They used to make yacht size stills that ran on the waste heat from
the engine. They got more than a gallon of water per gallon of fuel
burned, so you carry fuel instead of water, and have more range.

Did they run on heat alone or was there a vacuum pump involved? I once
maintained a system that, powered by a Perkins, used both.And, frankly
was an absolute ******* to keep running.
