Have you by chance ever seen an old army immersion heater? Similar tech... well done to re-purpose waste material sir...

No I haven't but I've heard several people comment on my heater that it's much like the old army heater

Thanks

What are the dangers? Other than the fact you're playing with fire IDK. Was planning on making a small stove for my van that could burn wood and used veggie oil.

Well like you said of course you're playing with burning a flammable substance so there's always danger involved. I guess some of the dangers that have been discussed on this channel are first of all in a van you could burn all the oxygen out or get carbon monoxide poisoning, other than that it's hard to regulate the flow of oil into the burner if the flow starts getting too fast you could overheat it or actually have a spill which would end up burning up your van. Those are probably the two most dangerous things I can think of.

The regulations are in place to reduce the human species carbon footprint. Carbon is a greenhouse gas and we have doubled the amount in the atmosphere.

@@johnsalisbury3768 You are well with the government script, aren't you? There are just as many scientists who claim carbon is a good thing because NOTHING on earth can grow WITHOUT IT. I am absolutely NOT sold on "carbon footprints" because it's known liars that created this general belief.

@@johnsalisbury3768 I gave a strong argument against your government spiel but yt wont allow it.

​@johnsalisbury3768 lol, carbon hasn't increased at all, all life is carbon based and just about everything else. We need it to be alive and it is at an optimum level for life on earth, the government convincing people that we need to reduce carbon and tax it is just taxing us for being alive and surviving...it's pure evil, this whole communist adjenda is sick and evil! Government needs to get out of our lives!!!

Thanks for the comment ☺️

Thanks 👍

I agree

Agreed 💯 percent

Sounds like a great idea. Thanks

Glad it helped

Morgan Adair: do you have any pictures or videos of that heating system? I would really like to see that in action.

@@loyalistperson8193 I do not but can describe it to a detail. The stove body was made of the oil pipeline casing. I got ahold of a short section they cut out cause of their tight regs. I was corroded on the inside but the grinding wheel revealed it was real sound metal... somewheres around one quarter inch and three eights inch thick and FREE. I used a cut off wheel on the doors and it was worth it cause its thick but it holds heat really well. I bought the metal for the top and bottom and cut it about a half inch larger to apply wrap if I used water heating system. I did have pictures for a long time but after I got hurt, I lost it to a person who kinda got that whole ball rolling in first place. Ugly story behind it. Its just like I explained it above for the most part. I had sand in the bottom till it built its own base of coals/ash and made my door quite a ways up so I could drop in just about anything that would burn. It was thick enough that you could of (I didn't) burnt tires in it cause it was so thick that it didn't warp but I wanted head space so smoke didn't come rolling out of it. I used thick pipe for the drafts and all the top piece for the chimney pipe to slide over and put a damper in it there. eight inch metalbestos chimney pipe you get at any fireplace store since I built big (it weighed a lot) and the drafts was from the metal shop cut offs. Same with the legs (three work best) and I found after using it, I never used the damper in the chimney. I knew I had to spend money for pipe for the stack but then found some damaged in freight deal (no warranty) and I wanted it to clear my pitched roof. It was the best stove I have ever had and I have had one of those rightway stoves and they are good but no match for this monster. I did wrap copper pipe and used common sense on height and size so use your if you do it. It did good heating water and worked like the model t engine and it circulated on ts own cause thats what water does but no restrictions or it will blow up like a still (made one of those too for a lark) That water tank was made for wood stoves and was all regular pipe made for water (steel) I wired thermostats in it to turn on fans and made my own vents. The size was three feet diameter, and four feet tall so I could do what I wanted. I am a mechanic welder (was, cripple now) so putting my ideas together wasn't a problem and my insurance didn't ask for brand. I used it up till I lost the place but that was three and a half years of the cleanest nice heat and I burnt anything cause of the long chimney pipe. I like the fact that if limbs fell out of tree then if they fit, they burnt. It is something I built, not buy so ask if any other questions

Thank you

Awesome

Thanks

Lol, didn't know, was it in the background of the video?

He does sound like him

Great

Get your welder out of the box! I didn't think these would work well either. But, they do fine with smaller jobs, and are very portable.

Awesome

Thanks

Thanks today we set up a ground blind and plan on doing a little deer hunting.

Are you using a Beckett gun-style burner with a Craig Kepner heater block ?

@@jesseparris6507 No clue what a craig kepner block is. Designed my own system from scratch using surplus materials and components I had laying around.

