You’re hopeless at welding

there are several on them at youtube, i have saved some in my playlist "fire"

ricvis44 thats the same as a catalytic converter the mess gets super heated and burns the excess fuel. and i was thinking he should put a brake rotor right over it to spread that flame out.

VW diesel engine glow plugs are dirt cheap, easily obtained, and gets fuel over it's ignition temperature. :) Downside, they draw 10-15 amps each @ 12v for however long you need to get the fire lit proper.

the size of the burn chamber (pot) you use matters if its to big then it wont run right. as seen when i start mine i use a plumbing torch to get it lit and often keep it against the side of the pot to get it to temperature to vaporize the oil. also to much oil in the pot makes it difficult to start so you could try starting with a small amount of kerosene then when that is lit add the oil. Good luck and be safe.

object of the stove is low cost heat, not 4$ in K1 every start

Temp's on the Tank 1600 ish in the flue not sure as the gauge i currently use it wraps around. but in the garage for my work area i see over two hours it warms up by 20C. and on that day i did not pay attention and it ran a little hot but did get 35c from when i started the furnace to seeing the tank glowing red and adjusting the fuel (WMO) Thanks for the question

Jod Bronson hello on start up and shut down is the only time it smells. when it's running with the door open it burns hot enough there is no smell.

Ah, THANK YOU !!! When I make mine, I make sure to worry about that Door... LOL. I really want to make one without a Door, just how to CLEAN it is the question, LOL. Pretty easy with Auto Lighting and Refueling.... Cleaning is the question, LOL

I have another question. What kind of Paint did you spray your Tank with? High Temp Stove Paint? Thank you !!!

Jod Bronson yes just black high temp paint

Yvon Larocque Yes the oil flow + air controls the heat. But to much oil with out more air will burn rich and lots of black smoke. So you need to find a balance.

It needs refining, the air needs a blast gate installing so you can finely adjust the flow, not just by a fan speed controller. Another thing is exhaust gas recycling. Cars use this to retard the ignition point which slows the ignition point and also means you can further regulate the burn, resulting in a lower more efficient burn temperature. It also reduces emissions. This is done with a duct fan off the chimney, another blast gate and adding to the air intake just before it enters the burner. Once lit and running the exhaust gas can be introdiced and you should find with practice you can det the yellow flame (rich mixture) down to almost blue (ideal ratio) which is the sweet spot where air and fuel ratio burns at an ideal ratio and mixture.

I agree, an old brake rotor or two spaced a lil apart would help hold on to and disperse the heat. But, a nice build.

Yes both oil and air are in the same pipe. The oil starts in 1/2 and pours into the center of the 1 1/4 pipe at the elbow above the burn chamber. Combining the oil with forced air helps thin it which will burn quicker/vaporize. I have a few other videos posted describing the layout better

Sure you could run the pipe out the back it could keep more heat in the furnace before it exits, where in mine it goes straight up and out. i want to add some tubes through the center to allow pipes to get hot and have air blow through. 4" should work i went with the size as that is what i found for it. my set up was salvaged so i used what was available.

That blower was on a hot water tank and had a 12" long rubber tube T that fit over the 11/4 pipe and i taped off the open side of the T. I have a few videos that shows the layout better

Hello Peter.Here is a link to new video that might help with how the furnace/Burner is built.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7ahrLR-y9TWm2Q.html

The air pipe is 1 1/4 the oil line is 1/2 The oil line feeds through the air tube inside the chamber and ends almost center for where it drops I found that the 1/2 line could fit in a 3/4 pipe. 1 of the other videos I layer out all the pieces and walk through how it hooked up.

Hello I don't know what the cfm is on this blower. Also I have it connected with a fan dial switch so I can regulate the power to adjust the speed it rarely runs at full power.

About 4 liters per hr running full tilt. Less if you run it low

he clearly stated it was a fan from a hot water tank lol.

'it ends up burning hydrogen and oxygen after the waters cracked'... THEN IT CRACKS THE WATER INTO HYDROGEN & OXYGEN... And then burns the hydrogen & oxygen, which makes water... And then it does it all over! Perpetual motion! By dang you solved the problem with Physics! No need for further fuels!

I pulled it from the scrap bin at a furnace shop. I think it came from a High efficiency hot water tank

I work for a company with a fleet of 40 trucks so i get all the oil i need from work. I have heard of other people who get oil from dealerships or mechanic shops.

in sweden they seem to sell it for like $1 per liter but sometimes its for free

Haven't tried that yet but my guess the water would vaporize quicker then the oil.

@@MrAzspike i was thinking like if it would work as a explosion agent actually. sorry i forget to tell about it a youtube search on "oil water fire" shows how dangerous that combination is. i have hard time beliving water adds energy anyway but who knows, right

If the temp were high enough to split the water straighten fuel

@@sheilamclaughlin963 you mean like that it adds air/oxygen to the fuel?

If the dog hadnt stopped to shit he would of caught the rabbit @@sheilamclaughlin963

Yes lots of heat is being lost in this system. Putting a water or glycol system would make it more efficient.

one of the first videos has more detail how its built. goes over pieces of pipe that are used.

Hello dino AnastasiaLink is to a new video with more detail on how its put together. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7ahrLR-y9TWm2Q.html

The outside door is open for fresh air. The door on the furnace is open to get more heat out of it.

I watched a couple of Gerry's videos. His uses no electricity. MrAzspike looks pretty heavy duty,but electricity needed. My camp in VT has no electric. I have a very old propane tank and will watch some more videos to find the easiest and best efficient design to build.

Camp Freedom. Do your home work before you start cutting on that tank! Maybe you already have. I just don't want anyone to get hurt or killed!

For this still a blower is needed. It could be modified for an up draft style where the required air gets sucked in to the combustion chamber

That's a good question. I drink on occasion then we have a good time with our things that are mine.

MrAzspike hahaha.....that is certainly as good an explanation as any. Keep warm and Merry Christmas.

MrAzspike yep.

I take credit, we make mistakes, they are to blame.
