This is ENDLESS Heat for Your Home WITHOUT Electricity 2.0. When the heater is used for the first time and gets very hot, it will begin to burn off some of the paint from the top of the heater. The same way a wood burning stove does when used for the very first time. After the paint is burned off, it will no longer emit fumes from the paint itself. If the house is very airtight, one might need to crack a window open, just a little bit to provide oxygen for the heater, or the heater can have a secondary pipe that is bringing oxygen in from outside. The same way we did on the previous heater video: • ENDLESS Heat for Your ... . The oil tank we built can hold half a gallon of oil, and it takes us a week to go through a single gallon of oil. We are only using the heater for 4-6 hours a day, only when we are there using our shop. Now if you need to run the heater nonstop, you will probably go through more oil each week. To put out the fire, simply put your hand over the fresh air intake pipe and hold it until the fire dies off from lack of oxygen. We are using dry cotton baby wipes as a fuse. Once the entire tank of oil is empty, we simply install a new baby wipe and refill the tank again. When the oil tank is completely full and the heater has been working for 30 minutes, the heat released from the heater is enormous. One can feel the heat from a distance or just walking by it. It feels like a blast of heat. We estimate that the heat released it approximately as much as two small space heaters at full blast.

Well done, Daniel. I like that you took some of the feedback from the previous build and then some to make this. Going horizontal was a definite design improvement. Spacing from the wall is a big improvement. The metal tube going through the center is also superior to what I'm about to use (stove pipe). And the long flame is fantastic! Well done 👍👍👍 BTW, mine is going to be used in an RV and mounted to a removable metal pane I place in the window. Also, I'm using mason jars to house the fuel (good visibility on fuel supply), 1/2" fiberglass wicks (VERY long lasting and large flames), and generic Crisco vegetable shortening (exceptionally long burn time). I may need to use one candle in one jar to be the first one I light. This will cause the other jars of Crisco to heat up, melting the shortening, and allowing the shortening to move up the wick. Then, they can be lit as well.

Pretty cool! A couple of suggestions-- use carbon felt as the wick because it will never need to be replaced and will wick up almost anything. Use the high temp JB weld because this is pushing the temp limits of the standard JB weld and may release nasty vapors when it burns. Before painting it with high temp paint, give it a long hot burn outside so the original paints can off gas.

2 things I would like to mention. Don't use JB Weld. Once you reach the breakdown temps of JB it will start to release some toxic compounds into the air. Also, don't cook out of cans foods come in. They have petroleum based or plastic liners in them. You don't really feel or see it, but it is there and has been for a couple decades now. When you cook in the can that does leech into your food. Otherwise, this is a great simple design for a small home or office area. I may would have put bend in tubbing and ran that through to increase the surface area and increasing the amount of heat that could have been created but this is a neat, clean straight forward design that does take up very little space. Nice work!

You should be concerned about how warm it gets inside the heater. With the fuel container inside the enclosure, once the temperature hits around 150°F, the fuel will start to give off combustible vapors inside the enclosure which could lead to a fire. Perhaps if the fuel tank were hanging below the box so that it was exposed to the inside air, that would help keep the fuel cool.

@kerrywsmyth Жыл бұрын

The bottom won’t get that hot at all, the heat exchanger gets rid of the bulk of the heat and the chimney gets rid of the rest. All the heat remains above the flame. Cool air is constantly brought it from the bottom.

@stpaulmercantile Жыл бұрын

@@kerrywsmyth I don’t know. 150F isn’t that hot. Some lamp oils have flash points as low as 120F. I sell kerosene cook stoves for a living and I’ve never seen one where the fuel tank is inside the combustion chamber. One of my customers put a kerosene stove in a space where air flow was blocked on 3 sides. The fuel tank caught fire. If you simply made the box 2 inches shorter (top to bottom), cut a hole in the bottom and let the tank drop by two inches, it would be safer. Extra care should be taken with homemade heaters, as your homeowners insurance would not cover the fire damage from such a heater.

For your next build you should design your bottom intake to draw air from outside. Since your bottom intake draws air from within the cabin, it's also drawing out the warmed air and exhausting it outside. This is similar to the issue with old fireplaces, they draw the warmed air into the fireplace and then exhausts it out the chimney, which is why fireplaces were very inefficient. Modern wood stoves are much better because they don't draw air from within the house. So, if your intake draws from outside air you won't have to worry about the heater drawing any warm air from within the cabin and exhausting it outside. But great concept, I like it!

