Overview
In this episode we test out new modifications for the super cost effective chinese diesel car parking heater, including underfloor heating and auxilary radiators by utilising the waste heat from the exhaust.
I also discus in the last part my thoughts on climate change in relation to using cheap fuels and CO2 production specifically. While I'm not convinced about focil fuels being the main problem, I'm certainly not an advocate for what big oil has done to devistate the plannet in other ways.

Before anyone comments their thoughts on the things I've said, PLEASE please make sure you first have listened to everything I've had to say on the subject especially the last 10 minutes of the video where I make my position clear and also double check all the facts I've mentioned before assuming I'm wrong. Otherwise I would be very interested in your perspective, Thank you.
I would also like to bring peoples attention to another matter on the other side of the argument related to fuel which is the case of Donziger: chuffed.org/campaign/free-donziger/bb
I hope this video was helpful and insightful to you and if so please would you share, like and comment to help me further.

Cheers J
What you say makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for putting the effort into explaining it so well.
You couldn't be more spot on, the facts speak the truth. Those who deny the facts, are doing so out of woeful ignorance, and/or are wilfully supporting and pushing a devious/evil agenda.
Thank you for sharing
It's always good to listen to different arguments about a subject.
I have to check out 'The Dimming'...
@@tigs9573 thank you for watching. Cheers J
For whatever it is worth I want to say thank you. We moved house recently and I started all sorts of DIY tasks, none compared to your level but your video's have inspired me to not depend on someone else to do something as simple as changing a sink tap, fixing a leaking toilet, replacing carpets, painting, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you
@@PrincePawn thank you for your support. I find much satisfaction when I do it myself. Even if I fail I actually learn something and make improvements. It can be more costly making mistakes but long-term that knowledge goes a long way. Cheers J
Your content is exactly what i have been hunting for on RUclips.
Thank you so,so much it is very much appreciated.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
A voice of sanity in an insane world.
The last 10 minutes gained you a follower.
Also great video
Thank you. Cheers J
Been working with underfloor heating for 16 years. Running pipes through insulation tends to insulate against heat. We put aluminium diffusion plates in the grooves which spread the head out like a heat sync. You’re right about spiral patterns being more efficient than meander patterns 👍
@@madmax0814 interesting, thank you for the tip. Cheers J
@joshuadelisle I'm no heating expert, but many of the installs I've seen run in screeded floors and seem to work similar to storage radiators.
@@chriswharrier3571 Yep. The screed becomes the regulating thermal mass.
Screed=slow release thermal battery 👍🏻 surrounding pipework in insulation stops the heat being released. Excellent video J
you put the insulation on the bottom, the thermal mass in the middle and diffusing material on the top.
I randomly clicked on this video, then I expected poorly quantified statements but you're pretty on point. The overall topic of global warming is not the main point of this. Love to see someone making use of what a lot of people call 'waste'. It's good use of what you've already got, that being said heat pumps for most people that have a normal house a heat pump won't go amiss.
Thank you. cheers J
So many useful techniques I learn from you! Here's one for you: you can cut hard foam wth a vibrating multi-tool, small saw tip. Much faster than sharp knife & chisel.
@@StevePotter thank you. Great tip. Cheers J
Josh I've watched a bunch of your vids, but this one really packed a punch. They way you matter of fact harpoon the madness of the current epoch is brilliant and while I was always a kindred spirit following your maker stuff, I now feel we have even more affinity based on everything you espoused here. Bravo!
Thank you so much, I could rant all day on a great many things that would get me in real trouble to talk about. it cant all be talk though and sometime just living by example is enough when all else has gone mad. cheers J
I have a diesel powered central heating system, which also heats a hotwater tank (calorifier) for our domestic needs. What it has, which your system does not, is an aquastat on the hotwater return. This allows the heater to cycle on and off but keep the water pump running. Having more radiators and a larger underfloor system would also help the efficiency.
Great content as usual. Thanks,
Thank you. This heater can't work with an aquastat because it needs to go through a cool down cycle. I theoretically program a controller for it but it's not simple to do. Cheers J
It's like a breath of fresh air to finally find someone on youtube with some actual sense. Hats off to you mate, your a legend!
@@matthewkaye722 thank you so much. You're very kind. Cheers J
Your friends, family and neighbors are lucky people. Bless u and yours and thank u for existing.
@@John-mc8sh your very kind. Bless you too. Cheers J
Josh I absolutely could not argue with any of your final points, the voice of reason
@@paulscott6463 thank you so much. There is a lot more I could rant about especially the other side and the corrupt nature of big oil too. Wood stoves that run off sustainable locally managed trees are probably best. That's why I love coppicing. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle Apart form the PM2.5 that affects respiratory health, coppicing is carbon neutral and generally an awesome personal heating solution. Love it!
Hole saw in a hole saw, mind blown
@@tommym936 it's a useful one when needed. Cheers J
I'm 55 and never seen that great tip
It's a top tip
Yes top tip, I usually cut a hole in a waste piece then secure that where new hole required to centre cutter but this is easier.
Meh, done by AvE many years ago
I'm a welder/fabricator at a farm in western upstate NY,1200 acre/small farm.I get all the free wood I can cut off hundreds of acres of forest. I heat my shop with wood from the stove I made myself-it's not efficient by any measure,but it works! Love your content BTW
@@garthland wood stoves are the best, I actually have an open fire hearth in our house and I love it. Cheers J
For inexpensive and efficient wood heat, Rocket Mass Heaters are one of the best options.
Excellent video and testing Josh, you put a lot of effort into your projects, well done.
