How do i get clean sand and washed charcoal in an emergency?

When you are done wash the charcoal with the clean water so you can use it again.

Lovely life hack Thank you We often face floods in our are Clean drinking water is unassailable We can follow the instructions from video And buy time till every thing settle 👌

why u not show drinking it.

Great idea! I'm glad you mentioned exposing the water to sunlight since the filtering process will make your water palatable, but may not remove pathogens. Boiling suspect water (at sea level) is always a good idea.

Wow if you had all these items you would have clean water already.

How many times can that filter be used before it stops filtering water?

Do not use just plane charcoal you BBQ with, it should be Activated Charcoal, it is more porous and will purify much better! By the way, you can use coffee filters in place of tissues!

I mean, this WOULD work in Don't Starve. And I'm writing a fanfic on that so...thanks!

for emergency situatios you can simply put a glass of water and then cover with a plastic bottle cuted in half , and the water will be evaporated and it will make condensation in the plastic bottle leaving mud or salt water in the glass.. where can you get clean charcoal and clean sand in a emergency situation ?

Here's an easier solution: While you're in the kitchen washing pebbles and sand you got from the garden, fill your glass from the sink with the clean water you need to wash the filtration materials with in the first place.

I selected 7 of the flaws of the concept presented here - I hope that the scientist that you'll be some day will agree with me. 1. the whole filter is no better than a bandana/shirt/etc folded a couple of times (which is much easier to use and more likely to have on you in an emergency situation). 2. this filter does not eliminate the microorganisms from the water, so the filtered water is not safe to drink. if you rely on SODIS method to do that, you indeed need clear water for the UV to work, but... see point 1. 3. also, SODIS method was developed for equatorial/tropical regions. solar radiation is different (weaker) in temperate/polar regions - do you have a reliable source for SODIS working in Canada, for example? during winter? 4. you should disinfect the sand first (otherwise the filter itself might contaminate the water), preferably by boiling (but if you can boil your water, why bother with the filter?). 5. "charcoal" is not "activated charcoal". you claim (in a response to a comment) charcoal to be 50% as effective as activated charcoal - do you have a reliable source for that piece of info? it might be better than nothing, but only grounded into a very fine powder, to provide a larger contact surface than when using pieces/chunks like presented in the video. 6. the filter presented is very poorly constructed. to be effective, it should consist of much finer (and dimensionally homogenous) media - thus preventing the water to flow through preferential channels and not through the entire mass of the filter. it also should be packed tighter, to prevent the water from preferentially flowing between the plastic bottle and filtering media (you can clearly see that happening in the video). 7. this is a slow filter, therefore it must be primed before using - which was not done in the video. to prime a slow filter, you should slowly fill it with water, from the bottom up. this way, the preferential flowing channels are less prone to form. also, you should use clean, good-to-drink water to prime it - which you don't have in the first place... I hope you will not take my comment the wrong way. I just wish people were more aware of what they're doing, both when posting and learning from a youtube video.

thanks for the info. and u can also boil the water instead of Sun to kill bacteria.

thanks to your video I past my science project!!!!!

Thanks so much HadronMesons, you saved me from having to get in trouble at school! This is a perfect way for me to purify muddy water for my science experiment!

Yeah, it's important to note that this is just for emergencies, when you don't have a proper water filter and you want to treat dirty water at least somehow. It doesn't remove any loose pathogens in the water, but it probably does lessen them a bit by removing those embedded in silt or humus. This is probably an excellent way to treat visibly dirty water before purifying it in sunlight (6+ hours). Sunlight doesn't sterilize water properly if there's those bigger particles in the water.

i waited for him to drink it :))

Oh don't mind me just got a big bottle, some tissues, charcoal, sand and gravel In my pockets... or just a lifestraw

I want that oscilloscope :) Very nice :)

awesome video, HadronMesons . so the tissues, charcoal and sand/rocks essentially cut off harmful minerals from getting into clean glass?

The description states "extreme situation" in the title. And life straws don't last forever... Have a nice day, bro! 😊

The only reason I'm watching this video is for trying to save money. You see, I'm in college and my parents want me to pay the water bill. Normally my bill comes out as $60 (Yikes!), so what I'm gonna do is buy a brand new trash can from Walmart, then place it in my backyard deck and wait for it to rain, that way the raindrops pour into the trash can. Therefore I have free water to purify and I save a couple bucks on my water bill :D

I DON'T BELIEVE IT !!!! 🤣🤣🤣.. THE WATER WAS CLEAN. HOW? YOUR A MAGICIAN !! 🤪🤪🤪

good idea to put together an emergency kit. the equipment is cheap, roll of first aid cotton, charcoal from most any petstore, sand and gravel, again from most any pet store that sells aquarium supplies, any plastic soda bottle, will be part of my.back pack and in home supplies. thanks for the tips, forward thinking, what a concept.

