This is a great video. Awesome looking stove. Aside from the amazing craftsmanship I also learned some extremely valuable tips such as "Lift with your back" and "Don't wash your hands."
I’m a 66 YO fart who used to do a lot of welding…producing everything from SS vibratory parts feeders to multi-million dollar Lithium Ion battery manufacturing systems. Now, in retirement, I want to get back to welding again…as I truly enjoyed it. Blessings y’all.
Mate, so good, especially seeing how great the final product is! In addition to appreciating your skill and imagination with these things you make, I also appreciate the smattering of humour and especially like how you include problems and the thought process of working through them. As someone who hamfists his way from one crafting debacle to another and having to bodgy my way out of it, I find that especially useful. Thanks very much
Actually I LOVED watching both videos. You come across as being a down to earth kinda guy. You not only admit your mistakes but also come up with important fixes that have worked out well. Enjoyed the chicken dance and when you said "this looks like the dog's breakfast". Made me chuckle. I look forward to the next project. Be safe and have fun learning!
FATE! My son-in-law, a doctor, is interested in the outdoors/survival of his family and discussing fabricating stoves for camping and such and I was telling him of my sheet metal tooling and our capabilities and your video demonstrates every tool I use and you have produced a great video, thanks
Watched both. Very interesting and entertaining as well. Nice set of tools and nice craftsmen-ship! Very nice internal setup to build it into a mass rocket stove heater! Thanks for taking the time and effort to build and record the entire process.
It was great to see your thinking process throughout your issues and how you worked through them. Thanks for including that even though it made the video a little longer. It makes you more believable when you allow us to see that you are, in fact, human. Your final product was both great engineering and quality craftsmanship. It is a shame that you have to paint over such beautiful welding. Truly appreciate your tenacity.
Dude, I’m a yank and totally enjoy your work! I work with my hands, back and mind too, but in maintenance and rehab of elite athletes and the aged. Function is it. Fabrication involves art, science and skill. You have connected them. Your time invested and end product are the cats meow!!! Functional and no BS.
Thats cool, having equipment that makes your work quicker... It's like you've made the airflow into a "J". Keep up the great work.The vortex is a thing of beauty!!
Awesome build run! Thanks for taking the time through the rocket stove build. I would love to see a rocket stove married to a biochar retort to produce biochar for garden soil amendment. A biochar retort could be added as a round tin to the chimney riser end base. So instead of just air, you're adding syngas from wood back in.
VERY IMPRESSIVE build! High quality craftsmanship! You can tell you take pride in what you do. And it shows I just wish more thank you for the video. Very informative also
Amazing step-by-step sequence of the build. The mistakes are as important as the successes. This series is so important that I downloaded these videos.
The coriolis effect (swirl due to gravity) is trivial; the geometry of the stove and baffling will determine which way the vortex swirls. Great video, I got a lot of fantastic tips on welding!
Seems sensible that the aerodynamics in a stove would play a much bigger role in the vortex direction than the coriolis force. P.S. Love the videos. You're a legend!
i took a course in arson investigation and fire produces very strange but understandable burn patterns depending on a thousand things....good observation
Rockets do take a lot of air to run efficiently... as you found out. Mine has an insulated firebrick burn tunnel and riser... With pellets, I've gotten the exterior a bit over 1000° F. But I have unlimited firewood... only gets up to 750, 800.... I'm good. Next build will be a vortex. Great job... wonderful welding, and workshop.
Sweet stove. I've fabricated a few Smokers, a few fire places then moved onto fabricating efficient wood burning shop stove heaters. I learned early on the benefit to having secondary burning, and dialing in airflow to not only the secondary burners, but to primary air intake. Having a flu dampener has helped too. I'd love to make a stainless stove with a window someday. I guess a Kimberly stove clone with auxiliary functions for water heating, cooking, and etc. You did a great job so far, keep the vids coming if you can. I recently subbed.
Great build with excellent craftsmanship. Nice video production also. So many videos on here are equivalent to watching grass grow. Longer videos benefit greatly from good production and yours has it. Look forward to watching more. In the immortal words of Mr. Spock, live long and prosper......
