If what you're doing to make a living ever leaves you, you have a sure career as a horse race announcer! I liked your video. I was surprised by how little time it took to melt the aluminum.
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Love how you just add the bend to the fire by hand, you're a badass.
John Galt 100% when I saw that bare hand putting that elbow on I just through wow
Hell yeah! My first DIY using compress air, jet nozzle, crankcase oil was a smelter for quickly separating aluminium (and copper) from the 'impurities'. 14" pipe 6 feet long 1/4 wall. DIY high temp valve for batch collecting and release into a block mold (40 lbs. per, aluminium). Had to use 'tools' with 4 foot handle extensions to operate it.
The cops became regular observers as reports of explosion noises from neighbors 1/4 mile away were called in (flame outs). I was commercially zoned so I could do what I wanted! Ran that thing until there was no more feed-stocks available for miles around. The pipe looked like a broke down sway back horse by the time I dismantled it.
you rock dude.
I could listen to you all day.
I could too
That looks like how my rear end feels after eating a red chili burrito.
Real men eat GREEN chile burritos! 😄😄
Real smart men don't eat burritos!
Hi Scrappy! After a few attempts I finally got my burner working, I am still learning how to post a video. Great Stuff my good Man. Keep it coming. I made to heavy crucibles From two old Co2 bottles that were out of date, I will refine the system yet to come... thanks... bye for now.
Shit god damn that’s a scary burner 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻
yeah but it's pretty fun once you get used to it.
Nah, it's a little pussy cat! Like anything, you get used to them and they are nothing to worry about.
Scary is watching people throw petrol on bonfires and them lighting it. Makes my arse pucker tight enough to crush a needle every time!
then they do it wrong. I have lit dozens of bonfires, and built over 14 custom "structures" to burn for hog roast/birthday. the trick is being not in the fire on start up
Hi Oil Burner, ever thought about putting a thick layer of clay on the inside of the barrel or "furnace" you could make it in such a shape that all the aluminium runs out much smoother, and if you put a cast iron barbecue or wood stove rack on the bottom on top of the clay the steel parts will not keep the aluminium from flowing away because the steel parts will stay on top of the cast iron rack. But more important is that the clay will make the aluminium melt even faster. The steel barrel draws a lot of heat away. I know there are better materials and designs to build a decent furnace but I mentioned clay since it is easy to get and it is easy to apply on your existing setup and easy to replace when it is no longer usable. A few taps with a hammer on the outside of the barrel and the clay will crack in order to replace it if needed. Have a good one and don't burn your fingers :-)
hahah love the safety announcement
I do my best to protect the terminally stupid from themselves.
Oil Burner
Lmao
Loool.... "The beauty of Australia that surrounds me." You and your missus bathroom scale crack me up...
Glad to see you back
Great content
Awesome content
Anybody ever tell you you seem exactly like a Mad Max character that makes UA-cam videos?
+Zach Turner No, thats an original observation. Probably a pretty accurate one too!
:0)
All I can say, it's to much fun watching headers getting melted! Thinking of doing this myself if I can lock down a good source of aluminum scrap.
I have been melting lawn mower engines and such. tilted wood fire, spill runs down a steel sheet. makes some artistic shapes. this clean al. then melted into ingots.
I have really but one question. Early on you mentioned "putting the beans to her". I was curious as to how many beans you used and also the additional cost of doing this. Clearly the beans are a hidden cost along with the waste oil.
And now that I've moved off the back 40 I learn how to make one of these. Looks like I'm going to have to start collecting again!
we the people of the world need you back
You sound like Alf Paranihi doing a traffic report on that cylinder head.
It's probably the roar of the burner tricking my mind into thinking its the channel 7 chopper blades more than anything.
COOL BURNER MATE!!!
*MORE YELLING*
I have to Give it two You that Burner works well, great Build
Just found your vid via the SMF site. After some more research and a little testing Im gonna have to have one. Great vid and thanks for posting this
LOL I need to hear you say "ALL HAIL THE GREAT HUMUNGOUS! THE IATOLLA OF ROCK AND ROLLA!"
EDIT: You could also make a suit of armour to protect yourself from the missus with all that alloy you have
i am pretty sure she know how to operate a burner for metal recovery.
That was actually very fun to watch.
Love the commentary friend!
I would probably add just a bit of tilt to your drum for better drainage. I'd do my best to keep it clean too, but I'm just meticulous that way.
Cheers, and thumbed up!
+jtjjbannie Thanks for the kind words. I did what you said and tilted the drum in later vids which did make it drain better as you said. In this case I don't want the thing too clean as I have discovered the build up is dross which is very effective in removing the dross from subsequent melts.
