Currently I'm in a process of making a smaller more compact press. New videos coming soon. After i make this one ill try and make Hydraulic one. Currently I'm gathering resources and fonts for that project.
You could make enough in a day to last a few hours at night. But you'd need to eat extra food for all the energy burned. Would it be worth it? Not denying the health benefits.
This ideas are welcome. I'm currently working on a new press smaller more compact version. And ill try to improve some of the things you have mentioned.
I don't understand what you are actually saying...but i made all of these in my spare time. Never i had decidet and did that all day. Just whenever i had time.
A RUclipsr i watched put used coffee grounds in and let the mix ferment for 2 months. His bricks burnt hotter and longer than others because of the oil in the coffee grounds.
wow bro, they sell them press logs for 78¢ down at the co-op, cuz that's one labor intensive system you have...I don't know how much your time is worth to you, but for 4.68, I'd say you can recover at least 3 hours a day.
One time i added buckwheat flour. And mixture didn't press nice. It kinda shoot out of those holes. But i think you could add sugar or oatmeal because it isn't in dusty form. I found out it goes like this: If it burns and you can press it, u can use it :D Sorry for late reply.
@@Triwiwer No hurry in a reply. I too am watching RUclips VIDEOS! LOL That flour could still be used - maybe with less water in the mix? For faster drying maybe use alcohol instead of water? Ya know, a cup for that, TWO cups for you? May take a tad longer to make the stuff but boy oh boy would you be happy MAKING the stuff!
@@Triwiwer I noticed that after I posted the comment. I made a compound lever out of some 2 by * lumber and it works well. An arbor press, essentially what you were using is another idea. if a person just wanted to buy one. I have a couple electric motors laying around, think I might salvage a few pulleys and come up with some steampunk looking brick maker.
if we use rice-husk, instead of sawdust, what will be the proportion of ricehusk and water..??? is this idea good...?? is it gonna be more efficient and better than coal, for burning purposes ? cheers
How long does it take for making those three brikets once you prepared your mixture? And hoe long does it burn? I have made an pneumatic press wich a manually fill with Horse manure. Cubic blocks of 9x9x9 come out in about 2 minutes including storing at the drying spot. Our brikets burn about 45 - 60 minutes. Just wondering If I put more effort in producing, the work/burn ratio is improving.
did you use a 1/4" drill bit to drill your holes in your fill tube to drain the water or are they smaller and what size. Its an neat. plan on building one. Thanks
The hole size is 1/4" actually it is 6mm but ok even 1/4 should be ok ;) If holes are under 10mm you should be ok there won't be 2 much material leaking out ;) And thanks!
Results are nice, but who has so much time spend making them briquettes? In my opinion it is not worthy to make them as it is too much time consuming. If you would automated some processes it would probably be more efficient...
Thank you for your comment. When fully dried, they have less than 4% water content but should be stored in a dry place so they don't pull moisture from damp air if they are stored outside or in a damp place.
What do you mean by spec? Dimensions maybe? You can use wood chips, and paper an glen that together. It would still be ok ;) Tried that and it have worked for me.
+Mark W Actually all of the water i use is rain water. And i don't trow water away, i use same water for week or 2 than i use this water for watering flowers. :)
so i need for 40kg of sawdust and 60kg of paper!???!!!! is in not posible to make them without paper:( i have sawdust but i dont have tones of paper to make this kind of briquttes
+Catalin Albini If you compress anything enough, even "dry" sawdust (which has some moisture content or it would spontaneously combust), it will stick together to form some sort of lump which you can burn in a stove. "Suck it and see" is the way with amateur briquette making so have a go! Good luck!
If u compress dry sawdust with enough force, round 70 or 80 tons or more it wil stick together becouse of tanin in wood wil make kind of glue and stuck together particles. Atleast thats what experts told me.
how long do you let the newly pressed "logs" dry before they useable ? I saw whole sheets of paper in the mix ..have you thought about adding a paper shredder ?
It looks to me as though it will be much easier to dry the round briquettes than rectangular ones. Perhaps a larger hole in the middle would assist drying and burning too - ? Good job though. I have a woodburner and am building a cardboard shredder and press.
+Mark W I don't do that in a way like: i start and than make 500 of logs. I just do that from time to time. So i probably do 15- 25 logs a day depends of how much time i have.
Yea i would add video of log burning, but i actually don't have this press anymore. But i can tell you these logs burn completely. All that was left was some fine dust. If you meant they are hard to catch fire, i never experienced that with these logs. And i never tried to mix any wax or oil to mixture. I once tried to add flour i had left and went bad, but result was kinda explosive. When i was pressing mixture exploded and shot out those fine holes, made a big big mess. I'm still planing on making a hydraulic version of press but I'm currently trying to find financial resources to execute this project.
They burn for approximately 2h each...usually i contaminate briquets with wood so i start the fire and put on 2 or 3 briquets and on top i fill up the wood. And than furnace is burning round 6-7h.
Wood gasifier,pyrolysis is the term you are looking for,I believe. That gas produced is methanol.Wood gas. That is what runs your internal combustion engine that spins your generator,producing the electricity.
Hey, sorry for late reply! I really have no idea how would rice-husk work, because where i live we have lots and lots of sawdust and no rice-husk. But in my experience anything that burns and soaks up the water and can be blend is ok to use. Ive tried making some with tree leafs and it was just ok. Maby ill do video on that in autumn.
I wouldn't use pine needles. With pine wood you get too much creosote build up in the pipes and chimney. I assume you would get the same from the needles. I did see a video on RUclips where a guy used dried leaves he raked up in the fall and that seemed to work out fine for him. I wouldn't use maple leaves. They are hard to keep burning in pile by the road so I think they would be hard to burn pressed into a brick.
Thanks for the video clip very interesting and informative. What is the center pipe for? Can you press without it? I have a hydraulic garage press with electric motor it can press up to 20 tons I plan to use it!
Thanks for suggestion but, entirely new designee with automatic hydraulic press is currently being assembled. So at this point i don't see to much point for further improvement of this press.
Great video, I want to make me one. I have access to sawdust that comes from a sawmill ( little bit bigger chips) do u have to use that much paper, and if using a hydraulic cylinder what's the optimal working pressure?
I add paper that holds sawdust together. But, if you are making fully automatic and hydraulic one i recommend that u try and do it in such way u will not need to add any paper. How much pressure u need...cant tell you that atm. Im testing that out and its a try and error thing. Got up to 8t atm and its not quite what i want. When i get that just right and i finish automatic hydraulic press ill upload video with all details and instructions on how to. :D Thanks for comment ad have a nice day :D
Actually this projest is currently on long standby because i dont have time for that kind of project. Parts for new press are in my garage atm. But when will i make complete machine stays the question. Pryorities in life....Hopefully soon, im shure one day it will be done and for shure ill post entire thing on this channel. Thanks for comment.

