Hi Shane. I have flown over the house in my paramotor trike I built and you get a good view of the house from my diy paramotor trike built in my shed goo.gl/Epm8nQ Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
Hi Throw Me Back. I might have taxed the poor door to the limit but last time I went near that propane tank I ended up in hospital. So I had an cunning plan what could go wrong lol. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
@@GerrysDiy therapy is a bit brutal. To be fair I think the fact that you don't let things stop you is brilliant. I need a hoist to lift this, ah sure I'll use the garage door. What impressed me most was the you screwed the valve through the hook. I thought you were just going to clip it on to the valve but no I was so wrong.
Hi Shandon This contraption should work as it's a simple concept. Will be fun getting it over the line. More on this hot water stuff soon Thanks for commenting Appreciated Cheers Gerry.
Hi Volvo09. It building beside the shed has underfloor heating loops in it. I install underfloor heating when I built it and the feed for it is in the shed so it is possible to make it happen. I have all the gear to do it too. You never know lol Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Gerry, if you want to know why so many viewers... You are clearly NUMBER ONE on the internet for NORMALLY ASPIRATED waste oil burners. And as far a waste oil burners go, your ring of fire design may become legendary, because people copying it are finding it is very efficient. (Powered-air waste oil videos are a dime a dozen.) So many of us watching you use these burners OFF GRID because they are home-made heaters. Also, because oil is the best heat producer for off grid use. This is why you have us viewers. Off grid usually means hauling waste oil or diesel to a slightly remote location. Even the Eskimoes (Inuit) used whale and Seal oil for heat (blubber) due to all the B.T.U oil packs into a small transportable package. Please make your Free Hot Water heater normally aspirated when you find it convenient - we'll eat up your content. Thanks for all your other entertaining Paragliding etc content on the side, its fun to see what else is going on with you.
Hi Rand. I hadn't stopped to think of it in those terms. It would be very easy to make an unpowered version of this boiler stove and even a better looking design When I get it working with a fan I will cut it and make it run power free. I have some designs in mind so not too dificult. The closest I got to canada was when I flew into Chicago and could see it from above. I lived in Oregon for about 6 months and planned on going north but ended up in Sanfrancisco and LA instead. It's on the busket list though. Thanks for the comments. I will be doing another live chat on Sunday evening at 9pm utc so if I can keep up with all the comments and chat I might be able to answer things better there. Cheers Gerry
Whew! Finished the vid and you can still see. I can breath again. This project looks like good fun. I’m interested to see what kind of pressure relief fail-safe you come up with in case thermostatic controls fail.
Hi Nmranchhand. We''re getting close to getting it working now. There will be a lot of smoke on the first burn as all the paint melts off. Appreciate you commenting Thanks .Cheers Gerry
As ussual you always impress. Thanks for all the ideas and help with your recommendations as I have just recently reached 1000 subscribers with your help
Hi Gerry now your going to need an open vent so you don't turn that cylinder into a hotwater bomb this will let any pressure out of the system. And then you'll need an Ajax valve connected to the garden hose or town supply to auto fill the cylinder back up as hotwater is removed. Cheers Fireman Jim
I’m thinking that a fuel cut off thermostat, a pressure relief valve, and a launch tube if they fail. I’ve responded to boiler blowouts and it is an amazing force. Great idea.
Hi Abby Babby. This could get to massive pressures very quickly if it were a sealed system with blowout valves and similar but I will be making it an open vented system so it will just make steam and blow out an open pipe if it were to get too hot. It's very simple and I hope to have it going this week but I am busy with work. Thanks for commenting Appreciate it Cheers Gerry
Love the videos, we have been watching your progress for over a year now. Is it possible to scale down the stove size for even greater fuel economy, for example, with a 3.9 kg bottle? Does this make sense? Cheers Gerry. Don't stop doing what you do!
Hi Jane. It is possible to go smaller but there is a limit with this design because the burn chamber has to be red hot. However I will be making a smaller design once I have the boiler stove up an running . Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Do you plan on adding a pressure relief valve in case the water gets too hot? I've seen videos of hot water heaters exploding. I'm glad you're back to making videos. Cheers
