Fantastic burner. :) I am so looking forward to your burner burning plastic, I have about 30 five gallon /25 litre containers to get rid of from using waste oil :)
12:10 “every so often it pops” that is water / moisture in the oil and can be very dangerous if you have anything over the heater. One rain drop will make the flame rise several feet… a few drops and it gets intense. Oh, I see you figured that out, haha.
Yes, as I have time. One thing I plan to do is shorten the water-cooled inlet pipe, for a taller reduction zone. I may also switch to water cooled instead of oil cooled, and / or connect it to my hydronic heat system to capture the waste heat.
@@dansw0rkshop I generate tremendous amounts of waste oil from my business, which I currently run through a furnace to heat my shop. I would like to build a charcoal gasifier in order to use it to run a waste oil drip through it. Your design, is the only one I've seen with the cooling jacket, which I think would be necessary to handle the extraordinary heat generated by such a system. I like the idea of combining the charcoal and oil because just about any other system designed to crack only oil will always coke up and create a constant mess to deal with. Running the oil through the charcoal should reduce everything to ash which should be easy to safely clean up and dispose of. Should also generate a very rich gas mixture. I would likely use oil in my cooling jacket in order to have a consistent source of preheated oil to drip through the gasifier. Anyway, I appreciate your hard work, and especially like seeing how you create complex conical shapes, in metal, with simple shop equipment that I already have.
This was intended to provide an overflow if the bottom line got clogged. The oil would overflow in through the top line then, instead of running out all over the ground (or floor etc).
It runs in a little pipe in the bottom, just like Creative Inventions LMTN (did you watch that video?). Ultimately there's just a puddle of fuel in the bottom of the tank, and a drip system to sort of keep up with the burn. Nothing precise at all.
@@dansw0rkshop Thanks... If you want wild run like 5 loops of steel oil feed line around the outside and feed through that once it gets really burning.. you start to burn the oil vapor instead of liquid.. I thought thats how the burner your using worked but the way it looks like the flame come out the hole is deceiving does the curved top to the tank your using impact the burn? Im assuming the flames from the holes is because its the only source of air for it to burn..
You are using a fan in this case a hair dryer not very efficient If you make some modifications you can have a venturie style set up and loose the hair dryer (electricity)
Waiting all your life for a burner like this!! one that takes electricity!?🤨😂 they have been available in hardware stores FOREVER! People used to heat there home with oil since before you existed I think you are a few shingles short of a shake block

Very cool. I have considered distilling oil oil for many years… curious to see your setup. Great video.

Restaurants are a good source for used cooking fryer oil.
Love the content!
Are you planning on making more videos on refinements to the charcoal gasifier?
Yes, as I have time. One thing I plan to do is shorten the water-cooled inlet pipe, for a taller reduction zone. I may also switch to water cooled instead of oil cooled, and / or connect it to my hydronic heat system to capture the waste heat.

Hello. Toward the end of the video you have 2 pipes coming off the oil line. Curious as to what the top pipe is for?
This was intended to provide an overflow if the bottom line got clogged. The oil would overflow in through the top line then, instead of running out all over the ground (or floor etc).
where are you adding fuel? Ive built a couple burners recently just not happy with any of them yet.. This looks like it may make the BTU's I want..

hello nice video.are your holes drilled straight or down
Straight.
great work! following you since "MOT arc welder" project (not sure if the name is accurate, that was a while ago...). greetings from russia !
Thanks for stopping by!

Link? I'm well aware of beckett style burners, I have several. They burn motor oil, yes. But not with a blue flame.
@@dansw0rkshop I didn't say Beckett style burners
