Find a 20mm to 1" shaft adaptor/bushing, get an aftermarket electric pto for a bobcat zero turn about $100ish. Mabey this will help you out.

Very cool project! I was looking into something like this a couple of years back for a wind mill. I think an MPPT solar controller would do an amazing job managing the power input after the bridge rectifier. Also you could setup a DIY backup gas generator with your motor. You may need to do some gear ratio thing to work with your motor.

The product that drips out of the end should be room temperature - or cooler than that!!!! If the product that comes out is warm to the touch, you need to have MORE condenser, yet

Cool project I like stuff like this as its a fun thought experiment 'could I do this if there was an apocalypse' Right now your collecting probably a mix of 'fuels' as your condensing tower starts off cool (naptha etc) and then gradually warms up (diesel or heavier) the longer you use it. What you need to get consistent grade of fuel is a condensing tower that starts at its condensing temp, before you start evaporating your used oil. As well as maintains that temp throughout use. It starts to get complicated. But if you run this current mix of fuels you might get preignition etc in a diesel engine. But fine for a diesel heater. If you want to get super complicated then you could separate the grades out by having multiple drains at different heights (again heated/cooled to their exact condensation temperature.) and bubblers like real oil refineries condensing towers have. Also I was thinking if there would be a way to power this by solar. But not a lot of electrical means to heat up large bodies of oil. Nichrome wire running through the oil? or a small steel dish that you heat up inductively to cook the oil.
@karlsoffroad8609Ай бұрын
