Does it smell during operation? Was it easy to build? Can I make it more efficient? Where do the Christmas decorations fit???? Thank you all very much for watching
Maybe a heat shield/reflector in front of the fuel tank might be in order too - and a keep a good fire extinguisher handy! And you can't beat a good strong pair of C***ese safety boots - standard attire for us Aussie summertime DIYers. Great stuff Steve, very entertaining.
Tack and dress-knowledge born of actual experience=pure gold. With your mastery of so many joining methods, it always interesting to see what you choose to use. The use of rivets, for example , took me by surprise.
I built a heater that could heat a 30x40 uninsulated steel shed to 140 degrees when it was negative 38 about 10 years ago. Got into a feedback loop thinning the oil and flow more. Burned roughly a gallon a minute and had zero smoke or smell out the exhaust.
This is so timely. I have for a while been on the lookout for a certain dual fuel stove, only to find that the only way to get them down here anymore is to buy one from a collector who wants too much money or buy one from someone overseas and pay a boatload of money to ship it. I thought to myself; self, maybe you can make something suitable out of bits and bobs. I was a bit stumped as to the best approach, et voila! Steve shows us this. Thank you very much! Edit: Not that I could manage this burner, but something a little, er, tamer.
A few weeks ago I built a wood-fired incinerator out of two 55 gallon drums. One was in bad shape from rust so I made a liner out of it. I use a leaf blower and a length of motorcycle exhaust pipe. It does the trick, melts glass, almost no residue etc. However I think the blower is far too powerful, so I'm going to use a weaker duct blower with a rheostat and see If I get better results. After that, I add the waste oil feature. I plan to use cooking oil too.
with a Coleman lantern mantle setup in mind, i wonder if the sizing of the "mesh" or screen would help turn your flame blue,.... that with airflow control as well? Great setup, "clean" energy upcycling, somewhat.
i was thinking a lid with a say 40mm tube stack with a potentiometer you will be able to adjust it to burn up maybe 500mm of pipe which would also glow red and put off heat
I use a snapon butane soldering iron. I can adjust the heat and have better control by free handing the solder myself. Your soldering iron looks cool but just from what I can observe, it looks the like the solder is a bit on the colder side.
Amazing, try putting a solid cap on the mantle. looks like the mantle is acting like a catalyst and burning the excess gasses. I have one of these inside of a woodstove to heat up the garage when im working on projects.
You got close to a blue flame which would be a very clean and efficient burn. Have you seen the japanese blue flame oil burners on YT mate? I was wondering when you would be dabbling with an oil burner. Watched quite a few of your other videos over time. Was an enjoyable video, cheers 👍
In today's kerosene / oil home heaters (dripp-ish ones... not injected) they no longer call it a mantel. Many manufactures picked a fancy word... word matches.... and your video proves it.... It speeds up/IMPROVES the combustion.... a device that does that in some science words is called a "catalyst" So that (or some version of it) is the word the oil stove companies use now. There is many design versions... such as some have fins etc that also cause some swirling ... so now NOT just the hot walls are what improve/speed up combustion of what before was NOT getting combusted.... but the swirl of air said fins create AND as well fins acting as hot mantell walls now protruding into other paths of the atomised oil... both in combo... all speeds up/improves the combustion (so they say)
That's actually a good mechanical fix. And I kind of wish I thought of that while I was building it. I might still do something along those lines but it doesn't fix the 20 volt 12 volt issue that I'm going to have with the power tool batteries where the speed controller hopefully will.
I like your invention! Perhaps you could make an oil powered water heater heater using copper coil pipe like one of your previous inventions but add a water pump to make a portable shower conversion kit for this multi purpose oil burner?
What would happen if you put the oil flow inside the mantle like the old kerro heaters. Perhaps better control because the flame should burn on the outside and give you better control.
you can pop out that dent in the tank using water/oil pressure. if you have a grease gun or some other similar hand-driven positive displacement hydraulic pump with a lot of mechanical advantage, you can fit it up to the tank, filled either with water or waste oil, bleed all the air out that is humanly possible, and then get to pumping. the dent should come out nicely, although very slowly, and if the vessel ruptures there's actually very little energy stored in there, due to the very low compressability of water/oil. Colin Furze has a video demonstrating this method with much thinner steel using a household pressure washer, but a real hydraulic pump is in order for a tank made of such thick material. It will never again be suitable for whatever its original purpose was, but it will look nicer to people who care about that kind of thing.
I wonder how well it would run if you made the same sized bowl, but just taller-- like a long tube. You could tightly roll/coil copper pipe around the outside, down the entire length and easily heat water on your camping trips. Or even roll those pipes around inside your tent and have like a "heated floor" type setup in your tent. lol.. If it worked, it would be glorious.. Or even just having a simple radiator with a small fan inside your tent.. while the fire is burning outside. I bet you could refine it into a small efficient kit.
That tube within the tube... Weld a flanged sort of fitting and somehow grove the inside to accommodate an 'O'-ring. It should be far enough away to protect it from the heat source. Suggestion is all not telling ya how to do it, or keyboard warring. Merry...Holiday as well.
That was a little aussie ripper, if you didn't worry about a speed controller you could put a throttle valve on the air tube as a mechanical solution to the flow
Id suggest 3/8" npt threaded pipe for the fuel supply to oil dripper, easily disassembled, liquid tight, and cheaply and easily available, id also sugest a valve on the fuel supply as well as a valve on the fuel output to ve avle to introduce a time delay in fuel supply.
even the name brand dewalts go up in steps now. bought one for work brand new eight months ago and that was the first thing I noticed that I didn't like about it.
It's missing a chimney with a post combustion regulated air intake. That smoke coming out the fuel intake is alarming to me, with the good stoichiometric it could ignite with a spark and it's probably poisonous too
I had similar concerns but once I modified The mantle (it was creating too much back pressure in the system) Once I put the 35 mm hole in the top of the mantle it fix the problem.
I'll have to look at the footage again. I don't recall seeing that during the testing, this might be a camera angle thing. Either way thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Yes good point, my fingers have grown fat after 10 years of marriage The wedding ring doesn't really come off anymore unless I sniffed it with a pair of pliers. I am always mindful of it though particularly when using the lathe or the mill.
Here I thought you were just going to drill a round hole and then 3d print an insert for the switch and plug, maybe that's just me being the next level of lazy. Still funny you're building waste oil burners in the middle of your summer, when up here on the other side of the planet we're freezing our toes off.
Does it smell during operation?
Was it easy to build?
Can I make it more efficient?
Where do the Christmas decorations fit????
Thank you all very much for watching
Merci beaucoup à toi pour ce beau projet et surtout pour l'avoir partagé avec nous tous Merci
to pop the dent out, fill the reservoir with water to the top (no air) and freeze it (water expend when it freeze)
That is brilliant, I'm going to do that in the next video.
I was enjoying your experimentation so much I could have watched another half hour! Looking forward to part 2.
Awesome, thank you!
0:48 at first I was like “holy shit a left handed lathe?!?” Before I finally realized it was a dividing head on the mill facing the ‘wrong’ way 🤣😂
Maybe a heat shield/reflector in front of the fuel tank might be in order too - and a keep a good fire extinguisher handy! And you can't beat a good strong pair of C***ese safety boots - standard attire for us Aussie summertime DIYers. Great stuff Steve, very entertaining.
Safety first! I'll have to add that to the list.
If no extinguisher you can always use pocket sand
Someone censoring Chinese on a UA-cam video has got to be the funniest thing I've seen this year
This is the first of your videos I've stumbled across, immediately subscribed! Great job!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