Physical effort, to complete briquette rate is quite high.
Wow.. That's great storage. Well done 👏👏👏
I love the idea. But get an electric hydraulic press. That's a lot of work
Currently I'm in a process of making a smaller more compact press. New videos coming soon. After i make this one ill try and make Hydraulic one. Currently I'm gathering resources and fonts for that project.

I'm really sorry but i don't speak Spanish and neither does any of my friends so i really cant do that.

HMMM... Do this or cut wood, I'm torn. Ha ha. Great way to use otherwise waste, love it... I'm gonna make an automatic one now, woo..o
Nice plan you have there. Would be cool if we could see your project.
To press briquettes, you dont need: water and paper etc... just saw dust ;)
And tons and tons of pressure.
cool. almost sounds like jerry garcia playing guitar. what band ?
it must take you about 15 mins for one log ! and then 6 months to dry them correctly
And that's just your opinion.
what is the title of the background music?
Suggestions
Cap or plug off top of drain pipe?.
Make funnel to add the pulp
This ideas are welcome. I'm currently working on a new press smaller more compact version. And ill try to improve some of the things you have mentioned.
@@Triwiwer thanks for the feedback of my feedback...lol
My father would of loved this bless his soul.
Do you just air dry these?
Yea i air dry them preferably on the sun.
ratio 2:3
Do you not have a lot of time in making them lot that or you just some thing to take up your time .um just asking
I don't understand what you are actually saying...but i made all of these in my spare time. Never i had decidet and did that all day. Just whenever i had time.
Thats what asking , lol I have hard time unstanding my self days
bio gas bags
space bag vacuum seal compressor into propane tanks
Have no idea what you are saying.
A RUclipsr i watched put used coffee grounds in and let the mix ferment for 2 months. His bricks burnt hotter and longer than others because of the oil in the coffee grounds.

