found a way to make my heater burn twice as hot,,, today i was messing arround with my builders trowle ,, and spilled some oil ,,, and scrope it up with the trowle,, and to clean it ,,i put into the air intake,, and it started to burn very hot, and when i took it away it cooled a lot,, so i put it back again ,,and left it there all day,,great heat all day long ,, and very little oil,,, i will post a vid when i find my camra,,,,,
Ok. I got the picture. But the diameters seems to be giant dimensions to me. Isn't it the pre cut sheet you can weld together, you have drawed? 84 cm Ø is much bigger then the one on the movie? Or did I get it wrong? And aren't the holes at the center/middle of the heater bigger then 6mm, Or does they just seem to be bigger then the other holes?
Mmm well, the 84cm are OK. If you are familiar with the sign Ø then I dont have to explain. Otherwise see it like this: you have a circle, in that circle set a point and make one whole round, beginning from that point and till you reach the point again it is exactly 84cm. I hope I explained it good :P xd.
And about the wholes, they are 6mm, they just look probably bigger in the movie cause of the fire :)
Ok. I just have learned that Ø is the diameter of a circle, but then I completely understand you now :-) Thanks. I have stored your picture on my PC now, just in case.
@Aster82Phoenix --- it always amazes me when eggheads take on airs to show thier superiority. You can go and look at any math symbol list and find Ø but what does an empty set have to do with this? you wasted alot of space trying to show how smart you are instead of just explaining what YOU mean by Ø . if you mean radius, diameter or circumference, just say so.
@chosen1atWork - Sir it is you who has chose to take on airs to show thier superiority. A few button clicks and you would discover that English is not this man's native laungage. He is from bosnia herzegovinais. It is not uncommon for someone to write in a forien laungage to them very matter of factly. This can come across brash.. but that is not the intent often.
@coachgeo I take on no airs.. I had to search the net to find out what Ø stood for. It has been many years since college and calculas classes. I don't care what his native tongue is... IMHO he was rude to the person who asked him what Ø ment and for them to go look it up for themselves... THAT, IMHO is rude. I found no math page that had the symbol for anything but an empty set, and an empty set does not make sense for what he is talking about.
is there a tube on the top of your hearter that goes out through the roof like a wood burning stove heater has? or does the smoke just fill the garage up? if so that doesnt seem real healthy on the lungs...never seen oil burn with out any smoke...how does this work?
Mmmm.....XD. Ya of course there is a "tube" on top of the heater and it leads the smoke out through the roof. It cant be seen in that video, maybe I should make another one. :)
Hi folks. After some messages and requests on more details for my burner I made a picture that explains well the dimensions from the burner, just click on MORE INFO and you will see a link to the picture.
O and the burner uses around 10 liters oil on a day, depends on how much oil you give it to him. The burner gets oil through a pipe that comes from an oil barrel. On the barrels bottom between the barrel and the pipe is a simple valve that regulates the amount of oil.
I made one testburner today with to cans , similar design, and it actually worked! I think the nice thing with this construction is that there isn't any HOT spots. The flame is kept inside the burner, a bit from the edges, due to the even spread airholes, and warms evenly the hole thing. And that the bottom container isolates the first flame a bit so that the top of the oil is warmed up to the flamepoint. I wonder about one thing: How much oil on the bottom is needed?
Ok, it's really very simple then? No secrets in the bottom container? I just shoot another question again. I hope it's ok for you..? Does the outlet of the feedline stop in the middle of the bottom container, or nearer the outer side? And is there an airintake in the bottom/do you use the inspection-lid as an airintake, or does the air start first from the cyclone-part?
Thank you for answering! Now I'm really curious :) In the bottom of the burner, is there some kind of float system to regulate the amount of oil there? There seems to be an inspection hole on the side of the bottom container. Can you see anything of the contruction through that hole? And how do you start the heater when it's cold??
One more answer again xd, nice to see that there are curious people about this :). And to answer you: At the bottom of the burner there is no kind of float system XD, its empty. The oil comes from a barrel through a pipe into the burner, there is a simple valve between the barrel and the pipe that regulates the amount of oil :) And that inspection hole is actually a little opening to clean the burner, some small amount of ashes left there. And I start the heater with a little fuel, Diesel :).
That was interesting! How does the oil go into the burning area? Is there any fan to blow in the air, or is it just suckin in air through the holes? Does the exhaust go out through the roof?
Yea, it is interesting, everyone who see it in real says its awesome XD.
The oil goes to the burning area from a barrel with "natural fall" (basic physics xd). And there is no fan, the heater sucks air through the holes like you said. And the exhaust go out through the roof :)
I am sorry that I didnt yet posted a how to build this thing, I was very busy during the last 2 weeks, I think I will handle to post it till next weekend :)
Nope it does not make any smoke. Depends on how you use it you also can bring it to make smoke, but thats rare. But ya, its not for the use in a room. As I wrote I use it in a car garage, and I think it is the best place where you can use it. :) I will post soon the dimensions for it, I wanna make it nice XD.
Mm well as I wrote in the description it works with old oil from cars. My dad is a car mechanic so we got some oil together thanks to the oil changes. I cant show you how to build it but I could get the dimensions and write them down here with some instructions on how to build it. And ya, it throws nice heat, it was once in a room with 100 quadrat meters and it was enough. :) I will try to get the dimensions and instructions in 2 or 3 days. :)

Hi take a look at my homemade waste oil burner it is easy to fire.

And there is NO smoke in the garage at all :)
Aster82Phoenix 2 years ago
ok i was wondering about that. so is that just a pot on the bottom, that oil just drips in?
moto9ll 2 years ago
I just got mine going
Works great
It only take a small bit of paper to get it going
when i but a lot of oil in sounds like a jet !!
Thanks Jeff
I got some youtube posts!!!!
