Easy plastic still

Looks so easy to make but I guess It comes with a big hang over. The web site says
"Legal to own. This plastic still is legal to own in all countries. But it is not legal to use in all countries.
Easy to build. This home distillation plastic still is easy to build. It takes 15 minutes, and no welding is involved.
Needs no stove and no cooling water to distill alcohol from a mash made of sugar (sucrose) and Turbo Yeast. This amazing plastic still produces one litre (about one quart) of 35-40% very pure alcohol per day. To make it 55% you must distill twice.
Process maintains itself. No overseeing is necessary. One distills three litres (about three quarts) in 3-4 days, then the only thing to be done is to turn off or restart the still after 3-4 days.
Price to build the plastic still is low. Anyone can build this still at home"

Well if you use the right foodgrade buckets its said to produce a very clean distillate.
The problem with "The Amazing Still" is to get the right heating element, because aquariums are not usually heated to 40-55'C. I'm looking into the still, hoping I can construct a similar but more interesting device that I've thought up.
Consider you have two of those 30 liter fermentation buckets, the lids interconnected by a wide flexible tube.
Picture this: you insulate the "left" bucket, pour in 25 liters of fermented mash, close up the two buckets and heat the left bucket to 50'C with your heating element. (has to be something like 200 watt then!)
The warm mash will fume off the promised 35-40% vapor, because the surface area is larger it will do so at a higher rate.
The hot vapor will go through the wide tube into the right bucket, which acts like a big cooling tower, making the vapor condense to form 70-80proof alcohol of the alleged nice purity.
This means you can leave the apparatus alone for a week, and return to find 8-10 liters of 70proof in the right bucket, with the spent mash in the left.
In this souped-up version of the Amazing Still you can distill an entire batch (25 ltr) of mash, without any supervision, coolants or odor, on a floor space of say 2x4 feet in one week. Now that sir is sexy
