This is truly amazing! This is the first time for me to see the catalytic burner. The materials that you have used is so simple. This can definitely be useful in disaster area without conventional heater and electricity. Hope the people in Turkey can see this wonderful design.
Catalytic heaters are available commercially at camping equipment stores. They use propane for fuel which, when burned, gives off C02 and H20. They require some fresh air for safety and could cause moisture build up in a small setting, like a tent. These problems are alleviated by having some ventilation. The BTU's and burn times are listed for the various models... usually something like 5,000 to 10,000 BTU's with burn times of 6 to 8 hours on a regular canister. If you are looking for larger units, then there are heaters designed for contractors that put out much more heat and use BBQ type propane tanks.
Thank you for sharing. I love how you take us with you as you think outside the box. Your creative engineering and the processes you take with your eyeball engineering, to the finished product, I love it. Know that the Light of your being is a blessing to everyone on your journey. Shine on
I used a can with wick using 90% rubbing alcohol and the can was 1.5 inches tall and about 4 inches diameter and it ran for 2 hours if I'm remembering right. The longer it ran an I used a sheet metal floor heat duct boot with a 4 inch 90 degrees elbow on it with a thermometer hanging at mouth. Temp was 350 degrees for long time but I put 2 cans under the boot and temp was 450 degrees. I added an old computer fan that was 12 volt DC, an wired it with rocker on n off switch and a 9 volt square battery that turned the fan using it 8 hours per day the battery lasted over a week. The rubbing alcohol bottle lasted 2 an half days running 2 can in it. Well worth it to watch the safe emergency heat teaching grandson other ways of making heat. Plus him being 8 years old he loved using my tools to make it. I used heavy wood around left an right side and back of heat duct boot so it wasn't too heavy, that's very important to make sure it can not fall over. Tip if you get soot from burner since I use wicks. Means the wick is to long so cut it down some till it stops smoking.needs to be 1/4-3/8-1/5 inch depending on type of wick you are using. Many videos on here on making wicks during a emergency such as shoe strings and ropes.
As a pocket warmer this process works great and heats up the metal enclosure up to 60 degrees celsius for 12 hours just on fumes. But at larger scale you downgrade efficiency, flames are still visible and that means an ordinary burn is taking place. Keep away of these dangerous experiments. Buy an old Kerosine heater if necesary and use bio-ethanol of high grade.
I have hand warmers that work on this principle. In the last few clips it appears you have a flame from when heating with the torch. I assume this isn't a catalyst reaction taking place but just a burning process?
So what exactly are you using for the catalyst, is it something like a ball of copper shavings? or a ball of stainless steel wool? you do not give a clear view or description of what you are actually using.
Yeah, that's my question, too! Is he saying the copper is acting as the catalyst? That's a new one but, since there's still flame visible, that catalyzes reaction isn't taking place. He's skipping over some crucial information if nothing else.
Mr. Robo, may I ask you when you did this experiment how long did the fuel burn with the amount of fuel you used in your experiment with these materials shown in this video thanks:-)
@@Doctor-Robo Indeed. Clear concise explaination of the science plus the elegant workmanship and skills with different materials. And some humor thrown in. Again, thank you.
The universe works in weird ways. I’ve done a lot of this stuff some of it I haven’t. Ingenuity and need spark genius. Oh wow. That’s different than what I did good idea. A couple things different. Good stuff.
@@Doctor-Robo What gauge of stainless steel mesh did you use M.R. ?? I am wondering if this screen catalyst would work on top of the chimney inside a kerosene heater ??? I would bet there would be more heat coming from the heater. Nice video Sir too. vf
Ozark Trail camp heaters are $50 and much safer than anything you cobble together. Buddy heaters are $70 if you want the name brand. Enclosed, neat, hard to tip, tip sensor that cuts the propane flow... oxygen depletion and CO sensor that shut them off. Just buy one and be safer. You can hook them to a larger propane tank if 4 to 8 hrs of heat is not enough for you.
@@chefbperez most of these cobbled together heaters are literally an accident waiting to happen. In a tent, one bump and they fall over,,,,stiff breeze fluttering the tent...they fall over. Any with liquid fuel will spill the fuel upon a wicking surface (the floor or ground) and even supply the nice flame to light it. Commercial stove cut the flame if tipped, cut the flame with O2 depletion and are typically very hard to knock over....requiring less don't go near it room. Of you want to ensure you have heat without technology, then a small wood stove in a flame retardant canvas tent with a stack. If you're in a polytaffeta nylon tent, any flame heater is typically a bad idea...even propane. Better to boil water outside, pour it in a stainless bottle, slip it in a tube sock and place it between your thighs in the sleeping bag to warm your arteries. Heat for 8 hours.
I can’t afford heaters for my family because the electricity price is so high Can’t burn wood too because of the smoke and monoxide poisoning Each year we struggle to fight cold my parents are old and it makes me feel sad that I can’t do much for them every time I try to make something but it’s impossible for me because I don’t have tools and materials and can’t afford such stuff But your idea seems very easy and pocket friendly Just one small question- I hope the alcohol doesn’t cause any harm or damage to health ?
Isopropanol worked well for me. If your home is Insulated you can go from 55 degrees to 68 degrees. Soot was not a problem. On Mine I used a thin sock for wick and kept the cans close in size to limit wicking. A can inside of a can the inside can has top on but bottom cut out. Wet the top and one edge of bottom to start. It needs a more blue flame. Mine burns lower when fuel runs low giving a blue flame. Runtime 1.5 hours