@benjaminmiles5062 Жыл бұрын

Better to draw warm air from the room to heat up and circulate again, it will work less hard, this is a good design apart from the air to blow out should be aimed up from the intake so no need to use a fan, Chimney effect.

wouldnt bringing cold air in from outside create moisture issues or affect the flame? if anything, intake should be longer to pull cooler air from lower level of the room.. my question would be - would there be an improvement in heat distribution if instead of an open hole at the end, it was blocked at the end and had a floor register design that sent the heat out in different directions?

@newmonengineering Жыл бұрын

It's actually better to draw the air from the room. It creates a slightly negative pressure inside allowing fresh air to find its way in through windows etc. If the source is outside you are constantly recycling the same air inside and because it's hot the inside creates a positive pressure which means if there are any fumes that leak they are staying inside and building up toxins. The small amount of air passing outside is not going to effect the hearing much in either case but its better to have a slightly negative pressure in the room allowing fresh air to seep in thus having cleaner air. HVAC was a field I worked in for a bit and we always tried to have air going outside in some circumstances to create a slightly negative pressure indoors to allow fresh air to seep in.

@daphnelhunt Жыл бұрын

One reason the horizontal build is superior to the vertical build in your previous heater is that vegetable oil is thick and tends to fall off when the supply goes down below a certain level on the wick and the heater fizzles out. This is the same thing that happens with vegetable oil lamps that need a short distance between the flame and the bottom of the oil supply. This model looks like it is easier to fill and safer than your previous version. Enjoy your warm home!

Wrap a small diameter copper (water) tube around a portion of the flue pipe to turn waste heat into hot water. Would require an overhead (insulated) resevoir, pressure relief valve (unless it is an open system), and a faucet at the bottom. Also, put a pot of water on it to return moisture into your building that is being removed by the heat.

Nice build. Compact and looks good on the wall too. Just a tip for cutting your steel box. Try drilling holes in each corner first so when you use your angle grinder you will get a cleaner cut to the corners. If the corners need to be square you can use a file to achieve that. As the hot air is vented out the exhaust flu new air must be introduced to the room which usually means cold air from outside will be sucked in through window and door gaps creating drafts. To help prevent this you could draw your cold air from outside rather than the room by putting another hole in the wall and channelling your air intake through there. For your wick you could also use pure carbon felt. Not too expensive and will last forever. Keep up the good work

I am thinking of this for my attached garage. I have used electric space heaters in the past. The price of electricity is outrageous and this looks like a good inexpensive solution. Based on this build I already have most of the parts. In my opinion something like this is not for inside ones home/living space but rather a heat source for a garage or workshop or a tiny home or other out buildings. Lots of good suggestions in the comments. - Do a burn before painting is a good idea and is recommended for wood stove prior to installing. - Use high heat JB weld. - I like the idea of venting out the window (a horizontal sliding window) versus cutting a vent hole in the side of the wall. - Installing the unit lower and draw the cooler air near the floor versus drawing cold air from outside. No need to cut an cool air intake hole in the wall. The compact size makes it easy to remove and store in the summer and re-install every winter. In the video he used a rectangular metal pipe for the heat transfer but I would use a metal chain link fence post section cust to the required length. The metal guage of the fence post would be sufficient to withstand the internal heat. I have some old fence posts lying around somewhere. I just have to find them.

You should put a temperature control system in it. Temperature relates to how long the wick will burn till the temperature drops again to reignite the wick. Kind of like a furnace. Could save on oil consumption and promote safety measures. Also a carbon felt would be a great long lasting wick. You can get the carbon felt where they sell welding supplies.

I actually used a 1/2in wide hurricane lamp for an extra (supposedly) 900btu of heat last night. 1500W (5100btu) space heater didn't quite keep up during a low 20s night.. used a 200W heater along with it and that sort of worked. But adding the 1/2in wick hurricane lamp to the 1500W heater.. stayed 70F in here. And was thinking on some kind of oil tank with several oil lamp burners.. extending the rods that adjust the wicks to outside an ammo box.. or maybe just have the knobs facing towards the door.. pop it open, turn wicks up/down, close it up.

