I enjoyed the video, nice work. But I also did not understand the purpose of the rims below. I thought to catch ash, but I could not tell if the combustion chamber was open to the rims container. I also did not follow exactly how the heat and hot air flow to the room worked, and what the big hose connection to the side does. It would be nice to see a follow-up video that illustrates these aspects of your design!
I understood most of it, however I built one of my own design that works on the same blue-flame principle. But I agree, a little more detail could be included for those not well versed in the function of the components.
The craftsmanship is beautiful. The assortment of tools you have makes me jealous. With that said, it seems a little complicated for what it currently is. I built a used engine oil burner using three propane cylinders and an old natural gas furnace. It's nowhere as pretty as yours, but it's 90% efficient. I've been improving on it for the past three years. It's now running a pump, filters, oil preheat and safety devices to shut it down in case of a failure of any kind. It outputs a maximum of 140000 BTU, and i just recently designed a system for cleaning ash out of the burn pot without the need for disassembly. Next year's improvements will be the addition of automation - startup, temperature control, idle, self-cleaning, and shutdown.
Yea, this design seems overly complex. I wouldn't want to try and build this when there are simpler designs that are much simpler. I don't even understand what all the parts do. I think it has an integral heat exchanger, but there are simpler ways to do that as well.
Very good work, but I don't understand why?? You can make this type of stove for 10x less time and money. And, why you use angle grinder when you have plasma cutter? 🤔
Looks pretty amazing, but seems to me he has a few thousand dollars into this between materials and time building it. Could've just bought something cheaper.
amazing build but I ,like others can't figure out how deep the flame pot goes..... and why the rims and airflow throughout the stove. great idea 💡 with the heat exchanger . the flames /heat originates in the burn pot ...rises up the burn tube ,then is sent downwards through the exchangers and out the flue ........ ?maybe .... still not sure what the rims are for but ,interested . keep the vidio s comming