Thanks for hanging in there to make it work. That's why it's called 'theories'. Try it and find out. Did some welding in my younger days, and can still manage a reasonable bead still. Great skill for anyone to learn.
Your TIG welds are nice. I prefer MIG welds, personally-- not for structural reasons, but you can get really smooth beads. The build looks great. It's a pleasure to see these ideas come together.
lol i just had a moment, im a metal fabricator and a construction artist for the last 20 plus years,, and whi;le doing construction all those years, we've always said "a little bit of caulk n paint make a carpenter what he ain't" lol, you learned me something today
I have thought secondary air would have the capacity to add more oxygen up past the initial burn...thanks, your time has save me time when I get to build one...so helpful!
The circular air entrance converting to a square inner flow is creating broken lamiar flow, and probably low pressure areas. This is probably why cracking the door always worked better.
At first I was thinking your video was going to suck,was I mistaken!!!!your quality of work is top workman like quality something that in 100 years will be looked upon and appreciated.there’s nothing more satisfying than watching intelligence and application of theory at work while crafting a quality product that is useful and well developed. Thanks .I liked the chicken I can’t lie
You are welcome! Thank you for sharing! It was easy to hang out, because it almost felt like being in the garage right next to you. And wow... the stove is making some great progress. Have to say as much as I love cutting, bending and welding steel - the dancing chicken was my favorite part of the video. A good laugh is always helpful, especially when russian jets are dropping bombs to close for comfort. What a great video! )))
wow!! love watching the skill !! would give my left ...! too have half that skill !! and as for talking or not ! just be you and fun !! love it Aussie !! greetings from SA, man in shed !
That glass window you added is a very nice touch. The orange and red of flames like that is among my favourite colours. I didn't know a stove could get hot enough to burn even the soot and ash without insulation. Thanks for making this video. Though having a stove that reaches over 400 degrees centigrade seems like a bit of a safety hazard.
Fitter 'n Turner by Trade...... Engineer hobbyist at home! LOL (love the '80's musik back drop)... even that chicken seems to be dancing.;) Cheers! Mick
Your licking and sniffing of the fireproof glass as confirmation made me laugh out loud. "Tastes like fireproof glass", "smells like fireproof glass"...sure glad I didn't step in it.
I've heard "A grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't" a fair bit but here in the UK, when someone commented that your welding wasn't pretty, the phrase a lot of us used was "No, But I've got enough on that I can GRIND it back to pretty". It's a philosophy that's worked well for me. It also works for spray painting cars. You get enough paint on there and you can wet 'n' dry then polish it back to being smooth and shiny. If you don't mind the extra sanding and being seriously wasteful with paint you can near as damn it put the stuff on your car with a roller before sanding back to the shine ! :D
Thanks X3 for sharing your video.... it would be nice to see more time about the stove working from all angles than seen how it is built or how it would work less efficiently or more efficiently.... as with all stove, I believe, people want to see performance, performance, performance now .... extend the happy ending, is where the joy is at...
i really enjoyed watching you build this. It is a project that I wanted to develop for some time. My fabrication skills are not where yours are @. I like the way you have done these videos. elements of your life & humor come in & out briefly. I am suffering from a little guillotine & press envy, nothing a little time traveling would not fix. I had an anolog porto mig for almost 25 years, I was sad the day she died & I was told by the welder tech that she could not be saved. I had a close connection with her, that is not possible with modern woman. Last year I bought a razor too, still getting to know her, but I am really pleased with how she goes, started my 1st stainless mig project late last year , starting my 1st mig aluminum project in the next few weeks, buying the tig torch & bits soonish, keen to start learning me to tig. I love the non symmetrical form of your finished prototype, that you let the holes remain on the base plate. Utilitarian but simple & elegant.
Effort well spent mate, such a nice build! Can you please show a schematics or diagram explaining how it works and how air flows in it? because I'm still confused how it can make such a nice vortex fire in the riser and how the fire doesn't come out of the side pipes. I'm planning on building one for my own project and hopefully can learn much from this one. Cheers!
In the intro, became very clear that you seem to be “wise enough” to put your priorities in the correct order. Oh, and I like the dancing chicken also.
