This video has to be my favorite one of all, especially during the ignition and burning phase. The oil and air mix easily and then the square tubing facilitates the flame via a Venturi effect. I love the howling noise it makes too.

Now this is something that you could use to make an oil burner heated deep fryer with, mount the cooker far enough away from the dragon-breath side and it would be able to work just fine. Use old oil to heat new oil to cook in that will, over time, become used, which would then be burned to heat new oil... The circle of FIRE... Glad your uploading videos again.

Sitting here I was looking for a lighter for my pipe. I see that you've found a pipe for your lighter! Brilliant, mate. Great video!

I've just built one of these. Not the exact same thing but same theory. Works like a charm. Within an hour of getting it finally assembled I was melting aluminum. I think I used about 4 gallons of used engine oil in an hour. It's not very demanding on my air compressor. I'm using 3/16" lines because that's what I had laying around. I think if I want to go hotter I have to go with bigger lines. Awesome build and awesome video. Thank you for sharing this.

“Click the like button whether you like it or not” love your attitude Aussie your great!

Hey me and my friend used your instructions and made a oil burner in this style and it works great! We built our aluminium furnace by stacking broken bricks in a circle inside a old oil barrel and filling the gaps in each layer with mud. Yes normal mud and letting it dry. Our pipe is only 1 meter long and we use a blow torch to ignite the oil then it burns great. I love your simple methodology no fuss. Thanks for your videos and Hello from South Africa

huge thanks for uploading this video, been put off building my own spray type nozzle furnace for melting cast iron as all the ones i have seen use expensive fiddly bought in ones with loads of needle control valves for everything.i can see why you would want loads of control and the ease of buying in a valve but i couldn't see the simpler way to build one and now i can. many thanks again, keep up the good work !

It’s 7 years later and still think it’s very cool.

Take a round steal tub wrap copper capillary tubes around it with water running through it. Feed perlite heat sink barrels to keep your water hot and lay heart hose in the floor of your home to heat it. You could produce a steady electric current with heat transducers has well to run your home.

Excellent Tutorial Video and also about the cheapest burner I have seen so far. I wish I had watched you Tube years ago, All the info I have collected for people like yourself has served me well. Thanx. Tom Ayr Scotland.

I love your enthusiasm! I'll put my hubby right on building one of these since he always has jugs of waste oil sitting around!

Missed you. Got a farm soy exrusion plant running on your ideas (dryer, virgin oil degummer, pre extrusión heater, etc). Thank you again. Now working on your WI system on our tractors running 50% veggie oil.

I appreciate your straight and forward Miss on something and keeping it simple a lot of people make things complicated you have shown with simpleness Effectiveness can be achieved great video

Well I have built several variations ,but yours is by far the easiest , Cheers ,from Alberta Canada

From all the oil burner desings i have tried, this is definitely the best, it's a very simple desing, it's adjustable and it's so easy to make. what i do have to say though is that the pipe or tube cannot have a taper or conical shape at the end. Thank you for sharing this simple desing, and showing us how it should be done!

Glad I finally found this channel. I've recently moved my shop to a bigger building and the temps are close to 0° here in northern Arkansas. Watched many videos but yours are the best and easier to understand

For better results, try to move the nozzle a little bit inside the tube. This creates a much stronger draft and helps to stabilize the flame.

That's really got a nice spray pattern i wasn't quite expecting that. I think not relying on venturi to suck up the oil makes this much simpler than some spray burners. Looks very nice.

I have used a paint spray gun and it works just like that. You made a huge paint spray gun! Good job!

Buzz bombs yeah. *chuckles* My first thought when that fired up was, that's a simple pulse jet engine.

Love your work! I've built my foundry around your oil burner design. I use waste oil from autos. It's freaking awesome and hot as h-ll. I do use a bounce house blower instead of my compressor.

Well Mate you stole my thunder near the end, I was going to remark (and I probably still am but who gives a toss) that if this was audio only I would swear it was a Buzz Bomb over London. Don't stop what you're doing Mate, It's brilliant.

I love it mate! you are a legend!! I have lots of waste engine oil a old 45 gallon drum and loads of scrap metal. keep em coming you ripper!!

It sounds like a pissed off bumble bee. Love it.

You come up with so cool oil burners. I think I will try this one. Thanks for posting!

I am impressed with the beauty of simplicity of your designs. Less is usually better I have learned over time. I just subscribed because of this. Happy new year to you and yours.

