now that's a clever build!
I bet the base of one of those giant monster cans would be perfect
You should use a small concave make-up mirror.
Awesome Idea! I bet that would work great!
Looks like a little Dalek. Illuminate!
"Hotter than Satan's taint" I always learn much more than expected watching this channel, and that's why it's so f*cking good.
I just learned a new one! Excellent. 👍🤣😎
Excellent
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Bottom of some aerosol cans are pretty shiny for example WD40.
Most original project seen in a long time on RUclips!
I appreciate that big-time! Thanks for dropping a comment!
tey acutualy did make a spot light that used carbide ,had twin burners ,had a reflector simular to te old head lightsof the 20s/and 30s ,also house lamps with the twin burners and reflectors
Dude, you remind me of A.V.E.
Man you are in the wrong game... you should be a comedian, fck I got some good laughs, how ever I am going to try this lamp
Try the bottom of a Foster's Lager can.
Ты молодец
Awesome!
Cellulose is by far the quickest and best adhesive for that type of plastic but Acetone could even melt the parts together - for quickness
..ok .. it dried out :)
This is where the Acting progression gets the term " Lime-Light.
Maybe going back to some past things may be a good idea.
Close but not exactly, Limelight was actually the product of an oxy-hydrogen flame hitting a solid lump of quicklime which would produce a brilliant white light. I'm building an HHO generator right now to reproduce this effect! Keep an eye out for the video coming soon!
Thank you!
Looks like I messed up, but I like to learn.
Too many B.S. online, and too many Preachers. Good to meet a Teacher once in a while.
RESPECTS from LONDON.
No worries, I wouldn't call that a mess up. Perhaps just a little brain fart LOL. I appreciate the kind words!
That is fucking awesome! Nice! 😎👍
Surprisingly bright flame, bright = hot!
I made one sililar. I used the valve from an old Bic lighter and fit it inside the threaded part of a ball inflator needle that I removed the needle from and aslo used an old soda can bottom for the reflector. If you drill the hole first you can chuck it into a drill using a screw and some nuts and polish it with some comlound and the drill. Works great.
I’ve been watching you for a while now and you still seem to amaze me. I love science and I love smart asses. And by god aren’t you the funniest most smart ass scientist on RUclips. You make everyone else look like 90yo, high school science teachers
I must say like all your videos, but your comments are the best, thank you for a GR8T show
you could make a sugar rocket if you mix the carbide and kno3 or iron oxide, should be better than pure carbon or sugar
Wow, didn't know these were so bright.
I very much enjoyed this video.....
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for dropping a comment Scott
"Hotter than Satan's taint"
Is that warmer or colder than a $2 pistol?
Definitely warmer. Satans got a sweltering taint.
Invert of: cold as a witches tittie in Nebraska during winter.
wow
Awesome project! Thanks for sharing!
brilliant video my friend, im 100% going to make one now, thank you
HELL YEAH FUCKING COOL SHIT MAN
Because of the risks, Id just get that commercial flash back arrester shit. Its on all kinds of things, those sintered brass balls things.
very nice build.
Good job, looks great.
Thank you!
Makes me happy. I like it
You should polish the reflector part to make it Shiney so it works better!
Back in the day when my dad use to work in a fuil alchohol distillery he used a carbide lamp on a rope to check if there was oxygen inside the tanks and vats
Now that is awesome!
Great job
Now to add an oxygen stream ...
I don't know if the comment has already been made, but, if you want a slightly larger reflector, you might try the bottom of an Arizona Tea can.
It needs a video where you bake limestone to make the fuel.
I did a video on making calcium Carbide. It's more involved than just baking limestone, and really not viable on small scale. But it is doable.
Good job! Very Cool.
Thank you!
That is bloody awesome!!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for dropping a comment 👍
That's really cool!!! Keep Rocking it out!!!
Thanks Pat! I'll keep em' coming!
great vid by the way
Am I the only one who thought that the wad of nevr-dull looked like a dead mouse?😂
Nice job!
Awesome build!
