Rocket Mass Heater.....Glowing Barrel Top!
Просмотров 3 тыс.8 лет назад
Still experimental at this point, temporary burner and gravity feed hopper just trying different things, can run anywhere from 400f up to meltdown.
Best Rocket Mass Heater.........I've built yet.

Sorry for video quality, I am an amateur. This is a rocket mass heater experiment, still in experimental stage, I can run this anywhere from 400f top of barrel, to melt down 1200f or higher. Will upload another video of near melt down temps. Please ask any questions, or make suggestions. Thank you for viewing.
I llike that, I want to build one to go in my basement but I want the air intake to pull in outside air. I'm not seeing any designs like that.
I like the gravel thermal mass and the realistic building methods. This is doable and easy to remove if remodeling a house. Looks like you nailed this one and I like the pellet feed. I'd love to build one of these but it would probably just be supplemental heat for my wood stove because of burn time and not being home to tend it.
A pellet stove?
Красота!
The beloved barrel....
Can any One make a mass rocket stove with anything other then a barrel ... Lol
do you show your deaign on how to? I would like to make one for to heat my pool.
A most impressive setup. I assume you can block the pellet feed when you've charged the mass.
Would you make an update video? Are you still using the rocket stove?
Very slick and nice build. I have a basement that floods 6 inches every spring so this is not a option. I insulated my floor joists with R35 insulation. In your case you want the heat to migrate into your upstairs living space. In your case with your beautiful rocket stove thermal bench I would insulate the floor and the concrete walls. I want to build this up the mountain.
Would love to see that truck in action! Sounds amazing
Awesomesauce!!! Gitr done!
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing! Any updates? Getrdone-
Aaaaaesome! Well done ✔
seems very interesting as a system and I always thought that the call for fresh air for the fireplace should come from the outside .. but how is it that the fire does not go up in the pellet tank ??
Because te chimney system of a rocket stove/heater creates a strong draw. Once fired the flame is literally burning sideways in the burn chamber. It's being sucked away from the pellet hopper, not towards it.
Most mass heaters look like crap to me. This one actually looks great with the right angle brick mass. I like it a lot.
Great build! I'm curious what is your technique to control temperature of the burning surface. The rock bed is a nice touch as well.
Speak. Tell us more about it
I've noticed, is your heater built in a basement? If so, what affect is it having on the upstairs?
does the barrel top ever burn thru
Looks great! Bet it cuts the heating bill.
Do you know why they have a "color commentator" for football games on TV? That's why you need a voice dialog to help clarify "how to" in your clips, which now rate a 3 out of 10.
Very clean job. It looks great
Also interested in more videos on this build.
It looks like it is in your basement how well does the heat radiate to the rest of the house?
I noticed the chimney is further away from regular rocket mass stoves. Are they not supposed to be near the main combustion chamber to induce good convection currents?
I like the way you situated the mass portion of the system. It seems to have a semi-modular vibe seeing as how you could create more mass as you extend the second half of the exhaust piping potentially anywhere in the space. At least it appears to have that capability.
THAT is a REAL ROCKET sound . Perfect just needs a nice stainless steel barrel to accept the temperatures .
That's a really nice one
I am going to build one but I just dont trust a thin 55 gallon drum. The top (bottom of the drum) is deflecting that 800 degree flame. I know that the thinner drum will release heat quicker but if that thin sheet metal drum burns out it could be a disaster. I am going to use a 60 or 80 gallon air compressor tank that is easily 3 to 4 times thicker than a 55 gallon drum.
Didn't show step by step. This is just bragging.
Wow. That looks like a really nice one you have there. Any way of you sharing your design. Im really impressed. Nice work.
It's been two years since build, how many cords of wood under what outside conditions? Do you know your living space R-values? What has been rebuilt or revised etc? Where is heat being used in living space - above or next to this space? Thanks! WHY IS IT EVERYONE SHOWS A BUILD BUT DOES NOT REPORT AFTER USING WITH ANY DATA? DISAPPOINTED? A ROCKET STOVE DOES NOT GET MORE HEAT FROM WOOD THAN A REGULAR COMMERCIAL WOOD STOVE... ITS WHAT "YOU" DO WITH THE HEAT THAT COUNTS... UP THE EXHAUST PIPE OR RUN THE EXHAUST THROUGH A MASONRY MASS ONLY CAPTURES 0.2 BTU/LB IN MASONRY. ONLY 400 BTUs PER TON FOR MASONRY MEANS YOU NEED LOTS OF MASONRY AND SPACE... and don't forget you have to keep the masonry charged with heat else you have to start over burning hundreds of pounds of wood for several days to charge you mass back up with heat. iTS NOT WHAT ITS CRACKED UP TO BE... FUN DIY PROJECT BUT REMEMBER YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE. LOG SOME REAL WORLD USE DATA AND SHARE IT PLEASE. Second video same day is here: ruclips.net/video/FczF74qDvUE/видео.html
Great design...whats the feed system for the pellets, a 40lb bag lasts how long; i might think of pea gravel over the rock...tell us dimensions you used...once again, awesome job
love it except that UGLY ASS barrel
Man what a draw....!
