    • @jerrodlopes186
      @jerrodlopes186 Год назад +6

      I've been working on it for a long time. All I've come up with is using a small camp stove and running the stovepipe out a window. I used to install the real ones for a living. I've got a wonderful little woodburner that I bought new for less than $300 US. Enough stovepipe and a damper would run you maybe $75-100 more. You'd need to purchase a purpose made fireback and hearth or produce the same with available materials (think stone slabs/concrete wall backing...). There's just no real cheap and safe way to burn wood. PS the trick to not getting smoke is to light a paper log or some such thing and hold it up in the flue for a good thirty seconds before lighting the stove in order to warm up the flue and start a good draft going. Voila! No smoke. Oh, and use only very dry seasoned wood.

There is fancy engineering with glass which would allow light to pass to solar. I am itching to try it but have a lot going on in my life. So if you want to look at that go for it.

    This guys RUclips channel should be seen by every citicen of Ukraine. They have dire need for some alternative heating at the moment. I like 1700 or 1702 the heater with carbon felt and vegetable oil. This one here is better for the really flammable stuff like alcohol or petrol. I think I will try it with some denatured alcohol, foam from christmas arrangement and cooper mesh. I think I will also try one really small 3-4 cm with carbon felt instead of foam and I hope that it´s not to hot and melt the cooper mesh.

    @mikefozard4057 Год назад

    Inspiring video as always!
    I made a close approximation of this, except my reservoir section was filled with ceramic fibre topped with a disc of carbon felt then the stainless mesh. The initial burn was strong but controlled, presumably by the mesh. It then died down to a low blue flame for the majority of the rest of the burn. Not ideal for my use case (a reasonably decorative room heater), perhaps my can was too tall and narrow for efficient wicking. Love the safety flame concept but the search goes on for my consistent controlled burn.

    I added a "catalytic copper wick ", I found by putting an upright tube of copper mesh on the safety screen (scaled like a Bday cake) after it heated up it attracted the flame and changed the shape and colour of it to like a really really deep gloomy orange lantern light plus when the flame is blown out the copper/ethanol catalytic reaction kept it glowing and put it into a standby/economy heat mode . So for times say when your solo camping in the cold or in a car for the winter, yep, no flame.....