Thank you Tommy 👍
That is pretty good. Awesome work!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Wow nice job it does work as good if not better
Thanks Jerry!
"More resitance to getting drilled than my wife." I am damn glad I found this channel. Please never change and go on with these great videos!
Glad your enjoying them Nico! I've got many more coming!
ElementalMaker Thanks, I am looking forward to them :)
This also convinced me to hit that sub button lol
@12:21 What man can't relate to that statement.
@@ElementalMakerI noticed something here and at the 2 min mark in this particular video that has me wondering... Is there more video making you do other then elementalmaker where you have a an assistant perhaps? Asking for myself not a friend. Thanks
How is mixing up a batch of epoxy faster than PVC cement? The PVC cement would have it completely bonded in about 10 seconds after pushing the parts together. The epoxy is still getting measured out at the 10 second mark.
It wasn't faster. It was just what I had on hand. My old PVC cement had gelled.
Nice work man!
Thank you!
That if freaking awesome 👍
A 4 jaw independent chuck was the best addition to my lathe, along with a quick change tool post. Videos are on my channel. I have the red version, but it's the same basically as the blue.
I also put a 3 to 1 speed reduction that way ups the torque, again it's on my channel lol
Love what you do em, and Thank you for your videos
Pretty fuckin cool.😎👍 Nice job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Most excellent vid
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
Set it outside, light it and let's see how long it will burn before the heat from the flame gets the brass hot enough to melt the PVC threads. Then we may get a BOOM ! lol
the gas flow should keep it cool unless it gets low on fuel.
@@psycho.dad5252 cool answer and its also a fact but some trolls like to think there being smart i guess my friend, just ask Radallolgy ?
Great job man. I like it
Thanks!
ElementalMaker
Next time you have time to run it, can you doc a few things and post, if possible?
1) weight of fuel used
2) burn time
3) highest temp of the reaction chamber
When I dropped enough pellets in my candle I made, I was worried about melting the chamber. But it's nothing more than a plastic bottle with a needle out of it. So I was curious as to how hot the reaction chamber with the nozzle attached will get while emitting a decent flame
I can't freaking wait to make one of these!!!
Always amazed me, when I use to drill wells, that only after about a 15-20 sec. count after slidding a newly glued joint together, we'ld let, often with over 400 foot of at least SCL40, 6 inch diameter pipe below it, hang from it and they always held.
Holy smokes that's impressive. What solvent glue were you guys using? I get quick bonds, but not that quick!
I freaking love this channel... Thank you for the awesome projects!
Thanks Billy! Glad your enjoying it!
Love your vidjas man!!!!
Thanks Adam!
Pretty damn cool. I just ordered some carbide, so I'll be giving this a go as soon as it arrives!
Very cool! Let me know how the build goes for you!
A good dose of healthy advice, practical tips and double entendres... a definate SUBCRIBE!
Keep It Up! :-)
That is not as good as a commercial lamp, it is so much better that it is amazing. Thanks for the upload
Glad you enjoyed Jim! Thanks for checking out my channel
I built one from metal fittings
Nice!
very nice project...you may need a heatsink on the nozzle
Waiting for the Johnny Cash cover album.
Enlightening...
I think I know what you did there.... and I like it!
It's in the hole
Could you use hot glue on the water tank part
you forgot the mining hat hook ...haha
Awesome! wish I had the Drill press and Lathe I'd recreate this
With a regular hand drill and a little ingenuity toy could easily do it! I just used the lathe and drill press since I have them handy
True. I keep watching your projects for inspiration on my own. Currently, I'm working on a mini water drill 1" OD (or at least that's what I'm calling it) to bore some holes in my backyard.
AWESOME!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for dropping a comment Izzy!
Nice!
Damn now i need to make 1 😁
It's a great little project and works incredibly well!
cool as fuck . idk how long itll last due to the heat . but still kick ass
This guy's a badass!
Why thank yah' sah'. Valar Morghulis.
