Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but if your hot water is running to sealed vessel such as hot water tank, always make sure it has a temperature, pressure relief valve or an open head so not to blow your self up, great way to get hot water!
It wasn’t sealed. There was no shut off valves! It was completely open
Whoa! This is a great tip! Thanks.
Backstop Solar 12-s30 thermal expansion tank is made just for that super hot solar heated water. It has a EDPM bladder . Same material used to reseal camper roofs. They ARE 50$WORTH OF INSURANCE AGAINST A PRESSURE EXPLOSION. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED. AMERICAN COMPANY.
This is literally how my radiators and hot water work in my house in England from a coal fire,
I’d point out a couple of safty and efficiencies you can make.
A header tank with a float (ball) valve will give you continuous hot water, with the added bonus that you can put a vent, allowing pressure release so it won’t burst the main tank under heat.
Also, cold water should enter the BOTTOM of the hot water tank, just lift the tank higher than the fire.
Hot water rises as you know, so if you take the hot water from the tank at the top, you are always using the hottest water in the tank.
It’s worked here for 150 years or so! Excellent video!
Good stuff mate. You'll be fine when Putin raises gas prices to all time high. Wont be surprised if more british households revert to this method of water heating to keep warm. Dark times ahead.
Covered that header tank and vent system when I took engineering back in1969. Thanks y’all
Another brit here, glad to see that others are keeping these traditions going! Funnily enough I want to do a self build and asked a load of people of they liked my idea of having a wood burner to heat the whole house and use hot air that's heated by the burner to ventilate the property. They were like 'that'll never work or pass building regs you need solar panels, an air source heat pump and a mechanical ventilation system installed'. It'll only cost an additional £25k but you'll save money in the long run, what a joke! We need to embrace some of these older technologies that are probably more eco friendly than all this new tech.
@@relaxingsounds3952 my stoves are all multi fuel, so I’m the deepest and darkest of times I can use coal if the alternative is freezing.... but wood works most of the time if you remember to feed it properly.
Stoves are good, they don’t mess around with moving energy hundreds or miles and or burning rubbish where the heats not needed.
Good luck with the building!
@@relaxingsounds3952 Burning wood is one of the dirtiest fuels we can use. If everyone switched to wood, or coal, no one would be able to breath and cities would turn black and you would never see the sun again. I am not against it for a cabin, or rustic homestead, or antique home. I had an "Oyster House" in New Haven, Connecticut and loved it. It was wood burning, then coal fired. It had an amazing Victorian boiler system. I used wood. The stoves and ovens were also wood burning.
I think geothermal is the way to go for climate control. The drilling is not expensive and the equipment can be made yourself with common hardware.
The best way I have seen to heat water for showers and baths is the electric coil, instant hot water heaters, like the shower heads in South America. Without electricity, then, this method above. But, tanking hot water is such a waste. Feed the water thru the coil and right to its point of use. If you want to store the heat, build a chimney/stove/oven with a lot of mass with secondary coils in the mass.
Yes, you can heat water with a pot on a stove. The video is a demonstration of thermosiphoning. I have been heating 150 gallons to 185 degrees, a day for 8 year with wood.
I really don't see why you think this such a great thing? Wood isn't environmentally friendly, cheap or easy to come by or anything. At least not where I live.
i think it is a good idea for practical off grid & such & wood is no problem where i am , but you could use other materials such as, leaves , manure of sorts , paper saw dust or shaving's from a local mill or building sites maybe . P S mine is working good too ty engineer775 but my coil is set behind my pot belly stove & made like a radiator
David Deblaere What makes you think that wood is any worse than other energy sources? Heck, I and walk out behind my house and have enough wood to heat water and my entire house for years. Seems easy to come by to me.
Well we kind of need the trees for other stuff too :) I'm no expert but I can't imagine that the burning process of wood isn't as efficient as other (fossile) fuels. I don't think you get the same amount of energy from burning a log than burning the same amount of fuel. And for most people wood is scarse, takes room to store and time to dry.
David Deblaere It's not much good if you're a city dweller, but for us folks who use wood as our winter heat source, thermosiphoning is a handy, simple way to heat water. I have attached one to my outdoor wood stove as it is not exactly safe for inside.
Would love to see how the coil is fit into the stove, any possibility of a tear down video or an explanation of how the stove was assembled? Awesome contraption thank you for sharing it!
👌 good question
Great question! I’m not very mechanically inclined but I’ve started trying to learn things for my son and I so when shit hits the fan I have the ability to still provide for him!