If you preheat the glass with blow torch... it stops the sooting of the glass.. building a rocket stove at moment... two years research and looking good, but keeping to myself at moment, as would like to put them into manufacture... great work buddy and will show you what i have been working on when ready...
36:04 The pandemic wasn’t real! This possibly the best part 2 in rocket stove history. Definitely the best in vortex rocket stove history 🧐😎😜 Part 1 inspired me to actually evolve from vicarious rocket stove design theory, and move forward with my one own ideas by making a mini vortex, employing some of your ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Incredible video production. Thanks for sharing this with all of the different segments and pieces spliced together. I enjoy your chicken and knife work cutting the hinge tubes. Have you considered adding larger, pneumatic wheels to your equipment table for movement between shop locations? In addition to the scientific information from building this stove, where will you be using this unit? I trust that you are creating a journal documenting your findings. Perhaps you could publish a Tips & Tricks notebook for sale in addition to your rocket stoves. Trusting that you and your family will remain safe during the pandemic as it continues to evolve. Wishing you Peace, health and happiness.
All it needs now is some form of coil down the flame exhaust, with a pipe in and out to cycle cold water into hot. Stove and hot water at the same time from the same fuel. Good luck in TAFE and the career moving forward.
Hey man, you sort your family and your future at work out first, we will all wait for ya! There is many a guy out there that didn’t get those priorities right and ended up sat here watching you with a house full of emptiness! We will just wait for that bell to ring and give you our attention. Free ya mind and build something now! You’re a good man. Thank you for posting. Regards Chris (UK)
Nice build mate, I wasn't even going to watch your video. But after I watched it🤨, I felt that you earned my subscription.🤔 By the way I love the metal break. Wish I had one. I have one where I work but it's old and wood is the main component, But it works just fine🙂.
Amazing. Just amazing. I need to watch both parts a couple more times . You are awesome as an idealist. Greetings from south of the equator. way south.
If you really want it to get hot: try feeding the heated air in "before" the pellets. By introducing the air after, it reduces the drawing power and reduces the efficiency of the whole system. Just a suggestion. Love the chicken!!!!!
What a balancing act to go through to get where you ended up. Amazing heat output in the end. Love the window. It would be especially interesting to see how adjusting the various air inlets affects the system.
I'm a huge fan, I still wish we lived nearby. Epic colabs and BBQs would be the norm. Great news on the appyship. And the coolness of kit in the shed/garage never seems to end...
I couldn't understand what he said there. Is it an apprenticeship, to become a journeyman? And what does "fitting and turning" do exactly? No offense, just interested in understanding how Australia makes skilled trade workers. As a journeyman Mold Maker, with plenty of Tool and Die instruction and experience, they are often alike and often require the same tasks and knowledge I'm going to guess a "Fitter and Turner" would be close to our Pipefitter designation, but that's usually specialized in industrial and heavy commercial applications. Just curious, thanks✌
@@BearBig70 As an Aussie, but not a fitter n turner, easiest description would be a "machinist" Lathe, Mill, etc operator To us a Journeyman, would be a bloke going on holidays, You going on a journey mate ? Guess we would use term Tradesmen instead Can I assume a Mold Maker is the same as here, your in a metal foundry ? Pipe fitter as you say is specialised heavy industry or just a Plumbers job
Very nice ..I build rocket stoves myself..metal melt down after a while in the burn chamber. I coat my metal with satinite. Refractory cement..metal doesn't get as hot but achieves same results.. Cheers mate
Amazing video Funny chicken dance 12:12 was funny 😅 Nice cut with the ... knife The stove looks great , you do an amazing work Only one thing if I can say , from what I've observed in many rocket stoves videos and my stove experiences .... it seems that the SECONDARY AIR works better when all that secondary air flow is coming as near as possible to the flame so all the mix can also ignite, In your case, as near to the bottom, because , the holes near the top will allow air in but may not really ignite cuz is not as hot as near the flame as possible Anyway That's just an observation
Estuve viendo tus vídeos de trabajo y algunas cosas no las comprendo por mi limitado inglés,pero veo que eres un genio y tienes todas las herramientas que necesitas,lo que es fundamental,y aprendo de vos, gracias Colega(si te puedo llamar así) si algún día vienes a Cordoba capital Argentina,te llegas por mi house y tomamos un vino con asado Argentino,un abrazo fraternal desde aquí!!😊
When you get bored, and have nothing better to do, you should build another with the vortex going the other way to see which performs better. Or if there is any difference at all.
