This is so interesting that I had to back it up several times to get it in my brain because I was cooking with my back to the TV. I came online to thank the creator of Zen Garden Oasis. I have chickens now and already use all of eggshells as they are organically derived. But I'm going to do a trial run of this project. We are in an El Nino year. Between that and the horrific geoengineering here we are guaranteed trees down and probably lengthy power outages. I need all the survival skills I can accrue. Thanks!

The idea of making the liquid fuel into a gel is an excellent one. Liquid alcohol near open flame is a lethal combination and it is very easy to have minor disasters with this type of heater and some children and/or pets.

I don't mean this in a snarky way, but what is the advantage of gelling the fuel? I'm just curious about that. BTW, I think calcium carbonate would be more efficient than egg shells, since it would have way less impurities and would require less time and work. Thanks for sharing your experiments with us!

@Nocare89 5 месяцев назад

Cans are usually lined with petg now. I'm more concerned about that ducting since galvanized metals burning produce fumes that can flat kill you. Pretty cool transformation. You can skip the crushing step if you're willing to just wait a few days. Drop it in a bucket and maybe shake it once a day when you check. Any leftover solids should then be larger so you don't really need to filter as finely.

Between the energy expended in baking the shells, blending them to a powder, reducing them down, and the energy of the alcohol on its own, are you gaining anything? I've watched multiple heater designs on your channel. Which would you say is the best and longest lasting? I doubt anyone would want to refuel multiple times through the day and night.

@ZenGardenOasis. 5 месяцев назад

If you enjoy experimenting and trying new ideas ( which I do ). Then try flame heaters. If your only wanting minimum time and effort obviously thermal mass (containers filled with water and heating by the sun) is the way to go. Check out the cat litter container video. If your just wanting to save $ get a electric milk house heater and timer. All of my heating videos are geared towards greenhouse warming (40-50f). Not home heating to 72f.

@johnkm77 5 месяцев назад

@ZenGardenOasis. I'm starting a homestead while working a full time job, so the goal is minimal time and money investment. I would need it for a small greenhouse (if I recall, it's about 10 x 14 hoop style, mainly to keep my cold sensitive trees and other plants in through the winter.

@custombassboosts 5 месяцев назад

You need calcium carbonate (the main constituent of egg shells). Calcium tablets may or may not contain calcium carbonate and can have many other ingredients (the same goes for chalk). Luckily pure powdered calcium carbonate can be bought rather cheaply online. The ultimate goal is to make calcium acetate by reacting calcium carbonate with acetic acid (so you might want to buy calcium acetate instead). For best results make the calcium acetate solution as concentrated as possible, this so called saturated solution can be made by dissolving calcium acetate in cold (not hot) water. When a saturated calcium acetate solution is "plunged" into ethanol, the solidification is often instant, although sometimes a short vigorous stir is needed. Mixed with ethanol it converts back to liquid over a few days, so it's best mixed right before use.

@oopsagain1surname 5 месяцев назад

Interesting chemically, BUT.... You buy 99% alcohol at about $16/gal. Buy vinegar at $10/gal. Burn fuel to heat hit egg shells and dry them, use electricity and wear out a blender, and use more fuel to boil down mixture and in the end you have a little fuel. I think your egg shells are better off in your garden.
