raised pot and siphoned clean water from it into a lower collection pot. Initially some sap comes (which is also harmless to drink) out but then water flows through the stem. It does take a while for it to work but the process can be sped up by adding multiple canes working in parallel. The water that came through is clean and I was able to drink it without ill effect. After a few days the canes clog up and need replacing though one cane lasted longer than the others for some reason. Also in this video, I test the effectiveness of filtering water through a clay pot submerged in a creek, the ceramic walls acting as a filter for the creek water. Both methods seem to work but the clay pot method is more useable and needs less maintenance. But, the cane siphon would be better if no clay pots were available, simply filtering water from a puddle into a lower collection container such as a folded leaf.

About Primitive Technology:
Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials.

I got the idea for this from MIT researchers who filtered water through a pine branch. Apparently it removes 99% of the bacteria in the process. What I added was the siphon principle, so that it's able to carry the water up and over an obstruction. Pottery isn't required for this to work, water could be siphoned and filtered from a higher up mud puddle into a lower container made of leaves for example.

@conanthecribber Год назад

It seemed to me that the cane tips were sitting more or less flush on the bottom of the clay pot. I had the feeling that this would prevent the flow of water through the cane. And as always, love the content. Best thing RU-vid has ever suggested to me.

Thanks for sharing that knowledge, it could be a lifesaver for somebody one day. I wonder if there is some sort of fine organic matter, small seeds or pollen perhaps, that you could mix into the clay for a pot to make the filtration faster without compromising the water quality. I have heard of this done with coffee grounds but there must also primitive alternatives. The idea is that the organic matter turns to carbon and burns out, any remaining in the core of the pot wall would just help to purify the water as activated charcoal does.

@Edetwo Год назад

perhaps an angled cut at the end of the siphon would speed it up? like a 45 degree angle cut at the output so the water doesnt have to push up the end to exit the "tube". And im not sure, since i didnt see how low the tube was in the top pot, but moving the intake higher off the bottom of the source of water, increases flow, and reduces clogging from mud and such since it sinks to the bottom

We own two of those in my home. For our friends overseas, nowadays the complete set is basically two clay pots stacked one over the other, with a proper industrially-made filter between them. However, back in the day, people would actually use plain clay pots called _moringa_ to filter, boil and store water. Edit: we do have running water and a clean, stable suply of it, but it is still Brazilian culture to own aditional filtration systems, for in some places the water mains are still old, and sometimes dirt contaminates the water during maintenance.

There is this water filtering system people would use where I come from (Canary islands), and maybe in other places as well. They used these volcanic rocks as filters, and clay pots to hold the "dirty" and "clean" water. This contraption would catch rain water or just water brought from wells and such. There was one at my grandma's house, though not in use anymore. She would always leave an empty glass by the pots as a reminder of its use, and explain it to me when I was younger.

@jasonjayalap Год назад

You can extend the life of your filter by using settling/sedimentation, like a three pot settling method (~48 hours of settling), first. Or if you have fabric (I see you don't have your sari on) you can fold it 4-8 times and get a ~20 μm filter. But maybe the outside-the-pot technique is better, depending on circumstances. Check for cracks with the clay pot method (short circuits in the filter). Note that these methods aren't great with viruses (clay without silver; gymnosperm xylem according to MIT).

@TheNewton Год назад

For the source water there's also the desert sand technique, make a circular divot in sand/clay and pour water around the edge saturating AROUND the divot. The water will filter through the sand into a pool in the divot. This way also less gunk would build up in the elevated siphon jar for mold etc or blocking the cut ends of the cane with particulate.

Oh and the slow sand filter. Where the actual filter element is a membrane of bacteria etc. that accumulates on top of a column of sand over time, and you filter from top to bottom through that column. For example with a ceramic pot that has a hole in the bottom.

@TheScarvig Год назад

@@djazt.8053 i think it would be interesting but challenging to make a reverse clay filter maybe combined with your sand filter. have a big long cone made of burnt clay that you fill to maybe a third with sand. then fill it with water and place it elevated so that the tip of the cone is over a collection vessel. the long shape allows for more hydrostatic pressure toward the tip of the cone accelerating the water pushing through the pores of the clay.whatever water seeps out along the sides will also run down towards the tip and be collected. the sand helps prefiltering and the the entire apparatus should be possible to be refreshed once clogged by burning it out. to prevent airflow which evaporates the filtered water before it drips into the collection vessel the thing could be set up in a tube like the chimneys he built for his iron smelting.

