Soda can stove #1

My first try of a DIY soda can stove, a simple variation on the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_can_stove

Filler hole in the middle is covered with a coin (not plugged), wich acts as a safety valve in case of backfire.

In the video the stove is buning homebrew prune liquor (as it would be because of my east european origin ;) ). Nomaly denatured alcohol should be used, NOT GASOLINE, ACETONE ETC. !!!

For a first try and considering that didnt use any plans but basically "winged" it works pretty good I guess ...

@m1dcat: I actualy bought a gas burner later, but it's definately a fun little thingamabob to make just for the fun of it . cheers :-)

the fire is from alcohol?,gas?....is it good to cook anything in a so,so quick way?

[mgajic]

@tauruslatino: homebrew prune liquor actually (see vid description) ... about 40-50% alcohol I guess ... you could use denatured alcohol (spiritus), but nothing more potent than that is advised.

do you think you can put a soda on top of that stove and film it for me?

[megabrontes123]

wow, thats kind of funny how you have the stove, on a stove burner!

[hellx159]

an acetone one would burn basically for a long time, but the problem is burning it out

@knivesfishwild: "Laughing Out Loud" ? you're supposed to put the alcohol in the burner and light it ... not to drink it all ! ;-)

@pntballer20: sorry to dissapoint, but we're a bit short on idiots ... also, I kind of still need my eyes/hands and I actually like being married, so my answer would have to be 'no' ;-)