Due diligence also shows us we are going into a mini ice age - and they know it, it happens every 400 years (The 400 Year Reset), it follows the Maunder minimum.
Interesting. Thank you. Cheers J
As well as the heat exchanger (one from an old combi boiler would work incredibly well, try passing the exhaust air through an old cast iron radiator (empty of water(obvs), get it from a salvage yard) entering in from the bottom on one side and out of the top on the opposite side, it's a larger thermal mass that you need. It will condensate inside so you will need to use the other bottom rad port as an external drain point.
@@RichardFoley3 that's definitely an idea that would work. Cheers J
I love these videos. Joshua - your delivery is always SPOT ON. And the intermixed humor gets me every time. You speak to so many levels of truth in a relatable way, I can tell you that it resonates even to a bloke like me in Ohio. Although I must confess I am bit of a black sheep using m/kg/C whenever I get the chance..even changing the display unit settings in my wife’s car from time to time and leaving them that way hoping she or my kids realize that there is a world out there.
In the 1980's, preservation was a dirty word among 'developing' nations. Instead, it was conservation only bespoken, lest your risked alienating your poor listener into thinking you were going to take away his remote control and make him go back to getting off the couch to change the TV channel. (hint here: the fear of losing was then made the winner) While conserving is good, something to be emphasized surely, a portion of our so-called growth in the past 40years has led to some dimly lit candles among us. GI-GO or garbage in-garbage out simply that is spreading under various guises.
I applaud you for your experimentalist savvy and bringing us along for the endeavors. It is pioneering in the 21st century. While much can be said to be changing in the world, God’s love for His creation has not. Keep encouraging the conversation, the discipline to read and seek out the origins of what is still true today and above all blessing your viewers,, it shows your depth as a human being, more than any science or art can do on its own. And heaven knows, we do need it. Thank you and may God bless you and all that you seek in the days ahead Joshua.
Thank you so much and for taking the time to comment. God bless. Cheers J
Finally someone who I agree with as far as diet and CO2 goes, we need to form a movement to drive over the Just Stop Oil clan
Thank you. I get why just stop oil are so passionate but they've gone about it all wrong. The important thing is to have dialogue and to have your argument heard and tested in a debate where everyone's perspective is taken into account. It's important to be open to an alternative idea and not be locked in one way of understanding. That's the only way to the truth to come forward because lies don't stand. Everything I've said can be checked but there is even more that I've learned from other commentators which is very interesting. Cheers J
Literally?😁
To be fair there has been dialogue for decades. The oil companies have known about industrial climate change for much the same amount of time. But nothing changes. I applaud JSO for their guts to stand up to it.
@@joshuadelisle It always annoys me when I see the JSO people out with their freshly bought Gortex outdoor gear and plastic hi viz stuff on. Theyre almost covered in new oil products from head to toe, after meeting up and drinking coffee shipped from the other side of the planet out of disposable plastic cups! ut I suppose they have a great day out living on the edge, because roads are dangerouse places to sit down.
I drive an old 300 TDI, run a veg oil mix, and spend many hours weekly working there repairing deer fencing, and lots of maintenance in 80 Achres of young woodland, of which seven of us have our areas and work restoring hard wood woodland. It was a farm 20 years ago, and provides me with fuel to heat my home and water, and is a wonderful place to work, just on the edge of the Cairngorms in Scotland.
I wish JSO would see the light and get into coppicing, pollarding and maintaining what woodlands we have left which are mostly not managed. Managing woodland increases biodiversity and produces lots of wood for fuel and making things; it is also good for your soul.
So I agree, they are going about helping the enviroment by helping destroying it IMHO too.
Inspired by your first video I installed a heater in my house and when my wife discovered that it is a fantastic clothes dryer, it works 24/7 :)
Kero also burns cleaner than diesel but not quiet as hot . My heater is outside just blowing hot air into the kitchen and its coming into its 5th year now hail , rain and snow .I have mine connected to an IBC and its on 24/7 throughout the winter and just keeps going haven't even had to change the glo plug . Best £ 55 i have ever spent .
@@Chris-tz9ct well done. I do love a bargain especially when it keeps me warm. Cheers J
Where can you buy kerosene at any decent price and quantity in the UK?
@@G-ra-ha-m Don't know about anywhere else but in Scotland oil heating is still popular and oil is easy to get . Get yourself an IBC or old oil tank and get the minimum delivery which is 600ltr with my supplier . or any amount between 600 and 1000lts .
@@joshuadelisle Ah - I didn't realise heating oil was actually kerosene LOL :D
What a great watch thankyou, i totally align with your ideas, but sometimes feel like im on an island, i expect i'll get some tinfoil for christmas one day to keep me in hats:) the way you were able to break the topics down and remain concise was a testament to your knowledge on the info, where you've actually looked into it instead of believing the nonsense we are being fed in the mainstream, 👏👏👏
Thank you so much. I like it concise. I don't have patience for fluff and fillers and so I try to get to the point as efficiently as possible. Cheers J
Rubber hose between the copper and Aluminian pipes. Agreed on All else. 🔥
@@bust2boom596 you're right. Cheers J
Silicone rubber hose (sold for cars) is excellent stuff. A straight 18mm bore will comfortably stretch/squeeze to these pipes. Use an inhibitor in the water. Or even car antifreeze.
A long corrugated exhaust run inside a 50mm (2”) aluminium tube with a fan blowing air through will extract the heat. 3 metres of pipe should be enough.
Since they are electrically connected by the medium inside (water) I suspect galvanic corrosion will occur regardless.
Fair play, this in my view is what RUclips is made for, and I have an unusual way of absorbing information and you seem to talk my language,
I've been homeless for a while sleeping in my work van with my dog, just got a caravan so I'm looking for all ways to save money, I'm a solid fuel specialist but lack electrical knowledge, I love anything to do with heat recovery so I will be using parts of this with myown ideas..