FAQ in description will provide you an answer.
Sound

Wouldn't drilling a hole in a log be faster and achieve the same outcome? Great music.
Center hole and that pipe in the middle are there on purpose. More in FAQ in the video description.
Ha ha ha to raczej zabawa a nie produkcja brykietu na zimę, pewnie nie dasz rady wyprodukować przez lato dość brykietu na zimę.
Add coffee grain waste - great binder, and smells great too !
Hello, how best can I make Briquettes that are smoke free and last long? Please advice. Thanks
They last for quite some time and burn very well.
How do u make the briquettes press
Pretty creative
I really really want to see how they burn! please make a video
i will make video soon!
Where does the water go? You don’t show it?
I reuse the water. It drains in a conteiner under the press.
So how to age(dry) ?
Ever think about adding in sugar and perhaps oatmeal?
Coffee grounds?
Sugar is a binder.
Logs would make it smell like cotton candy LOL
One time i added buckwheat flour. And mixture didn't press nice. It kinda shoot out of those holes. But i think you could add sugar or oatmeal because it isn't in dusty form. I found out it goes like this: If it burns and you can press it, u can use it :D

Ya know, a cup for that, TWO cups for you?
May take a tad longer to make the stuff but boy oh boy would you be happy MAKING the stuff!
what about using diesel instead water? or use kerosine?
U can try but i think it would burn to much.
why not use a cement mixer?
I think you could use cement mixer, its a really great idea! But i actually don't own one. So thats why i don't use it :D
lol i have a fruit press, i will try that, it has a screw down press and works well on fruit. The bricks would be round though!
With all that wood leaning on the wall, why not make a compound lever and and avoid dropping that bottle jack on your toes?
fxsrider bottle jack is weldet on to a press. And that wood is quite expensive and used to make some cool wooden bowls. Its high quality wood.
@@Triwiwer I noticed that after I posted the comment. I made a compound lever out of some 2 by * lumber and it works well.

An old power steering pump and a ram?
Umständlich, langsam und macht viel Schmutz in der Werkstatt!
Did you ever make the automatic hydraulic one? Link if you did please.
if we use rice-husk, instead of sawdust, what will be the proportion of ricehusk and water..???
is this idea good...?? is it gonna be more efficient and better than coal, for burning purposes ?
cheers
Do you burn these in your home fire box or out in a shop/garage?
I burn them in my home central heating stove.
thank you so much for this video. I am sure your idea of using a jack will come in very handy with our briquette project in Zambia.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you will share your project on one of social media.
How long does it take for making those three brikets once you prepared your mixture? And hoe long does it burn?
I have made an pneumatic press wich a manually fill with Horse manure. Cubic blocks of 9x9x9 come out in about 2 minutes including storing at the drying spot. Our brikets burn about 45 - 60 minutes.
Just wondering If I put more effort in producing, the work/burn ratio is improving.

well done.... I wonder how they burn....
Thanks. They burn great.
Have you tried using s garburator to shred the paper?
Nop my way works for me. Thanks for comment.
what for is the midle pipe? (sry if my eng is bad)
Center or the middle pipe is for guiding the piston. And it has holes drilled, so water can drain from inside as well.
Triwiwer DoTsI
Ty, i will try to build somthing similar, i have a 12 T jack and i think it s gona work just fine.
Good luck with your project!
And if i can be any of a help in cuter just tell ;)
Results are nice, but who has so much time spend making them briquettes? In my opinion it is not worthy to make them as it is too much time consuming. If you would automated some processes it would probably be more efficient...
Read FAQ.... and if u look everytihng whit that kind of attitude, nothing is worth the time even comment you wrote.
when you burn these how long do they burn and how hot do you think they get?
They burn approximately 2h each..how hot they burn, i have no idea. Probably really hot, coz there is just fine ash left after they totally burn out.
Great stuff...do.you burn these solely?or.use other wood as well?
They burn solely quite well. So you could use them without wood, coal,...
@@Triwiwer great thanks very neat setup
Nasty noise, it would have been much better if you explained what you were doing.
What water content do the compressed logs have?
Thank you
Thank you for your comment. When fully dried, they have less than 4% water content but should be stored in a dry place so they don't pull moisture from damp air if they are stored outside or in a damp place.
Thank you and have a blessed week
How much time does it take them to dry? In what conditions?
Thx
looks just like the giant swimming pool of pulp at paper plant i worked at once they made the recycled brown paper towels that suck there lol
Precisa de cola para preparar o material do briquete?
This looks like something i may try in the future.
Do you happen to have a video of them being lit and how they burn?
Thanks
The video is coming up soon. Just editing is taking longer then i thought it will.
Good video thanks. But burning coloured paper releases toxins which is bad.
Are you a self hating Muslim?
Haider Khan Color paper in made with non-toxic SOY based inks.
Не одного комета на руском. Очень жаль. Скучно, долго не уверено.
Also is your jack 8 or 10 ton
It is 10 ton. But press is build to stand up to 30 tons ;)
I would like the spec. on your press. Can you use wood chips instead of saw dust. I can get lots of wood chips,
What do you mean by spec? Dimensions maybe? You can use wood chips, and paper an glen that together. It would still be ok ;) Tried that and it have worked for me.
if you do sell to which the value of sales
A lot of wasted water.
+Mark W Actually all of the water i use is rain water. And i don't trow water away, i use same water for week or 2 than i use this water for watering flowers. :)
Good to here you understand the value of water, good going.
how long will one log burn or last
2-3h each
+Amish Electrician about 20 minutes each
Can this process be follow for rice husk also
so i need for 40kg of sawdust and 60kg of paper!???!!!! is in not posible to make them without paper:( i have sawdust but i dont have tones of paper to make this kind of briquttes