It reminded me of a video I saw recently where this guy was showing how way back in the day people would use these big clay jugs to keep water cool in the summer in the desert.

So when I realized what you were doing with those pots of yours, blew my mind, brilliant i tell you

@ThrobbiusMaximus Год назад

shoutouts Andy Ward

@peccantis Год назад

The evaporation keeps the jug cool just like sweating helps humans keep at a reasonable body temperature. Think of it as trying to boil a kettle of water by heating up the little stream that's pouring out of it. The water starts out cool as it's pulled from a well. It's put in a large jug. If the jug doesn't sweat, and it's dark coloured and put in sunlight, the water will soon be hot, with the dark jug walls absorbing the ambient heat as well as the heat from sunlight, becoming hot, and releasing that heat into the water next to the walls, and the water next to the walls releasing the heat to the water in the middle of the jug. If the jug is out of sunlight, it warms up slower. If the jug isn't dark, it doesn't absorb heat as efficiently, even in shade. If it's protected from wind, it warms up even slower, because air is very ineffective in transferring heat, and stopping new hot air from coming to the jug with the wind makes that transfer even less efficient. But if the jug on top of all that also sweats, seeping water slowly to make the walls damp, something special happens. The surrounding hot air releases heat into the water on the surface, making it evaporate. Water takes a lot of energy to evaporate, so this takes some time, especially if wind can't bring hot air in. By the time the water on the surface has evaporated, more has seeped out! This water comes from the cool insides of the jug, so it takes just as long to evaporate (if not longer, since the air around the jug is now a bit cooler after giving al that heat to the evaporated water).

I'd like to put a caveat on this, from the perspective of a water treatment operator. The cane does a pretty good job at clarifying the water, this is true. And removing the turbidity (read: suspended particles) does remove a significant portion of the bacteria present. However, it is not nearly enough. I need to re-up on my Regulations course, but I definitely know you want more than 99% removal of pathogens, especially in a tropical zone like that. Typically you want at least 3-log removal (99.9%), if not 4-log (99.99%) or higher. Therefore, I would still recommend boiling the filtered water before drinking it.

Very interesting about the filtering through the xylem of the cane plants in your locale. It makes me wonder if the reeds and various shallow water vegetation in southern Oregon where I'm from could be and were used for the same purpose by the native Americans there. One interesting experiment to try would be making the siphoning canes longer, maybe 2 or even 3 times, and then using the extra length to extend the downflow section of the siphon while maintaining the one in the source dirty water pot. The larger volume of water and gravity on it in the down flowing section of the cane might provide a stronger siphon and speed up the process a bit possibly?

@necrorebel5718 Год назад

I did some pottery classes about ten years ago, and from what I remember, how permeable a pot is depends on how hot it was fired. John here usually produces earthenware, which doesn't dissolve in water like rough clay does but is porous and thus permeable, since in order to produce the nonporous stoneware he'd have to get much higher temperatures in order to vitrify the clay (basically partially melting it into a glass). To do that he'd need similar, if not more, heat generation as is produced in his iron-smelting setups, which isn't really practical for his larger pieces.

@finnpalm9951 Год назад

I would like to point out that while this might work to remove visible pollution in the water I would not deem it drinkable simply from filtering out those particles. Avoid stagnant water as a source for drinking water. And always boil it, keeping in mind the rule "big bubbles - no troubles". Filtering is nice for removing particles, but always boil water you find in the wild.

@jokcho5 Год назад

so much this. viruses, bacteria, cysts are all still present and clay particles is the least of your troubles. Always boil the water.

@ncc74656m Год назад

That's a fantastic idea! The only thing I would add is if you know you're pulling from a soiled source, you should still boil it if able. In a dire survival situation where a fire isn't an option, this will still be vastly better than the inevitable dehydration.