In video he use Ethanol, which is like grain alcohol. 150 proof vodka. Last year used Isopropanol alcohol and it burn clean enough if you keep flame medium to low height.
Thanks a lot! Come back again, I will always be glad to see you on this channel! I already have a lot of interesting and unusual projects on my channel! 🤖
i painted used chip pan oil to paint the green algae off the wooden fence, goes on real easy and i didnt have to clean it off first ,good way to get rid of used oil without blocking the drains,, 9 months later it has not come back
It is difficult to say exactly, the consumption depends on many factors: the diameter of the tank, the size of the grid cells, the height of the grid, the fuel temperature, the purity of the fuel and its temperature.
@@Doctor-Robo hi,, what the man was trying to say is how long will this particular burner work on one fill... or say how long will this burner run with 50ml of fuel... Vs how hot it gets so you can get an idea
I think I could make one with my kerosene lantern still in the box got it for Christmas. Use alcohol and fit a screen where the globe is and the wide base makes it harder for the cat to knock over. A cat food can would make the top.
Since the flame is orange, it means that there is issues with burning inefficiency? As in a blue flame is the colour you want to see when looking at it. Or does this type of fuel only burn orange? Great video though!
Yet the mesh is stainless steel, not platinum)). There is a small flame inside, it sometimes forms, but it is still very small and the grid is very hot and it smolders.
@@Doctor-Robo thank you for your videos! 👌💪I just discover your channel (im french). With this quantity of alcohol, how many time the temperature do not move under 50°celsius please? Thx👍👍👍
Indeed this is a genius way of heating your home , the piece of curved metal is like using a parabolic mirror to radiate the heat in the most efficient way possible
Yet the mesh is stainless steel, not platinum)). There is a small flame inside, it sometimes forms, but it is still very small and the grid is very hot and it smolders.
this will occur in the US but I find these so helpful for those suffering from extreme cold in Europe, the UK, and Canada, among other places. With our current admin on track to destroy the use of gas stoves, AC, etc etc, I can see where we will need these soon. Once all wood stoves are shut down, this is necessity.
Mr. R. I live off the grid up north. On very cold nights my under-house equipment room is still vulnerable to freezing. I need ten hours of heating time. But the room/closet is small. Is your cat heater safe? How long will 6 oz burn? Can I use kerosene?
But, exactly how much fuel did you use, and how long did the actual catalytic process last? BTW. love your channel. Your ideas and manufactoring are amazing! My new favorite YT channel!
It all depends on the intensity of the flame and the desired power. The higher the power, the higher the fuel consumption. I am very glad that you like my videos! Come again, thanks!🤝🤖
those little hand warmer sand bags you put in gloves to are a catalytic reaction. get to dang hot they do lol im going to have to try this trick of yours on my next trip out.
The Japanese use lots of catalytic heaters to heat their homes. They are very common and use kerosene as a fuel. They emit no fumes and are very efficient. They still need ventilation as they can burn up all the oxygen in the room.
Nope... i had one from france.... they use them alot there too . They are amazing and i didnt even buy the premium odorless fuel . . Just regular karosene from the red diesel depot . . The first couple of mins smells a bit so you just light it outside . Once its hot it pumps out 2.2kw of odorless heat, plus infra red radiation as a bonus, And they dehumidify a damp cold room really well for extra bonuses . There awesome
That is a brilliant idea. The other things you made that you showed briefly in this video look really interesting. I will be watching those too. I've just subscribed to your channel. Its great having something useful on here. 😊
@@Doctor-Robo You're welcome. You are very clever and have a brilliant mind. It's so good to see useful things like this when people are struggling to afford to heat their homes. Thankyou for sharing with us. Have a great day ☺️
As Hoy has said, a catalyst is not consumed, but the last reaction with stainless steel is normal combustion, with the mesh acting to contain the flame within, similar to a miner's safety lamp. Still very useful and efficient
Thank you for the video. I have a question. Is there a way to turn it off mid way? Or you have to wait until the alcohol is gone? What happens if you take it part or if it fall over?
Hi! interesting project. I would like to replicate it, but your description misses on how to turn on / off this device at desire. It would be very important to know this, as a natural completion of the simplicity of this project! Please let us know!
The only way I see is to make it run out of fuel, or cool it to stop the reaction. If you managed to seal it from Air, sure you could stop it, but with the output of this, something to take the heat is needed. Probably better to run a test to determine consumption and fill only to last the desired time
A person could make the outer reflector sized to fit around the heater, complete with handles on the reflector, so that when you want to turn the heater off, simply put the ends of the reflector together, thus depriving the heater of oxygen, smothering the fire inside.
Bei offenem Feuer in geschlossenen Räumen ist auf ausreichende Frischluftzufuhr zu achten, könnte dann zwar wieder kalt werden aber besser als ersticken.
I'm fascinated by this concept, and asked a question on the forge-iron version of it. Please help me understand. The bottom container holds the ethanol, and there is a small gap between it and the upper container, which holds the copper? And, due to heat, the ethanol is vaporized and the vapor comes into contact with the copper, where it catalyzes with the oxygen in the air for combustion? Then the heat from the combustion keeps the ethanol hot so it continues to vaporize? Do I have all that right? Спасибо
What amazes me is the sheer number of people across all social media who are willing to help others by making videos like these.

