Sounds pretty cool and expensive, but on more serious note distilling hydrogen peroxide is very dangerous. Even more scary than the distillation is the finished product, 98% H2O2 will spontaneously combust on contact with basically anything organic. Still it sounds pretty neet though I have no idea what I would do with that high of a concentration H2O2. If I remember correctly some of the first german "jet" engines in WWII used H2O2 as the oxidizer, but so many of the engines exploded and so many pilots died they eventually switched to a less killer alternative. Still it would be neet to own one of these machines.