The furnace might have some rubbish in it but the product is beautifully clean and that's the important bit with this. :0)
Genius! Ok, so I didn't use the burner idea. I kinds stole foundry idea of an open container.
I took a dryer bucket and the aluminum drops right thru the perforation into a water catch. It gives bearing sized "ingot". Thank you, for the idea.
That is a good way to do it. If you lined the top of the dryer drum with a bit of sheet metal, that would keep more heat going to the metal. The dryer would act like a strainer and keep everything else out.
Very well thought out!
I'm hooked! loved the commentary !! I shout too it's just how I communicate.
You’re the funniest person on UA-cam
He sounds like Howard Cossell😆 that 70's boxing and football announcer.
Mum what's cooking tonight? subaru head! My favorite!!!
Who cares if it could have been used. MELT IT!! Love your vids man.
Can literally find these on the internet for free, so many scrap Subaru engines all over the world that have exploded. You're right. MELT IT.
That was pretty interesting. One to cleanup the parts pile in ones backyard.
in response 2 your comment earlier I am not interested in the 55 gallon barrel I am interested in your furnace itself you should do a video of it and show how you did it the flame blasting out of the top is pretty impressive. I would like to see your oil feed system and exactly how you made it
I would like to see the burner construction, also
He's
You're gonna make us bedwetting safety nerds have BAD DREAMS tonight!!!
Keep it up, OB! You're the man!
Thanks. Good to know you are enjoying the vids.
I would also tend to think the valves, springs and hardware are now unusable as you've probably reversed the tempering in them.
+jtjjbannie He clearly said the head overheated and melted. Would you use them in the first place?
If you hope to reuse the valves and assemblies taking them off first is advisable. For those of us who just want the aluminum then the rest is just scrap for money.
Due to extreme heath and safety here in Glasgow Scotland If you want anything from a scrappy And you cant make it yourself you just have to shut fecking down. I made a burner as per your burner, but it would not heat my butt. Seems in Scotand there is a shotrage of 19kg tanks. And a 4" elbow is 43 quid. not counting the two by two small rings I need to attach to the tank.
It would be cheaper to get my elbow from Aussie by post and packing than from here.
Seems my cousin in Durbin is also watching your video. you take care fella and keep you foam extinguisher handy. I am trying to learn how to post a video. but it has to be waste oil perfect. night fella.
Interesting and very entertaining. Thanks!
11:30 loved the disclaimer!
I've done a 6cyl falcon head in the larger furnace I built, It stuck out the top for a while but all came out the outlet in the bottom and ran into the bowls I had to catch it. Sure beats trying to smash or cut them up!!! Lawn mower engines do the same, just a matter of fishing the crap out afterwards.
What do you do with the ingots after? Do you have a hard time selling them to scrap yards or otherwise?
Great way to melt the big stuff! Awesome for the jobs that won’t fit in a crucible.
Thanks for the heads up, because I was pretty sure that stuff was gonna be hot, you made sure for me. Subscribed...
Thank You! and always remember, Safety Third!
best commentary- ever.
nice.
Hi. Look at my side "waste oil burner". What do you thing about this solution of waste oil heater?
hi! I've been looking around for different designs and yours looks like the best. I wanted to know if you could use this to melt brass, copper or cast iron? Thanks!
Yes, it will do them all. For cast especially you will need to have a suitable furnace with refractory able to withstand the heat. I melted the corner off some bricks in my cheapo furnace the other day and The burner was far from being dialed up. Probably running 10% of capacity.
"Funny money American pounds" made me laugh a little
Me: hey can you remove the valves, springs and valve guides for my cilinder head?
Oil burner: sure. Turns on the burner...
You mean there is another way to do it??
Who Knew??
@@glumpy10 not that I know!! great video!
@@glumpy10 why there are no more videos??
You are a STAR.
Peace n Love from Liverpool England
I'm the death star!!
That is very impressive. I would build a mould that could receive that molten aluminum and then take it to a machine shop and make a flywheel or other parts for my tinkering. I like your system better than a lot of others.
I Cast some aluminium Wheels for my hand trolley. Got sick of the rubber ones going down and the ally ones don't get harder to push with the load. Make a little noise on hard surfaces but does not worry me.
@@glumpy10 that's a great idea. I'm going to string up some cables across my two acres and run stuff around hanging from them, About 50' or so at a stretch. I've watched this video several times, gonna have to make one asap! G'day to you, sir, from New York state!
