Yes, I agree. Also, constrain the hot gasses to run only near the metal surfaces, filling the flue with ceramic fire brick down the center line. Hole saws can make discs of ceramic foam that you can string on all-thread or tubing. If you run the tubing inside, then stretch out the coil slightly, and expose it to hot flue air inside and out, top and bottom. No need to press tight against the flue interior; actually undesirable. I recommend stainless steel tubing instead of copper tubing for greatest longevity, but copper conducts far better.

Since it’s water filled , you could put the coil inside the rocket stove pipe? As long as it is always full when you operate it, it would not burn out the pipes . It might heat twice as fast? Clean off soot with a wire brush once in no a.while.

@imconsequetau5275

Ай бұрын

If placed inside the hot flue gas, stretch out the coil so it is loose, heated on all sides. Dissimilar metals may cause corrosion, so avoid direct contact by using insulating couplings and stand-offs. Hot flue gas rushing up the center is totally wasted. Plug up the center area with a cylinder of firebrick or use closed-off metal tubing.

You should save all of your glass for one or two huge borosilicate storage containers that are structurally enhanced. This will keep water safe to drink and bathe with even if stored up high in direct sunlight away from anything that could damage it. (like kids and trees) I would suggest keeping an isolated manual waterpump, to prevent anything from getting contaminated with grease or lead like you could with an electric pump. But hey at least you can keep adding copper by sweating silver in joints if you destroy the bucket idea and build a funnel hopper feeding a worm like this. Could be a great sterilization system if kept in pure copper. Just pour water through and the isolated fire won't burn up your copper and you pour into a glass collection jar over and over until the water boils into steam and then condenses into pure water with zero living bacteria. The copper/borosilicate system shouldnt poison you

A fluid is anything that takes the shape of it's container. All gasses and all liquids are both fluids. The swirling of water inside a pot before it boils is convection.

This isn't some magical free energy crap. Rocket stoves come in many shapes and sizes, and this one looks very well done. They're established tech, as is convection heating using a heat exchanger like the copper tubing shown here. You simply need to elevate the bucket and colder water naturally falls out the bottom to replace the heated water rising in the tubing. No offence, but if your experience is limited to stuff that plugs into the wall, maybe just cast about ye olde interwebbe for some further information before dissing stuff. The same copper tubing connected to the same (elevated) bucket and enclosed in a glass-covered box painted black and pointed at the sun will also do an impressive job of heating water, but it won't be as fast as this. There was a time in California (before oil changed everything) when you wouldn't dream of buying a house that didn't have a solar water heating system.

great job! thanks from Brazil

Good job !!! ♥️💪👍

Great idea

Mate amazing, honestly. If you can adapt the rocket stove to have a skillet sit on top so you can get two uses out of the same fuel, cooking and heating water then you are on to a winner. Not to mention greener too. I am down.!

pretty cool setup up. 2 ways I can see improving this: (1) your thermal interface between the coil and the tube needs to be improved. it is a function of surface area and the conductance of the interface. Because the tube is round you're only touching as a single point (think circle & tangent lline). find a thermal interface foam. (2) you're losing heat on the tube going out to the bucket. Add some insulation.

This is ideally not how a rocket stove should function. The high efficiencies of the stove come from super high combustion temps at the riser/firebox area. For best results, insulate the riser, connect another sideways pipe to the stove, and run the copper directly inside of it. End it with an elbow that exhausts upwards.

Thanks for supporting advance auto parts sir, we appreciate your business.

Look how neatly it's built

Very cool!

I did this in 02’ with large fires to heat the family pool. I was 12. Glad to see a reiteration. Most people don’t think to do types of things like that for thermal btu heating value.

That's brilliant.

Would it be a bit more efficient if all the fire had to brush past copper pipe on its way up? Like a “coiled coil” going up inside the chimney leaving inch wide gaps for air to pass. Also fire stone insulation on the outside of the chimney would increase efficiency.

Very good! Using the laws of thermodynamics to your benefit and also allowing for a max coolness factor!

Great idea!

Yes, the principal is easy. Hot water rises, and cold water goes down . We had our central heating going that way and our hot water cilinder too . All on gravity feed . But you have to lay the pipes in a particular way , and the pipe has to be thicker . Made a boiler in our wood stove. Done many years of service. We had no electricity at that time .

Just put water in metal bucket and start fire under the bucket, no electricity needed and much faster and safer. Old is gold.

You're doing it the HARD way! Merely run a single length of 1/2" soft copper up the chimney / firebox INSIDE and attach the bottom hose to the lower end of the copper tubing, and the upper hose to the top end of the copper tubing. This will cause it to thermosiphon LICKITY-SPLIT. You'll have screaming hot water in no time. I do exactly the same on a 50-gallon tank on my homestead in Texas, fueling it with Oak wood pellets.

This seams like it could be a good idea to help heat the floor during winter months. If able to be incorporated to an existing wood stove. Very interesting good share!❤

Love it man

Like I said earlier it's the smartest design I've seen on KZread yet!!!!

I had an intention to add a system to my would stove. However I was going to use a radiator. But now I can use a bucket instead and eliminate the pump. It would be good instead of waking up at night and add wood.

Use 1/4" copper and it will be much more efficient. I built my first wood burning water heater decades ago. You can increase efficiency by using smaller tubing an just making it longer . You'll also get an increase if you add insulation around the outside of the copper. Just understand that if you do all that it will get so hot so fast it will melt through the rubber hose and plastic bucket. You'll get water coming out closer to 200°f . If you slow the water flow input it will come out as steam at 220° or higher.

That is pretty sick

Excellent work. Just by your thermometer, I knew you were legit.

this is awesome!!!!

@PatrickRemington

10 күн бұрын

Thank you!

If you make another one you should solder the copper tubing to the steel, if you get enough solder between the joints and fully bond them (very possible with good surface prep and use of flux) the water in the tubing will wick enough heat from it to prevent it from melting, though you may want to get some kind of thermoelectric powered pump to get a little extra circulation going to ensure enough heat transfer. If all that tubing was soldered to the chimney tube you would probably triple the boil speed, as it sits there is _very_ little thermal transfer between the steel chimney tube and copper coil. What would _really_ work well is putting the coil inside the chimney, though I'm sure there would be some longevity issues, I doubt the copper could take that kind of heat for long, oxidation would become a problem. Also, wrap that thing in glass wool, lots of wasted heat is radiating off the coil.

Well done mate

This is called natural circulation. Gravity feeds water to the coil from the bottom and as it heats it rises and flows back to the bucket via the top tube. if you increase the efficiency by sleeving the coil and insulating the bucket (or other tank) you will turn this from a hot water heater to a steam generator. If you turn the bucket into a pressure vessel you can then use the steam to propel a prime mover / electrical generator set up. electricity from a wood burning rocket stove would be pretty cool!

Impressive!

Great idea! Subbed❤

Thats pretty cool .

Beautiful, thank you, peace

Add the center out of a gas hot water tank flue pipe. The baffles will slow the heat escape and provide more heat transfer to the copper. Just slowing down the exhaust a little will help efficiency
