FAQ:
- burn time of a log is 2h
- they dry up to 14 days depends on weather
- u can use all materials that can be shredded and will burn ( tree leaves, dry grass, cotton, pine needles, etc.)
- log burns out completely
- i did that just for concept of proving it can be done
- pipe in the middle is for water drainage and for centering the piston - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
This is a great idea. I'm getting a cubic grizzly woodstove next year and making smaller versions of these will keep me warm all winter. We have plenty of scrap paper and sawdust around here.
absolute genius, parts from semi truck pipe, blander from alternator, seal drivers for the big truck wow wow. i got everything i need!
great job. I was thinking along the same lines but was planning on using all thread and adjustable slots so that you move the steel plates up on the press for each lift.
Interesting, I like the mixture idea; I add used cooking oil also. . I decided not to use a jack - takes too long to go through the process. I decided to use a split mold so I didn't have to press out the bricks, I only had to crack open the mold and out came the bricks. Thanks for the insight.
Thanks! We did some modifications(springs for lifting hydraulic jack back in to start position) I'll add update when ill get around :D
thank you so much for this video. I am sure your idea of using a jack will come in very handy with our briquette project in Zambia.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you will share your project on one of social media.
A very nice video on the subject. Everything detailed out in picture -no need to listen to or understand the language of comments. That's how the You Tube videos has to be.
Thanks!
Those logs look great, cool idea, well done!
The center hole from the pipe lets the brick burn more efficiently. You can do it with out it, it also dries faster with it in there. Hope this helps
A TH-camr i watched put used coffee grounds in and let the mix ferment for 2 months. His bricks burnt hotter and longer than others because of the oil in the coffee grounds.
Time is on your side my friend obviously it would not work for everyone but very resourceful non the less.
Hey, sorry for late reply! I really have no idea how would rice-husk work, because where i live we have lots and lots of sawdust and no rice-husk. But in my experience anything that burns and soaks up the water and can be blend is ok to use. Ive tried making some with tree leafs and it was just ok. Maby ill do video on that in autumn.
Nice work man I love your work, hope to watch more of your lovely videos
Such a great idea
Dang bro, those are some nice looking finished briquettes. I'd like to make buy a press and try sawdust and leaves as we have a TON of leaves every year that we pay to have the city come and recycle for us. I could get all the free leaves I want from my neighborhood. Very cool
Thanks for suggestion but, entirely new designee with automatic hydraulic press is currently being assembled.
So at this point i don't see to much point for further improvement of this press.
Once they are lit you can smolder them in an airtight container and it'll turn into charcoal, increasing its energy content in terms of heat value.
Wow, what a process! Since you are doing it on a much bigger scale than the average Joe, you might consider contacting a local paper mill. Tell them what you are doing. Ask them for their sludge. You can pick it up in 5 gallon buckets. That will keep you from burning up your drill motor because the sludge can be used instead of shredded newspaper. The paper mills might be able to help fund you turning this into a business.
fabulous, original Preston log, well done.
thanks
Hi Triwiwer, thank you! Simply means yet very clever. And generously shared.
Thanks! Appreciate your comment. Lately i don't have much time to play around with this project..so its on standby. But i hope in winter ill find some time and finish up the project.
I'm flattered that you take me for a man ;-)
Lorayne Caburubias sorry fixed the problem :P
Awesome man, congrats.
+Airton Junior Thanks!
Hell yes. Nice stockpile.
Nicely done!!!
Yes this is exact point of making hole in my briquettes.
Thats fantastic, great method.
+Annaed marie Thanks!
Excellent video!
This would be pretty handy to have. I need to make one with my powerarc.
You are good prepared for Long and cold winters!
At: 3:56 you are adding a block under the jack - dangerous. You need to create an inset so that the piston rod fits into the jack's bottom to prevent the piston rod from slipping away from the jack. Overall good production and build. Thumbs up.
You could put a handle on the jack also. Process so time consuming.
Best system seen today! ! !
Thanks!
Wish you had a video of the press build.. hope the new one your going will have one
Pretty creative
Thank you very much these are great
nice one we built one like this but makes one at a time from the looks of it that stock pile must of taken some time :) im kinda new to this ryt now so i need to get the mix right and stuff first but i made a couple today ill see how they dry out :)
Add coffee grain waste - great binder, and smells great too !
looks just like the giant swimming pool of pulp at paper plant i worked at once they made the recycled brown paper towels that suck there lol
Great video
Great simple build, good burn times on the logs as well, thanks for sharing, what is the length and diameter of the pipe?
I'm trying to figure out how powerful a jack I need to buy. I'm going to make one of these with my powerarc.
lol i have a fruit press, i will try that, it has a screw down press and works well on fruit. The bricks would be round though!