excellent work as always! tri-clover is also known as tri-clamp. the reaction to your weld at 11:25 was hilarious!
Thanks 👍
Found this video in the feed, and glad i did! Love the vid, definitely looking forward to the part 2 and more! Cheers from the USA!
Awesome, thank you!
Now I want one too haha
Heheh. "high speed sinkers". Noice.

another beautiful video, thanks for that. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🙏🏻.
Same to you! 😊
Professional job!
Love your work 👍
Thank you!
Yes it looks like it just might be a winner .. merry Christmas .. hope you have been good enough
Coal wouldn't go to waste😂
"High Speed Sinkers", LOL. Line of the day.
This is brilliant mate.
A very Merri Christmas to you and your family and a happy & safe New Year.
Thanks mate, Merry Christmas to you too!

It looks like the 'mantle' is helping you to get a good secondary burn, that may be where the extra heat is coming from.
awesome build
Love building heaters..
No need for a fan variable speed controller. Just put a simple slide gate (dampener) on the fan intake.
And a wedding ring look out he's on fire today 😂😂😂
Chicks dig your workshop 😎
Haha, thanks!

Yes it's an old bit of gear and I get in patient waiting for it to get up to temperature.

Sounds like I've got some watching to do, cheers mate 👍
come out to my yard an me santa is missing its blower! giz it back
I'm not confirming or denying anything 😐
😂😂😂😂 🎅🏼💨
Spring chicks are the best!
Très belles sandales de sécurité !!! Hhhh
There is no such thing as a Little Aussie Rockets video that "runs too long"!!!
Thanks mate
that is awsome!

