Not my area of expertise in engineering (non compressible liquids are fun, compressible gases are scary to me), but I'd hazard a guess and say you're air velocity is too high. You want to increase your volumetric flow rate to get more oxygen, but at the same time you don't want to increase velocity much at all. You're new fan is pushing more air, but without a change in area, it's got to go faster through the pipe. Increase the area (larger pipe size) and you'll get the same volume/time but it doesn't have to move as fast and it might not extinguish your flame. That being said, without changing the nozzles in the forge, I'm not sure how you'd get a lower velocity entering the forge, if the nozzles don't change either. Maybe it's a pressure thing? Again, gases aren't my thing. I barely had a handle on my fluids class and we only looked at water and oil.

I think you hit the nail. Going from a 4' pump discharge to a 2 1/2" or 3" steel pipe, he has made his own venturi which is what you said. He has speeded up the air which gives more pressure. Alec, if you have read this far, take off all the iron pipe and use 4' pvc or metal furnace pipe from the blower to the forge. If still too much air, install a 4' slide gate from a dust collection system to regulate the amount of air.

I'm loving it being back to seeing you work. It was starting to get boring on the channel but the lock down has got you being imaginative and creative again. Keep up the good work :)

Nice work with Yogo! And thanks for sharing. It's great to see some good dog training strategies shared. Few people probably take that level of consideration for their dogs If you get bored, you should sew a treat pouch you can wear on your hip for training. Maybe even use leather.

You’re brilliant with that pretty pupper, well done. How people treat animals usually reflects their personality

Brings back memories from when I first subscribed. Kinda miss the old workshop. Your amazing with your doggo.

Finally some classic alec video! Still in frame shots of simple forging. 100%better than what we have been watching the 6 months or so.

In the next episode, Alec teaches Yogo how to press the treadle when he wants to use the power hammer. I was going to suggest teaching her how to hand sand, but then Will would be out of a job.

With all the static holds, heavy clumps of steel, hammering and all in all general work; I bet Alec has one helluva handshake.

You need to add a little of Bernoulli's principle to the forge. When it comes into the forge widen the pipe (7 degrees would be optimal) to slow down the air flow but you will still have the same mass of air. It will allow the air and gas to mix better to give you a better flame.

The issue with the forge/ new blower might be that the air is moving too fast, and basically blowing the fire out. That would explain the unstable fire, the fire being shot out against the far wall, and also why only half the brick is burning, the gas/air gets pushed out the front before it has a chance to spread out, or potentially the Bernoulli effect creating a vacuum and pulling air in through the other holes.

yep, looks like your pipe for the air is too small in diameter and the resulting air velocity is too high.

To increase mixing you may stick something in the pipe to create turbulence , some sort of blade/propeller. Good Luck

@consistency 14 why are you mad? He's struggling with a fluid dynamics/ chemical reaction problem. Given the relatively high velocity of air/gas, and the relatively low pressure, it's very possible that the Bernoulli principle is causing some of the issues, especially when he said it's not how he expected it to look, which means that something unintuitive is going on. If you think I'm showing off by saying "Bernoulli principle", that's not the case, I'm using the name of a phenomenon to reference that very important but sometimes counter-intuitive phenomenon.

Nice to see Alec go back to his old youtube style, talk a little, show the work, and make tools.

Glad to see that haphazardly duct-taping air intakes is a universal blacksmith thing

Alec, My two cents worth: It appears that the piping size is correct since it is what came with the burner. So, calling on my experiences with cooking ovens and industrial boilers, it sure looks to me like your gas pressure is low and cannot overcome the increased static pressure in the piping to the burner. This back pressure is caused by the burner holes themselves and not the piping leading to the burner. A higher pressure blower only makes this worse. Can you increase the gas pressure at the gas regulator to try this theory out?

@Finwolven

4 жыл бұрын

It did really look like the fuel/air mix was way too lean, and natural gas lines aren't really that high pressure, so it could well be the air pressure in the pipe gets high enough to basically shut off most of the gas flow. But also, if it seems the ribbon burner only burns partially, it could also be clogged (which would exacerbate the issue.

would that mean a bigger pipe with slower air would make it even worse? (fast air = less pressure, right?)

@Taunus-Tim

Finally someone with the correct answer. As an engineer I can assure you, that the problem is the ribbon burner itself. Because natural gas has such a low pressure you have to lower the overall resistance for the airflow. Beginning at the WORST component in terms of resistance. And that is the matrix of the ribbon burner! Enlarge these and you'll get more volume with the right mix. Problem solved!

Can we get some more raw forging noises. That section with the noise of the hammer and steel I loved it.

Is it possible that at your altitude, an oxygen separator feeding into the intake of the fan would be more useful than increasing the overall volume of air getting in...at least beyond a certain point? Recognising of course that at the moment sourcing an oxygen separator for a non-medical purpose might not be the most prudent...

The kindness shown in training the puppers to wear protective gear is wonderful
