I'd use ethanol, then you don't have that smell that comes prom isopropanol, or mix it. 2/3 iso and 1/3 ethanol, this also get's rid of the smell. (And makes a nicer flame, too.)

Well now that's a trip. The thumbnail popped up in my suggested feed, and I thought, 'well this looks interesting,' and then you get to the part where you have the materials on the table and I see copper tubing made where my dad works!
Nice, you did a great job on these. I like that lager jar, the ones I had on hand were the small mason jars, when I tried the full size one it would not build up enough pressure to get the stove going. You did great!
Tilt the rounded copper tubing at horizontal level and drill as many holes. Believe this will enhance the heat energy of the copper stove since the flame is scattered at a wider area.
On trumpets they use ice. And additive to make ice doft and slushy. But don’t remember the rest, if they heated quickly or just bended😊 i’m going to make a couple of those. I just need to find desired jars and stuff😊
It would help your flame burn blue if you used a #60 to #65 drill bit. That is .0400" to .0360" diameters respectfully. Your drilled coil hole is too big thus a yellow flame and you will use less fuel. Most craft shops carry the bits.
He emptied the salt out after bending the tubes. Supposedly no salt remained. The yellow flame was caused by the ignition rising well above the vapor exit hole and also turbulence mixing air with the burn. I’m thinking a much smaller hole is the way to start the experiment then increase the size until a hot blue flame is achieved. Also, I would separate the upper coils a bit so the flame would be between them, not striking them directly which creates turbulence in the burn. Even though this is a simple design, there are several variables that need to be experimented with.
Excellent video, I'm definitely going to make one of these. Have you thought of pulling the wick through the pipe before you bend it ? You could use a coat hanger to do it, and it would probably make the pipe less likely to crimp.
Thank you the wick wont protect the pipe from getting kinked cause it’s not round shaped and it must be placed after bending the pipe so you can tell exactly where it is cause if you noticed the wick dosent go through the whole pipe only on both ends have fun and please be safe
If the tube only went into the jar once instead of twice, you could put a valve inline and control the flame output. Can you use lamp oil or Olive oil in that too?
Would put the wicks in the copper tubing before putting the copper in the cap. be easier to install. nice video. building better the destroying! On bending the tubes? where you bought your copper tubing and tube cutter, they sell different size "M" type soft copper benders?? a set in the states runs about 20 bucks. why waste the salt when sild on a bender and be done in one minute.
2010joen ... Yes, I noticed that he drilled a very tiny hole, possibly 1/16”. Maybe start with very small diameter drills, test run the stove, and increase drill size, retest, etc.. Until a blue flame is achieved. Since the tube is only 1/4”, possibly a 1/8” diameter hole is too large, and drilling two, or even three much smaller holes in a row would create a broader flame. To what advantage, I’m not sure, but like you mentioned, experimenting might get the desired blue flame.
Hello! A friend of mine followed your directions andade one of these for me. The flame lights but goes out after about 10 minutes. He used denatured alcohol. Do you have any troubleshooting ideas? I'd appreciate your advice!
@@francotappa5882 I'm using denatured alcohol. It worked great last night until a pinhole leak appeared at one of the joints and flame started coming from there. I added more of the JB weld. Now it sputters and won't stay lit.
Maybe you could add a valve or something in the alcohol pipe to regulate flame output, i tried different things with empty shells from 9mm, .45 and 7.62, filled with acetone, they work kind of the same princip but less effective XD, but the less aceton was in them "the cooler" the flame got