You dont actually need to fit it on the inside, many other channels simply fit it around the outside of the stack.. just above the fire it still provides ample heat to boil water
@@BlazedAFGaming if anything its better on the outside.
@@floppybeefcurtains7679 came to this vid looking for execution on this same idea. Why would it be better on the outside?
My grandmother used to make tea by boiling water in a kettle made of solid copper, the fire she made was her yard woods waste. It was so pleasant sitting around fire with her and drinking the tea and listening to her stories. She also made bigger volume of hot water by using her big copper pot for washing dishes and other use. She also had samovar, which is a Russian made very decorative boiling tool for making tea. It was made out of solid copper with chimney in the middle, encapsulated by water in the copper shell. I kinda like my grandmas !!!
They have discovered arsenic comes from copper when used in distilling so they use stainless steel now.
Lead and copper can poison you. Like mercury.
This reminds me of when I was a child. We had a wood stove that heated our water. It worked on the same concept as this but on a larger scale. Cold water in a tank went into a copper tubing that coiled around a wood stove and then went back into the tank.
I really like the system you have built. I particularly like that you used recycled parts, too. Obviously, the system could be more efficient but that would make it much harder to build and complicated. In a crunch, simple always aces complex. Well done.
Yep... and the climate police will shut it all down. Not practical at all.

Just build a fire under the water heater, that's what I do.
🤣🤣😂👍
That works 👍
But that wouldnt thermosyphen anywhere......which was the point of the demo.....
It might take more than 30 minutes.
This way is way to dangerous to use directly, as he says himself.
So, for practical porpoises, is better to keep it simple.
Greetings
My great grandmother had something similar already built in to the back of her woodstove.
I was just have a coal burning water heater
I wish I could see this process from the beginning, every step of the build!
Thanks. I feel better about the apocalypse now that I have saved this video to my liked playlist.
I'm absolutely staggered at the people who can't fathom why this is so useful.
It's because it's not a new idea by any means. It's just a homemade back-boiler. I'm sorry, but 'Wow'.
As of right now it is not useful. People have been claiming this knowledge "will soon be useful" for various reasons and one day they may be right, but as of right now there is no reason to believe this will be useful in our lifetime unless under very specific circumstances like trying to live off grid.
@@lazyh-online4839 Useful when the power goes out for a week during an ice storm. 'Course, we just usually heat water in buckets over a campfire, but this is probably less work and more wood efficient once it is set up.

keep your outlet under water level, and it will purge all the air out, then have a steady recirculation flow.
well said Jerry
You get better flow doing it your way. The syphoned water pulls water in faster while retaining more heat.
You can also make a stile when hot water is not what you want with it. Cough...moonshine
I did something similar in my old camper. I ran 50 foot of 1/2 inch copper tubing around my water heater tank, then put the insulation back on it. I run the heater hoses through it. anytime I'm traveling, I got hot water, but you have to be careful. It will get to about 190 degrees(engine temp) instead of 120, like with propane or electricity.
While there may or may not be a more efficient way to do this, given what is available or free on the road side. The majority of those that commented with questions on this post are the selected crowd. It is that cycle of life that will control. It was clearly stated if power goes out or off the grid use. It is so simple to understand in that if you don't you are the ones who will be the first to die. Young children are not simply suppose to draw their own bath water or have access to anything like this...and as for elderly that can't take care of themselves, they either have someone to do it for them just like now, or in the event of "needed" use for this device, will succumb to natural selection. And for those not given the intelligence of thought...gravity...simple gravity will give water pressure. God gave you a brain people..perhaps it's time some of you use it.
T. McW Sweet milk! There is another intelligent person out there. Thank you friend.
This is brilliant for someone who lives in the out back.all you need is a feeder tank which you can fill. with a t at top of tank bottom of t as feeder and top of t feeder of evaporation back into feeder tank.Electric 12 volt pump to pump water from solar panel .into a higher tank at top.then a pipe of 22mm from bottom for hotwater supply.another 22mm pipe connected to smaller pipe back
This is awesome! I'd be very interested in finding out more things you could do like this to live a normal modern life without relying on electricity so much. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Try doing a search here for rocket mass heaters. :)
I used plutonium and it works!!! Now I can wash my self in the maximum comfort, and the water is enough powerful I can wash ma 6 tails
😂😂😂😂😂
You can do an instant hot water heater like that. Seen it done to hot tub off grid. Simple to do. 55 gallon barrel and coils run in and out of barrel. In and out the barrel. Inlet of coil and out let at top of coil out the barrel. So simple for anyone to make. No need for a tank. Pump or no Pump
Thank you for showing this for us . God bless you and keep your family safe and now we can all stay warm and heated water . Wow , " Awesome job
Any chance you made a video on how you made your Rocket stove and installed your copper coil?