You built a simple version of a carburetor.......f@$!ing brillant! Reminds me of small engine class 25 yrs ago. We built something similar out of coke bottles and drinking straws. Love the vids i laugh my ass off everytime i watch. Hope the neighbors are well. Live free

Excellent way to describe a very efficient and economic solution for saving money in heating bills ! well done and keep the good work ongoing ... all the best mate and thank you the information !

I love your safety tips. I too am all for natural selection. Remove ALL warning labels.

Hi Oil Burner, I like the very simple principle the burner works on, especially the ultra clean burn. The only problem I see when used as a heater in the workshop is the carbon dioxide / Carbon Monoxide, both of which are the products of burning oil. These are heavier than air and can cause suffercation without any ventilation. An exhaust pipe would be required - to overcome the problem - and would need to be quite long to extract all the heat output via the walls of the exhaust pipe. Still a great idea and I will check just how much of the usable heat actually goes up the chimney so to speak. As a pensioner I need it to be ultra efficient as I like to get away from all the rubbish on TV during the winter months and do a bit of metal bashing in a warm workshop. Keep up the experiments and the inovation, It blows the mind ...literally. I must try an extra long exhaust pipe, at a guess I would think about 25-30 feet and see if the natural draft of that long a pipe would still give an efficient burn without having to use a compressor. Not sure of the oil flow rate as the air pressure into the tank would have to come from a point inside the exhaust pipe( venturi effect). It's worth thinking about. Regards to you and yours MoK

I like that if the power to your compressor goes out, the pressure and fuel and flame will to. Convenient and safe.

Love this guys "SAFETY TIPS!"

Welcome Back, OB!!!! I was getting worried about you.. Glad to see you were just screwing around in another direction.. Sounds like the compressor was running the entire time. I'm sure many will find a use for this, but I still like the old burners you have developed.. I think much less electrical power being used with the old.. Still lots of fun!!! Glad you posted up, buddy!! ;)

I'm back in 23, and this is better than ever.

The minute that burner lite I thought of ww two buzz bombs , weird how it sounds so similar

Welcome back. Been missing my safety tips. Me, I would weld some metal mesh to that baby so I can melt metal and cook dinner at the same time.

Great work-nice and simple. Not sure how I’m going to convince the missus that we need one of these in the lounge room, not that poofy slow combustion wood heater. This looks like like much more fun.

just excelent idea. Good for every fuel. I do not need so long flame so I will bend a pipe around , weld it to close the end and drill a 10-20 or so holes at the top. That way I have a circular burner. I will test how it works.this week, reg Jack

Thanks for the info. This is the best demonstration of the concept. Simple air fuel vaporized with ignition .in a chamber with exhaust flow.- and Adjustable .

5:40 I did click the like button even and there is nothing to unlike about this fantastic project. Keep up the good work.

I'm wondering if a continous arcing spark plug would ignite used motor oil and air mixture or just foul it out. I guess I'll find out. I have a woodburning stove made from a 55 gallon drum but I've grown too old and crippled to cut firewood. I'm thinking that this would work great in the barrel. I've got lots of old motor oil that is clean of any trash and debris, aside from the carbon and metalic particulates in used motor oil. I picked up about (60) 2gallon containers of used motor oil about three years ago. At the time I had no idea what I needed all that used oil for, I just knew I needed it. Thank you, you answered the question of why I needed the old oil and more impotantly solved my issue of heating my shop. By the way, if you have to tell someone not to look down the end that the flame exhausts from, you wasted your breath. They may heed your advise not to place their eye over a pipe belching fire like a military flamethrower but they'll find another way to either get hurt or burn down their home. It's called Natural Selection and the fact that there are so many blithering idiots surviving until adulthood these days is a direct consequence of mankind circumventing Natural Selection.

Hey i built one of your oil burner's and it works great

As my company's elfen saftey rep if you know your machines they won't turn nasty all of a sudden. You'll know them inside out and they won't rip your insides out as I always say. Treat them with respect and know exactly what they do and you won't go wrong.

Very clean burn, and very environmental friendly because it uses vegetable oil.

good to see you alive and well. safety tip of the day... do not eat beans and use the farts as pressured air. it will go in melt down.

I love the simple design and the huge orange flames!!

You are a genius,so simple to build from scrap yet so functional.I want to build something like this for heating my house,old engine oil will be used as fuel. I have central heating system with wather circulating trough cast iron radiators.Only one question can combustion chamber be shorter and wider I need it to fit in central heating wood/coal furnace.Thanks for great ideas You are only one who explained every detail about building, keep up the good work. Almost forgot any ideas about automated ignition of the burner(glowplug from diesel engine etc.)

