Not my area of expertise in engineering (non compressible liquids are fun, compressible gases are scary to me), but I'd hazard a guess and say you're air velocity is too high. You want to increase your volumetric flow rate to get more oxygen, but at the same time you don't want to increase velocity much at all. You're new fan is pushing more air, but without a change in area, it's got to go faster through the pipe. Increase the area (larger pipe size) and you'll get the same volume/time but it doesn't have to move as fast and it might not extinguish your flame. That being said, without changing the nozzles in the forge, I'm not sure how you'd get a lower velocity entering the forge, if the nozzles don't change either. Maybe it's a pressure thing? Again, gases aren't my thing. I barely had a handle on my fluids class and we only looked at water and oil.
I think you hit the nail. Going from a 4' pump discharge to a 2 1/2" or 3" steel pipe, he has made his own venturi which is what you said. He has speeded up the air which gives more pressure. Alec, if you have read this far, take off all the iron pipe and use 4' pvc or metal furnace pipe from the blower to the forge. If still too much air, install a 4' slide gate from a dust collection system to regulate the amount of air.
@@firnatine529 They are usually stamped, with a special type writer. The old ones were done by hand (actually typing it into it) and the new ones are more digital, put everything in and basically hit enter and it does it for you. So I think that would be a better/ cooler/ more traditional way
You're increase in CFM has increased the velocity of the air in the pipe, if you increase the diameter the air will slow down. Flowrate(in3/s)=velocity(in/s) x area(in2).
I think that’s half the solution but combine that with where the gas mixes in the system before an elbow and the pressure produced by that blower may very well be defeating the pressure of the gas. Figure every inch of H2O produced by the blower reduces the gas by the same inch and when only running approx 7” WC, 2” produced by the blower is around 27% gas lost
@@user-qy8kw4cn2s he needs a better way to regulate his air speed to me it seems that setup worked fine for propane but on natural gas it doesn't have the gas density to air right and his air flow is so high he is literally blowing out the candle.
I'm loving it being back to seeing you work. It was starting to get boring on the channel but the lock down has got you being imaginative and creative again. Keep up the good work :)
Nice work with Yogo! And thanks for sharing. It's great to see some good dog training strategies shared. Few people probably take that level of consideration for their dogs If you get bored, you should sew a treat pouch you can wear on your hip for training. Maybe even use leather.
I m glad that you took my advice about the excessive noise to your dog and I really appreciate the fact that you went out of your way to be able to work near your dog
Hey! A professional dog trainer here! i have to say, your technique is perfect. Everything from the touch command and free shaping into putting the muffs on, to adding distance gradually, and even even the hand signals were perfect. I am very impressed! Wouldn't have done it any different myself.
awwwwwww that's so sweet that you're using positive reinforcement training to get her used to the hearing protection, and she is such an absolutely adorable good good girl. i love her
Alec, My two cents worth: It appears that the piping size is correct since it is what came with the burner. So, calling on my experiences with cooking ovens and industrial boilers, it sure looks to me like your gas pressure is low and cannot overcome the increased static pressure in the piping to the burner. This back pressure is caused by the burner holes themselves and not the piping leading to the burner. A higher pressure blower only makes this worse. Can you increase the gas pressure at the gas regulator to try this theory out?
It did really look like the fuel/air mix was way too lean, and natural gas lines aren't really that high pressure, so it could well be the air pressure in the pipe gets high enough to basically shut off most of the gas flow. But also, if it seems the ribbon burner only burns partially, it could also be clogged (which would exacerbate the issue.
I think this is basically correct. I’m not sure what he would do to fix it without changing the whole piping. He probably needs to find a way to dampen that fan a bit more and see if it gets close.
Finally someone with the correct answer. As an engineer I can assure you, that the problem is the ribbon burner itself. Because natural gas has such a low pressure you have to lower the overall resistance for the airflow. Beginning at the WORST component in terms of resistance. And that is the matrix of the ribbon burner! Enlarge these and you'll get more volume with the right mix. Problem solved!
Spent almost my entire week in the hospital with aspiration pneumonia as a result of a complication after surgery, this video just made my whole week 100% better. Love watching Alec and Will and Yogo of course!!!
I have spent the last 3 days cleaning my workshop, sorting through material and getting rid of useless junk. I hear you... I was postponing this for the past month.
This was one of those videos that reminded me of how far I have to go when it comes to power hammer skill. Seeing how you break down stock to do make pre-forms is a beautiful thing to watch.
You need to add a little of Bernoulli's principle to the forge. When it comes into the forge widen the pipe (7 degrees would be optimal) to slow down the air flow but you will still have the same mass of air. It will allow the air and gas to mix better to give you a better flame.
