  • nice setup ya gt there, good ideas for a first try! it seems to burn well

  • hi lock at my burner no carbon buildup ^^

    i'm bylding prototyp 3 now

  • All you need now is a couple of surplus parachute sewn together, a basket and ballast and you have the makings of a hot air balloon.

  • that is one hell of a home made oil burner, you shood get a small radiator rom a car and put put it on top of it ad pump water through it to make hot water,lol

  • mabe a centrifugal filter of around 3 microns and then inject it with the addition of a preheater it should burn cleaner

    thats the system they use to run russell newbery diesel engines

  • I think pushing the oil through some type of injector and preheating it. So pass the oil over a heating element and then directly into the burner with some type of injector (i.e. - a modified gasoline injector, carbuerator jet with high pressure)

  • can the flame travel up the oil pipe

  • a new way to heat your house in the winter time or something or even heat your shop with a simple big metal tub as a radiator at the floor with metal or ceramic under it would work

  • I'm wondering if pre-heating the oil before it is burned would help. Something like a longer copper tubing wrapped around the top of the first coffee can.

    The other idea I had was if you can find a Y or a T fitting for your compressed air, feed some compressed air into the burner via another copper tube so it blows straight downward at the bottom of the can. The air would "spray" the oil upward and atomize it. Add the air slowly and be prepared for some extra-large flames.

  • it does to a point.

  • drip or steam water droplets in .this will cause extra heat and also that heat will cut down carbon .may take a little adjusting on fire up . i do this with my wood burner waste oil fire in my house in england

  • this will not cause the oil to spatter?

  • that carbon could also be from "junk" left in the used motor oil that you are using. :)

  • hydrogen supplement "MAY" I said "MAY" help with the burn deposits. I have not tested this as of yet, but it may help as it does with gas/diesel burn.

  • you mean add hydrogen to the air intake of the burner.

  • yup... maybe just prior to the inlet or possibly further up the air inlet so you get a better air/hydrogen/fuel vapor mix. It should cut down on the deposits. Again I have not tested this, but have seen the results from using a mix in gas/diesel engines improve the burn and reduce deposits.
