Vortex Rocket Stove Pt 1

- This one is a keeper and was not hard to build.
The body consists of two main parts a 4.5 inch diameter pipe, 33 inches long for the riser and a 6 by 4 inch piece of RHS, 20 inches long as the burn chamber.
The pellet hopper was 3inch by 3 inch stainless steel SHS, 14 inches long. The pellet burner was 5 inches deep, leaving an inch at the bottom of the burn chamber for air flow. The secondary air intake inside the pellet hopper is 1.5 inches by 2 inches in width and depth and went the full length of the hopper which was 14 inches. Hopefully with all these dimensions and the video, you should be able to reproduce this.
I had a lot of fun making this, and I hope you have fun watching it. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thanks for the commentary. Personally I think it adds enormously to how enjoyable the video is, but also how instructive it is. Hearing you talk about the “why” of what you’re doing, rather than just watching you doing it, helps those of us with minimal experience and knowledge. Great to listen to an Australian accent!!
Thanks and please keep sharing your ideas with us.
Thanks Bill 👍
Just keep your videos in your own style mate, theres always gonna be arm chair critics. love your videos
So true. I love other folks vids that inspire me to build on.
You help me create from what I see from your work. Your inspiration, is my master piece!
The ego feeds those arm chair critics. 😡
Critics only criticize, they don't built anything. Keep them videos coming!
Here’s a quick tip about scribes. Almost all tri-squares come with a built-in scribe but most people don’t seem to know it’s there. That thing that looks like an adjustment knob pulls straight out (they’re rarely threaded). Give it a sharp tug. You now have between your thumb and index finger a scribe that looks like an upholstery needle. It is case hardened and intended to make scribe lines. Push it back in when you’re done. There’s a spring to hold it in place for next time.
You’re welcome.
I don't think this guy is taking our advice lol
Wow, thanks!
Yep, they are in the Starrett machinist squares.
You are a light bulb, positive energy and support sustain the brightness of your creativity. The less than significant trollers spew only the obstacles of negativity and Vail the radiance of your accomplishments. Do not subject yourself to giving them even a voice. In a word or two of every message you will know their intention, stop delete comment without finishing the message. You take the time to read it you are letting them slow and doubt the flow. You are great and do not change. Thank you in advance for making your craft seem simple enough anyone can do it.
Your videos are a good learning experience. Your humor is over the top. The best way to learn something is when the teacher keeps it interesting and your humor keeps me coming back for more. Hurry up and get over your cold and make Part 2, Part 3, and so on. May God continue to bless you and your family & chickens!
Thanks mate!
Regarding your question about the length, you speaking, etc.: This is the first of your videos I've ever seen, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I agree.
I second this. Starting to get into welding as a hobby and while I use MIG and flux core it was very informative of how you were doing everything! Awesome for us newbies.
I concur
I’m here for the “Rocket Stove” design … but I don’t do welding. 😢
Watching this is making me want to learn, omg! 😂
Great video. For someone like me with limited knowledge - & welding skills - it's very helpful. Can I just suggest to make it even more so, just a few quick sketches with commentary on your intentions would be an added bonus to dopes like me. Plz keep going. Love it. 👍
i like the length and the more talking gives more insight as to what your trying to achieve
I agree
I agree as well!
ahem!
gentlemen...
thats what she said.
I like the accent! Seriously, I'm interested in attempting something similar.
@@PirateHeadspace The accent, or the stove ??
Loved the rambling. People who don't like to hear you talk can just turn the volume down. Really enjoyed the content. Keep it coming.
My friend, I personally appreciate your methods and your character that you have shown us on video. I can watch and listen to a genuine person while I'm in the garage. Please, if you really don't want to, just be who you are. I appreciate all your efforts and time. Thank you
Thank you Sir, I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. 😊
1) You make cutting with an angle grinder an art form. Mad respect!
2) Your subtle humor is hilarious.
3) Keep up the good work as this is very entertaining and educational. Thank you!
some of the best stick welding I have seen in my 75 years .. I have a theory on the vortex . Based on my model gas turbine combustion chamber experiments . Your thoughts are going in the right direction . a straightforward Vortex is nice .. but the rotating direction swiftly accelerates the burning gases . this acceleration is counter productive . The secret is to achieve a torroidal vortex which rotates slower imagine a doughnut shape, Larger volume , slower flow allowing for more thorough mixing . attached to the bottom of the riser .where the fuel and airflow is mixed prior to exiting into the riser... your ideas are showing excellent logic .congrats. Richard in Alvito Portugal.
you freehand that grinder like a magic wand!