Nice ...is that your final seat?
Didn't hear anything. Was that on purpose?
Please tell me how you build the pellet feed system? Thanks
Very nice, but I urge you to replace the galvanized pipe. It's toxic when heated, and you're certainly heating it!
with the temoerature RMH:s works around the toxicity of galvanized material is none. As they explain you can hold your hand on the exhaust, there's no way toxic material should be released from the pipes.
With RMH's, the firebrick-lined burn tunnel and heat riser (inside the drum) run between 1500-2000*F, burning ALL the smoke. As the flame leaves the top of the heat riser, into the drum, the expanding gasses cool down quite a bit. Bottom of drum/ ash plenum temps run around 400-500*F. As the clean exhaust gasses flow through the pipe inside the mass, the mass leaches out most of that heat. Exhaust stack temperatures usually are only 90-140*F, usually requiring that you insulate the pipe outside the building, just to keep the exhaust warm enough that it will continue to rise up and out. You can put your hand on the exhaust stack without burning yourself. I can usually put my face on the chimney outside, and sniffing the exhaust gasses coming out of the 'chimney' i can smell ZERO woodsmoke, just warm air. With a normal heat-wasting wood stove you would be right, using single-wall galvanized duct for the chimney would be suicide. But with these RMH's, it is perfectly safe. The metal would have to be glowing hot to outgass zinc fumes. www.permsteading.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=632
If the galvanization comes off (which it does; you can see it after awhile), the toxic elements have come off. By definition, that is what happened. If it came off, it came off. Into the air that people breathe. What's the big deal, assholes? Just use the proper stovepipe.
Kube Dog once the heat leaves the barrel it is not hot enough to burn the galvanized pipe. The exhaust after the barrel is only about the same heat as the exhaust of a forced hot air gas furnace and those are galvanized. The heat or the air passing through is mostly vapor. The regular steal stove pipe is then subject to rust and rot.
Kube Dog also the real people that have to be concerned about galvanized poisoning is welders. Welders ( I was a cert welder for 25 + years). Generally welders who when welding galvanized metal are subject to large amounts of these poisonous fumes. The affects of poisoning are flu like symptoms and you will feel like you have a very bad flu. However after a few days you do get better. Welders will drink milk to combat this sickness. There also are no long term complications form such poisoning. The whitish powder is the contaminant. It is the same substance lifeguards put on their noses. The minuscule amount of dust or fumes if any from where this guy uses galvanized pipe will hardly make anyone sick. So, please stop with the fear tactic and the name calling. This guy built a very nice heater.
Nice clean build, do those rocks radiate the heat well? I'm currently working on a similar RMH as well but in my research I found out that pea gravel works better. Apparently larger rocks acts like an insulator due to a lack of heat transfer. What have you found?
do you have a video on how you built it. the feeder is on interest
That is cool! Would love to have the plans for that!
Lovely dogs, God certainly knew what he was doing creating canines.
Poor dogs are really wanting to get up on the mass and enjoy the heat, but hate how uncomfortable the gravel is.
how long do you let it burn like this in order to charge the thermal mass for the day? how is the pellet feed controlled? great setup.
How fast does it burn through a full hopper of pellets?
A hopper full of pellets? Are you burning constipated rabbits? Uncool, dude.
Nice and neat, I'm looking forward to building mine similar to yours. How much vertical rise before the exhaust exits the house? Could you terminate it out the basement wall? Is it 6 or 8 inch? Thanks
You really need to run it up above the house roof...because, if the wind changes direction, and blows against the side of the house with the exhaust pipe sticking out, the wind pressure created as the air tries to flow around the house can create backflow in the stove, choking it. It's inconvienent to run the pipe up that far, but it is what it is.
One year later... you are still replying to peoples replies, but not really any more videoes or designs? Did you lose interest?
Sweet!
