Hello Martin, hope you have yourself a Happy Thanksgiving Sir. That is happening here in USA this week. I am curious as to the part of the oil burn Sir. What is the difference of efficiency between yellow burn and blue burn ??? Roughly how long does it take for that to happen Martin ??? Am in the process of getting parts to make me one fella. Just really appreciate your hard work and making a video for all to learn from on RUclips.
No propane gas added at all, just propane cylinder used. The point is not to burn the oil, but the oil vapor, which turns to blue during the burning process. in the video, you can see stage when it comes from yellow oil burning to the blue vapor burning. Or check one of the first videos, where I had only the fan and I added the oil just pouring in..
Well done, I am very impressed. I will wait for the small heater, that is what I am really interested in. I am also thinking of a hot water jacket. Thanks for a wonderful design 👍
@@LifesAbe-ach Perhaps, but I just came upon it (this guy) for the first time a month or so ago. As you say, there are so many , but so many people that put stuff up don't have a clue what they are talking about and in this context think that just because they get a hot flame they have created a wonder and are the only ones to have done so. Though I don't normally like silent 'movies' this guy takes the time to explain the key points in writing and in several languages.
A great design from simple materials. I am no electronics expert but I do have a similar fan. Is there a simple way of controlling it? How did you set up yours?
thank you, it was really hot burn, which I don't normally do, but even less hot doesn't create much more, I just put vacuum cleaner inside and start up
@@martinsdiy825 blue flame definitely makes a difference. I’m still refining my burner to get there. My first attempt had orange flames and left a lot of sludge residue that was nasty to clean up. Thanks
I really thought this must be using petrol/gasoline mix to get that rich blue flame. Not being afraid to use petrol mix I made a similar setup although no pumped fuel just an old squirrel cage fan off an old gas boiler for air. MIND BLOWING ! ! ! I also found out that pretty much any flammable liquid will give equally great results I even put a block of lard into the burn chamber complete with wrapping and replicated your results :) The most amazing thing is, as you point out the residue left is dust ! ! ! and not much of it :) As I said before I don't have a fuel pump, but I am going to work out how long a litre of fuel will last simply by dumping in 1 litre of used oil, drop of kerosene right at the beginning in hope that I can simply dump in say 2 litres if I expect to need heat for 2 hours, it could be more or less but something I am going to find out :) What a great invention you have there sir, burns better than the pro beckett burners that only use kerosene I think :)
Thank you for your comment. The fuel pump is just something I tried, but it is really noisy and in cold temperature is not feedeing enough oil as the oil is really thick. Over the cold temperature I have went back to drop feed. The ratio is easy to follow, if the mixture is lean, the flame goes back to orange and the output temperature is much lower. However it is easy to overfeed it, it will run longer when you shut it off as it will burn through the oil left inside.
There is a big downside to your design and others like it if you want to close that garage door. The system is sucking fresh air from the room and pushing it out through the exhaust after burning. You would need some type of air makeup system. I would think of designing a heat exchanger with the exhaust to preheat an outside air intake for the burner and not cause a negative pressure in the room. This way your heating system is simply circulating and warming the room air.
@@rayleblanc7209 Nothing wrong in fresh air though is there? I mean if you hermetically seal up your house you will suffocate :( and Martins setup will heat the fresh air for practically free so not really a downside.
@@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr That might work for a wood burning stove that naturally draws it air. This system draws large volumes of air through the blower and pushes it up the chimney. It needs an exterior source of air to function properly.
@@rayleblanc7209 It's the same! Why are you being so negative ? Be nice to see your video of how the perfect setup would be, oh then again you have been on youtube since 2016 and not produced one single video ???? That's what I call a troll.
It just keeps getting better! Well Done! I like your idea of adding a fan with a speed controller. Now you just need to add a temperature switch so it comes on when the Heater gets up to temp.

Muy buen funcionamiento! Creo que el residuo es normal y no puede evitarse completamente. Muchas gracias
From what I've learned, the deposit left is the byproduct of the additives used in the motor oil. Home heating oil don't have those additives.
So just using air under some pressure give you a multi blue flame ??? Looks like you are adding propane gas. Thanks

@@martinsdiy825 Sorry My Bad with the comment MDIY. Look forward to see more great videos from you Martin's. Thanks and peace too. !!

Thanks for a wonderful design 👍
so you have two fans now? Kept the previous one for air feed for burner... and the second one is for heated air disbursement?
Finally a blue flame! nice work.
Thanks
Same burner as been on RUclips for over 5 years by a Asian guy .. another RUclips repeat

Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing with us.
I like the blue flame you made. pls burn its higher.
Gerçekten çok iyi çok fazla rus ve japon arkadaş izledim ama bu harika olmuş hava çıkışına ince bir filtre gerekebilir sanki
thank you
Great design seems to work perfectly!
So far I have a yellow flame but no smoke, I will keep going at it :-)
You are one very clever man
Love your idea
Cheers mate
*LOOK AT MY OVEN🔥🔥🔥*
muchas gracias :)
Well done!!! Very noisy fan. Good to see you looking well. You need a better temp probe.
Hi Mark, thank you, this is more likely the microphone too sensitive on the phone, but as it is fan, it makes a little noise
Great Work.! Can you pls do a video on the controller?
Thank you, will do
Thanks for showing the residue. That’s a pretty clean and complete burn. Cheers
thank you, it was really hot burn, which I don't normally do, but even less hot doesn't create much more, I just put vacuum cleaner inside and start up

Thank you, I know what you mean, but as it is in garage and it is on temperature so quickly, it doesn't make any sense to accommodate this for now.
