- Purify water with vortex / law of gravity - good or bad?
What do you think of purifying water by using a vortex / law of gravity?
Here is what I am thinking:
1. Build a funnel-like jar, clog it on the bottom and fill the jar with water. Now wait for several hours.
2. Unclog the bottom, wait for a few seconds (depending on the size of the jar) and then clog it again.
It is my belief that heavier particles than water will fall to the bottom. And if you also unclog the bottom then a vortex will be created which will suck the impurities down even faster. What impurities will be left? The ones that weights less than water, which could either be boiled off or trapped in a filter. Again, it's only what I think, I am not an expert.
What do you think, is this a good purifying technique?