Impulsive experimentation never gets tiring to watch.
It is the ultimate form of learning.. Together.
👌True
great video when are they going on sale ,merry Christmas from sweet home Alabama.
If you add a second ball valve right after the first you use the low one to set the flow and the high one for on and off
That's actually a good mechanical fix. And I kind of wish I thought of that while I was building it.
I might still do something along those lines but it doesn't fix the 20 volt 12 volt issue that I'm going to have with the power tool batteries where the speed controller hopefully will.
you could find a pc/cpu turbine fan out of old Dell or HP computers with phase width modulation for adjusting the speed
😢Awesome!!!!!+++
I like your invention! Perhaps you could make an oil powered water heater heater using copper coil pipe like one of your previous inventions but add a water pump to make a portable shower conversion kit for this multi purpose oil burner?
I think that's a pretty good idea!
For the dent, try filling with water and then pressuring to pop out the dentist.
What would happen if you put the oil flow inside the mantle like the old kerro heaters. Perhaps better control because the flame should burn on the outside and give you better control.
great work mate merry x mass to you and the family
Thanks mate, Merry Christmas to you too!

That would be cool! I am thinking of "accessories" to build for it. Hot water makes a lot of sense.
Motor oil definitely has enough BTUs to turn all of that into a puddle. It wouldn't hurt to have some sort of refractory inside the burn chamber
It would help out with longevity for sure
If you make the air supply holes smaller about 1/8th inch you will get blue flame if you slow the fan down.
Nice I'll definitely try that
Have you printed with TPU or ASA both good for oils and such
I used PEGT, It's what I had on hand. Thanks for the tip
The ol’ tack-n-whack
That tube within the tube... Weld a flanged sort of fitting and somehow grove the inside to accommodate an 'O'-ring. It should be far enough away to protect it from the heat source. Suggestion is all not telling ya how to do it, or keyboard warring. Merry...Holiday as well.
2:59 I was watching that and thinking how isn’t that breaking. Well then it did.
Try making the oil come out in a ring in the bottom of the burn chamber
I think I'm going to extend the pipe just a tad so that it trips right into the middle.
That was a little aussie ripper, if you didn't worry about a speed controller you could put a throttle valve on the air tube as a mechanical solution to the flow
Yeah, I like the simplicity of that. Cheers mate
Id suggest 3/8" npt threaded pipe for the fuel supply to oil dripper, easily disassembled, liquid tight, and cheaply and easily available, id also sugest a valve on the fuel supply as well as a valve on the fuel output to ve avle to introduce a time delay in fuel supply.
That's definitely a good idea I'll keep that in mind.
Pretty sure we call it a "tack n whack" here in NZ
I like it
@LittleAussieRockets same concept as the "heat n beat"
I like to hold and mold and then stack and tack.. It's much easier to move things before you weld them. :)
You could control the air volume by diverting air to waste rather than alternating the speed of the fan.
totally, I didn't think of that. cheers
When I see those chicken dangling around the workshop, it really makes me laugh loudly....my wife is now yell at me ......
Yes for whatever reason that motherhand decided that my workshop was the place to rear her young ☺️
shove the right sized nut into that pipe for adjustable pressure?
that would work👍
even the name brand dewalts go up in steps now. bought one for work brand new eight months ago and that was the first thing I noticed that I didn't like about it.
that's good to know, that's a little bit of a step backwards.

Fill that tank with water and freeze it to get that dent out
Sweet, I'm gonna do that in the next video 👍
This was an interesting build but the flames licking the fuel tank seems less than ideal.
I'll have to look at the footage again.
I don't recall seeing that during the testing, this might be a camera angle thing. Either way thank you for bringing it to my attention.
@@LittleAussieRockets I'm probably just being paranoid. It's a cool design either way.
Very entertaining, would you call it science
Anyhow merry Xmas
It's science when he makes ten, runs them blindfold, and takes the average. 😜
The ring is what I'm most worried about.
Edit:ring(wedding ring 💍)
Yes good point, my fingers have grown fat after 10 years of marriage
The wedding ring doesn't really come off anymore unless I sniffed it with a pair of pliers. I am always mindful of it though particularly when using the lathe or the mill.
It's not safety sandals, it's steel-toe thongs, everybody knows that, even aunty Annie 😅 Merry Christmas from Annie in WA
Merry Christmas 😅
Love the video, but volume consistency is all over the place.
Yeah, I'll definitely work on my audio game. Cheers!
What would Greta say?... 😂
Sadly, in my country it is an offence. EuroGreenDeal...
I guess I could say I'm recycling?
But honest I truly don't care much for her opinion😁
Dewalt is slowly losing quality. Stanley is also just a domestified aliexpress stuff. My cheap Lidl Parkside seems better than Dewalt.
Here I thought you were just going to drill a round hole and then 3d print an insert for the switch and plug, maybe that's just me being the next level of lazy. Still funny you're building waste oil burners in the middle of your summer, when up here on the other side of the planet we're freezing our toes off.
Yeah I know. We just had a massive couple of weeks of tropical rain. It felt like 100% humidity but it lowered the fire risk.😅
