Einfacher Ethanol Brenner selbst gemacht

In this video I am building a simple ethanol burner. I use that type for melting solder (tin alloy with 30 % tin). It can also melt lead (melting point 328 °C) and zinc (melting point 420 °C). I think for a small quantity it can reach up to 500°C - but more is not possible. The temperature that is reached strongly depends on the crucible (spoon in my case) and amount.
Of course, bigger jars can hold more fuel and will burn longer, and thicker tubes will produce bigger flames and consequently more power.
I think my geometry is a good compromise for small melting projects.
======= Materials list =============
Metal: I use “LSN 30” that is typically used as soft-solder for water pipes, rain pipes, car repair. Can be bought in any DIY market. Any other solder does also work but is typically more expensive.
Jam Jar: this is a very small one with 30 ml capacity
Metal tube: the one I use is the outer case of an AA alkaline battery
Absorbent cotton: regular pads - nothing special
Ethanol: the cheapest version is sold as “Spirit” 94% Ethanol in any supermarkets. Typical use is cleaning purpose. Of course, you could also use some high percentage liquor… ;)

=======Safety===================
Be safe and know what you are doing Hot metal can cause severe burn. Hot metal in contact with any kind of humidity can cause explosions. Lead is potentially poisonous material. Although lead metal and its oxides can practically not be absorbed through skin - any kind of dust that might be inhaled is dangerous. So preferably use lead-free solder and pay attention to any dust that can be inhaled.

Solltest die Sets aufheben, die werden nämlich nicht mehr verkauft.