I hate to ad a safety tip, but some valves have sodium filled stems and may explode in a furnace. Temperatures, here, are getting warmer. I'll be cooking soon!! Great demo!
I did Check for sodium Valves Kevin but they are not Fitted to this engine.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I'm getting colder here so I may even be glad of my Summer R&D on heaters.
It must be universal in the Angelosphere -- If Momma ain't Happy Nobody is Happy!
Thank you, I was gonna reach on in for them valves while they were cherry red!
I'm more worried about the green pool in the background at 14.00. Pools are not supposed to be green ! haha
+robowen11 No, and they aren't supposed to leak either! 2 more things to fix!
I have a handful of old car batteries and I'm in need of some lead weight for some counter balance on my mowers. Is there a safe way to melt them down?
Fantastic! Good job man! tnx 4 sharing
Great video mate,looking forward to more!. Just had a thought watching that, if you were to wrap a metal pipe coil around the outside of the burner and connect it to the hose you would have a demon steam cleaner!,imagine how that would blast away oil,grit and muck? Just a thought..
+Andrew Wilson Yeah, Using one of those little 100 PSI diaphragm pumps it would crank out some steam all right!
if you put water into your catch bowl down there, you would get aluminum chips, and not a big piece of aluminum, and you can melt it down better with a bigger surface ;)
Thats a great idea actually, like a drum of water.
Замечательное видео. Отличный опыт. Спасибо из России.
Thanks Oil Burner
A big thumb up for your outback oz style greeting at the viewers as well as shouting....
I have to shout because when I haven't, I can't be heard on the camera over the burner.
I have done a few vids I have had to scrap because all that can be heard when I talk normally is the roar of the burner. After a while you shout any time you are recording.
Oil Burner that was a perfectly good head, it was 100% right for that demo.
I have tried to listen to the safety comments on your channel but the gloves kept coming of my feet. Tiewraps did help a bit but it is clumsy.
I will get my burner design up soon, i am looking for pipe materials now... I only need to melt copper/ brass , aluminium and lead with it... Not much kw's needed.
Does a scrapyard in your neighbourhood got old land rovers in stock? I am looking for all sorts of tags and badges that are riveted in.
Cheers mate, just live happy.
Land rovers are not too popular in in the city here. I don't really see any when I go to the country either.
Anything LR, Rangie, Jag or Mini is worth a fortune here.
Well worth a sub for the sarcasm alone 👍
And we are off and racing at the Aluminium race day
Good show
انت صهرت المنيوم لكني انا احتاج موقد يديب الحديد هل هدا يديب الحديد
I want a good look at your burner I have something kinda similar but can't light it for crap let alone keep it burning mate quite discouraging at this point oh and you think a 5hp shop vac is to much air into a bar-b-q grill bottle?
hello sir i want to ask you about the secret behind the big flammes
is it the blower or the fuel ? what i should do to get a big flamme add more air or more waste oil as fuel thank you
Excellent lesson . Thank you.
Great video Loved the safety bit
the neighbor's must love you 🤣
for havinng small chunks of Aluminum U could pour it into a bucket of water.
then U have small portions to meter something for a possible socketing.
Man I like Your safety tips :D
It's a beefy burner! I'm gonna build one!
Worksafe you say ? hold my beer ....
Yeaaay, at last, a no bullshit, fair dinkum crack at somethin we all wanna do,..well at least I do !with no fancy thermal brick-cement thingy's that cost an arm and leg. Lost count of how many other methods watched on UA-cam but this is best by far.and the best part is that theres no mistakin that ripper accent!!! Love it mate. .
peter robertson Thanks Mate. I appreciate the kind words especially from down under.
Yeah it seems OK for the yanks that can get everything they want cheap as chips but it's not so easy or inexpensive for us here. Learned that the hard way. Instead of expensive and hard to get refractory, I just use Raw power. The yanks think I'm over the top with the amount of heat I pour into things but it's a matter of using whats available and affordable. Oil is a lot cheaper and easier for me than refractory and I'm getting to the stage I can make any heat output burner I want.
That said, I'm thinking of doing another furnace and using bricks and clay maybe with some pearlite as a "Helper" in the mix. My dirt furnace held up really well as did the brick one so I'm thinking of combining the 2 and see how I go. Have a look at those on my other vids.
Thanks again!
very cool bud, i look forward to seeing more, good day from the UK
by weight what percentage of aluminium alloy and other metals are recovered from aluminium alloy engine blocks?
No idea but I'm pretty sure the answer would be akin to how long the piece of string is.
Really liked what you have done in this video, have liked and subscribed
Thank You. Much appreciated.
