Silvio ! Excellent video, great added value to the already great video of Tetkoba... and I can't resist to tell you your delicious Italian accent makes it a pleasure to watch ;-)
“CQ, CQ, CQ” ! I grew up hearing my dad make that call on his home made ham radios. Kindred spirits all around the world! Nice work Mr. De Leonardo, thank you.
hello Silvio greetings from Malaysia! Your instruction is really great and help me to understand the whole process of construction. You are very patient and take the trouble to explain properly step by step.Good job! Maybe you could try to make the"RSR" pot stand/windshield and share your experience with us. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Ikansusu the type of burner here explained is a side burner and does not need a pot stand. The reason it is made from a 57mm dia can is for stability reasons. You can look on my channel for a burn test of this stove. Thanks for your comments.
Absolutely a great video, very smooth and awesome, you should be a teacher somewhere, the stove looks to be a great design, I will attempt to make one of these soon. Great job very kind sir, and I thank you for an above the top project and video.
Thank you Sylvio. You make not only functional but also elegantly made stoves. I have made several alcohol stoves from aluminum cans but i prefer to go to resale shops to harvest aluminum drinking bottles to make mine now. I like that they have much thicker wall and are more durable. Harder to cut of course. Is there any reason you drill your gas jet holes after you assemble the stove? I like to drill my gas jet holes before i press my two parts of the stove together. This way i can sand and remove any burrs from outside and inside. Thanks for your video. It is always fun to see a real craftsman at work.
Great video Silvio, I'm just wondering how many ml dose that particular red bull can hold, I don't think you've mentioned it, sorry if you have 😅? Benedek
Just rewatched the video, and I see that I misinterpreted what you were saying, sorry for my previous question, can't wait to give the stove a go😊 . Benedek
Hey Silvio, just wondering if you have the time, could you please explain to me how this stove works. So when I cover up the top of this stove with my pot, I would have thought that there wouldn't be enough oxygen entering middle of the stove?
Hi Silvio, I'm very impressed with your craftsmanship and patience in creating these stoves. Can I buy some readymade from you?Thanks and compliments,Marianne
wah...that is very interesting...i'd tried the tetkoba technique but the result is not as good as i thought n i figure out maybe some leaks occur n i thought of using jb weld also...
Thank you Silvio for making a very instructional video. You not only made a functional stove you made it beautiful by polishing. Are you from Italy? Your accent reminds me of my grandfather who came to America from Calabria in Southern Italy. Perhaps you are not from Calabria as they say people from there are " Cappo Tosto ". ( you do not seem thick headed ...haha )
Tetkoba's capillary stove is a center burner, you built a side burner. They both are good stoves though. A center burner is good for small pots, the side burner is good for larger pots. I'd like to see the difference in burn-time between the two, which one lasts longer and boils faster.
Hi comfortouch here I am describing another method of the capillary hoop stove which can be manufactured with more ease of construction, also the side burner does not need a pot stand. My version here is made with a slightly larger can (57mm) this makes it more stable for the pot, as far as burning time is concerned it may take a little less than Tetkoba's as it has more jets hence a larger flame.
I use steel wool, try to do it when the can is still full with soda so that the pressure inside will make it more stiff. After cleaning with steel wool you can open and drink the soda. You can see me using steel wool at 16:36 in the video.
+Alan McKay I was intrigued by that tool also. That tool was kind of tough to locate because I had no clue as to what it's called, but through some searching: It's called a "Ten Point Spacing Divider" at www.starpath.com/catalog/accessories/1857.htm And at Amazon it's listed as: Weems & Plath Marine Navigation 10 Point Divider (6 inch) They're expensive though...
Silvio, I am a bit confused by the dimensions you indicate in the video. You say the creased capillary can is 28 mm and the inner top can is 12 mm. This adds up to 40 mm. Your outer can in 57 mm (or 56) tall. That would make it 16 or 17 mm taller. However, you said that it was just 6 mm taller. Then you cut off 2 mm, but that is still 14 or 15 mm taller, not 4 mm. Also, why did you not just cut the outer base can to the correct height rather than having to cut it with scissors?
Ecco ce una spjegazjone breve nel video a 5.05-5.23. trova l' altro video High capacity alcohol stove (tutorial + boil test) ce un altra spjegazjone dettaliata a 5.12 - 5.34.
I am sorry to say but don't have any of that type of alcohol and I don't know how it burns in it. I am using methylated spirit and it works fine for me.
Yes I know there is a little bit more work in making this stove but the preheat time is is only 10 seconds and not 1 1/2 min like the standard. also the fuel efficiency is around 25% better also.
Thanks for your comment. This version of the hoop stove being a side burner I used a slightly bigger can so that you can place your pot directly on it and be more stable. I also made a hoop side burner from the large beer can (67 mm) for the reason of stability and no need for pot stand. I will make a burn test with the two versions.
The l One I also like electronics and home construction, i am also a radio amature but I don't practice anymore. I am focusing in making a 12 vdc to 220 volt ac inverter. I am just looking around on the net to get some ideas until i build mine, Its rather something else to do in my free time. If I be successful I will publish a video here on you tube.
I cannot tell where the dividing tool was bought from as I don't know. I inherited some tools that my late father had and it was with them. Thanks for your comment.