So basically, in an extreme situation, if you don't find these things within a couple of hours, you're fucked.

Thank you for showing the correct way to make this type water purifier,so many videos are incorrect! Excellent video!

thank you, very clever. guess you could take the water from the surface of a running Creek/river. boil it. filter it. leave it in the sun, then drink it

Wish that the people in Houston Could know this right now. They could use this set up with 5 gallon buckets and filter a lot of water

i doubt you will have any of those in an emergency situation.....

Skip all these steps and get a life straw.

Will it work more then once with the same material? Like if I make one of these then I use it, will I have to replace the materials or could I just keep on using the one that I just made to get more clean water?

well i am happy with that..its more than enough for me to drink it in an emergency.. wonderful and thank you..ohh by the way, those who talk bad about this video, please do it right and try to show how to do it best with out criticizing this video..

I'm gonna get a A+ in my science thing due tmrw thank u. This helped a lot and definetly the best last minute project to do

In water emergency situations I go to the tap 😎👍

Thank you!!!!!

lol during emergency situations...no one is going to do this hahahaha

It is waste of time, how the f*** will u find these things in extreme situation??? someone is not a smart one

woah but in case of survival how will u get glass

thank you! they are making us drink river water here and everyone is worried. I am going to do this. the water looks a lot better after you filtered it.

Thank You very much. Tomorrow is my exhibition in school and ur videos are helping me to do my best. Thank you once again

Watch: "The Balanced Equation HQ" to see how the developing world does it.

Now that's what I call "bottled water".

Very neat trick :). However the best way to get pure water is using colloidal sliver not only is it used to purifier the water on the ISS it also acts as a wide spectrum antibiotic and immune booster. The water in this video is filtered but I am not sure of exactly what degree does this process removed virus from stagnant water?

the oscilloscope on the desk was cute! keep studying lil doc hodgie- you've got a ways to go!

Thank you Indian tech support scamer

can you pisses in it and drink.

Simple and easy method with everyday items. Excellent post.

What is the purpose of the sand/gravel mix? Why not just use activated carbon? Thank YOU.

*How to Drink Dirty Water in Emergency Situation - Survival !!* #survival #scienceexperiment #purification kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibBiqLhhrtm-k4E.html

This is great!

This method may not work in an emergency but it will definately help in cleaning water. Thanks for sharing this video;-)

First of all, thank you for your post. But I feel that the project relies on washing the filtering materials. How exactly do people ensure the gravel and charcoal is clean for use? What water do you use to wash with?

its good to have some bleach drops in pocket to add it kill harmful microorganisms imagine u lost in a hiking trip and u only got drink river dirty water that contains thousands of parasites ecoli and so on! Great video for removing chemical harmful compounds! i have made an emergency kit like that bottle :)

guys stop criticizing him just take the experiment as how to purify dirty water

wawu very good it supports my project work thank u

Using a water bottle is cute but not practical in an emergency, simply because of the amount of filtered water produced. A more useful application would demonstrate the same process using a higher capacity container producing gallons rather than a few liters. Still, the concept is a good one.

intellectual approach and easy...thanks.

Well for emergency carry some iodine tablets or purifiers but still you need to clean that water. And I don't know if you ever felt a real dehydration in a remote place so you would want to drink anything you see. Charcoal is easy to find when you made a wood fire which again you probably will need anyway. If this is going to help you to continue another two days, you may take the risk.

Great idea which I can use in my classroom experiment, thanks! Can I use beach sand instead of gravel?

a better process is to have cloth or coffee filters at the start, ideally, it is better to have sand as the last thing the water passes through, then the charcoal, it works better to first clean large char parts and refine it down to a black powder. this allows full surface tension so that more microbes and metals are pulled away, next you should have another piece of cloth or once again, a coffee filter in place, lastly, its a good idea to place small pebbles or rocks on top of this, this filter is not to really purify the water, its to remove any large debris away from the water before it is filtered. this will get the water to a 80 to 90% pure state but it is ALWAYS safer to boil your water if you plan on drinking it.

nice now you have a clear water....so hows the bacteria???? hahahahahha

may need to elaberate on the importance of Purifying the water, boiling chemical and as you mentioned UV cheers good vid

its aweesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a really good video!

You made some respectable points there. I seemed on the youtube for the issue and found most individuals will go together with with your video.

Very Useful Information - Thank you for Educating for a Clean Drinking Water in Case of Emergency

This is a great video. I needed this for a water purification assignment.