As one who does a lot of niche programming work, it's super interesting to me how anyone approaches the process of making their own tools, and it's never as enlightening as when I when I watch woodworkers, metal shopists, and blacksmiths making literal tools. Truly inspiring, Alec. also, yogo is SUCH A GOOD DOG
AND he trains the dog. Skillfully and cheerfully. Plus all that FUN with the camera!! Hikes, camping, etc. Fund drives. Alec Steele is an all-around dude! I'm sure, one day, his daughter will be forging right alongside.
The issue with the forge/ new blower might be that the air is moving too fast, and basically blowing the fire out. That would explain the unstable fire, the fire being shot out against the far wall, and also why only half the brick is burning, the gas/air gets pushed out the front before it has a chance to spread out, or potentially the Bernoulli effect creating a vacuum and pulling air in through the other holes.
yep, looks like your pipe for the air is too small in diameter and the resulting air velocity is too high. Also the mixing of the gas may be an issue like if the stream gas doesn't have the time to mix with the air properly. To increase mixing you may stick something in the pipe to create turbulence , some sort of blade/propeller. Good Luck
@consistency 14 why are you mad? He's struggling with a fluid dynamics/ chemical reaction problem. Given the relatively high velocity of air/gas, and the relatively low pressure, it's very possible that the Bernoulli principle is causing some of the issues, especially when he said it's not how he expected it to look, which means that something unintuitive is going on. If you think I'm showing off by saying "Bernoulli principle", that's not the case, I'm using the name of a phenomenon to reference that very important but sometimes counter-intuitive phenomenon.
Oh my, when you started painting that treadle, my heart just stopped for a second. Oh and maybe you could make some reliëf on the steel. Just like chequered plate.
I like that he commented on how nice the paint job was then later in the video he does a close up with it and its only half painted and all runny on the bottom with over spray everywhere.
In the next episode, Alec teaches Yogo how to press the treadle when he wants to use the power hammer. I was going to suggest teaching her how to hand sand, but then Will would be out of a job.
I really loved watching you just work and focus on it then explain what you did afterwards I could tell you where way more focused on the task at hand and I bet way more efficient. I would like to see more videos like this.
I was listening to all the strokes of the power hammer and was pleased when you reported no banging. Man that thing can move some metal. Glad to see you make some swages and such.
Such a good dog and such a great master, good on you for keeping her safe and for doing it in such a positive way. So many people would just slap em on her and call it a day, but you made it a good thing for her.
Hey Alec- I've got almost the exact same blower on mine. I rigged it into a piece of PVC with a large ball valve which I dial back about 80% to meter the air flow. Works like a charm!
I'm going to take a guess and say the fluid velocity is too high for the gas and air to mix and burn properly. I think you might need a bigger ribbon burner
I guess Alec doesn't have anything forging at home because he has a big workshop. Will used to forge at home before Alec moved and they threw together their bussinesses. So Will still has his stuff at home.
There is absolutely nothing better in the world than watching a master get in the zone. Watching you work an entire part through like that is fantastic. I learn a stupid amount from watching you move metal, and you get to have a fantastic time moving metal. Win Win. No, no, like REALLY moving metal. Who the hell moves that well with a 300 lb hammer next to their head. Amazing. Also, yep, the cutest of puppers
Is it possible that at your altitude, an oxygen separator feeding into the intake of the fan would be more useful than increasing the overall volume of air getting in...at least beyond a certain point? Recognising of course that at the moment sourcing an oxygen separator for a non-medical purpose might not be the most prudent...
I feel bad for the new blacksmith they hired. He went through the whole process just to not be able to work for several weeks due to circumstances completely out of his control. Hopefully we’ll be able to see more of him in the future!
Beautiful dog. Very impressive on how you go about and make the tools you need instead of going on line and buying them. They mean much more to you knowing that you made them with your own hands. I know how that feels because when I was in school as a lad I made a tack hammer and punch in shop class (almost 50 yrs ago) and still have and use them in my workshop. Stay safe!
NEVER, never apologise for commiting to your art, to your passion, to your work. As for many of us, will enjoy any lenght of a video about you making stuff. Even more, if its done with the passion you have.
When half the bolts are SAE and the rest are metric sometimes its just easier to grab the adjustable even if they end up rounding the corners of the bolt. I'd be willing to bet there aren't any metric bolts on that power hammer.
@@drthmik Yeah, and? It's also the name of a very famous drink. (admittedly that drink gets it's name from once having Cocaine in it, but whatever. Can't have everything. XD) I mean, does the sentence 'you wanna get some coke?' also sound suspicious to you? ;p

