[2008-05-05] Improvised radial alembic for DIY steam distillation. This is a cool trick for improvising a condenser when you don't have access to proper equipment.

It could be used for simple distillation (say, to purify water), or, in the slightly more elaborate set-up pictured here, steam distillation (say, to extract essential oils from plants). I would add that this is not my idea, originally, although I may have been the first to recognize the unique shape of the so-called "schoolhouse" lamp globe as highly amenable for impromptu condenser service, since it comes with a readymade "drip tip" where condensate can accumulate. My version, shown in the diagram, requires a stainless steel pot with an integral strainer (constructed such that there is some distance between the pot bottom and the strainer bottom when the strainer is in place), a "schoolhouse" style glass lamp globe which is of greater diameter than the pot, and a stainless steel or glass receiving vessel. Consumables are water, ice, and plant material to be extracted.

Health effects caused by noise : Evidence in the literature from the past 25 years Ising H, Kruppa B - Noise Health. Traffic noise is the most important source of environmental annoyance.

According to the Environmental Expert Council of Germany, severe annoyance persistent over prolonged periods of time is to be regarded as causing distress. Previously, extraaural noise effects were mostly assessed using a paradigm in which the sound level played the major role. On the basis of this paradigm the relatively low sound level of environmental noise was not considered to be a potential danger to health.

In contrast to this numerous empirical results have shown long­term noise-induced health risks. Therefore a radical change of attitude - a change of paradigm - is necessary. Energy Development.