Thankyou for existing 👍
@@Turbofab thank you so much. Am I right in thinking that you are houseless and not homeless. Your home is your van and caravan which is a considerably cheaper way of living until you can get enough funds together to buy a plot of land as an asset etc. rent and mortgages are far too high at the moment so it makes sense to live simply until you can build up enough capital. I'm testing out a 7m yurt tent shortly and will apply cost effective off grid living ideas. I'm considering it for moving into a wood or as a temporary dwelling whilst building a cabin etc. Cheers J
@joshuadelisle well I was homeless until I got a caravan, it's mainly because of my dog, no landlord would even look at me so I ran out of time and ended up putting all my things in a shipping container and sleeping in my van for a while until I could afford a caravan..
I'm way off being able to get land but I'm glad to be in a caravan that I can atleast make warm,
The yurt sounds great if you have somewhere to put it, bury glass bottles and top with 2 inch of soil or wood chip, that's about the best thing you can do as a base inside a yurt
@Turbofab that must have been very hard. It sounds like you're working hard and being frugal with what you can find. I can't afford land either yet and I'm very blessed with an affordable rent that allows animals. Still I have a plan and trying to save. I have a family of six to provide for so it's slow progress on the saving front. All the very best. Cheers J
Brilliant Josh, your closing thoughts should be compulsory viewing for all who have any influence over others' energy consumption. It is ironic that You Tube puts it's UN propaganda notice under your video. Keep up the great work.
Thank you. I may not be right on all my points but I'm open to hearing other perspectives and to be convinced otherwise. Cheers J
I believe a circulation pimp would increase its ability to cool your exhaust faster capturing more of its heat. Nice video.
Thank you Josh for these updates.
Love your closing dialogue, epic
@@manicminer8813 thank you so much. Cheers J
Quite honestly your videos pack a ridiculous amount of valuable info on a wide ranger of home-tech matters into them, and links for all of the parts is a massive timesaver. You definitely earned a sub. The lazy part of me wants to get someone with your skillset to come and do all this for me, but your enthusiasm and practical approach has inspired me to start doing this. 8KW base kit just ordered from ebay in the background while watching the vid LOL... I'm sure my bank account is going to get hammered as I work through your kit-list but as it's all modular I guess I can do it in stages.
Off-grid low voltage power and light circuits has been one of my big investments over the last 10years as I've been renovating a little ruin in Northern France but as we all know, there is no real scope for heating with just PV systems so this heater and rad setup is an excellent solution even if I never get around the doing the underfloor heating project. Luckily I have an abundant supply of LiPO 12W batteries from Hospital trolleys linked to some ridiculously cheap solar panels and a good MPPT controller which has allowed me to build up a very large powerbank and this can easily feed the power requirements of the heater, I love that this heater just needs an average 12v power requirement... 12v is king for me ! Nothing worse than having to run an inefficient invertor to get 240v just so I can connect some 15 or 19v psu's
Love the content my friend and once again, thanks for all of the info. You are a credit to RUclips... Raffall tickets also bought ;-)
Thank you so much for your support and kind encouragement. I like the idea you had to find old equipment with good batteries. All the very best. Cheers J
narrative was a hoax, I decided to dig into the facts to set him straight once and for all. However, as I researched, I encountered information that genuinely challenged my perspective-much of which you cover in this video. This one conversation sparked a deep journey for me; it made me question what other beliefs I’d held as fact that were really just ideas I had absorbed without examining closely. From topics like cloud seeding to historical events, I began to realize that things aren’t always as we’re told.
As someone who has always struggled with weight, I also decided to rethink everything I knew about diet. This led me to a diet based on meat and natural fats, and I’ve now lost almost 40 kg. I feel fitter and healthier than ever before. Interestingly, even though I’m subscribed to your channel with notifications enabled, this is the first video of yours I’ve seen since you first installed the heater. Love your videos, dont be affried to keep speaking up.
Thank you so much Mark. I'm glad to hear you're doing well. May God bless you and keep you safe. Cheers J
Wow what a great channel! Just watched this one and your wood gasification/generator. Heating engineer myself, living in france. The advice in the comments on the underfloor heating is spot on. I myself have just finished my installation of a wood gasification boiler my next challenge is to build a stirling motor from the exhaust gassers that will run the circulating pumps in my heating system. Idea being that the central heating system will run solely on wood! No external electricity supply needed! Keep up the good work!
Nice, well done, I want to also harvest the excess heat for my central heating once i've finished building mark 2 gasifier. cheers J
I absolutely love your videos, the way you back up your knowledge at every point is second to none. I’ll be having a punt on rafall again too. Looks a handy bit of kit. Thanks Josh, keep them coming.
@@its_marc thank you so much. I don't always get my knowledge right which I sometimes have to point out but listening to others who find the flaws in what I say is very helpful. Essentially you are all making me smarter with any criticism. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisleI’ve learned soooo much from you 👍
Tickets bought 👍
Finaly someone sad it! Fast, high quality and cheap don't belong belong in the same sentence. You can have two out of three. Thank you
Good work, Joshua. The difference between the thermocouple and IR thermometers sensing the glossy metals is due to the emissivity coefficient compared to the default 0.95 like in paper. To make them show the same reading, put some paint over that spot you test or maybe a piece of matte plastic tape. I have built a few of these systems and noted that the best system consists of the burner being outside and circulating building air through it. That is the safest option.
@@henrikstenlund5385 I agree. Good tip. Cheers J