Great video. I do have a question though. How will this stove work without using the capful of alcohol directly under the copper tubing...without the cap completely? If u us a torch to heat the tubing until vaporization begins, will it still burn until it runs out of fuel? I ask because I made one using a different video that didn’t use the cap, and mine burns for about 5 minutes before it just goes out. Maybe my wick isn’t far enough up the tube or the 2 holes the copper tube goes through on the jars lid isn’t sealed properly. Any ideas?
Great video, nice little stoves, and I like your building techniques. I like using a pipe cap for starting alcohol. I also like the salt for tubing bending. I would like to try freezing water like for making trumpets, and compare the 2 techniques. What are your thoughts on using other fuels like E85? Can these stoves adapt to different fuels without having different sized ports? Liked and subscribed.
If the lid was copper, or brass, I would certainly try to solder the tubes. However the lid may be steel or aluminum. If steel, it would be a difficult soldering job, but if aluminum, it would be impossible.
I used 1.13 and it goes into a blow torch to cook with for camping , his looks to be way to big , its not made right , this should build pressure a blue hot flame should be seen and it will sound just like a canister stove and burn just as hot ,but it will only last about 25 minutes max before refill , also caution refilling , you dont want to put too much fuel in the jar , it will start to spit it out as a liquid and thats a fire waiting to happen , also you need to put the wick in proper , not far enough it wont feed , too far in , it will spit alot of liquid. Just play outside with it or make shur to have fire prep ready , hope i helped, also if you have a hard time keeping it going because the pressure keeps blowing out the flame go up one small size at a time , if the hole gets too big it will burn like you see here , if you want a candle like you see here just go strait to a 1,5 or higher .....
The alcohol creates a positive pressure as it vaporizes, so there is no need to have a vent. In fact, having a vent would prevent it from working properly. The heated tube forces the alcohol to vaporize quicker, which is why this design is known as an alcohol jet stove.
Yes paul also metal releases a lot of heat. Also notice how the flames multiplies in size after touching the coil above. Seriously richard. Watch the video. Solve it for yourself.
@@Darkstar..... I suspect the uninitiated would mostly not understand the process. Seriously Dark, put yourself in their shoes, stop trying to feel superior, or just don't comment, please!
Heating the coil of copper draws the fumes up into it faster and at more pressure like a siphon. Thats why you have to prime it by heating it first and also why the flame gets bigger when the coil heats up.
Does all of the fire come from fuel burning inside of the small copper cap? Or does fuel move from the inside of the glass jar to outside of the glass jar?
A million times better than the "coke can burner" in my opinion. Your teaching is perfect, thank you so much! Two questions though is this safe to burn in the house or tent if you're using the 99% alcohol with the smallest hole you can make? (I think I can get a pretty small hole by drilling before bending with the Dremel and taping the hole closed for the sand). And can you use a 4 cup mason jar or is that getting too big? (I'm a "Tim The Tool Man" type of guy). I'm going to a lot of fun playing with this one!
this is much cooler, but coke can stoves put out more heat, and can be made from rubbish in minutes. coil jets are really fun to build and experiment with! thin walled 4-6mm brass tube with a loose glass fiber wick gave me the best results.
@@Ucceah You can build your coke can stove during your emergency if you want, but I think I will build an Alcohol Stove in preparation for an emergency. I will build some extras for friends. The big jars will last for hours and has a MUCH cleaner burn.
@@@reasoningtruth chill, we're completely on the same page, mate. can stoves/cooking sets are super lightweight and effective survival-wise, and still a pretty awesome invention in their own right. i havent built one, though, but a couple of coil jets, one of which gets used frequently for fondue and a hot stone, and to fry up breakfast eggs out on my balcony. i just wanna share some enthusiasm and a bit of my experience from trial and error. ;) to drill the holes, i use a dull but still pointy exacto blade like an awl, that way it starts out thinner than a 0.5mm drill bit, but can easily be widened later on. too big of a jar will make it harder to build up pressure (which can be regulated by tightening and loosening the lid), and less handy as a cooker than a short, squat container. my little go-to one holds around half a cup of fuel, and burns for 1-2h, putting out an estimated ~600W of heat at foll throttle. (using 4mm brass tube. thicker tube can give you more oomph) i hope that's helpful.
@@Ucceah I'm neither too cold or too hot, I'm just right, thank you. Clearly, we are looking for different solutions. It seems you're looking for alternative cooking solutions whereas I'm looking for that plus heating alternatives. When we occasionally loose electric it gets really cold. Right now I use a plate full of the tealights but it gives off that candle smell and they only last a couple of hrs. whereas the 2 cup mason jar will burn for 4 hrs. I have tons of the 4 cup mason jars from all the Keifer I make. So, I'm looking for heaters that will last indoors for 8 hrs. and cook at the same time. I hope that helps our understanding.
methylated spirit (ethanol) is the better choice. it's quite a bit cheaper than rubbing alcohol (isopropyl), and burns cleaner, where iso tends to produce a yellow flame, that leaves soot instead of condenseing droplets of water, when cooking over it.
In my experience, JB Weld degrades over time and will fail. I use High Temp RED RTV Silicone. The kind used to seal gasoline engines with. Over a year of use in my alcohol stove and the Silicone shows no sign of deterioration. JB Weld lasted only about 6 months. I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm just informing you of my experience.
Beautiful and I love the addition of the little cap for lighting!