@@Triwiwer lignin. Comes from the cambia layer(sap) of the tree.
High pressure is what is used to make and extrude wood pellets for pellet stoves.
By far the best bricks I've seen so far! But seriously you need to clean up your place
Why? Is just water and paper..
@@gattonpc out of the other brick makers
Hehe its a messy business :D
how long do you let the newly pressed "logs" dry before they useable ? I saw whole sheets of paper in the mix ..have you thought about adding a paper shredder ?

From start to finish, how long does it take you to turn out one production of logs?Start your mix, to , stack your logs.
+Mark W I don't do that in a way like: i start and than make 500 of logs. I just do that from time to time. So i probably do 15- 25 logs a day depends of how much time i have.
Ok!
you make these briquettes for sale or own use
Own use
do you have a preference to how fine the saw dust are that you use, will a briquette made from sander dust(powder) burn hotter?
Carlo Marra I don't have any preference, i use any sawdust it piles up in my garage.
Using a funnel would be smart! The press an eveything around is sticky = dirty.
how did you make this?
some welding, some machining, some pure logic ;) Its really not that dificult.
probably cheaper to buy it ready made unless you have the items in hand already.
How long do they burn?
Hi guys...thinking of starting up stutuff ilke this but really need proper mentoring !!!! anyone there????
I'll do it too 😃
Built like a tank.
Force is 12t and so it needs to be strong.
how long for them to dry,about 3 months?
Thy dry round 2 weeks in summer if it's nice and hot. But round month in regular weather.
I do the paper first using hot water, it emulsifies better
Be nice to see one of these burn. Most comments on paper/sawdust logs is that they are hard to burn if no added veggie oil or something waxy?
Yea i would add video of log burning, but i actually don't have this press anymore. But i can tell you these logs burn completely. All that was left was some fine dust. If you meant they are hard to catch fire, i never experienced that with these logs. And i never tried to mix any wax or oil to mixture.

I'm still planing on making a hydraulic version of press but I'm currently trying to find financial resources to execute this project.
@michael knowlden you could try that. Please tell me results. But if bricks are really dry i had no problem lighting them up.
I've found the less ingredients, the better they burn.
They burn for approximately 2h each...usually i contaminate briquets with wood so i start the fire and put on 2 or 3 briquets and on top i fill up the wood. And than furnace is burning round 6-7h.
Hi Triwiwer, are your blender made from two alternator fans?
Carlo Marra Indeed 2 alternator fans ;)
Got a labor saver suggestion. Why dont you make an eccentric cam for your drill and let it do the work of running the jack lever??
very dangerous the piston system, better weld the jack to piston.
Jack is welded to the frame :D
They burn for approximately 2h each.
Wow. Great job man
how long will it takes to get dry enough?
It takes about 14-20 days. To be completely dry. And it depends on the weather if its sunny they will dry faster.
thank you !
razvanon Ur welcome! Glad i could help :D
Have you ever considered using a cement mixer to blend your mix?
I think it would work. But method i used produces nicely blended and shredded pulp and finer end result.
Thanks for comment!
The center hole from the pipe lets the brick burn more efficiently. You can do it with out it, it also dries faster with it in there. Hope this helps
Very good hope they burn well . Could be used for producing gas to run spark engine driven generator .
Indeed they burn well. Thanks for comment
Wood gasifier,pyrolysis is the term you are looking for,I believe.
That gas produced is methanol.Wood gas.
That is what runs your internal combustion engine that spins your generator,producing the electricity.
recipe?

could you then take those bricks and make them into Charcoal ?
Probably it would work.

Nice. How long does one of your log last burning? Well done job :) Maurice
It burns for 2h each. Thanks!
Thanks ! Maurice :)
pretty cool....how do they burn compared to real wood...i see u have them outside,,,how to they stand up against snow and rain !?
What about incorporating dried leaves or even pine needles if you don't have saw dust?
I wouldn't use pine needles. With pine wood you get too much creosote build up in the pipes and chimney. I assume you would get the same from the needles.

very clever indeed
Once they are lit you can smolder them in an airtight container and it'll turn into charcoal, increasing its energy content in terms of heat value.
