Abstract: A template apparatus and method for manufacturing replacement windshields for automobiles. The template apparatus comprises a rigid frame, a plurality of support bars extending from the rigid frame, an epoxy splash, means for joining the rigid frame to the epoxy splash, means for maintaining the rigid frame to the epoxy splash, means for introducing the epoxy splash into the window well of the automobile and means for simulating the thickness of a glass sealant for introduction into the window well of the automobile before the final replacement windshield is inserted therein. The rigid frame engages the epoxy splash by a support means attached to the frame comprising adjustable fasteners that are rigidly affixed to the body of the epoxy splash. The epoxy splash is introduced into the window well of the automobile. Once positioned therein, a cementing means is applied to the adjustable fasteners to provide a fixation of the template apparatus.

Abstract: Heated distillation still for separating ethanol-water mixtures divided into an upper solar absorbent vaporization section and a lower pre-heating section by a vaporization floor, float means to automatically control the ethanol-water feed to the lower portion of the preheating section when distillation is taking place, means to evenly distribute the ethanol-water mixture on the vaporization floor, means to heat the ethanol-water mixture in the distillation chamber, and means to remove or recycle residual aqueous liquid from the lower end of the vaporization section.