@rockyblacksmith Год назад

Though this is REALLY slow for a survival situation. There are water filter setups that work a lot faster, and variations of which you find in pretty much any survival handbook; A container with a small opening at the bottom, filled with fine sand or earth at the bottom, and then ever coarser material (pebbles and then rocks) the further up you go. Often a layer of charcoal is added to absorb anything organic, and some will use cloth layers if available. I've built one like that myself, it cleans up the water extremely well, and the flow rate is significantly better than this here. Something like this, particularly the siphon setup, might be useful as a static setup when you want a steady supply of filtered water without time constraints. It would be a lot easier to maintain since you only have to refill the top container.

@BoarhideGaming Год назад

Yeah, I was wondering whether or not this removes micro bacteria or viruses, since stagnant water in particular is incredibly dangerous to drink. I wouldn’t even necessarily trust modern trekking water filters to fully remove bacteria from contaminated waters, especially in a survival situation where the resulting diarrhoea could easily be fatal. And that’s not even mentioning other poisonous substances, like heavy metals. These vines are a very neat trick, but I’d be very careful with it (and seeing the flow rate, you’re kinda forced to take it slow)

@joshpoole6056 Год назад

Seems like it takes too long in this environment, like how many mosquitoes already laid larva in there in that amount of time? 🤷

@michaelb1761 Год назад

@@BoarhideGaming I wouldn't worry about heavy metals or carcinogens in a survival scenario, since hopefully, you won't be drinking the water for more than a few days rather than a few decades. For modern membrane filters, it would depend on the source. For instance, if it is a cow pound where you can expect a variety of nasty amoeba, I would definitely filter and disinfect.

@etienedalcol 5 месяцев назад

Tip: make two pots of clay, one larger, one smaller but with a big lip, so it fits in the larger pot, but is suspended. When you make the smaller one, add a layer of charcoal between the clay at the base. Add water to the upper pot, wait until it leaks into the bigger one. This should be an excellent filter that lasts a couple of years until it clogs.

@benlabarre5547 Год назад

Have you considered a gravity fed filter (gravel->sediment->sand->charcoal->output)? I’ve had mixed results, but when I made a duel system (2 filter system) it got better and after a few weeks each filter began improving, though you will want to exchange the charcoal medium periodically.

@Szgerle Год назад

It could be easily done as a tower of stacked up clay pots of the same side, maybe even add interlocking notches to their lips and bottoms. That way they could be easily upsized and left on their own to filter for possibly days.

@Wulfik19 Год назад

This works as a first step but you would still have to boil the water as that filter clears out dirt and sand and small particles but not bacteria. I mean it helps but still is not ideal only would be good like a "I am about to die of dehydratation and need water" it will give you water for few days but then diarrhea might set in and you are done for.

@Templarfreak Год назад

as wulfik said this wont give you totally clean water, but if the method in the video actually works (he says he got the idea from an MIT research paper, but the research paper in question is using pine branches, not the types of shoots he's using, which idk if they'd be as effective or not) then combining the two methods would be good, the layered filter with charcoal is great for getting VERY clean-_looking_ water, but this method in the video still appears to give somewhat dirty-looking water.

Another idea could be to make a multi-step filter. For example, a fibrous mesh (or even a ball, if weaving a finer fiber's too much work) packed into a clay funnel to get anything large, then decanting to remove sediment, THEN passing it through a cane siphon for bacteria and finer particles. It'd likely take much longer to clog, but I imagine it'd also be a much cleaner result if the cane has a lighter workload, too.

@gustavchambert7072 Год назад

@paulbui1410 Год назад

@@gustavchambert7072 Both are pretty smart however I'd have to give it to you Gustav as your method is more automatic rather than having to actively topping up the water.

@gustavchambert7072 Год назад

Another good idea is elevate the cane just bit when submerged in the muddy water pot, as heavy particles will still settle to the bottom over time, this would hopefully make your cane not clog up as quick

Fun fact about clay filters, we us a lot of them for disaster relief in Central America. We get them from a company called Eco-Filtro because they're factory made to be better than just making them by hand (I believe the clay mix has a little extra carbon?) and they come in a five-gallon bucket with a little spout. Put dirty water up top, get clean water out the bottom. Good for a family of 4-6 for 2-3 years!
