This is the seam element, water s slowly feed into the coffee pot element and the steam pulses out the other side.

  • I Burn A Lot Of Methyl Alcohol(HEET) in my alcohol camp stoves that we build out of used beer cans. Is It Possible with this method to produce this type of fuel? We also can burn denatured alcohol and Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol in our stoves.I am looking for an alternative fuel. Thanks for sharing this cool video.

  • i got the idea for this frome thoes little homade beer can stoves. i think as long as you get output at around 200 proof it will work. my intent is to burn it in small egnines.

    that would be cool to make your camping fuel from food wast, great idea.

  • What kind of alcohol proof are you able to get from that?

  • I am going for 200,I will keep redesigning until I get it.

  • Hi,

    seems to be a very interesting device,

    but all of your videos are unfortunately very blurry

    and you don´t let the image stay very long,so too many video effects.

    Please come to overunity dot com

    and describe your process in detail.

    Many thanks.

    Regards, Stefan.

  • you do realize that while my videos are crude there is no such thing as overunity

  • Toxic wouldnt drink from u dont sell ur stuff drink it urself

  • DUDE QUIT USING PLASTIC - TOXIC. and nj4xfever, you can use any kind of alcohol or fuel in those stoves.

  • Unfortunately, you can not simply distill alcohol from water to get 200 proof as the two form an azeotrope at around 190 proof. At this concentration, the two fluids have equal vapor pressures and will distill off in the same ratio for ever and ever . . . . To get pure alcohol, industrial plants add a little benzene to get past that point. But then that makes for a cancerous brew.

  • i cannot find this song anywhere... suggestions??

  • neat! , verry interesting concept

  • ethanol, being very hygroscopic, will absorb water from the air... that makes 200 proof very difficult to achieve. But I wish you the best of luck with your goal!

    200 proof isn't necessary for ethanol fuel, actually, having water in the ethanol can increase the performance of the fuel, since water converted to steam in the combustion chamber will expand 16,000 times of the original liquid volume of water. And expansion is what you're going for in an internal combustion engine...

  • i see how your heating it ok, it's the re-condensing that may require a new vid or explanation here.

  • anything over 190 proof wil evaporate at room tempature if not in a sealed container. good luck with 200 proof

  • ethanol or "moonshine" will burn in a penny stove(beer can stove) as long as its 100 proof or greater. the higher the alcahol content the longer the burn time. I use 2 tbl spoons of it in my stove and get a 15 min burn from 140 proof moonshine