Your video is just fine , in fact I watched it from begging to end .. this is a awesome build .. I made one 2 years ago nothing compared to your build but then again I had a grinder, and I never welder before in my life , so I bought a little cheap one and I built my stove ... I use it for heat everyday so it has held up quite well . For mine I made different inserts for different fuel , so far I have an insert for sawdust , wood pellets, used motor oil, and of coarse wood . I put a handle on the back of mine for traveling purposes if need be it's centered for even weight. I have heat ducting that goes to the roof, then it runs the whole length of the living room cuts across and the runs all the way back the other side and then out . I live in Canada and this bad boy has kept me warm, well this is my 3rd winter now ..
It's not as convenient as a normal heater that a house has , one you can just turn on and forget about ... I am constantly filling and timing burns , also I can't just leave with it on . Well I guess I could but that's not my style , I make sure she's out before I leave . Other than that free heat is where it's at..
The vortex really has my attention and curiousity if you don't mind can you explain it a little more , like how it works and stuff like that . If not I will do my own research it's no problem ...
Thanks great video
I laughed really hard when you rode the scooter backwards to the shop! 😂😂😂
Your daughter is lucky to have such a good dad keeping her doll safe.
I really like your simple approach. I have always turned down by DIY videos where something gets fabricated in a professional workshop. It is kinda let dow that makes me think: "I can never achieve this since I don not have the equipment needed". When looking your videos people realise that you do not need much to be able to fabricate stuff. Thank you for inspirational videos.
"Mmm, my hammer's a bit blunt...." Priceless, I love that kind of dead pan
I like the information you give, I don't like watching a video without a voice.
Great video, I really like the design work and hearing your thought process. Can’t wait to see more. 👍
I like the length of the video and the instructions are what I come for. You’re a great teacher. We can always fast forwards if we need to. Thank you sir.
Fabulous presentation. I had a couple of direction changes directly because of your video
Love your kit! Keep talking lol😂.
First time watcher! Well done! 😊
your new microphone is awesome . and if some one says for you not to talk the can just stop that..
i know as a builder i talk things out as well. also hearing your thoughts helps true viewers that want
learn more insight . your very smart man and please dont stop trying new things cause thats how we all
can see things transform.
ps your family is awesome!!
Outstanding video & work! I nominate you as WeldingTips&Tricks2! You don't need to change a thing. We all can keep on learning. Thanks!
Have to say really like Your humor and the skills You have learned . Thanks for sharing . Blessings to You and Yours !
Sound quality was great. Talking about what you are doing and thinking is great, because it helps us to understand why you are proceeding along a specific path. I like this because it really helps me to walk through the process rather than to simply watch whatever you are doing.
I've been watching rocket stove build videos for over 6 years now most are pretty dry and boring. This was the first one I found myself laughing and truly enjoying.
Thank you
As a fireguard in a yard I watched welders for many hours, but I never learned more about this art then here and now. Thanks dude!
I hardly realized you were talking while you gave me information. I'd call that: "agreeable and satisfying". Keep it on!
Very cool. One suggestion that I think would be awesome, is a kind of Ignitor for the pellets, made from the center carbon rods found in torch batteries, the older kind with zink cylinder. After the carbon rods have been harvested from the torch batteries, then they may become part of a permanent Ignitor.
I really appreciated the way you take your audience along on your journey. You show us clearly what you did AND explain your thoughts behind what you are trying to achieve.
Thanks.
I am interested to see/hear what you have to report, as you continue with your future designs.
Your commentary of process and thoughts are intrinsic and absolutely necessary, it really is quite entertaining and, of course, very educational.
Keep on doing what you are doing.
Thank you for sharing.
Bloody hell mate. After seeing those welds I'm going to throw everything I've welded away. I've never seen anyone use a stick welder so well. Especially me when I attempt it maybe every two years.
You're practically a genius mate. Don't make excuses about your talking. It's necessary, because you had to explain. Thanks for the generosity of sharing your talent.