You are brilliant. I've duplicated several of your experiments part for part with identical results. Im an automotive technician with my own shop and alot of used oil. Ive thought about making a large version of this type but then I thought how small can this burner be made and still function? That is my current project. Love your videos!

Thanks for uploading an useful topic to the world of you tubers. God bless you 😉👍🏻

Thanks for the idéa, I have test it but with my own idea. I used copper pipe to create a spraygun so it create a vacuum that sucks the fuel in to the burner and it works just great. But oil burns not clean untill the burner is hot and diesel burns much cleaner. Thanks Oil burner

Primitive-Effective-and Brutal...!Perfect!

I like it! I need a person like you in my backyard!

My first thought is... you've basically built a pressure pot style spray painter, with your burner nozzle instead of a paint sprayer gun. Other than it being a little too small, I could literally use a cheap paint sprayer I recently purchased at harbor freight instead of building the tank, and make a nozzle the way you did for the actual burner nozzle. Love the simplicity, looks awesome!

pressurizing to atomize the fuel burns hotter and cleaner than those drip feed systems. Many years ago I built a small furnace for my huge shop. I mainly burnt oil and coolant mixed and a 55 gal drum would last 4-5 months on 16 hr days.

wow, this will be a great burner for a small pottery kiln.

That's cool 👍 you should try a variant of this but instead of pressurizing the fuel oil itself, simply introduce it into the stream of air via a venturi, just a sharp angle "Y" tube tapped into the air line just before the orifice, the air moving through the "Y" will automatically draw the fuel into the air. The fire can stay continuously running and the tank will not need depressurization upon refuelling, will use less air and fuel and improve overall adjustability and efficiency. 👍

I love Fish and Chips. Im really enjoying your video's.

great stuff. good to see you back, makes me want to finish my one. Still trying to put a second hole in my gas bottle!

Great teacher. Thanks for the show.

I'm glad you're back I was afraid the safetycrats had gotten you.

i have been experimenting with waste oil burners and for what its worth I have found that 8 to 15 psi gives best results depending on how fine a nozzle you create. Also the air supply from a compressor which is constant is best. To ignite the oil it must be pre heated to 80 degrees c or 175 F and it will then ignite with a standard burner ignitor.

I bet if it has a few bends in the pipe you'd get a more intense gasification, but it looks great, add big heat plate or box to that end it would give more heating surface area. It looks cool too.

I used to meddle with burning oils year ago. Must revisit it.

Dear this is great.. can I add one thing: if you make the out let pipe longer and twest it . so the end burner nosel will be before the twesting pipe . this will give you small partcle if oil that it will burn faster. Thans

I love it how much more easy can you get. Love your videos keep them coming. Have a happy new year

Wow! Thanks David! Might have to rework that heater from last year. This looks much better, as to control. Hope you are having a great spring. Al

I'm gunna have a go at making one of these. I have 2 furnaces with the kwiky oil burner by David D that both work well, but yours is simpler again and doesn't require any machining. I might experiment a little and see if some form of nozzle works on the end. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the design though.

Very simple build im sure with the right size setup it can heat up a steam boiler to run a good size engine

I did comment the ww2 thing before you said it so I deleted it but what a demonstration....Cheers mate.

Yea!!!!...havent seen your videos in a long time...your my favorite pyro

OUTSTANDING BURNER

At an equipment rental store I worked at back in the 80's, an egghead came in wanting to rent a frickin push mower. But just renting it, a gallon of 2 stroke gas/oil mix came with it, the egghead wanted to know how many square feet could it cut on a gallon of fuel, at half throttle, then full throttle, if the grass is thin or thick, if the grass is tall or short, wet or dry, and on and on and on. After about 30 minutes of his goofy sh*t I said, "look dude, you cut grass until it runs out, then you refuel it and start mowing again. Just keep repeating those steps and you'll be through cutting your f-ing grass a lot sooner than all the time you've wasted with all your questions. He finally STFU and took the mower and a full gallon of mixed fuel. It wasn't twenty minutes later and here he comes. I'm thinking, oh sh^t, what does he want now." Unbelievably he was through cutting his grass and hadn't used but maybe 1/4 of the fuel that was in the lawn mower tank. He hadn't used a drop from the gallon can I sent with him. That just pissed me off that much more. All that bull-sh*t for cutting a lawn that didn't take over ten minutes. I developed a very strong urge to crack and scramble the egghead's brains all over the show-room floor. But at least he returned the full gallon of mixed fuel, unlike most of my black clientel. They would rent a mower, bring it back 15 minutes later and swear up & down on a hundred bibles that they used the full gallon of fuel, in the mower. The smoke billowing out of their automobile exhausts told a different story. I hope they enjoyed their free gallon of gas/oil two stroke fuel, especially after it destroyed the catalytic converter on their cars. Those bunch of upright & honest Ididnadonuffins never failed to just have me rolling with laughter when they left leaving a huge trail of smoke behind them.