@@michaelpagliarini4785 you're very kind. Cheers J
The most important thing you said in the last bit is "the most important thing is the discussion". 100% true for all of human nature. We wouldn't have this tribal 2 sided hate war going on if people would just talk to each other. It isn't about proving you are right and they are wrong. It's about putting both of your thoughts together and seeing if you can figure out something. ITS SCIENCE!
Definitely. Cheers J
I will run the post again as there was a lot of information contained in it. You are spot on when you indicate that the 'government' takes more and more from people, while restricting what we do. I was fascinated by the underfloor heating, it definitely is worth progressing with. I enjoy the gifts that Mother Nature blessed us with, living in a forest halfway up a mountain in West Wales.We have 4 oak trees in the garden plus numerous apple and pear trees. We don't use pesticides or other chemical treatments. Hopefully this cleaner air will extend life with my pulmonary fibrosis. Great post, as it really is a guide to saving us all money and reducing what big businesses take a bigger share than needed. 👍
@@thepagan5432 thank you so much. It sounds like you're living the dream. I personally would like to live in the Amazon rainforest but my family are not so keen. Nature is truly wonderful and I could spend all my days sitting and watching it. Cheers J
Great video. You are down to earth and speak common sense in a deranged world. Thanks 👍
Thank you. cheers J
If You need new flooring then that experyment says it all. Thermal insulation under, then pipes on top of that (not into it) then cover with sand or concrete. Edges of the floor need to be insulated, the heat exchanger bit bigger. You can add a water heat buffer (100l /200l) because 40C is max for underfloor central heating. Your heater generates too much heat in a short time (to run efficiently). It's like a wood burner using a gasification process, very efficient, eco friendly, but needs buffer for extra water and a big heat exchanger.
Best plant for o2 production is hemp. There are loads of types without psychoactive substances. As a side effect, (other than o2 production) it grows extremely fast and is better for paper production. Clothes can be made out of it..... Ford made a car out of it, and it ran on hemp seeds oil 1941. Yet someone is blocking that idea.
All the best.
Likely you'll want the pipes running in the middle (height wise) of sand/cement.
@@marcindawid8485 interesting, thank you for the tip. Cheers J
@@mkeyx82 Technically, You should use aluminium foil and tape on top of insulation, Minimum 5cm of mass heat storage (sand cement) up to 10cm, but that depends again on heat saurs, time to heat up, time to cool down ect. In an experimental small scale lab putting pipes on top of insulation will do, and will be much more effective than digging them into insulation. I have downstairs with floor heating at my house, and regret not being able to do upstairs. It is a big energy saving step for a house.
@@marcindawid8485 not sure if we got the wires crossed, I did not claim pipes should be dug into the insulation, just that I expect a more uniform heat transfer to the heat mass (sand, cement) if the pipe is neither on the bottom of the mass nor it is on the top.
This should be easily achievable if the pipes are laid on some sort of spacers, at half the height of the heat mass.
BTW, I am thinking about how a properly insulated floor should look like. Your comment about need to put a tape between the insulation and the mass makes sense. I would expect a moisture membrane should go below the insulation, as well. How to avoid the cold bridge between the wall and the wall?
I agree with you on climate change and diet. Thanks for the video. When I eventually build my garden room I'll be using a kero heater. Might even do underfloor.
watched all 49 minutes and 54 seconds! And I agree with all what you said at the end.! Now im going to check Rafall if I won the laser 🙂
Thank you so much. A chap from London won it. It's in the post. More lasers to come in the future including the xTool P2 and Comarker B4. Cheers J
Nicely done Josh. Regarding extracting the waste heat, have a think about doing it in multiple stages. Reason being, with direct to water (EGR cooler) if the water is running slowley, it can easily become over heated. Either boiling or creating a failure in the pipes thermal limit. Running the pump too quickly will not allow for the heat absorbtion to be efficient. This is why ERG coolers have multi pipes to extrease surface area for heat exchange and allows for a shorter heat eachange unit to extract the necessary heat, but this is balanced based on water flow speed to desired output temp. The remainder unfortunatly is pushed out as waste heat. Your short EGR with its water flow (as you demonstrated) tops out at 50degC for this reason. Increasing the heat exchange efficiency whether its multi cavity EGR or longer pipe will neccesitate you increasing the thermal mass that its heating (more pipe or radiators) to reduce the risk of high temp failure within the system and possibly increasing the water flow as the temperature rises. Personaly I would build in a high temp safety feature (either electronic cutoffs or a expansion vessle for closed system or a tall pipe from an open vented hot water tank) and also look to add in an air-to-air exchange first ahead of the EGR cooler, (becaise air can handle the higher tempertaures) and also improve your EGR cooler efficiency by either multi cavity or longer run or even multi versions of the same design. But what ever you do, make sure you remove any possibility of producing legionalla.
Excellent points. Thank you. Cheers J
To increase the underfloor heating people wrap the pex pipe with thin aluminium plates that extend outwards parallel with the board on the top (your checker plate) to increase the surface area of the pipes.
Yes you're right. I'll try something like that. Cheers J
Great video and definitely something that most people using these heaters should be doing. 20% saving is well worth it over a year... I plan to get one of these heaters for my own workshop and would want to capture some of that wasted heat so i'm following this series very closely...
The first thing I said to myself though when I saw that heat exchanger is that it is far too short for the fast moving air to get a chance to heat the walls. Also inside the pipe only the exhaust gases that are in direct contact with the wall of the pipe (a few mm) will have any effect and the gas down the middle will pass through unaffected, similar to the Leidenfrost effect or laminar flow (but also not really). What you need is a longer section for the gasses to act on but also some disturbance in the gas path (cyclic or zig-zag) so that the gasses touching the wall are kept the hottest that they can be...
It's going to be expensive to do a zig-zag or cyclic path in copper but i've often wondered whether a scaffolding pipe inside a PVC downpipe would work. Scaffolding is about 2" and a 3" downpipe would give you approx. 1.6 litres of water per metre and would be relatively easy to make as long as you needed...
@@smitcher thank you. I'm making an exhaust manifold and passing it through a 210ltr water barrel with a circulation pump. That should do the trick nicely. Cheers J
@ cool. Looking forward to seeing that!
