Waste oil Burner WVO WMO

[HomeDistiller]

thats 11.1KW you got into that water if it started to boil at 5 mins (or 133.2 KWh's if ran for an hour that is) so you could say a little more than that i think (if the water was 20°C to start with)

I love the vacuum induction air unit! Nothing says toasty like a swirly twirly flame

[FrontCortex]

Very cool! You need to make a long video of this at night! And do some slow-mo, that would be awesome!

[glumpy10]

@FrontCortex

I was playing witht he latest one just last Night actually and admireing how nice the drum looked when the whole thing was glowing.

I have a new mega hi res Cam that does slow mo ( apparently!) so might be an opportunity to try it out!

[FrontCortex]

@glumpy10 DO IT, DO IT, DOOOOO IT!!!!

[FrontCortex]

@glumpy10 @glumpy10 Also, have you seen this very simple and efficient oil burning furnace design on YT by richiewrench? It looks to be a bit safer for indoors than this one. watch?v=1LyxOeVkvW8

[glumpy10]

@FrontCortex

Nearly Identical principal to what I have been playing with. once you get the chamber hot the oil vapourises and burns perfectly. Making a smaller burning chamber that retains the heat so lower output burns are sustainable instead of usint the whole drum as a burning chamber.

I was using a pressed steel pan about 1.6mm and I have nearly burned it away in a few hours due to how hot I have been running it. Just boils the steel. A brake drum be perfect to use for a flame holder.

I have been playing with a modification of this burner this week using a car blower. Not as powerful of course but much quieter and still has plenty of heat. Using 12V I could set the thing up anywhere and run it off a battery

I am also working on an enclosed type burner that will just push a jet of flame so i can incorporate it into a gas water heater or a spa heater. Similar to a babbington but fan only

I just use a gate valve to regulate flow. Bit touchy but you soon get the hang of it.

[hanghoodiescum]

@glumpy10 hello there again you mentioned using a 12 volt blower which blower would it be as i have a garage and no lecky and im looking at heating this up thanx again

[hanghoodiescum]

great thanx for that will you be making any more burners / do you need a drip valve or just feed it straight in im making somethin simaler thanx man

[hanghoodiescum]

hi there could you tell me how you fire this up from cold

[glumpy10]

@hanghoodiescum

Have a look at comments below where starting procedure is described.

[hanghoodiescum]

thats a awsome burner

[uraldneprvw]

WOW! This is the best video for the DIY person who wants total simplicity and maximum results. It has made me re-think my strategy for this type of machine. Very well done and thanx for the vid. Thinking outside the thinking outside the box.

[glumpy10]

Oil feed is straight into air tube. No atomizer or nozzle at all. The air and heat does all the work.

Haven't measured temp, more interested in actual heating power.

Fuel consumption is dependent on how hard you run the thing and what the output is. I'm wanting the max consumption not the min.

It will run perfectly clean so the only output is the smell of warm air.

If pushed hard it will produce a little smoke haze but that just shows sufficient fuel flow for the amount of air available.

[penguinistas]

Thanks for posting the video, great idea.

Do you have any kind of atomizer on the end of the oil drip tube or does it just drip in?

Have you tried measuring the max temperature?

How long does a gallon of WMO last?

Does it burn pretty cleanly or are there fumes, smoke or soot fouling the "exhaust"?

[IamDJ556]

@penguinistas the oil is turned into a vapor or mist by the fast air being blown into the unit

[FarceTheory]

Tree huggers would be proud!D

[bigbollocks69]

i meant to say how long does a 25l drum last :D

[glumpy10]

@bigbollocks69

Bit hard to say. Depends how high you turn up the blast furnace and how many times the drum gets rained on while its sitting in the backyard.

Best I can say is a usable, if not a long time.

I'll look at a hot water tank next time as these are made of heavier metal.

Also made a smaller burner out of a fire extinguisher which is thicker and works great.

[bigbollocks69]

how long does a gallon of oil last ?

[greasemonkey2014]

That'll roast your marshmallows.

[greasemonkey2014]

That'll roast your marshmallows.

[pyroman675]

thats what you call purifying water

[pyroman675]

vortex of FIRE.man thats one sweet machine you got there

[fireball1821]

what do u use it for?

[1700iDiGuy]

shit, you could cremate dead pets with that thing!

[boochieboy814]

Do you run the oil supply tube directly into the same tube you are blowing air through (essentially blowing the WMO in along with the air)?

[glumpy10]

@boochieboy814

Yes, that's it.

Some of the oil vapourises in the tube and comes out as vapor, some burns in the tube and some comes out as hot oil which readily ignites in the drum.

The feed tube is about 6 inches back from the burner end of the air tube but I'm going to try pulling it back further to preheat the oil more in the air tube.

[IamDJ556]

@glumpy10 use copper tubing and coil it around the tube once or twice and then have it go into the tube

[glumpy10]

@IamDJ556

No thanks!

All that would do is make the WVO or WMO coke up the tube and block the oil flow. The thing works perfectly well now as it and I specificaly tried to avoid having the oil burn in the feed tube to avoid this problem I discovered in previous experiments.

[garner5mat]

can you show a video of the starting procedure or direct me to a place that would show me how you start this type of unit.

[glumpy10]

To start it I just put some scrunched up newspaper in the bottom, pour a cup of kero or diesel over it, light it and start the vac. It fires up almost instantly and then you turn the oil on rich to start with and off it goes.

Dead cold to full heat takes about a minute.

[mytickets]

Need to use the steam to power a blower for the air flow.Tesla

[rovidius2006]

love it !,how do you feed it?

[glumpy10]

Just by gravity from a 25L drum placed Higher than the burner.