Has anyone thought of just drilling out the holes in the burner to see if they are not partially clogged?

Figure every inch of H2O produced by the blower reduces the gas by the same inch and when only running approx 7” WC, 2” produced by the blower is around 27% gas lost
My 2 cents is to smooth out the gas flow. Get rid of the 90 and replace it with a couple of 45s.
He could also do that by running an extension pipe out of the shop to relocate the noise or he could use a dimmer for some sort of speed control.

welcome to blacksmithing!
And then use the tool to forge a forge, and then the forge to forge a tool for the forge forge...

The issue with the forge/ new blower might be that the air is moving too fast, and basically blowing the fire out. That would explain the unstable fire, the fire being shot out against the far wall, and also why only half the brick is burning, the gas/air gets pushed out the front before it has a chance to spread out, or potentially the Bernoulli effect creating a vacuum and pulling air in through the other holes.
A VARIAC would allow him to decrease the speed of the fan by adjusting the voltage downwards causing the fan to spin more slowly.
That is what I was wondering. Too much air velocity.
yep, looks like your pipe for the air is too small in diameter and the resulting air velocity is too high. Also the mixing of the gas may be an issue like if the stream gas doesn't have the time to mix with the air properly. To increase mixing you may stick something in the pipe to create turbulence , some sort of blade/propeller. Good Luck
That was my first thought too, that the gas mix is moving out faster than the flame front. But I don't know enough about these things to say for sure

Just out of curiousity can you find out what type of gas the big forge was run off, you might have the wrong jet set up.
yeah i was thinking that there is an incorrect mixture of gas, or that the gas is not mixing with the air properly.
Hey Alec- I've got almost the exact same blower on mine. I rigged it into a piece of PVC with a large ball valve which I dial back about 80% to meter the air flow. Works like a charm!

My call is that he said it 19 times, once at the beginning, 18 times during the training.
You’re brilliant with that pretty pupper, well done. How people treat animals usually reflects their personality
I'm going to take a guess and say the fluid velocity is too high for the gas and air to mix and burn properly. I think you might need a bigger ribbon burner

I guess Alec doesn't have anything forging at home because he has a big workshop. Will used to forge at home before Alec moved and they threw together their bussinesses. So Will still has his stuff at home.
So with Alec in the main shop and will at home its a little less Steele vs stelter and a little more of a Steele vs shelter.

These are my favorite types of videos from you guys.
Can we get some more raw forging noises. That section with the noise of the hammer and steel I loved it.
Nice to see Alec go back to his old youtube style, talk a little, show the work, and make tools.
I didn't realise training dogs by impersonating Michael McIntyre would work so well
NEVER, never apologise for commiting to your art, to your passion, to your work. As for many of us, will enjoy any lenght of a video about you making stuff. Even more, if its done with the passion you have.
All the tools in the shop, but you undo the bolts with an adjustable 😭😭
When half the bolts are SAE and the rest are metric sometimes its just easier to grab the adjustable even if they end up rounding the corners of the bolt. I'd be willing to bet there aren't any metric bolts on that power hammer.
gary bower that’s a good point, just breaks my heart to see a bolt being removed with an adjustment 😂😂
With all the static holds, heavy clumps of steel, hammering and all in all general work; I bet Alec has one helluva handshake.
4:14 Ah yes. The shin-buster 9000
8:07 I love the timing of the music to the power hammer. It's one of my favorite bits!
LITERALLY NO ONE:
Me:Alec's puffy hair
Your positive view makes me happy keep on the good work .
Wait a minute! Did I just see someone use duct tape to tape ducting?! No one has ever used duct tape on what it's meant for.
*snicker* And here I though it was 200 mile an hour tape he was using there... XD
@@warriormaiden9829 Cheeky bugger.
Apparently duck tape was designed by the military for amphibious use. Ducts actually use aluminiuminized tape
S Harris
I’ve seen both, but the adhesive on metal tape is better, in my experience.
@@scottmichaelharris Never heard of "Duck" tape.
It's really good to see you working steel again. I realize as a business owner it gets increasingly difficult to find the time.
Felt strange when I first heard him say "burn coke".
Why?
@@whome6764 Coke is ALSO the short name for Cocaine
@@drthmik Yeah, and? It's also the name of a very famous drink. (admittedly that drink gets it's name from once having Cocaine in it, but whatever. Can't have everything. XD)
I mean, does the sentence 'you wanna get some coke?' also sound suspicious to you? ;p
KuraIthys it does to me
@@drthmik WHAT LOL
BURNING COCAINE?
I think he means coal coke
Its in most minecraft modpacks and its a fuel source so i assume thats what he meant
Fantastic work on caring for your furever friend!
When you go to the comments but your so early that there is no comments and you dont know what to say.
You're
‘Are’
Oh look grammar nazi's 👀😒 this ain't English class. Its youtube. So long as u can understand the point. Who cares?
Vincent Valverde The reader cares. If the writer can’t be bothered to take it seriously, then they can’t expect the reader to take it seriously either.
@@sudo_nym it's the American in me that Just want to competently obliterate ever single nazi in the world! I do it in the name of freedom n justice for all...... plus I got nothing better to do at 4 in the morning 😕🙃🤣
THAT is what a dog should be like. Well trained. Good job!
do a live stream to get donations to help him lots of people would love to help
Nice work with the positive reinforcement training! Lots of yes’ and good dogs :) makes my heart happy
Nobody cares if you’re first!
Was just rewatching the cavalry sabre saga, you learned SOOO much in project, and invested so much in skills and equipment around casting. Would be amazing to see you use some of those things you learned, actually do a casting the Pablo way and make something really beautiful and amazing.
Don't teach Yogo to do any blacksmithing cause she'll steele the show.
I am always so impressed buy the sheer quality of editing in these videos
Lovely to see forge work by Alec. It's gotten me into this channel and I've missed some of this! Keep up the forging Alec. Loved the video.
Great to see some back to basics forging Alec. Have missed it lately.