Glad your back. I have been looking forward to this video for a while. Also I am jealous as all get out of your metal tools and glad your job is able to allow you to get them.
This series has me really wanting to buy a welder. I have some modifications I'd like to make to that design to increase the air draw and to recirculate the exhaust - like a DIY afterburner type-thing. Great video.
Great video. good to see you back mate. Love the Aussie humour :) Yes Please a video on pattern development! P.S Congrats on the apprenticeship, onya!!
Hello... Nice vid... But i think your basket is a little to high... That might be the reason for the smoke at the first time... Cause it will be a burnback into the filler, and there is no air, and than you have smoke... Maybe shut down 10mm from the upper of your basket... And if it was me... I would build an ashtray which is adjustable... So you can give fresh cold air from below... I think that is the best for your stove I just built my third one and my practice says, give the air from below...
This is a great video. Awesome looking stove. Aside from the amazing craftsmanship I also learned some extremely valuable tips such as "Lift with your back" and "Don't wash your hands."

Watched both. Very interesting and entertaining as well. Nice set of tools and nice craftsmen-ship! Very nice internal setup to build it into a mass rocket stove heater! Thanks for taking the time and effort to build and record the entire process.
I like the chicken dance.
You do good work. I've learned so much.
You would make an excellent teacher
Excellent. Concept, testing, development, explanation, and video, well done. Thank you.

" If you saw what the result was i think you would have all unsubscribed "... had me subscribe.
Aussie Genius.... dreaming only what it would be like to own one of Little Aussie's heaters, stoves, etc., and finally have functional art in my home.
Thanks for hanging in there to make it work. That's why it's called 'theories'. Try it and find out. Did some welding in my younger days, and can still manage a reasonable bead still. Great skill for anyone to learn.
Very nice. It took me only about an hour and a half to watch you create and spin for months. Great job.
Man you have so many tools ! I'm jalous ! Very cool to see your project , inspired me !
My favorite part was the dancing chicken! You could make millions off her.
Your TIG welds are nice. I prefer MIG welds, personally-- not for structural reasons, but you can get really smooth beads.

I REALLY like your tripod, weighted grounding jig for your welding table. Genius. Blessings.
Pretty slick idea with the pellets and a pretty slick welder especially being a self taught and good luck on your apprenticeship program,
In South Africa we also have rocket stoves, but this is absolutely next level!! Well done!! 🇿🇦 cheers from the tip of Africa!
The circular air entrance converting to a square inner flow is creating broken lamiar flow, and probably low pressure areas. This is probably why cracking the door always worked better.

Your licking and sniffing of the fireproof glass as confirmation made me laugh out loud. "Tastes like fireproof glass", "smells like fireproof glass"...sure glad I didn't step in it.
Always thought a glass window would be badass wondered why no one did it.... Awesome build!!
I've heard "A grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't" a fair bit but here in the UK, when someone commented that your welding wasn't pretty, the phrase a lot of us used was "No, But I've got enough on that I can GRIND it back to pretty". It's a philosophy that's worked well for me.
It also works for spray painting cars. You get enough paint on there and you can wet 'n' dry then polish it back to being smooth and shiny. If you don't mind the extra sanding and being seriously wasteful with paint you can near as damn it put the stuff on your car with a roller before sanding back to the shine ! :D
I learn a lot - not just about rocket stoves but also tool use etc. Enjoyable videos. I like your commentary as well. Bravo, keep it up!
Thanks X3 for sharing your video.... it would be nice to see more time about the stove working from all angles than seen how it is built or how it would work less efficiently or more efficiently.... as with all stove, I believe, people want to see performance, performance, performance now .... extend the happy ending, is where the joy is at...
Dedication!! Oh yes! Love the vortex!