Just give him time. No need to remind him every 7 years
Problem is the cold water cools the copper coil so quickly you can't heat the water fast enough, so you have to slow the Water Flow Rate down to a near trickle to get hot water...
Our output of "hot water" is fractional at best.
This could be compensated with larger copper pipe and more heat perhaps but storage of hot water becomes an issue then as well.
Yup, I built a rocket stove water heater and the above is what I ran into.
The project will end up in my garage as a thermal mass heater so no great loss.
I love these kinds of thought provoking project videos so keep on thinking and building.
The only bad idea is one that is never proved out to be a success or failure. IMO
👍👍👍🍻
If you put a turbine on the chimney you should be able to hook up a generator, Or heck feed that access heat into a sterling engine and make some electricity, See how efficiant you can make it :D
Haha! Great ideas! Anywhere there's heat there's potential energy, and this thing is putting out LOADS of heat that could be used elsewhere. I don't know how much energy you could get from a turbine on this thing, but a sterling engine could totally work. I wish I lived where I could test this out.
If you can get enough power to run a LED light for an hour or two, that would be marvelous. I believe goal zero has a camp cooker with USB port for cellphone charging.
And that is how we got hot water in every house in Ireland form the 50's to the 90's. put a boiler behind your open fire that fed your hot water cylinder in the hot Press. they then moved on to Rap around boilers to heat radiators to warm the rest of the house as well.
thank you my brother
i bulid a water haeter in my vilega
am happy like baby now 😂😂❤❤
Respect!
just a random thought. is you have a gas hot water heater you could modify it to have a stove under it and heat the water with wood instead of gas. this is other wise a great idea! good work
The way i have seen those type of water heaters designed, yes it would be very easy to build some sort of fire box under that kind of water heater. The exhaust flue runs right through the center of the water heater, so it should be pretty efficient. You would just need to devise some way to regulate the temperature. Perhaps a temperature controlled flue shutter or something. Or else you would need to constantly monitor and adjust the fire yourself.
Michael G true. it would become a boiler with an uncontrolled fire under it.
Lehmann's hardware in Dalton, Ohio sells wood stove inserts and a range boiler system for larger volumes.
I did that in Papua New Guinea, and removed the old burned out gas burner. My kids used just a handful of small wood scraps to fire it. Made plenty of hot water each morning and evening if needed. We mounted it outside the house for safety sake since we were in a fairly warm climate.
look at that, a useful human. thanks for posting something of value. some people are really gonna struggle soon when they realize they don't know how to stay alive without robbing Walmart.
Get some large rocks and make a small fire pit. Place your bbq grill in a secure manner and light a fire. Put your pot of water on it and you will have hot water. Then when the wood starts burning down and your water is done, use the remaining coals to bbq your neighbors cat for a lovely hot meal.
Hello. I'm trying to figure out why a coil is better than a body of water in a vessel with upper and lower connections. I'm building a similar make up to heat water without power.
Good project eng 775.
It would take a while.....yep. While I'm glad engineering has progressed on these, its great to see the early thermosiphon versions that are the easiest to build.
It really reminds me of the old guy's (fathers and grandfathers) of our childhood!!! (I'm 53, my pop died at 92 andmy grandfather died at 94, andhe still had the old ice fridge and potbelly stove from the turn of the last century)😊😊😊
This is awesome to know. Knowledge is power. Good video!
I love it, it's all natural. I wonder if you couldn't bend that copper hose into an arch like a faucet, so the water would go in a bucket?
This is more of a science project than something one can use on a day to day scenario. First off in order for this to work you would have to babysit the fire all day to keep it hot everyday. If you are in sub freezing temperatures that is critical as the water will freeze and crack the water heater.
well then you have a heater stove and a cook stove with water jackets and a 400 gallon tank. Fire can be out for 3 days and still have a scalding shower. But in the winter you keep the fire going all the time. Wake up in the middle of the night to stoke it if you need to
Absolutely, plus rocket stoves are very efficient and the fuel often only needs replenished once every hour or two (depending on design I've heard of one small hopperload of wood or biomass logs lasting anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours). And if it does go out, they can be started up quite quickly, as well.
+Tom Sawyer It would be insulated and also be at a higher temperature, so the hot water would stick around for a long while. If you think getting a fire going twice a day is a lot of work and you sit on the couch to much. I heat my whole house with a woodstove.