BRAVO on your Creativity & Safety! Consider thermally mounting inside your Heat-Exchanger , an additional copper or aluminum finned heat-exchanger (from an old computer) to create more surface area inside your heat-exchanger. You will get more heat out that way. You should also test "Activated Carbon Felt" as a wick-material. Pretty good capillary action for most liquids. You may need a few drops of Alcohol to get it started, depending on the oil used. And Activated Carbon Felt is heat resistant (very little smoke if any). Best of Luck - Regards.

I can see a few safety issues with this design. For one, you should be using a double layer exhaust pipe. Two, you need a heat resistant blower. The 12v computer fan will short out after a while. Three, the fresh air inlet on the bottom should have a damper and flame resistant box to catch any sparks or burning material that may fall from the inside, down the fresh air inlet. You have to be really careful with inventions like this. You don't want anyone killed by using your design. Also both a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector should be present in the room.

@@goysb4jays566 They make chimney pipes for wood burning stoves and for fireplaces that have a pipe inside a pipe. This sucks in cool air around the exhaust pipe to keep it from heating and drying the wall where the exhaust goes out so that it does not spontaneously combust. Your pipe is thick but the wood in the wall will get very dry and eventually could catch fire. These stove pipes are common in hardware stores.

Good idea and concept. Few safety factors and most have been covered by other comments. One I would recommend is when using outside air for vent and exhaust to use a screen or wire mesh to keep squirrels, birds and mice from building a nest inside pipes that could cause carbon monoxide from air blockage. Also use a second fuel pan if using constantly. Pull the empty one out after letting cool down and just put the other pan in and restart the flame.

You can improve it even further. 1)Use caebon wick as wick. 2) Use a set of peltier modules to run the fan. A Peltier module can convert heat into electic energy. In this way, you will drastically reduce the costs of the wicks, make it electrically imdependent and the only thing you will have to do will be refilling it. You could also add a priming mechanism and a pipe that would allow you to refill the tank from the outside - without opening the lid.

Tip: try using 100% cotton towel cut to size (horizontally) and placed between 2 round bars.this would allow you to adjust the wick from both sides of the box and never have to change the wick depending on the length you choose. Of course This would need a lot of experimenting.

it doesnt remove oxygen from the room, it pulls air through all the small gaps around the windows and doors of the house. The draft creates a slightly negative pressure, similar to turning on the exhaust fan in your bathroom (but not nearly as much CFM)

@jimwei4life Жыл бұрын

The screws and bolts need a huge amount of heat to warp. I assume normal screws and bolts would be fine for this project. The heat is contained inside the ammo box which causes the screws and bolts to not get nearly as much heat as any other part of the heater. As the video said, the fan is very efficient at circulating air through the heater so the hot part would be the pipes rather than the screws and bolts.

Nice Video. Couple of thoughts for version 2.0. Why not use a Noctua Fan so that it is quieter. Also why not put the heat into a thermal mass and then heat the room from the thermal mass so that you can get more heat into the room, and less heat going up the drain pipe. Also you might want to extend you exhaust pipe past the roof line so that you don't have a fire.

@k2mdk Жыл бұрын

@@goysb4jays566 I want to say good job and great idea of what you came up with already. Thermal Masses can be large and the can be small. I am just trying to find a way to capture as much heat as possible before sending it up the chimney. It could be something as simple as two ammo cans sitting on top of the heater filled with water or even half filled with water and another fan system running though that to take the heat and put it into the room. I was just a thought. But the bigger though for those people going out and buying the fan for this project is a Noctua fan. They are close to silent. Also please make sure you vent past your roof line. So many things can go wrong if you don't from prematurely aging of shingles to a fire breaking out. Also if it stick out at least a foot past your roof line it's harder to critters to climb in when you stove is off.

@SilvaDreams Жыл бұрын

1) Cut out the fan entirely. Just extend the air intake to the floor and let convection do all the work. Zero energy use. 2)Thermal mass heating is only good for when you cant' fuel the heater for long periods but burners like this will go for well past 8 hours with a full tank. Otherwise it just takes longer to put out the heat because you have to heat all that extra mass before it starts radiating any noticeable heat. 3)Make the intake for the firebox come from outside that way you aren't pulling in cold air from outside through all the cracks in your house.
