Good video. Gerry, can you talk us through what's happening? I'm guessing the air flows up from underneath and comes out the drilled holes and passes over the oil which is burning and being dripped into the biscuit chin area and somehow this cool air coming at the bottom of the flame mixing with the fresh oil starting to burn help to create the rising bright yellow flame. Is that what's happening? Fresh cold air coming out of those holes, feeding the hot burning oil, like a fan as you said?

Liquid oil doesn’t burn. Heating it or burning kerosene causes oil vapors. The oil vapor and fresh air from the drilled holes are what is combusting.

I used to weld workshop heaters that used the waste engine oil from cars/ trucks etc. I made the firebox from 3mm mild steel, but they were banned in EU because of the emissions. Watching this makes me wonder if the company that i used to make them for, couldn't have just switched fuels, because the principle looks similar.

My uncle who was a farmer and drove race cars. Had this exact same setup in his Race car shop on the farm. It worked great.

Finally, someone who speaks English. Thumbs up. Subscribed.

That was a great example of the simple principles of burning used oil, thank you Gerry.

I used a bunt cake pan made from steel that has a cone already stamped into the center and capped the center with another can with the air holes. The natural draft makes a real hot fire. Thanks for the video! Cheers.

Yep Gerry, you have come a long way, been watching your videos for a few years, very professional set up now, - I just love how it roars, simply from the air intake drawn in from the bottom, no fans necessary - Excellent work Gerry.

God Bless all. Thank you for your great video.

The pan can also be made from an old brake drum, they last almost forever and radiate well. I built a fan forced one many years ago to heat water and run under floor hydronic heating, and as I built the whole thing into a detached shed it also serves as a great clothes dryer in winter. I recently upgraded to a pulse pump system rather than babbit style, and fuel consumption is now under 1l/hour. I get free oil from a heavy machinery company as used hydraulic oil, it looks pristine and has no contaminates visible. There is no smoke or smell once started and it heats a 200L repurposed and modified (ex electric) stainless hot water cylinder in just a few hours. I control that temp to 50C using a thermostatic valve to divert excess heat to our 22kL water storage tank, keeping it above painfully cold and reducing freeze risk. I feed that HWC water into the house to the inlet side of two Bosch instant gas water heaters. The gas heaters only add the differential heat from input to output, so gas consumption through winter when the waste oil heater runs is almost zero, but if either system runs out of fuel, there is still always hot water available. I made the hydronic system with pex pipe and old aluminium printing plates used to clamp the pex to the underside of the floor, then I applied closed cell foamboard to seal and insulate it. This does require access under the house floor to install. It is one of the best, and cheapest sources of clean heat available. It does make a bit of rumbling noise at night, but not loud enough to disturb anybody. I also designed a more efficient burner that now gives complete combustion, lowering a polished piece of stainless steel into the exhaust flu comes out shiny after hours of use. Apologies for the rant... just build one.

For your next prototype, you might try this to keep your fuel from leaking out from around the bottom of the can. Use the can as your template, make your mark, but cut the hole smaller than the diameter of the can. Then make slices radially out to your mark. Put the can on top, then bend the tabs up and in to the bottom. That gives you a little bent up lip to trap the fuel in the bowl. Secure it with a couple sheet metal screws if you want. One on either side will do fine.

Nice idea, thank you!!!

Yep - very impressive for an experimental or prototype unit and quite unique too. Haven't seen anything quite like it on You Tube vids going back to 2013 when I first started commenting on KZread videos. There was one Guy in the USA that had a wood burning heater made up from 44 gallon drums that actually burnt Twigs and tree branches from Forest fall trees much more efficiently than commercial wood heaters that burn full size logs and even produced various grades of motor oil type oils from his super heater invention. If I can find that video - from my youtube viewing history I'll post it for you here. No promises though as I have watched and commented on many hundreds IF not thousands of vids on a wide variety of subjects covered on numerous YT channels. 😉

A globe valve would be a much better choice for the drip mechanism than a gate valve. Globe valves are designed for throttling flow whereas gate valves are for either wide open or shut. Other than that, good video. Stay warm.

My wood-burning fireplace insert makes the same roaring sound by adjusting the bottom air gate.

Nice job 🔥🔥🔥😎👍

@soloman9151

Agreed -Yeah it's extremely cool. You could make a more permanent one from an older model car or truck brake drum as the oil tray as it already has a central hole and all you'd need would be a suitable piece of steel pipe the same diameter as the Central brake drum hub hole and drill holes in that steel pipe Seal off the top of the pipe by welding a piece of sheet metal to the top and fill in the brake drum wheel lug holes with suitable sized bolts and washers that could be sealed with heat resistant gasket goo or Muffler putty. all of which could be found at general hardware stores or auto places like Repco or Supercheap Auto stores etc.

The little diesel parking heaters use a "pulse" pump that delivers a known volume of fuel every time the 12V power is cycled. This could be a good replacement for your drip feed because it is easy to accurately control the fuel flow rate, and you don't need to rig up a gravity feed. It would be simple to build a circuit to supply adjustable pulses, turn off after an hour, behave like a thermostat.