Cool idea, and it's art.
It's burning a bit too orange and the flame is too tall for a practical camping stove/burner,
but you still get a thumbs up!
I think you could just solder copper to tin instead of using the silicone.
Tilt the rounded copper tubing at horizontal level and drill as many holes. Believe this will enhance the heat energy of the copper stove since the flame is scattered at a wider area.
do you have a video link that shows what you are talking about?
Best example I've seen so far. Thanks!
Preheat the copper tube with the flame beforehand, then it will be softer to bend :)
Best version of this build video I've seen yet
What size hole needs to be drilled in the tube? The video only stated 'smallest' drill bit.

great, your projects are always beautiful and well made! Hello Friend
+Work Space thank you
Btw keep up the good work great channel you got there
I will do my best and take example from you :)
There is a tool for working with soft copper called a hand bender... I never tried to bend a full circle, but I'm pretty sure it can be done
Ruthless Cardigan or fill tube with fine sand..also use a spring that will just barley slide over...both will prevent from kinking and pinching
Well done video for an item that can actually be useful in an emergency situation.
That's a clever idea thanks for sharing mate.
Какой умница!!! Очень хорошая идея , спасибо...
Could you put a metal mesh in the flame to act as a radiant space heater? Or would that make too much carbon monoxide?
Is there any way to control the flame.

Easier to bend copper if you anneal it first by heating to red hot and plunging into cold water.
Easier to bend yes, less prone to kinking, no. But yeah, I see your point. Just clarifying for possible others.
put wick before bending. flame is oxygen deficient
perfect for my college situation
Thank you samo for the detailed illustration. I guess the flame heats the air so that the alcohol gets sucked and filled the pipe?

Do not recommend using a glass jar because if it drop it will not turn into a gasoline bomb, sort of. A metal jar is safer.
Pretty cool invention buddy! Good video!
What is the tool used to cut the copper tubing ? Can I use kerosene ? And will kerosene burn longer ?
Excellent, thank you very much

Is there a reason why you make the top so tight? If you leave a gap between the coils then the flame could go through.
It needs the heat from the flame to expand the vapor as it is drawn towards the burn hole.

Apakah aman menggunakan kaca seperti itu ?
From what I understand you can put sand in the copper tube when wrapping around the handle
Adding sand will prevent the tube from getting kinked while bending it
How do you keep the alcohol from evaporating when not in use?
There is only that small hole, so I would guess evaporation would be minimal...
You can unscrew the cap and put it back in the bottle.
Use a spare cap... these type of jars have 2 peice tops, ring, lid, you can just carry a extra lid.

What is "enough heat" exactly?
Don't you need a small vent in the jar to prevent vacuum from stopping the fuel flow as the level burns down?

Does all of the fire come from fuel burning inside of the small copper cap? Or does fuel move from the inside of the glass jar to outside of the glass jar?
The heat from the flame pressurizes the inside, the the alcohol turns to vapor as it’s forced up the wick and out the drilled hole.

I have tons of the 4 cup mason jars from all the Keifer I make. So, I'm looking for heaters that will last indoors for 8 hrs. and cook at the same time. I hope that helps our understanding.
methylated spirit (ethanol) is the better choice. it's quite a bit cheaper than rubbing alcohol (isopropyl), and burns cleaner, where iso tends to produce a yellow flame, that leaves soot instead of condenseing droplets of water, when cooking over it.
i love it thanks

Thank you
...for better bonding use JB Weld
In my experience, JB Weld degrades over time and will fail. I use High Temp RED RTV Silicone. The kind used to seal gasoline engines with. Over a year of use in my alcohol stove and the Silicone shows no sign of deterioration. JB Weld lasted only about 6 months. I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm just informing you of my experience.

If I had a much bigger container/jar could you use 2 or 3 coils on the same lie to get 3 flames and more heat?
+TheJunkyardgenius
I haven’t tried it yet with more than 1 coil
Can we use kerosene instead of alcohol? Because its is far cheaper than alcohol.