Not only I like your work, but also love your smoothly soothing music. What a gift God gave you Gracefully to enjoy my living in these TRUMPY TIMES.
very clever indeed
absolute class
Thanks! :D
I think I will build one of those things as an attachment for my hydraulic log splitter the small limbs off the trees I cut for fire wood should make good logs and won't have to go to waste I like your recipe for the log mix thanx
Good One!!
I like the simple design of your press, as well the final product. Can you please send me details about it? I have also some work done, and want to wider the job.
I should make one of these with my everlast welder.
thanks for sharing...
Good job
Excellent idea great pice of craft I would consider the idea of adding an electric motor that pumps the hydraulic press would save you time and effort there is videos of how to make one of you can figure a way to add it to the machine would make it easyer for you
It looks to me as though it will be much easier to dry the round briquettes than rectangular ones. Perhaps a larger hole in the middle would assist drying and burning too - ? Good job though. I have a woodburner and am building a cardboard shredder and press.
MARAVILLOZO ... SALUDOS Y GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ..
Did you ever make the automatic hydraulic one? Link if you did please.
how long do you let the newly pressed "logs" dry before they useable ? I saw whole sheets of paper in the mix ..have you thought about adding a paper shredder ?
Wouldn't drilling a hole in a log be faster and achieve the same outcome? Great music.
Center hole and that pipe in the middle are there on purpose. More in FAQ in the video description.
Great Job TDT, Another way to get the Blender Blades, Similiar shaped things from a Timber yard suppliers, for Bolting timbers together
I have a few out in the shed somewhere, yes, Somewhere !!!!!
Peter Breslin Would love to see what things do u actually think, because would be cool to se if i could make some improvements whit that.
They are the same as your Alternator Wheels but not as strong, I have to get a Rod that fits snuggly inside them, will get back to you when i get it Fitted and , In action. Dont think you have to make any changes to your design, your mulcher is very advanced compared to others I`ve seen, But you could do wth a Handle to Pump the Jack, and a Funnelll to reduce spillage. But this are simple , you have made a great video. and I think you could bag and sell them going dorr to door. Good Luck
Pete
Nice! How do they burn? How do you decide when to burn briquettes and when to burn the wood you have?
Suggestions
Cap or plug off top of drain pipe?.
Make funnel to add the pulp
This ideas are welcome. I'm currently working on a new press smaller more compact version. And ill try to improve some of the things you have mentioned.
@@Triwiwer thanks for the feedback of my feedback...lol
My father would of loved this bless his soul.
Got a labor saver suggestion. Why dont you make an eccentric cam for your drill and let it do the work of running the jack lever??
Precisa de cola para preparar o material do briquete?
pretty cool....how do they burn compared to real wood...i see u have them outside,,,how to they stand up against snow and rain !?
They burn for approximately 2h each...usually i contaminate briquets with wood so i start the fire and put on 2 or 3 briquets and on top i fill up the wood. And than furnace is burning round 6-7h.
can you post details of how you made the blender? It looks really neat and works very well.
It is made out of 2 alternators fans welded on a long iron rod.
Thanks! They burn approximately for 2h each.
Can u send me email for how to make briquette machine with different mechanisms
Neat, more like a log...
Yes it really looks like a log :P
Be nice to see one of these burn. Most comments on paper/sawdust logs is that they are hard to burn if no added veggie oil or something waxy?
Yea i would add video of log burning, but i actually don't have this press anymore. But i can tell you these logs burn completely. All that was left was some fine dust. If you meant they are hard to catch fire, i never experienced that with these logs. And i never tried to mix any wax or oil to mixture. I once tried to add flour i had left and went bad, but result was kinda explosive. When i was pressing mixture exploded and shot out those fine holes, made a big big mess. I'm still planing on making a hydraulic version of press but I'm currently trying to find financial resources to execute this project.
@michael knowlden you could try that. Please tell me results. But if bricks are really dry i had no problem lighting them up.
I've found the less ingredients, the better they burn.
Hey! I make them and than stack them like you saw in video. And than they are there until autumn. But they would burn well after 14 to 20 days of drying. There is really no use for shredder even if there are some sheets of whole paper, they are wet and so the force of press will incorporate them in final log. Never had problems wit that. And i think that my home made blender does the job just fine. Ty for comment and Cya!
I do the paper first using hot water, it emulsifies better
zapravo me interesuju dimenzije i detalji konstukcije. hvala unapred.
This looks like something i may try in the future.
Do you happen to have a video of them being lit and how they burn?
Thanks
The video is coming up soon. Just editing is taking longer then i thought it will.
Yea I'm with ya on the impact but id use a screw type car jack...
Can this process be follow for rice husk also
Have you ever considered using a cement mixer to blend your mix?
I think it would work. But method i used produces nicely blended and shredded pulp and finer end result.