Tom Sawyer that's not true. A good water heater can hold good reasonable temps for 2 or 3 days. If you needed hot water on the daily in a grid down or off grid situation all you need to do is fire it one good time per day or every other day if you don't mind varying water temps. Again A good water heater will hold temps for a couple days. I have done this in an off grid scenario before. It works fine. Not to mention it gives you a better appreciation for the things we waste or over use on the daily.
if you know how to apply the principles you can use it every day. I'm heating the 275 gallon IBC tote in my greenhouse with this simple coil
It's interesting to me that you connect the hot water feed from the stove to the Top of Water Tank. Usually it's connected the other way round. Hot water inlet at the bottom of the Water Tank and so it raises to the top of tank (as hot water is always raising to the top) and displaces the cold water automatically.
Engineers🤦🏻♂️
But wouldn't that mean you were feeding the hot back into the cool section of the tank? If it's fed into the top wouldn't it stay hot there? I have to admit to being clueless about all things like this but I'm trying to learn because I want to have a go at these things. I would love to feed some extra copper pipe around a room from it and see if it heats it at least a little bit.
Can you put a rocket stove in your indoor fireplace?
So many questions.
I installed a JOTUL 118 woodburning stove in a room with a sloping concrete floor with a gulley and drain, which had been a farm building, and lived in it for 7 years. ...... I had a steel bath that I would place beside the woodburner. ...... I had 2 x 40 pint ( not exactly sure of size, BUT LARGE ) ex-army cooking pots to place on the stove. ...... By the time the first two were hot, one could get in the bath, and the next two would keep it hot while one read a book. ...... Sam, my yellow Labrador, would get right under the stove, and both of us were as warm as toast.
My total heating bill for 7 years was a bow-saw blade or two, a sledgehammer handle, and a gallon or two of diesel collecting scrap timber from a skip hire firm ( US = dumpster ). ...... One of the best times of my life - independent and free.
In Europe we call this an aga. Not sure of the spelling. The stove usually has hot plates and oven so you can also cook from the same source. In places like Austria they build elaborate tiled affairs to keep the heat in.
Wouldn't differential metals cause electrolysis and eat the copper down the road.
Hahaha

A gas water heater works and heats water without electricity.. But yeah I see what your doing here also which is very cool but I have a couple question:
How would you go about adding pressure to this? By placing a hot water tank on the roof maybe with an overflow line going back to the cold water tank?
And if you already have a sizable wood burning stove in your home could this system be retro-fitted to it somehow so the stove can be used to cook, heat the home and heat water?
+ElfNet Gaming years ago (30 or so) I heard of people doing something similar by wrapping copper tubing around their woodstove to heat water that would then go to a radiant heat system throughout their house/cabin. I'm not sure of all the mechanics involved but I'd heard it was done. I presume the system acted in part to how this hot water heater works. I'd heard this from an 'old timer' that grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Your idea of placing the cold water tank on the roof or at least in an upper level should add a fair amount of gravity 'pressure' for the feed. The action of it being a 'thermal pump' is just like he stated in the vid...like a coffer percolator. I suppose for added pressure then possibly making it into a boiler or sorts would enable you to pressurize it as a steam system and use condenser coils to capture the water at the other end but remember blowoff valves. This idea just keeps getting better!
Bob The Ham Well I retired my 60 gallon gas water heater and put in a 40 gallon electric tank to run off the solar power I have here now. I was thinking of using the old gas tank as a reservoir of sorts now.
I don't foresee my solar power system going tits up anytime soon as long as the sun is shining that is. But I was beating the idea of an stove heated on demand type system to take up the slack until the big tanks were heated.
+Bob The Ham Back in the day of my grandma there were wood stoves everywhere. They were usually coal fired cast iron monsters. Besides cooking they supplied the whole house with both heating and hot water.. i've seen one in action but I was only a kid. I just remember having to go out the back on a cold morning to the coal heap and get a bucket of coal for my friends mum on occasions!! we had that dangerous thing called 'an electric stove'.. God forbid! As my friends Grandma said "That electric thing will never catch on".. LOL

Jane- My dad grew up in the old tenement houses in Scotland and when he was 12 they got rehoused in an 'All electric house' and boy was that exciting. Imagine the joy and magic.
Magic Smoke ONLY released from electrical things..
Compact, awesome design, solid construction, works as described!
Now you need a hot tub to connect that to! LOL
why was I thinking the same :D haha!
