Alcohol coil pressure stove 

i have just started experimenting with pressurized "coil" stoves. what size hole have you found to be optimal for denatured alcohol, and what size for white gas? thanks! keep the videos coming, i like the way you have incorporated a priming dish without having something extra to keep up with.

You can skip the bottle cap, take the round end of a screwdriver handle to the bottle top and sink it to a dish shape and shorten the coil

Your vid made me think on my burner.the jet may just be to small for alcohol.i still want to mod it out.

Hey very neat construction on the stove, but how did you manage to pressurize the inside of the bottle (where the fuel is). I didn't see a pump or anything in your design.

How many holes have you drilled in the pipe?

nice job! Please ignore the trolls and haters....ya just know they NEVER build anything in their life! Thanks for posting!

Is the copper tubes in the liquid ?

Does the copper pipe burn up or wear out? How long does one of those last? Very inspiring, I am gathering materials to make one or two.

Idea, go onlinw and order an HHO 36 micro burner and put that on your alcohol stove. Try a paint can with one alcohol resivor with high heat carbon felt inside a copper tube with hole's drilled into it. Then another resivor that can hold some presure with a copper tube with steel wool threaded through it into the alcohol resivor with a copper pipe that run's up to a valve then to one of those HHO 36 jet micro burner's. Reset the burner so you can still put the lid onto the can. Make a grill top with nub's you can set down onto the paint can to hold a skillet or large pot. Make a craddle with fold out leg's you set the paint can down into has a sturdy base. 😀👍

Propane works pretty good even though is hidden under that white mat and going through the coil.

@ChefCrash1 hi there ChefCrash1 i like the design of you stove i live in the phillippines and the prize og alternative fuel is getting higher and higher me and my family cooks always can you help me building one of mine i'm a newbie in alchohol stove one thing a want to ask i ho does this really work can i use cooking oil or kerosine in this stove will it not explode or so on thank you verry much i'm epecting a reply from you as soon as you read this post

Wow that's intensive. That could heat a big space

I live in australia and my hard ware store only sell 1cm copper pipes is there anything around the house tht i can use???? Or aAustralia hardware store u can suggest?.

@AtomicCheese92 Heat is transferred via the copper coil down into the tank, heating the fuel, creating pressure which drives the fuel up into the coil which then vaporizes and pushed out the jet where it mixes with air and burns.

Are those tiny holes at the end of the pipes needed? Very impressive. Thanks.

Restrict the amount of fuel that can be siphoned up and you'll get a more moderate flame when using white gas.

Could you please explain how this works? I'm really interested, and want to learn about it!

@redcapedjoker Thanks. The initial burn (priming), heats the copper coil which then transfers heat into the fuel reservoir. Air in reservoir expands and pushes fuel up through coil.

1:30 does "jet too small for alcohol" translate into too much air in the air/fuel mix?

outstanding! never heard of using ice. but I was gonna try wax next time I bend some up. because likewise it melts out not clogging the orifice. good to know these things in case you need to work with whats on hand. again thanks

Coleman fuel is NOT kerosene. Coleman fuel is also known as whitegas. I'd guess you're using whitegas. I like how you used the bottlecap for the preheat pan. Did you JB weld the bottle together?

I checked the air con olace and the pipes they sell.are still to big . So i really dont no where to get the pipes from ?

Ok it's cool, but what do you do with it? Is this just a demonstration piece or is there an actual use for it?

I have made one last week but still waiting to fire it. fear of blowing up is the main reason of my delay as I have seen so many alcohol burn patients here in my country. I am a doctor working with burn patients. watching similar clips to get more information. thanks for sharing the video.

HiChefCrash1, Forgive my ignorance on you and any stoves, just to say this is the first time I am viewing this video and the stove looks great! Have you fount a fuel or mix of fuel or altered the hole for pure Alcohol? I love following these things, and at the moment I am enjoying your stove, and especially the way it looks. Just wondering whether the stove will work with the ‘lid’ screwed down hard? And or I guess carry it does it leak? How do you get the ideas on sizes? Take care. mrbluenun

Sirve con diesel??

@TheMuslimKiller Dude.. you can try filling it up with dry sand before bending it. you can blow it out after you're done. works every time.

Cool! But how do extinguish the flame?

Russian stove see Универсальная Горелка Олдыбенятова From Russia with love !!!

3:23 what are you doing at 3:23 that made the click sound and coused the flame to just go out??????

not sure if this works but it's an old and still only way of making wind instruments you fill the tube with water and freeze it then you bend it.

