If you don't get dizzy or pass out, then the air is fine. Trust me, I've lived among many chemical plants here on the Houston Ship Channel for over 57 years, and the second head growing from my neck gives me someone to talk to. It's great to see you making content again Joel, and I hope everything is going good for you.

I’m glad that I found your channel, I’ve learned a lot watching your demonstrations!

The hot water heater sounds pretty exciting!

I love this project.  It is mesmerizing staring at the flame.

Thanks for the update. Nothing like making trash to treasure. As always looking forward to your next video.

You have now seen for yourself how amazingly well it works when you get it right. Now comes the harder part of making it reliable and safe to heat indoors . Keep in mind simple things always work best and use the power of heat rising to help simplify your ideas

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for the informative video.

While the CO is within acceptable limits, in a tight building the concentration of CO can and will cycle up over time.  I have personal experience with this.  I lived in a cargo trailer in a desert at a jobsite for 18 months.  I used a small 4k/9k BTU Buddy heater in the winters.  After about 6 hours, my CO monitor would alarm.  I added a 5" USB powered fan to ventilate my trailer and the CO remained at 0 ppm throughout the night.

In your building, I think you have more than adequate natural ventilation.

If you want to place your drip tube lower in the burn pot, use copper tubing and a brass tubing x NPT compression fitting.  Drill the stop out of the fitting and push the tubing through the fitting to the desired height.

Hi Joel,
Nice to see you back now that the yard equipment maintenance season is over.  I hope it was productive enough to make ends meet for the year!

I have seen some builds of metal melting and smelting furnaces and they seem to always have the air injected on one side pointing sideways so that it causes the air to swirl around the chamber.  I suspect that this causes a more even burn with no cold spots?  Of course in these furnaces, there is a crucible in the center for the smelting/refining or melting of metal.  On your next build you might try injecting air in this manner and see how it changes the combustion....

Cheers from Oregon,

Would be interesting to make one with round pipe, and angled holes in the same direction. So the air flow would form a vortex in the chamber. Also would be interesting to weld a large diameter pipe hanging down a few inches inward on the inner edge of the baffle. That would keep the flames spinning along the wall.

Did a really nice job.😊😊

Nice project

Nice to hear you have a deal with Vevor for some projects! I just bought my 3rd Vevor heater, just in case anything goes wrong with the one heating my livingroom so I can swap it out quickly (while I wait for the parts to arrive).
Looking forward to the project with the heating coil!

To prevent flame out when the water drips in it, use a glass fibre wick (like som exhaust bandage/wraps those that is like 4cm wide) and have it sticking up in the center

Nice looking axe.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Glad you decided to give one of these a go, try making one that is longer and thinner, your lower air jets should be very restrictive to the air and slowly adding more air as it gets to the top,  it creates rich zone, then one with and lots of CO and that is subsequently burnt  giving very clean combustion with almost no soot.

Also I've seen videos where they leave the used oil in an adjacent room or outside then you don't have to keep adjusting the oil flow as it warms up and gets thinner...just my 2cents and keep up the great work!!❤ take care buddy

awesome

It would be very cool if you could have interchangeable blower tips! Like have it so that you can thread on different ends with different holes drilled in different patterns, to play with the flame pattern. I don't know if that would even be possible?

Very cool build man! I could easily spend a lot of hours staring at that flame! Very cool little spot you guys have built!
