  • I put my DIY copper coil heater to the test when I take my tiny cabin sled on an overnight trip in temperatures of -18C / 0F. Did my homemade water heater keep me warm and cozy? Or did I just about freeze out there on the trail? There's only one way to know for sure...

    This is a really neat social project. You have a specific task, staying warm in the winter in a snowmobile-pulled trailer, and you're heating it with an open-fire-based radiator system. And many people have done their own radiator systems, but not in this context, so you get to put some of these ideas together with your own, and we all get to see the cool results. This is a real-life distributed science project of sorts. How exciting!

    Idea to eliminate almost all vapor loss from the top vent:
    Using flexible copper line make a few tight upright corkscrew coils before venting it. The moisture should condensate inside the copper and drip back inside the thank.
    The work you put in these videos is evident. Really nice editing and camera work!

    @tomw4643 2 года назад +50

    I used a similar system on my sailboat with a few differences. If you put round river rocks in the ammo cans, they have greater heat retention than water so they stay hotter longer. This also reduces the amount of liquid you need to take with you.
    If you use 100% heavy-duty antifreeze, it has more heat capacity than water so it will carry more heat faster than water. It also has a higher boiling temp so you lose less to evaporation.
    I heated my system several different ways. One is to use a fresnel lens to focus the sun on the heating can. I also used a tiny propane stove set just barely above pilot light level but inside the sealed can so it heated the coils all night for just a small amount of gas. On the sailboat, I used a BBQ grill to build a fire using whatever fuel I had - driftwood, charcoal, kerosene, or tree logs.
    Finally, I have a solar panel that charges a battery that then powers a small fan to circulate the heat in the cabin. It can also power a small circulating pump if the thermal siphoning is not fast enough. If you have a solar-charged battery or a large enough battery, you can also replace the ammo can water tank with a car radiator. I experimented with using a large truck radiator (it held several gallons but was only 4" thick so it took up less room than the water tank) and a small fan to blow cabin air over the radiator. In my case, it was too much heat. I now use a similar system to heat my barn. In the cabin of the sailboat, I use a tank with rocks that thermal siphons thru a transmission cooling radiator and a small 3-volt fan. There are lots of other options.

    Suggestion: Moisten the sand to hasten the transference of heat to the water in the coils.

      I wouldn't use sand, its not that good at retaining heat, better off filling it with pea gravel it has more thermal mass

    • @MrFmiller
      @MrFmiller 4 года назад +5

      Omni Curious and RootX - Hmm...I see the merit in both ideas. Perhaps a mixture of sand and pea gravel would satisfy both criteria.
      As far as moistening I agree with Phantom309. Eight hours would certainly steam off any water in the sand.
      However using pea gravel in the ammo box might extend the duration of the thermal mass. To prevent clogging it would need to be contained, perhaps in a stainless screen.

      Sometimes a brilliant gem is recommended by a RUclips watcher; isn't that what we call serendipity? For instance, we use eco friendly (RV type) antifreeze when we winterize our cabin. I know nothing about how to design a heater like this, but someone else was wondering aloud if this eco-friendly antifreeze could be of use and contribute to an eureka moment like this build. (Sorry I wasn't thinking about this while watching the build, but someone did and I'm glad!). I'm fascinated by engineers and plumbers and auto mechanics recommending things because they are experts in those areas and their advice is pretty much spot on, or sometimes not practical for what the goal is. It is indeed a mix that needs sifting. Great video and wonderful scenes and camera work. Thanks so much for the care taken and sharing this with us. I am looking forward to spring and seeing the cabin continue to progress towards its finished state, but hope the videos continue.

      I would not recommend a snowmobile for this if you have reduced mobility - they're very prone to getting stuck in fresh (especially deep or wet) snow, requiring a lot of effort to clear the tracks, lift and pivot the rear, and get back into action. This is especially so with extra weight in tow.
      If you're traveling on packed trails or shallow snow you could get away with it but I can recall dozens of 30+ minute sessions freeing stuck snowmobiles with 2 able-bodied people and I can't fathom doing it solo without the use of my legs. We're talking 2-300lbs to lift a snow-filled snowmobile track a foot off the ground.
      An extended-track snowmobile should be a requirement were you to attempt and I'd do a few sorties with an accompanying snowmobile and rider to try it out before venturing out with this setup.

    Just a suggestion since I used to maintain a hot water radiator boiler system, put an inline water thermometer in your system, so you can keep track on how hot the water is in your tank there, that way you can keep it just bellow boiling so you won't evaporate as much water, should also keep the gurgling down a little too

    Once, when I was about 16 (I'm now 70), I asked my mom to take me up into the woods and drop me off, which she did. I was by myself.
    I hiked only about an half mile to a lean-to someone else had built. I brought along my sleeping bag and spread it out under the lean-to.
    I built a camp fire and just sat there by myself watching it burn, and I gotta tell ya, after the sun went down it was darker than dark, and really scary.
    Now, it wasn't anything like this guy experienced, and it was summer, and I wasn't more than a half mile from a main road, and not more than a mile from houses, and I had snacks, but to be only 16, and alone in the woods at night for the first time, in the dark (and I gotta add, with each snap, crackle, and pop coming from the black surrounding woods), it was an experience to be had... and REALLY FUN!

    just a thought but try putting rocks in the fire so when the fire goes out the rocks will still radiate heat to the water pot possibly giving you more heat time

    You may want an alternative means of exiting just incase you get snowed in. The current hatch seems as if it'd be impossible to open if a severe snow came in whilst you were asleep/sheltering. A better solution may be to mount it on rails so you can lift it straight up or to the side. Even if the snow was directly over the path of the door, it'd be on the edge of the door instead of broadside. That way it could "slice" through any snow instead of pushing up against it.
    Additionally, a fire extinguisher might be worth considering.
    Anyway, looks amazing. Enjoy it in good health. You've earned one more subscriber, and I will begin churning through content now. :-)

    I have watched this already and the water collecting from the tree, and your other post and I wish I could go camping still. my kings are all grown up now and have their own lives now. I used to take them camping almost every weekends and fishing..and really enjoy the outdoors activities.. I miss that. I just now do gardening, I go fishing once in awhile with my kids, I have one grandson and he is into sports including fishing, Viewing from the Midwest. Thank you and have fun..