Most makers on TH-cam can’t weld to save their lives! Glad to see a maker who can weld pretty good! It’s soothing!
Thanks bro
@@LittleAussieRockets welcome! I am a welder/fabricator, a mechanic, and an RV Technician. I’m passionate about what I do so it’s good to see someone else who is as well!
I like this style and format, the explanations along with demonstration are full of details that are extremely helpful and interesting. Great Success
Excellent demo. I appreciate the extra talking as it allows you to provide the details that educate those of us who aren’t just watching to watch, but may want to attempt all or part of your projects. I am about to attempt my first welded rocket and watched to learn more (I usually make them out of concrete, cob or firebrick). The welding tips (reverse polarity) and the basket bending jig were of great value, that and your sense of humor. I need to head over to Jody’s channel as well. Keep doing your videos they way you want to. Like you said, you can’t please everyone. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks mate, I have learnt a lot from your work. much appreciated.
Some people are into action, others are into reflection. I guess you and me are into both. I don't think you talk too much. Images without explanation are not always self-explaining. I personally would have liked some more introduction about the 'vortex rocket' principle. I know about rockets, the vortex is new to me. As David said, stick to your own style, just be yourself after all. And to those who don't like that, they're free to go spend their time elsewhere, aren't they?
And by the way, you're a damn good welder, mate! Wish I was that good at multiple techniques, like you are.
Keep up the good work and thanks a lot!
Good video, nice design. However, I'm 80 years old, and lack the wonderful equipment that you have, so simple would be advisable. Thanks I enjoyed watching it
Lovely video. Please keep on making them
Keep on keeping on! Be who you are, you’re the director & producer. It’s quite easy to be an armchair quarterback. As others have said you cannot please everyone but being enthusiastic and satisfied w/ what you do and your process comes across. This keeps me watching and learning! Thanks!
The way you built the air inlet made it easy for the vortex to form! (36':30" and 38':48")
Recommended by YT, listened to you for 54 seconds, like your style, going to see more of you. Thanks for filming the effort involved. Tell you what your game at tackling 200x100 box section
Just happened upon your video. Hats off to
You, Sir ! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
You have killer welding skills. Great at instructing - concept, informative and clear speaking voice. Easy to follow and great humor, stay your authentic Self. 👍🏻
I really enjoyed the video, and your commentary, very informative. Looking forward to the next one.
You Sir, are a real craftsman. I've enjoyed your video very much. Keep them as they are. Thank you.
Watched a few of your videos now and it's nice to see someone who can actually weld (I can too btw). Still, for those that can't. fun projects like rocket stoves are a good way to learn, so why not?Even though I have no real need for a rocket stove, I built a basic one a few years ago and still have fun playing with it now. Love this build you did here. very impressive. Looking forward to part 2.
You are top notch, don't change a thing.Your style is most enjoyable ,helps me enjoy my shop when I take a break from welding.
Please keep taking. I’m not a metal worker, so any expectations are good. Some people are conversant in what you’re doing. I’m not,so explaining what you’re doing helps a lot.TY
Format; It tend to work best staying true to yourself and do whatever you feel right. As long as you deliver good content and so you do, I learnt stuffs. Thanks. Nice stove ! :)
Thanks 👍 I appreciate it.
Really enjoyed it . A good balance between talk and work. I enjoys watching your interaction with the kids and the chooks. its one of the unique appeals of your channel. I'll be waiting for the follow up...
It is enjoyable to watch a fellow craftsman, your votex maker portion was well thought out and nicely done into the project!
Firstly don't change your format too much, It's fine. Seconly you really got that Vortex going, well done. Can't wait for part 2.
I haven't seen good old use of the noodle (brain) like this in a very long time. Well done! And oh! The talking helps me understand the flow of things. Cheers, Mate!
I'm Japanese, I love the outdoors, this video is exciting, thank you
I like watching the way you work. well done. It's like hanging out at a mates shed and I'm drinking a beer while you work.
Really like the effect that you got with this. I am an artist myself . . . You have put more time into this project than I think I would. I can see how much it paid off.
Tip: put the welding rods in a 400f oven, for 10 to 20 mins to dry them out, use right out of the oven. Saw it in an old welding book.
