I also would like to add that when watching your video, I notice that the diesel product coming out of the condenser is mixed with a gas. I would venture to guess that if you collected that gas and ran it through another condenser, you may get a gasoline or mineral spirits type of fluid/product.
Yes..the boiler is welded to the flange Its a 3" piece of steel tubing with a bottom welded in to it. By changing the hight that sticks out on top you can regulate the amount of reflux. The burner is one of my own designs. it based on a babington burner but vertical. I made a new burner and distiller. I will make a new video some time and place it on youtube
It's a great system Redrabby and I would love to find out some more details of the burner/boiler and the condenser. I have an idea, but am not totally clear of whats going on in the steel pipe. Is the boiler located in that flange or is there a tube which goes from that flange into the big pipe and then returns up to the flange?
Whats with the gay music man? You gotta tongue? Wish I could hear you explain the process man? I would like to learn your secrets. Thanks for nothing and have a great weekend!
If you had taken the trouble to read through the reply's then you had noticed that English is not my native language. It sounded stupid, so I removed the spoken comment. Watch part one. I have put written comment on that video. I hope I did not f*ck*d up your weekend! That was not my intention!
@Redkrabby Who told you you sounded stupid? You sounded different. Dude what people think is none of your business. Trust me people love accents. I am Ukranian and I have few videos and they sound stupid but who cares it's not for that purpose you are explaining the process to friends. I will like it I promice:)
Thank you for the compliment. No I'm not using any catalyst in the boiler. I just boil the oil, and condense the vapours back to a liquid. No reflux either. And yes....I designed and build this burner myself.
have you ever thought about filtering it with a centrifuge? They should be able to filter down to .5 micron I believe. Centrifuge can filter better than any filter.
To be honest....yes I did. I do not have the money to buy one so I'm going build one myself. I'm currently in the process of building my new distiller. When its finished the centrifuge will be my new project.
@flyfish31 That would work also I guess (to condense the gasses back to a liquid) Never tried it myself. Just use and adapt the stuff that I have lying around.I just do not have the money to buy stuff or materials.
if you send me your email address to thomascrush@gmail.com, i can send you pictures. I dont have a video yet. I am going to try sodium bicarbonate to help clarify and also neutralize the weak acids that apparently cause the vile smell. I used detergent as an experiment, and it had a noticeable effect on the smell. Does the 3 micron filter dramatically improve the fuel's appearance?
I have constructed a similar apparatus that I am testing now. The fuel does run quite well in my diesel tractor. I have two issues at the moment. Is there a good way to clean the fuel? It comes out full of particulates and is dark in color. Also, the smell of the produced fuel is pretty bad. What can be done to get rid of this smell, or do you know?
I filter it over a 3 micron hydraulic filter. It has a exchangeable filter cartridge, so when the filter is clogged I change it. Your right....the stuff smells horrible! Sadly it is the price to pay for free fuel I guess. I do not know a way to reduce or get rid of that smell. Maybe filtering over activated charcoal helps, but I never tried it. Any chance of a video or some pictures from your contraption?
I am very positively impressed with your device! Great job! I have a question: Is your device simply for demonstration, or do you use it to make diesel fuel for your engines? The reason I ask is that if it requires 1.5 liter of WMO per hour to heat and it produce 1.5 liters of diesel per hour, and it makes .8 liters of diesel per liter of WMO, that almost no net diesel is produced by your device? Wouldn't it be better to use another heat source, such as wood or plastic to do the heating?
The burner itself runs on wmo and uses aprox 1.5 litre a hour just for heating the boiler. For every litre of wmo I put in the boiler it gives me aprox 0.8 litre of diesel. so the yield is aprox 80% of the amount that i put in the boiler. The wmo is for free so I do not care that it takes 2.5 litre of wmo to make aprox 1 to 1.5 litre of diesel. Thats about 50% of the total amount. Its okay by me for free fuel.
How much waste motor oil blend does the burner go through to get a liters worth of usable diesel product? And how much cook able oil does it take to get that same liter? Questions questions hope this is not getting to bother you.
Okay...now I understand hahaha. Thanks for the compliment!
You have to remember that this is a very little boiler and also a little condenser. the amount of oil that is pumped to the boiler is very small. It is saver this way (no large quantity's of oil in the boiler) Once the boiler is hot and on running temperature it can make aprox. 1.5 litre a hour.
Ok, thanks for the explanation placed on the first video, it makes much more sense now. Glad to hear you are not breathing that smoke and are actually recycling it into the burner. Good luck and keep a close eye on the process. By the way what do you clean out of the boiler thick liquid or carbon chunks?
A gauge on the boiler might help warn you of possible dangerous pressure buildups caused by clogging of the condenser or line to it.
Your welcome. I remove the bolts that holds the the lid on the boiler. I then lift the boiler out of the fire tube and tip the remains in a bucket. Yes...its a tick liquid. I mix it with "fresh WMO" and filter it a bit so that it gets a bit thinner. I then use it as fuel for the WMO burner. So no waste to dispose. As you look closely on the lid of the boiler you see a connection for a pressure valve. Just did not have the time to install it yet.
Interesting, now how about part 3 with a verbal explanation and without all the music! By the way I hope you realize that those vapors that you light could be additives in the oil boiling off and they could be very poisonous! I think you should move this whole contraption outside and only run it on a windy day that is if you put any value on that building. Or your lungs. Yes I read your warning in part 1. Be very careful.
Thanks for the warning, but I know the fumes are not good for my health! Normally there is a ventilator above the fuel exit that sucks the fumes up and lead them in the combustion camber to be burnt. This was only to let people see that there was flowing fuel out of it.
This video's had spoken instructions to them where I explain the way it works. I was not happy how it sounded so I put the music under it. My native language is not English and it sounded stupid! Regards,
@Redkrabby I'm sure my talking in your native language would be worse if non-existent! So if you wish to leave the music on there, at least turn the recording volume down. I had my speaker volume set to normal and most videos run with that volume just fine. When I started yours...um, not so good! I go as far as to say it leaves a person rattled until they painfully reach for the volume control!
screw the plastic! Throw some red wine in that boiler and have yourself some Brandy!

What percentage of diesel do you obtain from wmo ? . Thanks

Nice system. I like the burner, did you make that as well? Also- are you using catalyst in your system, and if so then what is it's composition?