That's a good job of tinkering !

You forgot to toast me a marshmallow. Yum, LOL. That was a great burner. You are so creative. Merry Christmas my friend .E :)

Maybe I'm missing something? I see your atomizer T fitting and I see your tank plumbing but I don't see how the one connects to the latter. Assuming you run the fuel tank line to the lower branch of the atomizer, is your air-line from the tank running to the other horizontal branch? That would mean your compressor is charging the tank AND driving the atomizer. It would make sense, but just a one page sketch would be helpful. Very simple, unique, love it.

I have never seen anything like this before! thanks for the share and i do think you are correct about the sound is very close to that of an old aviation radial engine.

Cheers Mate from John. I now have what I need to know to build my own furnace.

Lovely work. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like what I would imagine a old WW2 V1 rocket would sound like

You should offer your services and show up to the hoarders program on TV

Love the health a safety tip! Im going to try this as seems the easiest version yet!

Great low tech simplicity, but great engineering!...I didn't know they had Hill-Billies in England or Australia,( wherever your accent is from)... I wonder if I could melt bronze in my furnace with this blower spray contraption, LP is pretty expensive. Thanks for sharing "Mate"

Nice.. how about a double 45 degree bend to a vertical chimney and you can avoid all the back flames and get a good suction effect from the vertical segment too

I clicked the like button as I was told.

very nice, simple to do congrats

@14:12 Today's safety tip: "It will give you a black eye and not for the normal reason of someone punching you out for being a moron." ;-)

work in garage. good idea for using mixed fuel. dieael/petrol mix.sometimes customers put wrong fuel. Now have use for it.

I clicked the like button wether I liked it or not

I think it doesnt get enough air into the metal pipe. Maybe if you drill a few holes parallel with pipe helps to reduce the amount of oil and maybe have even more flame and heat produced.It just looks too little the amount of air it gets in comparison with oil. If you see how a oil burner works for home heating it has usually 0.75 jet while an electric blower pressing huge amounts of air.

Looks + sounds like a pulse jet

Simple things are best. Thanks 😊

I just subscribed to your channel, I love your safety tips they are all so true !!!!!

I don't know why someone with a down under acent would use mostly imperial measuer but, I sure do like it.

Err, so how much oil does this set-up actually use per hour?(JUST JOKING!)

i have a few things im interested in by the looks of it about 30 to 40 cm down seems to be the hot spot could you cut it off there and make a hotter flame or would it burn your pipe out quicker and if you put one of your big blowers in your fuel end would it create a hotter flame

Nice, a simple carburettor.. Now dig up your ol lady's 15 foot washing line pole for a longer exhaust tube. 👍🏼

This is beginning to give me some ideas! I have a Hot Tub which uses quite a lit if firewood. I'm not getting any younger (just turned 60) and cutting all that wood is knackering me, and there aren't an awful lot of firewood trees left.... Now this should be able to do the job admirably! I have just a few questions... Will this run with a downward pointing tube, with the nozzle at the top and the flames coming out of the bottom? my boilr in the hot tub is just a big U shaped tube submerged low down in the water. The fire chamber is about a foot wide, horizontal, fed by a vertical lead in tube of the same size, welded together at a mitred corner. The chimney is at the opposite end of the fire tube, and about half the diameter, so if i could get me a fire tube like yours, only probably cast iron and with a 90 degree bend at the end, pointing the fire towards the chimney end, I think I can make this work. The other question was to clear up something I'm not quite clear about... the tube/hose carrying the fuel out of the 'tank' towards the nozzle.... this is with the fuel being pushed by air pressure?? Then the fuel is sort of atomised by the venturi effect when it comes up to more passing air at the TEE piece?? have I got that right?

Nice idea and very simple. Thank you.

the sound look like pulse jet. I love it.

Absolutely brilliant! Cheers from Broken Hill...