Was just going to say that, they don't have an expiration date, just need to dry them out.
Ive got 30yo electrods, good as new, except if coatings have chiped off.
Thanks, great video. 😊
I use to have a rod oven. Bought at the local welding supplier. All my rods stayed in it and turned it up in the morning when I got to the shop.
Keep the rods in a junk refrigerator with a light that stays on constant.
Richard ti An old welder told me to buy a toaster over from a garage sale. Said they work great for drying out rods.
I've seen welder reps dip rods in water, wipe them off, and then weld with them. I suspect that the moisture concern is no longer relevant with modern rods.
That vortex looks awesome. It should be on display.
I really enjoyed that and a great result. I used to teach engineering and I can really appreciate your work. Excellent.
Awesome. Looks great. Love the ramblings, great for comedic relief. 😁👍
Thank you so very much for showing how to build them. And explain the build. Cheers Hakan
I am following Rovket Stoves for quite some time now. This is indeed the best Rocket stove, your style is great, stay original, what u r. Holly grail of Rocket Stoves 🥰
Fantastic video. Loved the talking. And all the details.
As a fellow Queenslander , I have enjoyed all your videos . this new format is good and keeps me interested the whole time . Cheers
I like when you’re talking because you kind of tell me what you’re doing and just different things I need to know that I like to know that so keep it up and I can’t wait to see this thing finished
Nice welds.
You are a top notch craftsman.
I have been very interested in the vortex effect and how to take advantage of it. It is how planets are made, how black holes function and galaxies rotate.
I live off grid in south central Oregon and am devising a way to use the vortex effect with a waste oil burner. I love the pellet option on your rocket stove. I have a giant Timberline wood stove and I am going to add a pellet option to it now that I have seen your video. So it will be tri-fuel. Wood, oil and pellet. The only wood here is juniper and pine. Juniper burns hot but like Pine does not make lasting coals. It gets REALLY cold here and I need to reduce my petrochemical use. It's killing me financially.
I have only been welding for around 4 years now and I am gonna check out the man you mentioned. I am getting pretty good so I love finding people I can learn from.
Bought myself a welder to build me also a rocket stove, because I like your videos and info. Thanks and keep on burning those pellets, greetings
I really ebjoy the instructional and practicality of your vision
The video was clear and the comments rather relevant and sometimes amusing. Well dosed in any case so not boring to follow. Bravo for the dexterity, the precision and the beautiful welds. You're an artist, keep going!
Thank you Sir
Great video, thanks for sharing and keep talking, it's your video, you're in charge.
I think you do an excellent job, you are incredibly skilled craftsman, good luck with all your future Rockets.
Well done Sir!!! It was a great video that kept my attention. Thank you for sharing. 🇺🇸
Really nice welding skill. Subscribed, Liked. Good design. Good hint with reversing the polarity.
I'm trying to build rocket stoves I love your videos and I like this one really well more detail and easier to tell what your doing
Don’t sweat the haters. You will find your grove. Your audience will settle out nicely. Keep it up.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I can appreciate your comments while you're working. I have a tendency to do the same.
Cleverly done nice welding and fittings keep warm and safe 👍😁
I only learn so much by watching what You are doing . When You tell Us what You're doing , I can put it together @ understand what You are doing ( to a certain extent , ... sometimes ) . I couldn't BEGIN to build a tiny percent of the projects I've watched You build ! You are quite the designer / fabricater / weilder / etc / ect / ect ! I could go on @ on ... I said ALL that , to say this , keep on keeping on . Do what You do best ! We'll keep on watching !! Great videos , thank You!!
Thanks, like your style, and very much sense of humour. Like the new mic, keep talking. Cheers from Perth
Nice job! Hope you do more video's. Thank you!
The best way to TEST is to make everything adjustable....
Love your welding skills. You talk just enough. Thanks for a great maker video!
Educational, entertaining (a little :) ) but very informative. Going to Pt 2. That vortex swirl is awesome!!!!
Wow! You are quite the fabricator in general and a real wizard with a stick welder. Inspiring.
I liked your narration. I wouldn't change it.
I watched many of your videos. I would really like to see the continuation of this one!
This is a sweet build. I am going to have to look into the Razor welder. It looked very nice.
