The accurate way to do it would be via a waterbath to achieve the right temperature (or close to). As for distillation, well, that is going to be hard...you're not going to be able to have a fancy waterjacket but I am sure there could be a way to improvise...

I know that distillation isn't something complex - I've done it too many times myself in the lab
. I just couldn't see you do it in the New World in the wild. WRT old world, I still see some problems - but that it manageable, true.

Much more interesting would be what someone like Lonestar (in the middle of a carrier battle group or something like that) could do.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Make it the entire carrier + battle group, and they could do a lot...
... until they ran out of oil

Isn't the carrier nuclear powered ? Then it's just go to the ME and dig up some oil.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Nuclear carriers also have their own machine shops and libraries (computer and otherwise). They are basically floating factories.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

The rest of the ships aren't. I'd love to see someone set up an oil-drilling operation using only the stuff available to a carrier battle group.Originally posted by BlackCat

Kuci's three personal carrier battle groups would pwn all.

Only problem would be that your clock would be off, given time travel. Best to get a point of reference on nearest land mass, then reset clocks properly using this and a star fix.
After that, as long as skies were clear you'd be able to get a position fix relatively quickly on any clear night.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Do they carry star charts or whatever they use for 100 AD, though?
