What pressure of gas in this gas line?

[HomeDistiller]

@elochka21 not much, its mains natural gas so maybe 1 kPa (0.15 PSI) thats why i have a 1/2" jet, so i can get the amount of gas required, and the forced air is required because the gas is not going fast enough to create its on venturi effect.

so its simply a gas tube to which you blow air?

[HomeDistiller]

@fjoa123 yes and no you need to make sure that it has a venture effect on the gas input so it suck the gas in aswell.

@fungusamogus you mean you remove small animals habitat. plus wood is no good in a forge it needs to already be charcoal,

[HomeDistiller]

@fungusamogus it takes up more room is less controllable dirty takes longer to get running and the amount of work involved far outweighs the $3 an hour this costs to run. i do use homemade charcoal in my forge but for ease of use this wins hands down

[HomeDistiller]

@fungusamogus you have got to be kidding.. this costs about $3AUS an hour to run and you think wood is cheaper?

[HomeDistiller]

that is just a test rig and garden hose wont be used in the final setup, dont worry about that

[UGLandrum]

Great effort and innovation! I love that nice roar it had just before it went out, but is that garden hose your using? That hose can be eroded by propane, natural, and MAPP gas. It may serve you well for a while, but just be careful.