I had no idea what I was watching, and I didn’t care. You kept me hooked for 40 min. I’ll be back for more!
New sub here. These vortex stove build videos are the 1st & 2nd of yours I've watched - and they're great! I enjoy the format and the duration. I find them very relaxing and informative.
As someone new to welding, I would appreciate more insight into welding: the settings used for different welds, why you do what you do, and use what you use. You have enviable welding & fabrication skills and a teacher's demeanor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience - especially the errors. In my experience, troubleshooting and solving problems are always a part of building something new.
I don't watch videos where something magically gets created via a quirky, 5x speed montage. Lastly, the host is shown adding the last element with his/her shiny & clean sponsored pro grade tool. Not a single misstep or problem, nor speck of dirt in the shop. If I want to watch science fiction, I'll just watch a movie instead.
Cheers and keep up the good work!
>piece falls onto the floor after getting cut off.
“...blimey.”
Don’t ask me why the fuck I find that so hilarious, but I definitely do. This guy is great
100% agreed random internet friend!
Great Video! Eagerly waiting for Pt 2.
New here. Time to watch the welding, an Art I never learned.
Big changes in wifey & my life. Homesteading is the goal of this Jack of Trades.
Too bad you had to buy a folder. We had a couple circa 1915 & 1937 that went to scrap when crony politics forced the mom&pop I worked for off the airport.
An old machine shop also closed and scrapped all his lathes and mills and tooling. TRAGIC!
Freight to AU would have been astronomical.
Thanks for your generous sharing! Your channel is added to my iPhone screen.
Just found your channel, love your presentation style and project and that arc welding was incredibly satisfying to watch! I have been trying to arc weld like that for years and let’s just say, I love my Mig welder 😂
Really enjoyable presentation. Much better than many TV shows. From Mexico 🇲🇽 I'm building one of those rocket stoves and will "steal" some of your ideas.
To see the vortex of water leaving a container drop some food dye in not heaps, went to Canada years ago and first chance at my hotel room checked the water draining out was glad to see anti clockwise as up in North Queensland it almost always drained clockwise, but over the next few days noticed in Canada drained clockwise.
Amazing stuff! This was really cool to watch and learn
I loved the hammer trick for cutting that curve in the sheet-metal. I'll have to practice that, it will save a lot of time.
1st time viewer. Not a fabricator. Just someone who went down a youtube rabbit hole and found this. Take this for what it is.
I enjoyed this video very much. It was like watching a cooking vid in french in places...but that's alright. I don't think you were too chatty.
I'll look for the continuation of this project.
Thanks for the upload. ( did hit 'thumbs up'...but not sub...yet)
My wife agrees with you 🤣
Loved this video. I learned a lot and the new vortex design is really great. Can't wait to watch #2
Thanks Douglas 👍
Your talking is fine, and you don't have a screechy or otherwise annoying voice. You don't over-explain things, and you don't make silly and useless commentary along the way. You're fine as you go.
I enjoy your videos, and this one was definitely not too long. Looking forward to seeing this project complete! (Oh, and it looks like you had that vortex actually working-- very cool!)
Rock on!
The talking is great. Great vortex! Super video thanks
You have great skills fabricating. I'm a fabricator, myself, and must say: you are the most comfortable and accomplished left-handed person with using a side grinder I've ever seen
(it is NOT easy, they are designed to be used by right-handed people...).
try to turn the angle head 180degrees - it can be done to most of the grinders and hey presto! you have your lefty grinder :D
@@jonWilk8156 Old comment but it got me thinking after reading both responses including the suggestion to rotate the head and my conclusion is the direction of rotation comes into play. Unlike vortices which change direction from north to south hemispheres, angle grinders don't change direction according to who's using them so pushing/pulling forces on contact are inverted for left-handers. Aside from that, I doubt it's much of an obstacle with enough practice, like most things.
Just a sidenote, the Coriolis effect is nonsense (specifically NON-science), there is no such thing, earth is not "spinning", that's all fraud science.
That's a really neat trick you learned from the learn to weld channel, for those who do not have a nice machine like that it's also possible to just slide the collar halfway off the end and weld half of it and flip it over and do the other half the same way. No penetration and it will hold it's shape perfectly.
rambling and Aussie oddities all day long mate !