It's called loving our neighbors.
Yeah if you call poisoning anyone using this loving them LMFAO@@toniafolven

isopropyl alcohol and the fumes from it's combustion are toxic. make sure you have plenty of air circulation .
For those old enough to remember, I think that the old Jon-e- Hand Warmers worked on this principle.
👍🤝 Yes, you are absolutely right, they worked on the same principle.
I still have one I use with lighter fluid, I just now found out Isopropanol does also work.
@@SmilingDevil I discovered years that the Jon-e Fluid is nothing but naphtha.that could be purchased at the local hardware store or big box store.
Zippo handwardmers STILL work on this principle and you can find them at Walmart. I usually have one tucked in my coat on cold days

Nice! Does the catalyst get consumed by the reaction? If so how long does the copper etc last? What about platinum?
The heater I have seems to use glass wool or such.. this has degraded over the past 20 years, but works ..
A catalyst by definition is a substance that facilitates a chemical reaction without being consumed itself.
As Hoy has said, a catalyst is not consumed, but the last reaction with stainless steel is normal combustion, with the mesh acting to contain the flame within, similar to a miner's safety lamp. Still very useful and efficient

A person could make the outer reflector sized to fit around the heater, complete with handles on the reflector, so that when you want to turn the heater off, simply put the ends of the reflector together, thus depriving the heater of oxygen, smothering the fire inside.

As far as i remember methanol gets oxydized to formaldehyde by copper oxide. I'd be careful with the oxidation products in these experiments.

I did this years ago when my wife and I were homeless. It’s got a leeching problem. Metals. Burn
YOU ARE A VERY GOOD MAN 😁
Thank you! Come again, I'll be glad!🤝🤖
Subbed Nice!
how much ethanol does it need to run for one hour ?
Nice!

What was the stainless mesh type? Mesh size?
I can't tell the exact size of the grid, but it is very small, about 0.5 x 0.5 mm by eye. or even less.
@@Doctor-Robo Thank you
Bei offenem Feuer in geschlossenen Räumen ist auf ausreichende Frischluftzufuhr zu achten, könnte dann zwar wieder kalt werden aber besser als ersticken.
I'm fascinated by this concept, and asked a question on the forge-iron version of it. Please help me understand. The bottom container holds the ethanol, and there is a small gap between it and the upper container, which holds the copper? And, due to heat, the ethanol is vaporized and the vapor comes into contact with the copper, where it catalyzes with the oxygen in the air for combustion? Then the heat from the combustion keeps the ethanol hot so it continues to vaporize? Do I have all that right? Спасибо