I completely agree with you. And I will only add that electric cars are not salvation at all if batteries continue to be produced in this way and we do not have a more developed system for obtaining clean, cheap electricity, after all, they also use energy produced from something (coal, oil, gas, nuclear), and everyone seems to think that they are powered by wishful thinking.
EVs are much more efficient than anything with an internal combustion engine, that's a proven fact.
As long as the battery or any other of an EVs components are made using renewable energy, then the initial carbon emissions are also low.
Obtaining oil and gas is a massively destructive and polluting process, this is before the refining and transportation of it are considered. Electricity on the other hand can be produced with little or no CO2 emissions, and the delivery system is already in place, as it's via the existing electric grid.
It dumb to say the EVs alone will solve global warming, but the introduction of efficient mass transportation is a start.
There are plenty of other ways to help reduce CO2, like planting millions of trees, but those are often ignored.
Looking at the bigger picture is the way to clarity of mind, and not fixate on something you might personally not like, like EVs.
I agree that there is a lot of destructive processes that affect the environment in battery manufacturing. Big oil on the other hand is still doing atrocious things to the environment. Both I think can be improved to be low impact and clean. It's the ease of recycle ability that makes me lean towards a combustion engine as it's mainly metal whilst a battery isn't so simple to turn back into a new battery and also the sustainable energy system isn't as sustainable as it appears if you've seen Michael Moore's documentary 'the human planet'. Cheers J
@@johnnodge4327 It's not true that I don't like EVs. I really like their acceleration and larger cargo space, the possibility of using them as an emergency power supply at home or a mobile silent generator for welding machines or other tools. I do up to 100 km on a daily basis and an electric car would be a great solution for me if I had solar panels at home, otherwise it doesn't make financial and ecological sense. Not to mention that I won't earn enough money for such a car for 3 years, saving every penny from my paycheck. But what if the temperature drops to -20 C (and the batteries need to be heated) and I have to drive 200 km somewhere pulling a small, only 700 kg trailer? Of course, another transport option is out of the question because that's why I have my own car available at any time of day or night. And the most important question is how can I fix it myself at home when even manufacturers do not want to fix damaged batteries and this creates a problem of thousands of electric cars in scrap yards because they had a minor accident (Germany/Sweden/Finland/Denmark)? Even in Poland no one wants to touch them, and in Gniezno there are specialists who do miracles with cars after accidents. I can do a major engine overhaul myself, of course by sending the elements for regeneration, but I do not have to take a car with a combustion engine to a special workshop.
I do not know how it is in other countries, but access to public chargers does not exist, not to mention that it is 3 times more expensive there than charging at home. My sister lives in Warsaw (the capital of Poland) and has 20 minutes to the nearest charger by tram!!!! The power grid leaves a lot to be desired, only 5 years ago the power line to my house was modernized (3x240v standard in Poland), after more than 10 years of me asking for some repairs and calling the power emergency service because the voltage dropped below 200v. And now imagine what about charging trucks and, for example, electric tractors for farmers? I'm not an engineer, but I have electrical qualifications and I know what expensive solutions and strong power lines are needed for this. And I will mention that Poland is the largest copper miner in the world.
I won't mention the power plants themselves because in Poland we still don't have nuclear power, we produce from coal and gas. Supposedly, panels and windmills give something there, but it will get very interesting because many houses are switching to heat pumps and the demand for electricity will increase when it's dark and cold and probably windless. Not to mention that everyone will plug in an electric car in the evening to charge. Read a bit about how electricity production looks like for the entire country, it is impossible to change the amount of electricity produced in a split second (even in an hour). When you look at an individual house, the values are tiny, 6 kW per day. Unless I go to weld something or turn on some other tools. Where I work, 60 kW is used per minute of production of one plastic bumper for a passenger car.
And what about industry, construction, emergency services and agriculture or the military? Recently we had a huge flood in Poland in the Silesian region and I wonder how people would charge their cars now since the network is not fully operational yet and that was over a month ago. Why doesn't the military use electric tanks or fighter jets or electric-powered missiles (ion engines are not a myth)? How long would it take a farmer to charge a tractor that was in the field for 16 hours and had to plow 200 hectares per day? Do you know how much energy it takes to literally drag an anchor (plow) driven into the ground?
Why aren't the huge ships that transport these wonderful electric cars between continents powered by electricity? Is it because the energy density in lithium batteries is too low??????
And as for CO2, I understand that you don't mean carbon dioxide but other toxic compounds such as nitrates, sulphates, ring benzoates, soot and other dusts? Because everyone keeps trumpeting about CO2 emissions that nature can handle perfectly well (all you had to do was pay attention to photosynthesis in primary school) but no one mentions plastic production, no one is trying to introduce the trend of using a smartphone for 10 years, or a car for 25 because many things can be repaired but why replace them? Passenger planes have to fly for at least 25 years and that's possible because no airline would buy a plane for 3-5 years.
@@johnnodge4327 the CO2 we have already released into the atmosphere weighs several times more than all of the plants currently on earth combined. 450 Gt of plants vs 1500 Gt of Human released CO2 only since the beginning of the industrial revolution.
Also when trees due they rot and release the CO2. Same if they're burned. The only solution with them is to preserve the wood by doing something like burying it or building something out of it.
At last someone who speaks sense about climate change. Many, many years ago (before the fanatics took over) I had to study such things as the way climate has changed over millions of years. Firstly we are coming out of an ice age, that cannot be denied but conveniently, seems to be ignored. The suns effects on the planet is enormous, solar flares affect the planet hugely.
The planets rotational axis is changing, partly due to the pumping of ground water. It's estimated that this is around 80cm over the past 20 years. This has an enormous effect in changes of temperature.
No the scam of Net Zero is exactly that. All governments are desperate to raise tax revenues to squander on their pet projects. 'Climate Change' is a great vehicle to do this!

