bio rocket heater

Why does the pipe look a cool purple colour. Almost like a warp drive nacelle.

@1dschamp It looks purple because the camera used has a ccd element as the optical sensor this is sensitive to infra red so the normal orange glow you would actually see with the naked eye if you were stood there looking at the heater is swamped out on the camera by all the i.r. energy emitted by the hot spot. Try pointing a TV remote at your camera and press a button you will see the i.r. LED looks to be lighting up a kind of whitish purple but you cant see it with the naked eye. Same deal.

Sounds almost like a pulsejet!

Hey, looks like a joe pipe to me. Very similar except I use propane. Been thinking of using wood gas. Excellent demonstration. If you had you copper oil tube wrapped around the hot spot, would it put out enough heat to vapor the oil? Joshua.

Hi I atomise the fuel using a paint spray gun (very crude I know)

the peak temp should easily vapourise most oils