But rocket stoves separate burn chamber(insulated) from heat exchanger.. to create clean efficient combustion
i really enjoyed watching you build this. It is a project that I wanted to develop for some time. My fabrication skills are not where yours are @.
I like the way you have done these videos. elements of your life & humor come in & out briefly. I am suffering from a little guillotine & press envy, nothing a little time traveling would not fix.
I had an anolog porto mig for almost 25 years, I was sad the day she died & I was told by the welder tech that she could not be saved. I had a close connection with her, that is not possible with modern woman.
Last year I bought a razor too, still getting to know her, but I am really pleased with how she goes, started my 1st stainless mig project late last year , starting my 1st mig aluminum project in the next few weeks, buying the tig torch & bits soonish, keen to start learning me to tig.

So in the end you got sucked into the vortex. Great job!
Amazing talent, I wish you much success, Hope you can one day mass produce these for the open market.
I remember that chicken from the first video. Looking forward to seeing this work
Nice build mate, I wasn't even going to watch your video. But after I watched it🤨, I felt that you earned my subscription.🤔 By the way I love the metal break. Wish I had one. I have one where I work but it's old and wood is the main component, But it works just fine🙂.

@@BearBig70 As an Aussie, but not a fitter n turner, easiest description would be a "machinist" Lathe, Mill, etc operator
To us a Journeyman, would be a bloke going on holidays,

Guess we would use term Tradesmen instead
Can I assume a Mold Maker is the same as here, your in a metal foundry ?
Pipe fitter as you say is specialised heavy industry or just a Plumbers job
Very nice ..I build rocket stoves myself..metal melt down after a while in the burn chamber.
I coat my metal with satinite. Refractory cement..metal doesn't get as hot but achieves same results..
Cheers mate
Hey Mate, must say that you have the best videos relating to Rocket Stoves! Camera work,Audio and explanation 👍
Thanks mate ☺️
Amazing video
Funny chicken dance
12:12 was funny 😅
Nice cut with the ... knife
The stove looks great , you do an amazing work
Only one thing if I can say , from what I've observed in many rocket stoves videos and my stove experiences .... it seems that the SECONDARY AIR works better when all that secondary air flow is coming as near as possible to the flame so all the mix can also ignite,
In your case, as near to the bottom, because , the holes near the top will allow air in but may not really ignite cuz is not as hot as near the flame as possible
Anyway
That's just an observation
The first 20 seconds of this video have me joy/hysterics.
Estuve viendo tus vídeos de trabajo y algunas cosas no las comprendo por mi limitado inglés,pero veo que eres un genio y tienes todas las herramientas que necesitas,lo que es fundamental,y aprendo de vos, gracias Colega(si te puedo llamar así) si algún día vienes a Cordoba capital Argentina,te llegas por mi house y tomamos un vino con asado Argentino,un abrazo fraternal desde aquí!!😊
Thank you for your generous offer.
And for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. 😊🙏👍
When you get bored, and have nothing better to do, you should build another with the vortex going the other way to see which performs better. Or if there is any difference at all.
Glad your back. I have been looking forward to this video for a while. Also I am jealous as all get out of your metal tools and glad your job is able to allow you to get them.
as in your wife allows you to have them because its related to your job?
This series has me really wanting to buy a welder. I have some modifications I'd like to make to that design to increase the air draw and to recirculate the exhaust - like a DIY afterburner type-thing. Great video.
Great video. good to see you back mate.
Love the Aussie humour :)
Yes Please a video on pattern development!
P.S Congrats on the apprenticeship, onya!!

Ah, the long awaited Part 2!
There is an Australian gentleman who built a catamaran. Very similar emotional levels to you. Both of you are a joy to watch.
Hello... Nice vid... But i think your basket is a little to high... That might be the reason for the smoke at the first time... Cause it will be a burnback into the filler, and there is no air, and than you have smoke... Maybe shut down 10mm from the upper of your basket... And if it was me... I would build an ashtray which is adjustable... So you can give fresh cold air from below... I think that is the best for your stove
I just built my third one and my practice says, give the air from below...
nice design, good to go through it with you.
