sounds just like my orchard heater specially when I burn oil in it, so if you took a little more time put a I turn pipe pushing the heat back to the fuel work even better and need less holes.
I just made this. And it worked. I no longer have old oil in buckets in my garage. Laying around. I also don’t have a garage anymore. But. Hay. It did what it was made to do So I say I’m a half glass full kinda guy. 😂
You are definitely wanting this done in a controlled environment. It sure flamed off a lot of energy from that little bit of oil. Sorry the house burnt down, but you at least got heat, lol So Funny.......
What a great view of the inside workings of a waste oil burner not covered up by the outer shell. This helps to understand how to build a better more efficient heater. Thanks Gerry
This is a great learning example. To burn cleanly you need to match the vaporizer surface area to the airflow. The sputtering like a pulse jet says not enough airflow, with a tin that large as a gas generator, it needs a lot more air. That is also why you are getting flame and smoke out of the flue making way more gas than you have O2 to burn. A conical oil pan allows you to tune the oil vaporization surface to the airflow by simply varying the oil level in the pan. Designing it so the inlet air passes thru a pre-heater also makes it WAY more efficient and less susceptible to wind. Thanks for the video:)
Rronmar, very interesting comments. How small could the burner be if it had a flue pipe of only 40mm diameter? Or what diameter conical oil pan would you use for a stove with a 40mm flue?
Tim Telemark not sure for a 40mm, quite a few variables how tall is the flue, what fuel ect. I have been experimenting with a 3”/75mm flue(54” tall) and a 3” burner with a little over 1’ center airfeed pipe. 3” diameter area is about 7 sq/in minus the center leaves about 6sq/in of fuel area. With that much draft and motor oil it is way too much gas generated and it flares and sputters like this vid. Going to build another one with a 1 3/4” center air pipe( just under 4 sq/in fuel area) and see how that balances out. Also have an idea to simply regulate airflow to help tune it, but it is a fine balance also between air volume and velocity/turbulence. More air holes = more air volume but also = lower velocity and less turbulence which helps combustion efficiency and overall temp.
Thanx its good to know others opinion you seem to know whats what look its a bit fun i wouldnt do it myself knowing me id blow myself up anyhow thank you
Sounds like a V1 buzz bomb. Nice and dangerous, I kept waiting for the flue to fall over, and eventually it did. No, it's good to see how simple the idea is. I can see many applications that you could adapt to work with it. Thanks for showing us..
OMG, that was entertaining to watch the entire way thru, what with the Irish accent, the simplistic attitude and the raw fire power just waiting for idk, something more than just heat.
I love how you use the heat escaping the pipe to draw the fresh air in. Many others have to or choose to use a fan or forced air of some type and then adjust the fuel to meet that air. Your fires are automatic in a sense and perfect.
Made me chuckle just listening to the roar from it. It reminded me of an oil and water burner we once made... It worked with oil and water drops, but so long ago now I can't remember... I'll google it. Great video, thank you
yeah your a total stud! thanks for the video, you made the idea rather simplistic by your example! thanks for taking the time to make it....also I liked the effect the wind had, it made it pretty cool! Im gonna build one now
Hi Mike. That unit is very easy to make to see the available heat in waste oil. I made a more durable and much safer unit and you can see it running with and without a fan th-cam.com/video/kQNkefOdwUg/w-d-xo.html It works really well and if you check my playlists you will see a ton of videos on how to make it. Cheers Gerry
Hi D A. I dont need one either but I cant stop making videos lol. Cooking on this stove was fun too th-cam.com/video/tnzEDEpz3Yk/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry👍
"okay so it's a bit dangerous" ... ,[Short pause] ... "okay a lot dangers' ... Danger notwithstanding it was an excellent experiment and an excellent video thank you
I love this vidio!!! If conditions are right where nothing will be damaged, I'd try anything!!! This is right up my alley! Thanks Gerry! It just so happen I have an old milk can, stove pipe and old oil
Hi Curt. It really goes nuclear so be careful. The biscuit tin setup was just for fun but I use similar designs in my shed heater and I am now making a water heater stove. here's a link to some of my video builds goo.gl/96qYye Cheers Gerry