This is probably an off the wall suggestion but have you thought of running the exhaust through a thermal store cylinder instead, they are meant to be filled with hot water not exhaust gases but you can take different feeds off for heating or hot water but they arent cheap
Excellent last 10 minutes, agreed with it all!
@@johngibson8900 yes I'm thinking of using a large barrel of water as a thermal mass storage for the next upgrade. Thank you so much. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle - Water sounds logical enough, but how about simply setting the exhaust in a metal container filled with an appropriate amount of sand, while running the exhaust ports into and out of the metal cantainer filled with sand(?) The metal container of sand, of course, would/should act as an ultra-cheap and hassle-free passive heat sink. However, I could see using water over sand "if" the application is better suited for taking advantage of the steller heat absorbing qualities/efficiencies of water(!?)
@@__WJK__ I already tried that. The sand is a poor conductor but works well above 600°c which the exhaust does not produce. Cheers J

Thanks for all the info! I was always told CO gas is denser than air, and found out about it being lighter just now. You are also very correct about your battery being half the capacity rated. Note that they sometimes have a K factor, the faster you discharge the lower the capacity according to a formula with that factor. Mostly lead acid batteries are rated at 20h discharges to meet its capacity. Using only 50% will drastically increase its life. You know what you're talking about.

A point on the heat pump Heat Geek installs are averaging 430% efficiency and my install is sitting at 610% so far this heating season. With the OVO 15p tariff that works out to 3.5 or 2.5p per Kwh.

@@joshuadelisle So the average for heat geeks would be for the whole heating season so its the SCOP figure.

Interesting, but what was your capital outlay (in total!) to achieve that? A customer of mine spent £54,000 on a ground source HP, solar panels, and Tesla batteries. However, I worked out that £54,000 would pay his entire energy bill for 18 years minimum. And he has already had to pay for work as the equipment went out of warranty and failed.

Hey Joshua - thanks for another great video, when I see a new video of yours in queue I get all inspired about my new diesel heater project ! This one is no exception, I think the heat lost through the exhaust is horrible, I have a standalone-radiator (not plumbed in) in my workshop, my intention was just exhaust the gases into one side via the lower port of the radiator, then output via the other lower side and straight through the wall to the outside. My intention is just to use the gases in the radiator, not exchange the heat into water prior to exhausting outside. I figure as long as the gases can escape there will be no pressure build up and the hottest gases will remain present at the top of the radiator thus heating the workshop - I'd love your (and other watchers / commenters) views on this.
@@orbepa thank you. I've seen a few people do that. The main issue is cleaning the inside. If you restrict the gas flow even with a long exhaust it affects the combustion which is why I had a carbon build up this time round and not previously. If you do want to run it through a radiator, one of those old cast iron steam radiators would be ideal if you can find one. They are big which will allow good flow. Cheers J

wouldn't it be easier to put a coil of copper tubing inside a barrel filled with water then have the exhausted go trough the copper pipe? seems easy to make and gives you a barrel full of hot water allowing you to store some for later use!
@@kingjustjefgames723 I'm thinking exactly that. A big tank like an oil drum with an exhaust coil inside it to heat the water. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle
You could see if you can find a second hand single or better still a twin coil hot water cylinder. This will already have nice efficient coils inside, as that's how a boiler would heat the water. The heated water could then be stored in the cylinder, ready to pump around a radiator system.
I agree with you 100% regarding the "man made global warming" issue. CO2 is plant food! OK...now that I've pissed off people, let me point out a flaw in your floor heater. The pipe should be embedded in grout or cement, with the insulation only on the bottom in order to give a more even heat distribution, and more efficient transfer of heat to the surface. Cheers from Winnipeg.
You're right. Cheers J
A few things: firstly; yes human made CO2 is very small, but methane pollution caused by natural drilling etc creates more heating than all the CO2 put together; add that to human created deforestation, pollution creates more heating. On a different subject if you were to charge the storage with PV panels &/or wind turbine the running cost would be even smaller.
True but methane only lasts 10 years before it degrades. Cheers J
Human made CO2 is 33% of current CO2 levels. It's not small.

The other thing I find supremely annoying is that due to the "energy crisis" fuel prices went up for whatever reason. And our response was to dramatically reduce the amount of energy we use. We turned things off, deliberately bought things to produce cheap heat, stuck solar panels our our homes and batteries in our lofts to use cheaper off-peak energy, worked from home to cut down fuel costs, etc.
So what energy companies did was increase the one part of our fuel bills we have no control of - the standing charge.
And all we did was shrug and pay it. There is literally no reason for our fuel prices to ever decrease ever again. We've proven we can pay this, and are willing to spend less money on other things to compensate. I wouldn't put it past them to introduce the threat of power interruptions as a way to make us do something beneficial to them.
Since either there's plenty of power/resources and no problems at all, this is just being done out of greed. Or the system is severely broken, has been broken for decades, and all the quick fixes and patches we've not noticed are starting to fail. It's hard to tell if you're part of the band playing on the Titanic or not until the water's around your neck, but then it's too late.
Very well said. Cheers J
EROEI - The costs of getting resources are rising as they become more scarce. Take oil for example. Now we are drilling in 3km of sea water. it's dangerous / risky and less investors and insurance companies are willing to take the risk. For those that do the pay offs are massive. But when it goes wrong, who pays??? Take Deepwater Horizon for example. Wind and Solar are coming down in price but are not as energy dense as oil. And the one thing you cannot do is reduce the shareholder dividends and CEO bonus.
UK: The richest 350 individuals and families together hold a combined wealth of £795bn - a sum larger than the annual GDP of Poland. Furthermore, the net worth of the twenty richest people in the country has more than doubled in the past decade. If all household wealth had increased at the same rate, it would equate to over an extra £250,000, on average, for every household in Britain.

