    Excellent video - a ribbon burner is in my future. The switch of my burner from venturi to forced air was already life-changing. ;) Thank you for addressing PSI vs flow rate. I wish I could share that explanation with everyone who wants to build a forge burner. PSI is almost meaningless for measuring gas flow without further information - it took me a long time to figure that out too because the common way to compare burners in almost all forums is to use PSI.

    Nice explanation on the PSI. Majority of the community definably have a misconception on this. More even heat for the same pressure based on burner design? Or is it more heat for similar gas usage to a venturi?

    • @TyrellKnifeworks
      @TyrellKnifeworks  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A ribbon burner is definitely more efficient. Not so much its shape but because it uses forced air vs a venturi. The venturi design requires a lot of gas be blown at higher pressure to cause the venturi effect which draws air down the tube. You also see more gas being burned outside the forge ("dragon's breath") because its not mixing well inside the forge. So it's really the forced air that gives you the gas economy. The ribbon burner equally distributes it across the length of the forge for a more even heat. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

  • @bransonsgeneralstore
    @bransonsgeneralstore 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    A possible way to measure efficiency is by weighing the propane tank. Difference in weight after an hour of running the forge multiplied by BTU/lb of propane will give you the consumption in BTU/hr. Leaving a scale around the tank is useful anyway to check how much propane is left in it, tare weight should be stamped in the ring around the valve.

    @jvmiller1995 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you want to compare the gas usage between ribbon and venturi burner place the bottle on a scale for a hour. weigh it before and after and you can figure how much gas you are using per hour. Do it on both burners. So how many cfm is your blower running. It looks like it burns real good. I keep wanting to up grade but have not done so. But you have about the best design from what I have seen. I am thinking of molding mine with a bit of a taper on it so it always seals good and I do not need the flange around the top.

    • @TyrellKnifeworks
      @TyrellKnifeworks  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Very cool, ribbon burners apart from their efficiency also work a bit better at altitudes so if you're a hillbilly they'll pump out more BTU's than the equivalent set up of Venturi burners. About the only weirdness I ever found with them was they sometimes take some real fiddling to get down to idling flames where its just ticking over, first came across them in big industrial ovens and I think that's were they originated from. Someone needed to cook a pizza in 8min

    G'day Mate. If you weigh the gas cylinder before and after use. Then subtract Start weight by End weight you get the quantity of gas used in kg or lb. Also if you time the run and divide the quantity of gas used by the run time you end up with the flow rate in lb/hr or min. You can work the cost of gas used if you need to know that to.

    Thanks! I hope I'm not driving you crazy with questions, BUT need to ask your opininion on what cracked the original block (KastOLite-30 maybe?)? I simply cannot afford that wonderful Greencast stuff - YIPE$! What if I reinforced the casting with tiny stainless steel fibers or something to help prevent such a crack?
    Oh, and by the way (maybe this will benefit YOU for a change), many ribbon burners can "backfire" or pre-ignite inside the block if they become to hot inside after an hour or so. I have a tiny little 1-1/2 x 6 burner which does that. For that reason, I'm maybe going to paint a little bit of IR reflective Metrikote (cheap version of Satanite high aluminum coating) on the outer face of my burner.

    • @TyrellKnifeworks
      @TyrellKnifeworks  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Kastolite30 is just fine. What cracked mine WAS a piece of steel reinforcement in fact! That steel inside heated up and the burner cracked right through that location. I had the same thought process you are going through thinking it would make it stronger but didn't account for heat. So don't do it! I am finding I have that issue with the backfiring of the burner on my new forge. If I have more air pressure it doesn't happen though. I get it when the flames are "lapping" more. If there's enough air pressure that all the flames on each hole are solid, it doesn't seem to occur. I do find I have to take off the back door on my forge after about an hour or it gets too hot inside when I'm forge welding and this occurs. 😜

I have a lot of hobbies in my retirement. :) So I get the sentiment about enjoying the build.
      I was just offering that not so obvious to everyone solution, which is, to use a Lego like strategy with sacrificial K bricks to reduce the size of the chamber based on what you need at that forging. My main forge 36" long and a dual ribbon made of 10" square steel tube, so I typically only use the first 6-10" unless I'm making a long tool or a sword(which I've never gotten around to making, but was the reason for the long forge design).

    Thanks for sharing. I am about to build one and I really needed to see one of these made. Now, about the pressure/flow rate, those are 2 different things. The forced air (especially the ribbon) burners can work at lower pressure as they don't need the output pressure from the nozzle to create the vortex to suck oxygen in. The size of the orifice is, as you said, bigger in a forced air system so the flow rate (gallon per minute) is still adequate even at 1 (for example) psi. That's how I was taught how the forced air system works, but I might be wrong, since I am not that smart. Do you have any equation to determine the size of the pipe in relation to the size of the forge? Thank you again, i really enjoy your videos

    • @TyrellKnifeworks
      @TyrellKnifeworks  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, but remember psi is not a measure of how much gas is coming out of the tank, just how much back pressure there is. If you have a small opening it it creates more pressure. You could actually have the valve open more and be going through more or less gas. There’s no formula for the pipe diameter but if I were to do it again, I’d go with a 2” pipe and a larger blower.

      @TyrellKnifeworks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure thats enough for a whole video but I'll talk about tuning when I do my forge build in a couple months. Until then... with any forced air burner (ribbon or otherwise), you can control the gas and air separately. If you turn down the gas with the same amount of air, you'll get what's called an oxidizing flame. Lots of heat but also lots of oxidation and very little flames coming out the front. If you turn up the gas with the same amount of air, you'll have a reducing flame which isn't as hot but will burn all its oxygen and flames come out the front of the forge to get more air. If you turn up the gas and the air equally, you'll get more fuel and more air and a hotter flame. Once you've maxed out either your air or your gas pressure, then that's the top end. Make sense?

      @@christopherconkright1317 Of course you need a hot enough flame for the forge welding, but enough gas so that you have a reducing flame is important. Too much air to gas ratio means you'll have an oxidizing flame and that's bad for forge welding. The best way to measure it is how much flame you have shooting out the front of your forge. When forge welding, get it hot enough but have at least 6" of dragon's breath, if that makes sense. Note, On a venturi burner, you always have a lot more dragons breath because there the gas/air doesn't mix as well before it hits the flame, thus the gas hits the outside air and combusts.

    The easiest way to know what your true working pressure is would be to put a gauge between the needle valve and the orifice. Still, a flow meter is more accurate.

    • @TyrellKnifeworks
      @TyrellKnifeworks  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For a ribbon burner, that will usually read zero. There's not enough back pressure to make the gauge read anything because the orifice is large enough to let all the gas through. I had one there and it never registered anything so I took it off. The flow meter from the tank is the only accurate measure.

    first time I have seen this type of burner. I melt iron and started with a venturi "Reil" burner that needed 30 psi (at the orifice). i added a fan to the same device with a butterfly valve to regulate air flow. time to pour was the same with 16psi. forced air is defiantly the way to go plus it has the added benefit of adjusting the A/f mixture from too rich to burn to, too lean to burn. an oxygen free (slightly fuel rich) environment is desired... right? I would suggest that the fuel be added to the airflow closer to the burner reducing the amount of A/F mixture "in process" in case of back flash.

    Temperatures and running time are proportional to the type of gas and gas amount used.. no matter what burner you use .... it is physics...
    The burner gives you the "efficiency" of use, and the "control"...
    You done a pretty good so far, but I always recommend adding a "back fire" prevention arrangement, it would prevent fire to stream back at the mixing tube up to the gas cylinder if it is left unattended... or you face a "power failure" at the blower...