Need help. I have a svea 123 stove and the burner is fubar. I can get a modern replacement for 50$ ish. Or I can make one of these coils for way cheaper,and possibly have a stove that's alot easier to light. My issues are modifying the coil to fit my svea tank. I'm using a sigg tourist so I got plenty of room. Any help?

A whole lot of home heating stoves, you know the ones you hang on the wall or keep in a cupboard, have gas elements heating the water in pipes and it continues to heat that water as you draw more off. I am assuming the liquid used as fuel ‘cools the pipe enough, either that or the copper does ware out, but after a few years!

Coleman fuel is NOT kerosene, it is naptha. Look up the MSDS (material safety data sheet) for coleman fuel if you don't believe me. Burning CF in such a stove is a fairly risky proposition as naptha has a very low flash point and explosive vapors. I'm not saying don't do it, but do it outside with a fire extinguisher handy!

so you dont use wicks? how does that work

No wick??? U have video for diy this coil?? (for me)

1:59 The text says Coleman Fuel (kerosene). Does that mean you are using a mixture of coleman fuel and kerosene? Coleman fuel is aka white gas. It’s essentially gasoline without the additives. Kerosene is more like diesel. Coleman fuel is flammable, kerosene is combustible. They are not the same fuel. I’m just trying to figure out what fuel is being used.

does the bottom get hot?

hey plarky you can try reece plumbing or one of the plumbers supplies i bought some 6mm copper tubing for a mini boiler from them there oz wide

0:37 are you using isopropyl alcohol?

Did you stop the flame or did it run out of fuel right when your hands appear on the screen?

At steveBB30 umm where do i get brake tubing from ? and whats it for , cars?

@1crazyfocker it may not sound like him blowing it out6 b/c the mic is close to the flame and that roar is drowning out the sound of an exhaled breath, and as soon as the roar of the flame is out you can clearly hear the escaping vapors rushing out untill he unscrews the lid then all quiet. kinda threw me for a second also till i looked at the refl;ection in the stove. sonded like compressed air for some reason,, then realized that was just escaping vapors

@ChefCrash1 so would having wicks just help lighting it?

Hi m8, look for stores that sell air conditioning supplies. Copper used in AC systems comes in smaller sizes. Hope this helps:)

love it. going to try to make from your design if you dont mind ?

try denatured alcohol, it burns dif then reg isopropal.

Not sure, but think the little drop of fuel poured into the bottle cap creates the pressure.

Coleman fuel is naphta also comonly knowned as white gas. Kerosene is a different ball game (also knowned as jet fuel).

can u do this in a maison jar

@guruji243 Thanks. The holes were made base on someone's suggestion. They proved to do nothing.

Also try looking for an "ice maker installation kit"

easy & beautiful. good sound

VERY freaking cool!

Colman fuel is not kerosene! It is "white" gas and a lot more dangerous. Kerosene might be used in a stove like this but I would thing it would runaway too. That's why they are called "Alcohol "stoves.

Coleman fuel is absolutely not Kerosene. Coleman fuel is "white gas" (Naphtha) which is a lighter distillate of crude than even gasoline. Kerosene is Diesel #1. Diesel #2 is more viscous and is what most diesel trucks and cars run on. Kerosene will burn with thick, black smoke (it is a diesel fuel, afterall). White gas burns rather cleanly (though not as clean as propane).

I notice the Jacob's Creek more.

Very Good

Jet too big for kerosene, but that's completely acceptable.

WHAT IS THIS MAGIC!?!

No final botou a mão na tampa e tava quente 😁

try with wick

Thanks bro ill check :)

Coleman fuel is not kerosene

@ChefCrash1 okay...damn it sure does not sound like you blowing it out..lol sounded more like a ..ummm... no idea thats why i asked.. thanks for the reply. great video, and flame trower of death...JK great work

OMG...fucking SMART!

@1crazyfocker I blew the flame out then loosened the cap to release the pressure in the stove. Not doing so, may cause the escaping vapors to catch fire.

The more refined the fuel the larger the jet.

@bontromium Be my guest, keep it safe. Glad you like it.

Ok yer ill see what i can i do. okay thanks heaps :)

@tomrockhold I my wife is very accommodating (bless her:). Alcohol does not produce any smoke or smell. Coleman fuel smells a little. As you could see I didn't leave it on too long:)

Haha! look mom! i had no wicks :D awesome joke mate! :D

Wicks will be good

Will this light my cigarette.

LOL! Your wife must have wanted to KILL you! The whole house had to smell like a gasoline and oil fire! I have been relegated to the front porch for my stove experiments... :-D

ah nvm just finished the video :) sry

What is this junk? It's blatantly obvious that you shut something off at the end. Hand goes down, hear a click, and out goes the flame.

Can gasoline work on these type of stoves?