37:50 not sure if you get to this but wouldn’t it make more sense to run the in floor heating through something that isn’t such a great insulator? Like you want something that will absorb the heat and conduct it away. Instead you’ve just run the hot water through an insulated loop! Probably running it directly through concrete or some sort of radiator ( that I’m sure you could cook up ) would work better
Maybe a big water bladder or a flat tank. Something that has both a big heat capacity and conducts heat efficiently. The foam insulation has neither and the aluminum top will probably not work fast enough to pull the heat from the water passing through
@@chir0pter you're right but it definitely needs insulation underneath otherwise you lose up to 50% of the energy into the ground and it doesn't come back. However running the pipes through a concrete floor covering as a mass heater is definitely a good idea. Cheers J

Hi, another really good video that has raised several interesting points.
I have installed one of these diesel heaters in my 10 By 16 foot shed which is built of timber ( wood purchased before prices went daft!) its fully insulated with rockwool.
The heater has the exhaust passing through a steel radiator and is piped using 22mm copper, thus extracting as much heat as possible from the exhaust. ( well not all of it by any means! )
There is a fine line as to how much heat one can recover before causing problems with the operation of the heater as you will be fully aware of yourself.
The silencer you have used is next to useless as it is basically just an expansion vessel with no baffles at all, several videos on RUclips show that it is difficult to reduce the noise substantially, also is can be dangerouse to reduce the exhaust temperature too far and causing other problems.
Keep up the great content and the many subjects that you cover.
I agree. I think cooling the long exhaust caused the burn to produce that carbon build up by restricting the gas flow. I'll be doing something different in my next experiment. Cheers J
You speak my language , you a poet for the enlightened man .
You're very kind. Cheers J
Thanks for the video Joshua very interesting. I live on a house boat and I use a diesel heater to warm the boat.

You Asked: If CO2 Is Only 0.04% of the Atmosphere, How Does it Drive Global Warming?
A: Earth absorbs energy from sunlight, but as the surface warms, it also emits energy in the form of infrared radiation (which we know of as heat) out into space. Water vapor and CO2, however, act like a cap, making it more difficult for Earth to get rid of this energy. Without gases like these to absorb the energy, our planet’s average surface temperature would have been near zero degrees Fahrenheit.
About 99 percent of the atmosphere is made of oxygen and nitrogen, which cannot absorb the infrared radiation the Earth emits. Of the remaining 1 percent, the main molecules that can absorb infrared radiation are CO2 and water vapor, because their atoms are able to vibrate in just the right way to absorb the energy that the Earth gives off. After these gases absorb the energy, they emit half of it back to Earth and half of it into space, trapping some of the heat within the atmosphere. This trapping of heat is what we call the greenhouse effect. Because of the greenhouse effect created by these trace gases, the average temperature of the Earth is around 15°C, or 59°F, which allows for life to exist.
CO2 makes up only about 0.04% of the atmosphere, and water vapor can vary from 0 to 4%. But while water vapor is the dominant greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, it has *windows* that allow some of the infrared energy to escape without being absorbed. In addition, water vapor is concentrated lower in the atmosphere, whereas CO2 mixes well all the way to about 50 kilometers up. The higher the greenhouse gas, the more effective it is at trapping heat from the Earth’s surface.
The burning of fossil fuels affects the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Before the industrial revolution, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was about 288 ppm. We have now reached about 414 ppm, so we are on the way to doubling the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by the end of this century. Scientists say that if CO2 doubles, it could raise the average global temperature of the Earth between two and five degrees Celsius. We are already increasing the amount of energy that bounces back to the Earth. Because of the greenhouse effect, this is causing global warming with its many destructive impacts.
Both water vapor and CO2 are responsible for global warming, and once we increase the CO2 in the atmosphere, the oceans warm up, which inevitably triggers an increase in water vapor. But while we have no way to control water vapor, we can control CO2. And because we are increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by continuing to burn fossil fuels, even in relatively small amounts compared to the entire mass of the atmosphere, we are disturbing the entire heat balance of the planet.
For more information on how carbon dioxide traps heat, why water vapor isn’t the culprit, and answers to several other interesting questions, check out this post: How Exactly Does Carbon Dioxide Cause Global Warming?
Yochanan Kushnir is a research professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, in the Division of Oceans and Climate Physics
Thank you but I didn't ask that. it is the % that humans have made compared to natural CO2 that is telling. The crabon isn't the issue its the other factors of heat absorption and lack of water absorption from destruction of ecosystems that are a much bigger issue. cheers J
I'm guessing that you're referencing the claim about 0.0012% of the atmosphere is human produced CO2 which you get from 0.04% CO2 current levels and "3% of that from humanity"?
I can't find a primary source for that 3% figure, do you have one? The closest I've got is an Australian news broadcaster and subsequent social media posts referencing that broadcast. It seems this is a typo/decimal place shift of the number you referenced which is a 33% increase in atmospheric CO2 levels since 1850? So it's actually 33% (of current atmospheric CO2 420ppm, or 0.04%. which is 138ppm or 0.014%) from humanity. Not 0.0012%.
Also, saying it's a small number doesn't say anything about how much of the effect it has contributed. The dose makes the poison. A 0.00001% change in botulinum content in a person would take them from healthy to death. The sensitivity of a system to an input isn't necessarily linear, meaning that small changes can cause big responses. An example being a hard ball balanced on another hard ball, where a miniscule disturbance might result in it falling much farther. You can't just say "it's a small amount so it's not that". The question we need to answer is "what is the sensitivity of the system to CO2 levels?" and as @cpcnw eluded, the current evidence suggests it's pretty sensitive!
Albedo of roads is 0.1 vs forest at 0.15 and 0.4 for concrete. Making a ~5% increase in heat absorption between replacing a forest with a road. and roads account for 0.15% of land area. 0.04% of total area. Not factoring in cloud cover. 0.04%*5% is 0.002% difference in how much heat is absorbed. And that's ignoring the decrease in heat absorbed from concrete vs forest. There are heat domes around urban areas due to this effect and it does contribute to global warming, but not massively.
Forests also suck up huge amount of water releasing it through the leaf pores and increase local humidity levels, which decrease local temperatures, but if the local temperature is over a comfortable level then since RH is ~100% people feel uncomfortably hot because they can't loose heat by sweating. They still sweat, it just stays liquid on them as the air capacity for water vapour is already saturated. This humidity condenses in the atmosphere forming clouds that both reflect heat back out of the atmosphere, and act like a blanket reflecting the earths heat back at it. It's a double edged sword. Whether it heats or cools depends on if it's day or night and what the earths local surface is covered with.
@@Leo99929 In the end it does not matter because when Net zero is finalised, we'll all be dead anyway, it's a scam and has been from day one. Regardless of co2 in the atmosphere, what good will it do when food production stops, electricity is switched off along with gas and the fuel pumps are left to run dry. It's all nice and fuzzy debating it, but in the end we will suffer because of a few, which by the way, has been implemented over thousands of years. IF you care for your kids (if indeed you have any) you will stop with the debating and get onboard with the rest of us in trying to stop this net zero madness ;)
Hi there
Great video.Definitely one of the cheapest and safer fuels to use.
Just a thought could you directly pipe the exhaust gasses through a radiator then to outside.
Maybe with full metal larger pipework and an old cast radiator.
Inlet at the top, outlet at the bottom.
This might get to temperatures like your heat exchanger body.
Then you may be able to run your generator for less time.
Then you could cage it off like you would a fire. To stop you burning your fingers 😂