How are you lighting it up I made one out of a propane grill tank and I cont get it to light all I get is a flash and it goes out
do you light it, let it get started and stable, then turn on air? maybe even fuel, air, fuel,air adjustments. compressed gas same way, air fuel mixture has to be close for even light off
What a find, love it!
you remind me of the Australian guy that worked at a Golden Corral by me. Funny as hell.
Good job. Kansas
Great work. I can only suggest you tilt the furnace a little more so the molten Al drains away quicker and solidifies rather than pooling up where it will absorb hydrogen and cause porosity issues down the track.
Doing it seriously I would stand the drum up. I mainly do it this way so I can film the ally melting. Hard to put a camera over the top of a heat source like that without melting it and having the scrap obscured by heat haze.
Hiya aussie! hope you don't mind me calling you that, I'm a Yorkshire Pudding lol av been trying to get my oil burner working but after so long! just as ally starts melting the flame goes out? can't understand why but it seems to be getting oil ok! any ideas pal
You could fire a pretty good size industrial boiler with that
I don't think this man melted an engine block. I believe he saved humanity by killing a T-1000 disguised as one.
Just the kind of guy I am to save mankind and say nothing. The metal made some really good knives that never go blunt though! :0)
Wow that's an amazing flame , if you had more fire bricks to insulate the heat and shapped to concentrate the heat , then the aluminium would melt much faster. My dad used to do some non ferrous casting using coke and gas fired furnaces. That oil burner would have been so much better.
+Vincent Pons You're entirely correct. A proper set up furnace would be much faster and use much less fuel. I do this for demonstration purposes as much as anything and the fact it works so well so poorly setup like this only indicates how good a proper setup would be.
Great energy video.
I have asked others with out reply. It looks like a time test with this head. On a production style melt Is there a reason not to stuff the barrel full and get the most use of your btu's?
That would be the way to do it. If I were not Filming, I'd stand the barrel vertically, have the burner entering near the bottom and fill it from there and the ally Draining straight out the bottom. You would get max pre heat and use of the energy that way and could melt a lot of ally and having it running out like water.
Do you work on Subarus? I’ve got a garage full of parts I’d like to melt
Insane mate
Hiya mate, the snowflakes were just wondering how much it cost you to melt that aluminium using free oil??
What do you do with the metal when you're done?
the trick with the miss is to sometime replace the things you sneak with new ones. So eventually, when you take something or something goes missing, she's think she might get a new one and not say anything when you take it
if you connect this to a mini forge wouldn't that multiply the efficiency? cause as it is i see it's spreading and losing heat everywhere
Yes, absoloutley. This was a test of the burner only. It works much better in a furnace as I have done on many other vids.
not to mention the need to break the head to fit a crucible. as far as I'm concerned this is more or less how I'll be doing it.
also you sound like an australian horseracing announcer.. lol
nope I've figured it out,
that dude who sells 'as seen on tv' stuff on early morning tv
im curious to know what the oil burner smells like? does it have a clean smell or does it smell like burning oil. we boil alot of things outside here in south louisisana and this could be something that could sell here$$$$$$$ propane is expensive to a cheap-o like myself lol
The only smell you get when the things are running is like a warm air smell. No odour with any fuel.
I have tried getting an aroma to the fuel burning citronella, coconut oil, Duck fat and other things and they all smell the same, no odour or scent at all.
Hi, how much do you think that ingot would be worth?
11 kilos is 24.2508 lbs. google is your best friend!
Imagine someone asking you for a light for a cigarette and handing them this?
11kg is 24.251 pounds us scrap prices in my area is .30 cents per pound
Dude... Dude... DUDE!!!!
You need to become a radio announcer! :D
I certainly have the face for radio!
I wonder if heat treating is possible on a soft head.
Awesome.
Hahahaha safty must be right. And yeah iam impressed with your little home "dragon" there.
fantastic! loved this.
How long do you think an oil drum..standard 55gal size...would run this thing?
If this is running at 200Kw, that's 20L an hour or in US terms.... errr, 20 L an hour, a 55 gal drum is actually a 44 gallon drum which is 205L so 10 Hours at this rate. Of course this is a ship load of heat so if you turned it down you get longer burn.
With free waste oil, no need to worry about fuel consumption anyway.
@@glumpy10 cool. Now all i need to do is find a few backyard mechanics near by who have plenty of waste oil!. I got an old vac for a blower i just need a fuel tank with valve for supply and a metal tank to rig to preheat oil as it is getting cold out here and maybe i can melt some shit b4 the snow comes.