Good as a commercial one. Not in your dreams my boy.
very cool sir! years ago i used to use a store bought lamp for gigging frogs and spearin fish. i had forgotten how handy they were till you brought them up recently.....and then you made one. bravo! i guess i'll have to go for it. i even have a can of calcium carbide i found in the shop the other day, don't remember why i had it anymore. i would of pitched it (...in a bucket o water ;0] if you hadn't brought this whole deal up.
I'm very happy my video was able to rekindle your interest Blake! I'm glad you enjoyed!
You should have made the whole thing out of brass
" pvc got erection and too hard to use" ... Phuqing great ... Always a breath of uncensored reality ... Thinking about making it from plumbing parts ... Maybe a tabletop version with three or four burners ... Oh shit ... Use a thrift store wall sconce reflector ... Or make a big one with foiled satellite tv dish ...
How is my favorite chemist/fire bug. You sound good. Great project today. Well done lad ! I am on the way over to your ball mill now. Thanks fella !
Doing well sir! How about yourself?
I had a rough month when my potassium level dropped but I am back on my feed now and lovin life. Thanks fella !
One nice dirty cheap nozzle you can get are jets from small motorcycles carburetors.
BN44 carburator replacement jets, for example, can range from #10 (0.1mm) to #120 (1.2mm).
Great idea!
That was nice.. I wonder if the idea could be adapted to make a combination stove/lamp for camping.
I'm sure it could be, but acetylene can produce alot of soot. Definitely a very cool idea though! I may have to give that a shot!
you could try spinning that paint can lid, with the bonus that you could adjust the shape to get the beam profile you want as well as trim it to the size you want.
I thought about doing that but don't have that kind of swing on my little lathe. Would be awesome though!
Have you thought about using a MIG tip? As you know they come in 0.30, 0.35, and 0.45. Think is in hundreds of an inch?
Quite a few people have suggested that, I need to give it a try!
They are useful in some situations but he said it’s a #80 orifice which is .0135”. No mig tips that small.
Yeh but how do you turn it off....
How did it take me this long to find this guy?
So glad you're making videos more regularly, love the channel bro! I wish you would've shown the adjustment while it was burning though.
I didn't even think of showing that since the flame was at pretty much optimal size. If/when I show it again, I will adjust the flame size to show the drip adjustment.
Also, glad your enjoying the channel! Much more to come!
Sure that you found you need a tiny air hole in the top tank so no vacuum lock of your drip.... only thing I would worry about is the plastic melting.... you could run your output anywhere with copper tube run it up you could use that paint can lid
Do you have a list of things need or what size is the PVC did you say did I miss it
The metal wool should also help keep any splashed calcium carbonate from clogging the nozzle.
That it should! Ill be replacing the standard steel wool with stainless or brass wool, since normal steel wool will degrade very quickly in the environment of the reaction vessel.
Use a pie 10 for your reflector Mark the center and then make one cut from the outer edge to the center then you can shape it into a cone whatever angle you'd like
Pie tin
Sweet
Thanks Danny! Glad you enjoyed!
As AvE would put it..."C'mon! Focus you fuck!"
You sound America's answer to ave.😀
use old d cell flashlight reflecters...the metal ones
Very cool! Next project, how about trying to build a small sabatier generator to make liquid methanol from CO2 and H2. That is, or was, a plan for a Mars lander, it would sit on Mars and over a few months make enough rocket fuel to ascend back into orbit to dock with the mother ship
That would be badass! Definitely something I want to try for in a future video. Don't have the materials right not for something like that though. I bookmarked the Wikipedia page and will hopefully be able to do something like that soon!
Ex-cel-lent!
Great project; great presentation.
À propos nozzles: you should be able to pick up virtually any hole diameter in (used) petrol or diesel injector nozzles. Another good source of miscellaneous, good-quality parts is old gas equipment (regulators, u.s.w.)
Very good to know, thanks for sharing! I'll keep an eye out any time I visit places like that!
ElementalMaker If you put some thin copper or brass shim discs behind the reflector, it should assist in radiating the heat that might damage the plastic. It might also help as extra flame-arrestor.
Keep up the awesome work!