Hi All After making this demo burner I made a fully working burner out of steel and installed it in my homemade stove. This new burner can be built for just a few dollars and can make my stove GLOW RED hot. Here's a link th-cam.com/video/ShTLaYKjzxw/w-d-xo.html Cheers Gerry
Hey Gerry, Im reallly happy with your videos. Im building a steam steam boiler to power a steam engine for electrical power and I have been researching for a year now different ideas. I have literally an unliited amount of waste oil available so thats my fuel of choice. I have seen most of your videos and Id like to say thanks for such a great job. I will try to video my build as much as possible and if you ever see it, Im sure you will see your thumbprint in there. Great job. Happy New year,.
Hi Byronsowntime. I will make one with veggie oil tomorrow. It will burn the same but I have something a little different in mind. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Neat and fun presentation. I would use alcohol to start the burn as it is much more readily combustible. An oil burner with a blue flame would be a bit more efficient and clean burning.
Of course its just a feasibility experiment . Simple and dangerous but I appreciate the effort. It's very beneficial to understand how simple these can be and then grow into elaborate. THANKS
I was waiting for the pipe to get Airborne 😜 but the burner actualy works real well. My old cheap ass garage used simular system to Heat up the romney hut.
Hi Darcy. Makes a ton of heat for a Sweet tin. I made a more robust version for the shed. Here's a a link th-cam.com/video/lU93mSoaJEk/w-d-xo.html Cheers Gerry
great stuff. I have just bought a house that in the garage there is a drip feed burner but for the life of me I cant get it to burn oil. so I will try this method on the heating oil
Hi MrFermanaghman Had a quick look at your channel. Well done getting up and running and it's going well too with all the subs. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍
That is a valveless pulse jet engine you have there on the table. Even the sound and the frequency shows that it is related to the length of the vertical pipe, The inlet is the normal intake of a pulse jet which expands into the tin combustion tin chamber, with the expansion and the convection in the long pip sets into oscillation and even pushes the flame out of the intake at the resonant frequency. It all glows as a valveless pulse jet. Really these are all thermodynamic heat engines and the rate and intensity at which the activity occurs differs the product from being a furnace, a heater, or jet engine all operating by the fuel being used. The compression being produced does not permit this " engine" to operate in any other orientation other than vertical where convection airs the system flow through the pipe. A few of these beside each other and we could make a church organ out of the different frequencies being produced!
My brother had an old 55 gallon drum in the rafters of his garage. He pumped waste oil up to it. The bung was necked down to 3/8"copper. It had a ball valve poked in a funnel in the top of another drum that was a kit door ,flue and it sat on bricks He had a car detailing shop to save him buffing disc pads. He'd pour a shot glass of gas on a buffing pad and lay it in the stove,light it and open the ball valve to drip on the pad so it would burn like a wick until you turned it off. 1 pad per day and free oil. Its pipe would get near white,if you didn't back off the oil's trickle.

Going to make one for the mother in law, Christmas present she loves Quality Streets.
Ahh Mother in laws. God bless them. I would need something more powerful for mine. lol Thanks for the comment Made me laugh. 👍 Cheers Gerry
Excellent, I’m gonna make these for the kids rooms. Thanks 🤩
OMG NOOO! p-lease! how far do you live from the nearest fire station, and hospital?
Lolll
Don't forget the marshmellows. 🤣

Hi Brett. I have a 30 foot x 20 shed and apparently it's not big enough lol. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Gerry
Gerry what did you
Jerry any idea the btus it puts out? Thanks
Wrap a few turns of copper around the base of the flue / chimney and feed water through it, you can now produce free hot water !
"Don't do this at home." In the background, his home. ;-) haha - love it!
I'll go to my friend's house so that I'm not at home when I do it.
love it Gerry,,, lets see it burning with veg oil.....
Hi Byronsowntime. I will make one with veggie oil tomorrow. It will burn the same but I have something a little different in mind. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Thanks Gerrry cant wait ... love watching your stuff...
Looks pretty cool blowing out those cookie tin ports
Awesome share 👌
This is a fantastic presentation
Thumbs up just for putting in the outtakes.
Great video of a simple concept.
Have you used a gas oil mix
Used to heat troops for years. I like the easy setup. Genius
Neat and fun presentation. I would use alcohol to start the burn as it is much more readily combustible. An oil burner with a blue flame would be a bit more efficient and clean burning.
I'll bet the California Air Quality Board is good with this... guess I'll have to make one now!
Thank you for being honest about the flume. Still awesome.
