Excellent you make everything look like a piece of cake but in truth its not that easy you have all ready worked every thing for us subscribers Thank you.
@@ThinkingandTinkering yup, but tinkering is so much FUN too! a "penny stove" is such a great simple project, stretching one aluminum can to press fit over the other and everything else, neatness counts. I also like the aluminum can stacking passive convection solar powered room heaters that'll fit to a window, can save a lot on heating bills. there's plenty videos about recycling to make either of those units.
Yellow/orange flame and dark smoke mean lack of oxygen for complete combustion. I currently play on my site with this king of setup. I use copper pipe filled with rock wool insulation. Resist to around 1400C of heat. For now , look working good. I have to increase the air supply for bigger heat output.
Very young I was taught to fold over the top end of the tube to get more light and heat with less sooting of the ceiling. But the 10 year old, in our house, certainly know better than to question things Before following instructions of his elders. If anything of my nature has shown through in these comments, I expect little surprise that all questions were eagerly greeted After the orders were obeyed. It would be interesting to compare the open to the closed top. If I recall correctly, we also used fiberglass window screening with support of, I assume, stainless wire. But the first lighting had to be performed outside to burn off whatever resin was binding the glass. Thanks for bringing back some fond memories.
cheers mate - to be honest this was pretty quick and dirty I was really just exploring the idea - the first one I did used glass but I was unhappy with it - I think I will remake a better version of this
Wow you’re really the best! I’m trying to build the simplest waste oil heater ever, one that doesn’t use an electric fan. One that can burn light and heavy oil.
I've just realised why I like your videos so much - apart from us blokes just like messing about in our sheds - you my friend are the new Blue Peter for adults ( without the sticky back pastic )
I'm writing this by the light and heat of an old Bi Aladdin incandescent mantle lamp. Very cosy. Lamp oil is more highly taxed in the UK. The duty on paraffin has been removed or is much less. I've been using White Spirit/Turpentine Substitute from hardware stores for years. It's easier to get and about the same price or cheaper than paraffin. It's excellent stuff but shop around as prices can vary considerably for the same product from the same manufacturer. Be aware than Clean Spirit from Bartoline is water based and does not burn!
65 years ago my dad came home with the new paraffin heater, what I really remember was him messing with the wick trying to stop it smelling, is the fuel better now. Great work
Carbon fiber is hard to find around my area so I use corrugated cardboard. Packed tight and with the channels running upward, works a treat and cheap as chips.
@@ThinkingandTinkering The other thing I was thinking watching your version ... if you took the bottom off a milk bottle .. would that fit over the can lip and work in place of the mantle? Thinking complete hobo style Also did you try veg oil in that setup? does the carbon have the wicking power to draw enough for a flame?
Argand lamps have a hollow wick that allows air to access the inside as well as the outside of the wick, if you could make one with the annular or tubular wick and ass a glass chimney, it would burn very bright and cleanly. You've given me an idea! I want to make something like this using Argand's principle with vegetable oil.😊
Brilliant ! I made the 4” pipe rocket stove into a grill. I used two 4” T’s and a 4” X4’ threaded pipe. On top I used a 4” ID to 9” flange and bolted it to a charcoal grill. Turned out nice. If you have a email I can send you pictures of it. Cheers!
Been there done that! It does, you can almost double the light from a candle by simply placing a reflector behind it. It was a trick that I learnt all they way back in my Scouting days (mumble) years ago. LOL We made candle holders out of some tin cans worked a treat.
@@musikSkool You act like this is some amazing new innovation. This has existed for hundreds of years. This laughing idiot isn't teaching you anything new. And no, it's not cheaper, you can literally buy a real oil powered hurricane lamp on Amazon for $7.
If you cut both ends out of the bean can & stand it in the middle of a fray bentos pie tin/dish with the holes at the bottom to let the oil through you can top the oil reservoir up easily , works a treat.
Robert i mixed 2 of your demonstration to make a heater the Betty Lamp with 1 wick 22mm and steel mesh with reflector at the back But I used 3 wraps of mesh going around the can with mesh spacers found that the single wick didn't use as much fuel as the one you did around the can just as hot with no waste of heat better control once the flame wick was adjusted correct have a go your self it's one you have not done
nice one mate and thank you for sharing - I will give it a go - tbh I love it when folks improve on what I did - and share it - so thank you very much mate
I'd love to see an updated video on best wick material (forever wick still applicable?), best fuel for what it's worth( is vegetable oil the cheapest and cleanest?), and best wick holder construction for the unit (tubular can inside a can, copper pipe inside the pipe). I'm building a prototype with a double outer chamber with strategic holes for abundant oxygen inflow and copper tubes above the flame as a heat exchanger and a flu pipe to top it off. Mainly just curious if you've learned further developments on this topic since the last videos you've addressed this in. Thank you fellow creationist !
Thank you for these engenering lamp/heat experiments. To what extent would it be possible to adept the Iron-Mesh-Mantel for a Hurrican/Diets-lamp to "reform" it to a heater? Most of your builds are already done in such a "Alladyn" lamp. I know Japanese, English, France and Belgain heaters use the Alladynlamp priciple. I only have seen the mesh princeple in a Zibrokamine heater: but will it work in a Dietz/Fuerhand.....? Would the glas melt? Will the tank get too hot? Thanks in advence Yours....
Just this week, I was wondering if there was a way to improve the heat output of a kerosene/oil lantern with steel mesh. This is a little more insane, so I will probably make one...
Have you tried or do you know if the rope used for a gasket on wood stoves would work as a wick and its longevity compared to the carbon felt? I ask this because the gasket rope is readily available and cheap here in Wisconsin. Second question; what is the blind like structure over your shop windows? Love your videos, I've learned a great deal.
Manhattan NY USA could use your stainless steel mesh rat deterrent video). France needs anti bedbug ideas) . I like rhe Betty lamp but not the fumes. Asthma. Anything about making an olive oil or canola oil lamp?
might be brighter and a little less smoke with the tip/top folded shut? the radiant infrared heat potential looks great+efficient, something similar would work with a gaseous fuel that doesn't normally produce much light (gas stove blue flames). I know there was gas lighting days (not the political type like now!).
Will that not work with alcohol also? Ethanol, methanol, rubbing alcohol over 70% , preferably 91%+ the 70% tends to get waterlogged if it's not hot enough to evaporate the water, someone said to put salt or sodium on the wick to. Get a more red flame from the alcohol any ideas? 💡?
How about a video about using thick vegetable oil to modify normal candles to burn a lot longer? Our friends in the USA use Crisco-brand vegetable oil, warm it in a jar so it becomes liquid and dump a candle in. Done. A candle that is supposed to burn for many days. I have a problem finding same type of oil here in Finland for prize that is affordable. Could you make a video or give tips what kind of stuff you could use to replicate this?
The idea of a "Lamp" is generally to create a brighter light tho right? So, would it create more light if you used a mantle / mesh similar to the kind that gas lamps used, ie the ones that were coated with thorium dioxide?
there really isn't much point mate - the heat produced is fixed by the amount of methanol you burn - if you burn less so it lasts longer all that happens is there is less heat but for a longer time - but overall it is the same amount of heat because it is the same amount of methanol - if I did something that burnt for longer all folks would say is - well it didn't get hot lol!