My dad's got something similar at his house India in his village. Had it for decades, that's how we get hot water. Uses stick from the ground or dried cow pats.
You could make money doing this for people like me who just don't get it...!

How high can the copper pipe go before the water is no longer siphoned ?
Cheers Tom - Australia
In theory the max height of a siphon is about 32ft above the water surface in the header tank.
In practice you are safer to keep to 20ft. Also if any part of the siphon is even slightly above the water surface you need to fill the pipe manually any time you drain the system.
But notice there is no real limit on how far the stove can be below the water tank. In a traditional upstairs hot water tank and downstairs stove (or back boiler) it fills itself nicely when you turn the water on. This should do the same if the coil is below the tank
True River I need to pump water upstairs! Thermostat siphon is a wood fired water pump...
That makes me think you could pump water hundreds of feet if you have booster heaters
That’s what I’ve been thinking about doing with a rocket stove and I’m going to be setting me up up Aquaponics system and I would like to try to keep my fish’s water warm to the temperature that they would be needing any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Great
Would also like to know hiw ti añd details
Yeah, that's how conventional drip coffee makers work. Water flows past a heating element in the base, heats up, water dribbles over the coffee grounds in the filter and into your carafe/decanter. This is an example of a really big example of that and it totally makes sense. I would think making the tubing shorter between your heater and the tank would make it heat a bit faster. In fact, if you put the heater right next to the tank, and made a vertical tube to the top instead of 3 ft from it, you would probably get the water hotter in no time. I would say if there's a way to get the water to the top of the stack in a first stage, and make your way down closer to the fire, you could possibly get more efficiency from the device too. Like the way modern high-efficiency forced air furnaces work and the pre-heating systems in some industrial and later-generation steam engine boilers.
Can you please show us how you made that copper pipe coil?

***** Yes even close - you can get K,L,M,H,DWV for pipe there is no such thing as "tomak copper pipe". What kind of hack shit are you doing making your own bends out of ridgid pipe? Buy some fittings and learn to solder.

You don't know what you can do untill you know what you can do. Great video.
would you be able to run the lines into your house and hook it up to a small radiator and use it for emergency heat for you home ?
Well, that's almost the way a car radiator works, except there has to be a valve to let off steam to keep it from blowing you to kingdom come!

Dude your Awesome!!!
We need more "MacGyver $hit" like this to become more humble...Rock on!
Double the length of copper coil, increase the stove BTU 2X, then reduce outlet to 0.05 of chamber, to an elevated, enclosed chamber. Inside- mount a "paddlewheel" to a generator with capacitors and battery to balance. Capture condensate, gravity drain via another coil, then return to original vessel.

Ridiculous, huh?
vs. splitting wood and monitoring a fire for hours?
Make sure you have a pressure release valve installed on the cylinder. Because as we all know water heated expands and if you heat it enough it would explode and blow the cylinder apart and possibly injure somebody.
Yeah he needs some way to regulate the temp or even a temp gauge at least
Copper melts at 1000+ degrees so you never have to worries about the copper. GG my guy!
This is not new but good to post. Kitchen fire stoves had a heat exchanger for all hot water needs. Pain in summer though.
That bouncing/shaking/slamming is called fluid flashing. What's happening is your water is flashing into steam which causes the violent shaking/slamming. Just be careful.
My grandmother had large wood stove it had a water container like a square box it keep hot water in that box heated by wood put in box cover round metal top pieces 2 that covered the wood fire other areas were hot on top of stove.
Plumb in a tempering valve and it will make the water usable!
To keep this geothermal syphoning working great, would to insulate the outlet pipe to keep the heat transfer going. Great job!
Add a thumper and another recover tank and a siphon pump before recover tank. Yes, work on the volume output.
Yep, another brilliant man putting his brain to work. I'm wondering if this could be used for a house hot water heating incorporating safeties??
Where you from.
U can also run a coil thru your compost pile and the heat will give u hot water
I read the comments here, and my iq dropped
Sorry. :)
I now need a video on what tools I need and how to actually weld this stuff together/make the coils.
With Avasva plans doing something like that was easy.
so awesome to me Andre!!!!!!!!!!!
Love that !
I better take notes this guy is brilliant
so all you have to do is put 2 old water heaters in your yard, run pipes to them, keep a fire going in a wood stove, and then carry the water into your house? or, you could put the water heater inside the house, have it connected to the plumbing and pay $5/month for electricity to run it and not have to keep a fire going. gee, a tough decision. by the way, they used to make small stoves (and probably still do) with the coil built in for water which would also be used for cooking. you're really going around your ass to get to your thumb!

