how its made

what kind of container is it made from?

what kinf of container is it made from?

[winnipegdiver]

Fail , so how was it made ? That is the question

You need a hole in the can side, right at each jet, to allow air to be sucked into the jet stream at its strongest point to increase aspiration. It should reduce the flame size, and make it hotter. I would also reduce the size of the jets a tad until a little "lifting" of the flame takes place under normal operating conditions, but not so much it blows out the flame.

thanks for the input. have you done this & if so, does it work well? I'd like to learn more. thanks

[BrokenAeroVT]

Not on your stove, but I've been working with these principles on a different design, and they do work.

You want the jets as fast as they can go before flame "blow out" so you have good air induction energy--the Venturi Effect.

Looking at commercial stoves, they put holes (sized to guarantee a stoichiometric balance) right at the base of the vapor jet before it goes into the mixing chamber.

These are just gen. tips for enhancing your stove perf.--and they will. Why not give it a whirl?

@BrokenAeroVT r u crazy?!?!?! its an alcohol stove!!!!! NOT A PETROL or A GAS stove. it has to have a jet emmiting pressurized gas in order for it to have a draft and take in air

[BrokenAeroVT]

@legox50 No, I'm not crazy. The lack of ventilation at the jet creates a back pressure that slows down the jet and reduces the venturi effect. I was just giving him a tip to improve the aspiration of his stove. He can also increase the speed of the jet 5/3-fold if he uses a nozzle as opposed to a port.

@BrokenAeroVT what an i say? you tried. fluid dynamics is not the easiest subject to teach ;)

How much would u be selling these stoves

each?

[epicstove]

your right, some of the fuel does fill through the jets. I was originaly hoping to not use a thumbscrew on this design, but in order to fill it quickly, you have to have an air vent any way or it will not fill.-send me your address and I'll get one in the mail for you. -eric

[epicstove]

no, thats how you fill it.

[firingpinh]

thanks for the stove eric i really like your hole set up you make i hope you put them up for sale and if you do i want a couple more for my friends and for you that are looking for a really nice set up this will work great for you thanks again eric you are a stand up guy

[epicstove]

It's only double-walled near the top where it is pressed together.

[kenny9116]

I like the stove design after we talked about it i couldnot see it in my minds eye. the top edge looks different 2 layers or one?  kenny

[minibulldesign]

This stove reminds me of a mini PHOTON

[epicstove]

I've never seen one. do you still sell it? This stove is single walled and doesn't use the thumb screw to heat the stove, it is heated by direct flame contact with the domed part of the can. same? really?

[minibulldesign]

I didn't sell the Photon --it was originally invented by a guy named Don Johnson

[minibulldesign]

this stove and video look like they were inspired by Tinny's website

[epicstove]

who?-just joking. The video is a play on an older minibull video. As for the stove...1/2 learned from minibull & 1/2 learned from trial and error. In a nutshell, stove building comes down to: proper materials and a good understanding of thermal dynamics. Stove size, fuel capacity, the number of jets and size of the jets and where you place them = an almost infinite number of possible stove combinations. learning what works is the fun part.-eric