Thanks for comment!
if we use rice-husk, instead of sawdust, what will be the proportion of ricehusk and water..???
is this idea good...?? is it gonna be more efficient and better than coal, for burning purposes ?
cheers
By far the best bricks I've seen so far! But seriously you need to clean up your place
Why? Is just water and paper..
@@gattonpc out of the other brick makers
Hehe its a messy business :D
I use a 2 parts peat 1 part cardboard mix =)
What about incorporating dried leaves or even pine needles if you don't have saw dust?
I wouldn't use pine needles. With pine wood you get too much creosote build up in the pipes and chimney. I assume you would get the same from the needles. I did see a video on TH-cam where a guy used dried leaves he raked up in the fall and that seemed to work out fine for him. I wouldn't use maple leaves. They are hard to keep burning in pile by the road so I think they would be hard to burn pressed into a brick.
Perfecto "REZINE" trucs et astuces
Physical effort, to complete briquette rate is quite high.
Wow.. That's great storage. Well done 👏👏👏
I'll do it too 😃
Can you tell me what length of pipe u are using
Ps it's a great idea
Thanks! I have another press but automatic hydraulic one in build at the moment so when its done ill post the video.
Problem is that in my country there are few paper mills and is not likely they will gave me pulp :(
The main burning fuel i use is wood so this briquets are just something like recycling old paper and sawdust we make in our garage.
And kind of hobby.
Thanks again for comment.
do you have a preference to how fine the saw dust are that you use, will a briquette made from sander dust(powder) burn hotter?
Carlo Marra I don't have any preference, i use any sawdust it piles up in my garage.
Briquettes press with one chamber is vitally simple and doable.
cool. almost sounds like jerry garcia playing guitar. what band ?
sweet
Thanks!
I use 40% sawdust and 60% paper. And that pile didn't take long to make...but now I'm doing some plans for automatic hydraulic one ;)
When its done ill upload video. For now if u need any info ill be glad to provide em.
Nice job! Your briquettes look very dense. Have you conducted a burn test with them?
Thanks. Of course I tested them. And I must say they are excellent. They burn out completely.
How do u make the briquettes press
Ever think about adding in sugar and perhaps oatmeal?
Coffee grounds?
Sugar is a binder.
Logs would make it smell like cotton candy LOL
One time i added buckwheat flour. And mixture didn't press nice. It kinda shoot out of those holes. But i think you could add sugar or oatmeal because it isn't in dusty form. I found out it goes like this: If it burns and you can press it, u can use it :D
Sorry for late reply.
@@Triwiwer No hurry in a reply. I too am watching TH-cam VIDEOS! LOL
That flour could still be used - maybe with less water in the mix?
For faster drying maybe use alcohol instead of water?
Ya know, a cup for that, TWO cups for you?
May take a tad longer to make the stuff but boy oh boy would you be happy MAKING the stuff!
They burn for approximately 2h each.
Wow. Great job man
A tweeked out cider press might be more efficient. How do your logs burn?
Logs burn great! After it burns out the log stays intact, but when you touch it it turns in to dust...in my opinion that shows that it burns great. Please define in what way u mean more efficient? As far as speed goes there are lots of ways u could do that faster...as far as how compressed logs are i can just change my jack for 30t one but don't see the point in that on this type of press. And price...this build cost round 100$ from scratch. But if u might have a cider press u could modify that is a good way...tho it probably costs more than 100$. Don't know prices in your country but where i live thats the case ;)
Have a nice day and thanks for comment.
awesome
Thanks :D
Triwiwer DoTsI
how long does one of those briquettes burn for?
christpuncher98 2to 3 hours ;)
Great job, but if you only use sawdust and water, it's good?
No... the sawdust needs something to bind it, or MUCH higher pressure during forming.
не торопись мужик , до зимы ещё далеко
So how to age(dry) ?
what is the title of the background music?
if you do sell to which the value of sales
I was wondering if you could order one of those electric scissor jacks off ebay and make it quicker.
+freespeachrulez Scissor jacks would not be stable enough with that much pressure.
you could use a pneumatic car jack to make the process quicker
+freespeachrulez : Electric jacks are meant to run for short periods of time, then need to rest. I'd be afraid of burn out. Usually about a 1-1/2 to 2 ton limit. Had good luck with a drill powered scissor jack- as long as I used the drill for speed, then the hand crank for power. As for hydraulic jacks- the lower the ton rating the faster & farther it moves per handle stroke, generally speaking. Higher pressure jacks are slower but gives more compression. The more material your mold holds the farther out you spread available pressure per unit of material to be pressed. It's a balancing act on a learning curve to achieve your individual preferred result. IMO as an experimenting amateur with time on his hands.
I would like the spec. on your press. Can you use wood chips instead of saw dust. I can get lots of wood chips,
What do you mean by spec? Dimensions maybe? You can use wood chips, and paper an glen that together. It would still be ok ;) Tried that and it have worked for me.