Where is the vid or detailed plans?

@@myrond3588 Just so you know, Eric Klat and I started this whole alternative wmo and wvo gun-style burner movement (for residential) back in 2000. We experimented with all types of pre-heaters and manual switches until we got to the advanced pre-heater block, PID, waste oil metering pump and SSR we use today in a ready-adaptable gun-style burner like the Beckett. (Our stuff was way more advanced than the commercial waste oil burners at the time with those set snap temp switches. I have a youtube forum, altfuelfurnace that was started back in 2001. The guy I mentioned before, Craig Kepner, a member of the forum, was able to start a business of supplying the complete heater block (with PID, heating element, syphon nozzle and temp sensor). ckburnersdotcom.

@@jesseparris6507 Sounds like a solid system. I haven't checked it out yet as my heating requirements are small here in Ok but I do have access to a large volume of 150wt synthetic. Any experience with using higher vis oil like that?

Thanks

Keep me posted

Yes sir the door has been fixed and I have also added more heat exchanger tubes will be making a video soon. Thanks

If you do be careful, they are dangerous in many way s

+Don Smith thanks for the reply.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Your welcome and thanks

Thanks, defiantly in my too do plans. Never enough time in the day.

I'm glad you could use some of the ideas, just be careful when burning oil. I never get out of site when using it

Check out my new video on the old heater I made several improvements including the door seal. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrh3o8mF1bXIop8.html

Thanks

@@seamanjive I have a military diesel heater. Gotta go get it fired up this week :-)

Thanks good luck

It is done in the new video. Thanks

Cool.

kde is the best

Work Works I get what you’re saying but how does the fire go out if it’s still being fueled

Great idea

Be careful

Yes! I was really baffled by the horizontal tubes considering all the other back-pocket engineering on this. Made no sense to me. Plus, angled natural draft pipes could be arranged in a spiral which would maximize heat exchanger efficiency by swirling the post-combustion gasses

Very cool!

That is some very cool information. Thanks

I have been thinking about replacing the PEX line with copper just so that I could wrap it around the heat chamber and thin the oil down and preheat it. But as far as the pex melting causing a problem, the top of the tank really doesn't get that hot at the highest maybe 400° and then the PEX line is about 10 inches away from the tank so it really doesn't get that hot. Good luck with your build just be very careful oil is extremely dangerous to burn. Thanks👍

Thanks I'm working on a new video with several modifications I have done to it. Subscribe and it will notify you when the video is uploaded

Thanks

Thanks

I will get you those measurements and a drawing. Sorry for the late response and it's over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit here now so I don't look at the heater very much

Randy's DIY could u send me all the measurements and stuff to please

@@randysdiy2102 wouldn't it make more output if you added a forced air induction on that

Absolutely, but I was after a no electricity heater

Sorry, I added a measurement video shortly after your question was asked

The hot water tank has worked a lot better than I expected. After reinforcing the door area.

@@randysdiy2102 That is awesome. I do a lot of side work at home, making this will be a breeze. Thank You John 60107 USA.

Be careful burning oil is dangerous

That sounds awesome

This can also cause more soot build-up and a bigger pain in the but to clean. No argument on the better efficient though.

@@vhateverlie judging by temperatures soot might burn away its self....

@@infinitewars6373 not if, like I said, you add more heat exchangers which lowers the exhaust temp down to a possible level of soot deposition.

number one with the temps in chamber where oil burns all soot will burn off if you go to chimney and look in there will be no black smoke etc..... because the temperatures in the chamber reach very high meaning it all burns off, right in chamber, number two adding extra pipes will allow to extract more heat but will hardly affect temperature of the heat exchanger i have similar one of these and have played about..... unless you use very efficient loud fan.....

😂

Thanks 👍

@@biggybiggy84 See my comment above it suggests doing the top half of the tank as a Rocket Stove is done.. This would put the exiting chimney half way down the unit capturing more Btu's in the unit because heat rises while the chimney can still draw in a downward motion. Could reduce his chimney temps maybe 100F in the process this would allow him to build a smaller unit and collect the same amount of Btu's on the same or less fuel.

Lol thanks

Just be careful burning oil is very dangerous

Yes thanks, a little sniffle

That's from breathing that burning oil indoors.🤢

I have a video on my channel that shows the smoke output. It is pretty clean very small amount of smoke output, more of a haze.

And if you ask for jam w/that sammich, it'll fuck them up! Lol

Many thanks 👍
