Once a fire is that hot you really don't need compressed air to atomize the fuel - it'll vaporize as it moves through the combustion chamber. It'll be less efficient and fairly hard to light with used oil as the fuel, but it'll work.

You are very observant! I had to search the frame very carefully to see that. I imagine you enjoyed doing those "spot the difference" pictures in magazines.
What kind of waste oil? Synthetic, multigrade, single grade, or whatever you can get your hands on? Does it make a difference? Is oil just gravity feed into burner and uses air pressure to draw it in? What kind of plastic used for 3D printer parts, ABS?
The burner works on any kind of oil even veg. Fuel is gravity fed but compressed air is used to spray it into the furnace. PLA for the printed parts it does not get hot outside the furnace.

I have a question. I was wondering if there is much contamination from soot from using the used motor oil? I hear other forge builders talk about using propane because it burns so clean with out contaminating the pour. Your thoughts? Thanks
You can use a heating burner, fan, ignition and blower off a domestic heating boiler ( furnace if you are American) using kerosene. i don't think it will handle heavy oil and unless you have one lying around the cost would high.
@@myfordboy I am in Canada. They are dirt cheap or even free to pick up. I have actually thrown them away. Do you just use the oil as is or dilute it at all?
Well played sir ! Can I ask about the oil feed / compressed air (I'm guessing you don't mean from the blower) - what sort of valve are you pushing the oil through ? Can you think of a way to do it for those of us without a compressor ? Thanks :-)

Have a guess at how many kW of heat an oil burner like that produces :) Maybe 200 or even 500kW. Where are you going to get the electricity from to produce that heat? Or do you have a mini nuclear generator in your backyard? Just having fun. But please do some research on electric melting furnaces.
You would think that is the case but it is not. Remember i copied the design from the leaf blower shown in the video. Read about it here.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan
The age of 3D printing is here. Make your own plastic parts. Very cool. Also great for mold making.

The surface texture on the printed parts looks very smooth, no visible layers or extrusion patterns ...
Yes the Sovol printer gives a good flat bottom.
lowering layer height might also help
Always a good show Mate!
Looks very nice. It might be worthwhile to make a shroud for the motor to keep splash and stray junk out of those open ports in the motor housing.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. It seems a shame to go to all that trouble to then leave the motor connectors in particular open to damage.
There is a fan in the motor so the holes need to be left open.
Seats at the front booked, confection and large beverage in hand, lights dimmed and ready for the next episode!
I bet it's a metal version of the blower in the mold?

Great work. Merry Christmas
Final question - do you have details of what you are using to supply power/control the blower motor? Thanks
0-30v bench supply.
It seems the only thing supporting the turbine motor with all its weight and vibration is the two small screws embedded in plastic, or am I wrong?
2 M4 screws pass through the case into tapped holes in the motor.
I know this video is over 2 years old, but I'm hoping you might give a feller a bit of advice!

Does your waste oil burner have the ability to melt copper or brass?
At present, I'm still using propane to fire my beer keg foundries, & although my burner will produce the correct temps needed, I haven't been able to produce the needed BTU's to reliably melt 8kg of copper.
Thank you for the excellent videos!!
The furnace will melt brass copper and iron.
It’s a good idea to use used oil as fuel. I wonder how you made the pump to feed it.
The nozzle is a siphon one . Compressed are passing through the nozzle sucks the oil in. There is no pump.
Is the hub for the fan to motor connection a commercial item?
No, I turned this part on my lathe.
Hi, is this hot enough to melt cast iron? If not and you wanted to do cast iron could you add a send burner
It will melt cast iron.
What's in the mold? I dunno, but I think I see what was in the mold at 7:29... Zamak flywheels.
You are very observant!
I had to search the frame very carefully to see that. I imagine you enjoyed doing those "spot the difference" pictures in magazines.
Those flywheels were from a previous session not what was in the new pour!
What kind of waste oil? Synthetic, multigrade, single grade, or whatever you can get your hands on? Does it make a difference?
Is oil just gravity feed into burner and uses air pressure to draw it in?
What kind of plastic used for 3D printer parts, ABS?
The burner works on any kind of oil even veg.
Fuel is gravity fed but compressed air is used to spray it into the furnace.
PLA for the printed parts it does not get hot outside the furnace.
What kind of solvent glue was used for PLA? Or just 'super glue'?

Excellent 👍👌👏
Do you centrifuge the oil, or just inject the oil, suspended carbon n all?
What is the adhesive you use on the 3d printed parts? - Thanks
I am using Jayo PLa+ filament and EMA plasic weld. Works well on this filament but not on PLA.
Nicely engineered. Great video. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Nice work, DIY cred. 👍
Would it be easier to connect a Free Day or thrift store vacuum cleaner exhaust to your burner?
Vacuum cleaners are very noisy and bulky.
Great job. Thanks for sharing

The blower is an exact dimensional copy of the leaf blower I formally used. I expect the leaf blower manufacturers know what they are doing.
The size of your air compressor how many Liter per min ? And is there a filter to remove moisture . Thanks
What compressor? What do you think the blower does?
Hi,
Would waste cooking oil serve the same purpose? I have access to a regular supply
Waste cooking oil burns well in this burner.
I have a question. I was wondering if there is much contamination from soot from using the used motor oil? I hear other forge builders talk about using propane because it burns so clean with out contaminating the pour. Your thoughts? Thanks
If the blower is running to produce the correct amount of combustion air the burn is just as clean as propane fuel.
@@myfordboy I wonder if a blower/injector unit off a oil furnace would work? Have you tried that?
You can use a heating burner, fan, ignition and blower off a domestic heating boiler ( furnace if you are American) using kerosene. i don't think it will handle heavy oil and unless you have one lying around the cost would high.

He goes through the build of the burner in this ua-cam.com/video/Vrk0lMhUcYA/v-deo.html from a couple of weeks back.
I reckon it's a siphon where compressed air is kinda necessary to pull the oil as well as atomise it so that it readily burns.
Where did you get the motor? Looks like the 755-280w model from bangood.
Motor came from my Sainsmart engraver as I don't use it for engraving.
Thanks for the video.
Interesting work.
there's something wrong with you. How could you use so many flat head screws