Hi Gerry I’m thinking of making your water heater to heat my hot tub water via tee pieces to main pump. Just got to use some kind of copper coil pipe system to keep water clean
Could you direct me to one of your videos where you build the burner and hook it up to the blower system and the drip feed and detail I still sketchy on how to do it thank you
Hi Darren Here's a couple of playlists and a video to get you started There are a couple of million views on this one goo.gl/XEuMxJ Another Video goo.gl/HD9hkQ Playlist goo.gl/sTPqM4 ....Hope this helps Cheers Gerry
Hi NaCreaghaDubha. I am a plumber by trade so I get to work with oil boilers and stoves alot. What got me started on youtube was my flying videos with paragliders and paramotors. The gerrysdiy started because I have a freezing cold shed. I am amazed how the channel has grown. Hope to be doing a live stream from the shed as soon as I can get the cabling and adapters sorted from amazon. Thanks for the comment. Love your channel name Cheers Gerry
Hi James There will be a little header tank and it will be open vented to the atmosphere. A sealed system here would be very messy. Thanks for the comment Appreciated Cheers Gerry
Hey Gerry, excited to see what that bad boy does. Worse case for a safety measure is to start with a calculated amount of oil. Say 135-145K BTUs per gallon of WMO. If you have a 30 gallon water tank and the water is starting @ 40 degrees F and you bring the temp up to 200 degrees F that's roughly 40,000 BTUs. Perhaps start the system with no more than roughly 1/3 of a gallon give or take... Of course you could always just turn off your oil when you reach the temp you want but what fun would that be lol... Glad you had both eyes at the end of the video. Can't wait to see it fired up. Is this going to be an open system? How are you planning to harvest the heat? Cheers from Northeast Ohio
Hi M35a2guy I am going open vented with this. Unless I go at this with a wire brush there will be lots of smoke when the paint burns off and I am not going to sand it lol. What happens if you keep going across lake Erie into Canada is there border / custom issues. When you look at a map of the US you would swear it was just a big island lol. When you see it connected to Canada and Mexico thats going to be some wall or big fence lol. Ireland is just a little country with just 6.5 milion which is like one of your towns lol. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
GerrysDiy Hey Gerry! Cheers. You can certainly cross Lake Erie into Canadian waters from the American side. Your supposed to report with Canadian customs however upon arrival if you plan to even just drop anchor in Canadian waters. Both Canada and the US have a coast guard and it’s patrolled aggressively. My wife and I ride the Harley up through buffalo NY over to Niagara Falls but just stay on the American side.
Hi Rich. With the unruly nature of waste oil and the type of burner I will be using I elected to go with an open vented system so there will be no build up of pressure and I can always turn off the oil. On the next version there will be electronic control gear. I appreciate the comment Thanks Gerry
Hi Jake. I know what you mean. While making the videos I get caught up in the moment but I was looking at the video clips and the amount of safety precautions are nil. I think I need some rehab lol. Thanks for the comment made me laugh Cheers Gerry
Hi Cory. I just want a water heater for a pressure washer. This unit will be mobile but just for setup and build I have it connected to the flue in the shed. I'm not sure about steam yet but certainly hot water for now. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry

All your videos are good . Keep up the good work . This guy needs sponsors !
Thanks Lundi for taking the time to comment Much appreciated Cheers Gerry 👍👍

great vid Gerry looking forward too more great vid

so whats holding up the water tank? and how does the water come out of the tank?

don't seal it off without a temp and pressure relief valve. a steam explosion is more powerful than a TNT

You have to be very careful of things that go up your flue...;-)
Hi Karl. I was editing the video and I laughed when I realised what I had said but left it in anyway lol. Thanks for the cool comment Cheers Gerry
Boilers are super tricky to work with, a pressure relief valve is necessary as steam is extremely dangerous!
Assuming there is any pressure at all.

If you want waste oil, look to Alberta, they are trying to get rid of bitumen oil, 120 thousand barrels a Day.
Hi Robert That's an enormous amount of oil. Cheers Gerry