All the property I'm looking at doesn't have access to the grid. And here in AZ electricity is way more expensive than what you're suggesting anyway, which is one reason why I'm looking at off grid property.
You know with the right setup this could be great for an off the grid log cabin or even a travel camper
Funny thing is that it became popular in Africa during the early 2,000’s. I grew up on this very system that my dad installed.
I have a similar arrangement for camping purposes. Quarter inch copper tubing plus silicone hose and a check valve or two. Recently added a Harbor Freight fluid transfer pump, but it's good to know how it can operate without power.
They wouldn’t allow it here in the UK. The local authority would say that it’s unsafe and demand that you remove it.
I love it. Have you tired to help keep the input temp stay down with a little gravity? Your Temps on your output might not be quite as much but it's a idea I am just throwing around.
Been used for years. most efficient is a rocket stove modified with a heater core bolted onto the outside of the core or used inside core depending on the stove you make. There was someone in Alaska going to use steam produced from rocket stove to drive an alternator type for electricity.
They are called Heat Motors.
I’ve saved this video on UA-cam so that I may refer back to it during the apocalypse.
You could also buy a boiler wood fuel stove , a few hundred bucks , a bit of diy plumbing and you got it, hot water and heat.
Great! A abc of the schematics would be helpful, with some visual support. Perhaps someone can add to this ... Materials needed are stove pipe (4"), reducing to stove pipe 3" for a vertical run of approximately four feet (acting as a vent), 3/8 or 1/4 inch copper coil, the appropriate adapters to attach to the coil (inlet/outlet), piping for inlet/outlet from coil to water tank, 2x shut off valves ... Build process: measure out inlet/outlet holes within 4" stove piping / drill holes for the pass through of the inlet/outlet / seat coil into the 4" stove piping, leave approximately 4" of the coil sticking out of the stove pipe for additional connections as needed / complete the stove pipe vent by building atop of the 4" piping to the desired vent height / determine the distance from the vent stack and water tank / hard plumb, pex also possible, from the coil to the tank / cold water from coil into bottom of tank (supply) / hot water coil into top of tank (return) / *If a 40g tank, fill the tank with approximately 37g of cold water to allow space for recycling to be continuous). The cold water in the tank gravity feeds itself to the bottom line which routes through the bottom of the coil, gets heated throughout the run of the coil to the top and then routes along the top line into the top of the water tank / the cycle repeats as long as there is water in the tank, the tank will cycle through the contents continuously, maintains gravity fed pressure throughout the process / makes it's trip through the heated coil and trip by trip the tank heats up / which in turn reduces the amount of degrees to heat the water each trip, as every time heated water enters the tank, it increases the temperature of the entire tank / This is pretty much the gist of it. A visual demo of the internal mechanics, a drawing diagram, etc would be helpful of course. Great video.
Hot water in a "grid-down situation"… great simple build that could be on-hand just-in-case.
I guess this is great for those who have some knowledge already of what you are taking about, but for those of us who are completely new to this and therefore in the greatest need of such videos it leaves us with far too many questions inhibiting any attempt to try. I’m sorry but for so many it’s the truth.
After just a couple squirts, just mix it in a gallon jug of cold water and poke holes in the top. I had to do that for 3 months with a coffee maker cause we had no plumbing. Mixing it with cold water makes it perfectly hot, and you use a gallon or less.
I'm pretty sure if you put another check valve and a ball valve on the output side close to the smokestack, you should be able to adjust the flow into until there is a continuous output making the whole thing much more efficient and quicker
Doing somthing similar with my woodstove to save on LP in winter.👍👍Thank you for the vid.
Here is a playlist that I made for Heating Water: ua-cam.com/play/PLsEWVATMY6q2y14qSkSpuFvEg0jzJDDPK.html
Great Job and Very intelligent and yet simple and accessible to most everyone.
WoW, good for you, We have a Hot Water heating system in our home. But the gas supply cost is going to kill us now.
Works on the same principle as a percolator coffee pot.
Scott is right, stuff like all the year heating your water with electricity can add up to the price of a vacation trip.
I use a 55 gallon black drum , fill it up,and let it sit in the sun .even in the winter, I've recorded Temps close to 80
Great idea if you have water and firewood supplies. Where l live, both are in short supply if l was off grid.
Will certainly keep it in mind though!
This would work great for a hot tub. 1/2 inch pipe on a 12 volt pump...perfect!