It's certainly something many people do to their heater, however I like everything to be serviceable and a radiator would be hard to clean on the inside. Cheers J
Thanks for the fantastic video! Also thanks for having thecourage to give that little explanation at the end. There were some good studies i saw 5 years ago that showed water vapourin cloyds had a huge impact on warming. It also showed historically this had a high correlation with high energy cosmic particles from space. I think thismight complement your perspective on how loss of top soil is also reducing the buffering of rain runoff.. Keep up the great work.
Interesting I'll look into that. Cheers J
Also HHO is reported to be good at decarbonizing motors. I think you need a pretty high flow rate though so it probably isn't worth building such a unit for expressly that purpose. Not to mention they can be Be hella dangerous. They are useful for quite afew other things though, some they'de like you to think weren't physically possible....
As always, so MUCH goodness in this video! Going to have to watch again and think about how to heat the garage this winter and the shed to keep warm weather plants alive and well.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
MAO MAO🤠👌
Thank you. Cheers J
I am from the country and moved to the city for work. I agree with EVERYTHING you said in the last 10 minutes of this video. Our government likes to think we are all mindless followers that believe anything the government tell us. Unfortunately there is far too many that do.
Moving on, I installed a 2KW diesel heater in my girlfriends car. She works nights and in the winter can be dangerous to be in a parking lot with the car running and her outside scrapping the frost/ice/snow off the windows. I installed the Bluetooth equipped heater as it gives me more options. It can start/stop on its own and maintain set point or start at a certain hour. Can be controlled from a hand held remote, cell phone, or the control panel. Now she never has to get into a cold car or scrap off the snow/ice.
I also have a 8KW unit that I am setting up to heat the apartment if the power goes out. Batteries, solar panels I can move into place if needed.
I am using diesel as the fuel source. Not cheap here in Canada. (Carbon tax). Ya that government grab thing.
I would love to move back to the country but I am getting up in age and the girlfriend doesn't like the country lifestyle. So I do what I can to keep her happy and safe.
Love your videos and am looking forward to seeing what you come up with for exhaust heat recovery. Later.
Your channel is amazing. Thanks for these tangents/rants it is quite interesting
@@akosv96 thank you so much. I think I see things differently to most people but I do believe that's what makes life interesting. Cheers J
I love your videos, and this was a great experiment. You could try increasing the surface area of the air path in your heat exchanger with fins, but I think you'd be better off chopping the top and bottom off and making an end-plate with a bunch more surface area. Also something to help might be to use square tubes because squares have more perimeter vs volume compared to round tubes. It will make drilling holes more complex though. Maybe just doing your longer run of pipe will do the trick better.
Thank you. Cheers J
That carbon buildup can be massively reduced if you increase the air into it making it more lean making it burn more efficiently.
I think the long exhaust was a factor as it was set on maximum rpm. Having a short exhaust I think has increased the efficiency of the burn but not the recovery. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisleI just finished watching the video I think the main issue is heat loss through the exhaust so it would make sense to build a massive water to air heat exchanger that is the shortest run possible to not effect the efficiency of the burn, as you stated in the video an EGR cooler would be best but personally i think you can DIY something better with a two part heat exchanger.
Water is funnily enough not a great heat conductor at room temperatures but once it heats up past a certain point it's properties change into a conductor of heat so it'll transfer the heat of the water more efficiently, I would say get rid of the entire hot air portion of the heater & exchange that for a water heating setup then have that plumbed into your DIY EGR heat exchanger for the exhaust which would be a bunch of small pipes that equal if not are greater than the exhaust then have that run outside.