Idk if I can wait 2-3 hours in an emergency- this could be a good science experiment

Step 1 : Wash your charcoal with clean water! I am missing something here?Step 2 : Take out your osciloscopeBy the way, if you can make charcoal by buring wood. I suggest you simply distil the water - that'll be pure enough. Don't forget the oscilloscope.

Thought your suppose to add charcoal after the cloth/grass? This is only filtered not sanitized. Shouldn't it be boiled after?

Empty a bottle full by cola to get bottle

Is se accha saf pani pi lo😂 lekin nice idea! Thumbs up for this video

Hey we all have charcoal with us in emergencies lol

obtained clean water , must be boiled in oder to kill bacteria in it . this process it helpful but not adapted for emergency cases.thanks anyway

Thanks for the video. Is there any science to the idea that sunlight really will kill the bacteria though? I've heard people say this but don't know where they are getting it from? And is that the same for bacteria?

In emergency situations,no one would have charcoal,maybe gravel. In emergency situations,you call 911 for help :P

I was waiting for you to drink it. Ha ha, ot till an actual emergency aye?

IF you have a outside BBQ grill, you have charcoal. Use wood from the fire place that has been burned cut it up in small peaces

You can ad a little gram of alum to settle the impurities before adding water in purifier it will make water more clean

I would boil the water first, let cool, then use your filter., and boil it once more after passing through your Bagdad filter.

technically this vid is correct, good job

Would your water filter be okay if you wanted to make pool water safe to drink?

Why is everyone assuming that a random cup and bottle will be available in an emergency situation? If you're activities could put you into a survival situation then you need to have knowledge of many different ways of obtaining drinkable water.

It is time taking process but interesting!!!!

How to Drink Water in Emergency Situation - Survival 1- Get dirty water from dirty lakes, mud lakes, lakes, rivers. 2- Pour dirty water into a preferred drinking cup. 3- Slowly and gently raise cup while attempting to not spill. 4- Open mouth just big enough to fit 1/4 - 2/4 of the cup in the mouth. 5- Place water into mouth while making sure not to spill and doing so slowly, making sure 1/4 of mouth or 1/2 of mouth is filled with water. 6- Use muscles inside of the mouth to help produce a sucking like motion in which goes down the throat to drink. 7- Repeat steps 3-6 as much time needed until a feeling to not use muscles in the mouth to suck water into throat is present. 8- Repeat the steps 1-7 as many times as needed. NOTE: If lower to middle region of stoumach is in distress, deal with it. #survivalguide #survival #muscles in mouth #throat #suck #zucc #succ #science

It's like someone brings out gravel, tissue, a bottle, and coal at the exact time they are in a survival situation instead of water.

This is really helpful cause I'm doing a project on how to purify water

You all are so funny. I have studied survival for years but even if i didnt this man even tells you to wash the sand and coals to get them clean lol

Dood that was awesome 🙌🙋🙌🙋🙋🙌🙌🙌

Good video & sweet voice .....

Thanks for the vid! Need subtitles tho. No offense

sorry but there is no charcoal and tissues in the middle of the desert

Awesome pal,thanks.

This video is pretty good.

so in an emergency situation you dont have clean water but you have an empty plastic bottle (did someone drink the water out of it?) and you also have sand, gravel, and charcoal... oh man, that must be a really funny emergency situation...

Thank you for putting up this video if we could teach 5 African families this method & in return all we ask is that they teach 5 of there neighbors the same method even if only 1 of the families taught 5 families in 10 years children in Africa wouldn't have to die from dirty water, iv other methods the way to collect morning due in any country, I'm planning my first video this was 1 but to do it from the making of the charcoal & the sorting of meterals for free to show. It's easy sourced.. Ppl throwing out old trampoline safety mesh is perfect for the morning due method the plan is to ship as many as we can collect here in Ireland because there free & need replacing every 5 years but they are still perfect for clean water collection.

HadronMesons, does this make completely purified water? Because I'm planning to make this before I start camping so that I don't need to bring drinkable water.

Hmmmm... I would think that it would be better to place the charcoal on the bottom. I would put the sand and gravel on the top to remove the larger impurities, and then pass the water through the charcoal to filter out the smallest of the impurities. Also, since the charcoal (having been created by high heat) would be 'cleaner' than sand and gravel, it makes more sense to use it as the final filter. And, No... DON'T wash the charcoal - that just introduces whatever microbes are in the water to your final filter.

well he made It to ...KZfaq....hahaha

Great vidéo tnxx last Time when i went back Home on holiday In a small village we couldn't find clean water it was very hot . I was nearly dead This time I'll try this if it happen to me again Thank u for the video
