Always happy to hear from you! Your comments, shares and all other interactions are very welcome.
Thanks for watching! - Jak na to + styl
Beautiful and I love the addition of the little cap for lighting!
The method you use to make the loop in copper without kinking is ingenious - thanks!
Great job here,clear simple instructions, the best Ive seen. Many thanks
I like your demonstration better than others I've seen. So great! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you and welcome
I made one. I didn't have 1/4" soft copper but I did have 1/4" aluminum pilot tubing so I used that and it worked fine.
I like the idea and this takes me back about 80 years when my own mother used paraffin which was evaporated in this manner, Also the old blow lamps had such an evaporator, I am so surprised that the flame is rather " carbonising flame" and it looks a little sooty. A small er hole would have resulted in a neutral flame, I guess. Congratulations for the workmanship, looking at the manner those hands were curling that copper, well it looks that those hands are rather experienced in handling gently the materials of a craftsman, Well done.
Well now that's a trip. The thumbnail popped up in my suggested feed, and I thought, 'well this looks interesting,' and then you get to the part where you have the materials on the table and I see copper tubing made where my dad works!
How small the world sometimes is :D
Best example I've seen so far. Thanks!
Cool idea, and it's art.
It's burning a bit too orange and the flame is too tall for a practical camping stove/burner,
but you still get a thumbs up!
Great information and instructions that are clear and concise. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and expertise with us.
+Michelle Brown thank you and welcome
Best version of this build video I've seen yet
That's a clever idea thanks for sharing mate.
I'd use ethanol, then you don't have that smell that comes prom isopropanol, or mix it. 2/3 iso and 1/3 ethanol, this also get's rid of the smell. (And makes a nicer flame, too.)
Какой умница!!! Очень хорошая идея , спасибо...
At 1:37 this is the time you can get your tiny drill hole to drill straight into the tube before you compress it . makes the hole vertical instead of offside.
Good Idea.
What size whole
@@bamagregv 1/16 is the smallest I have and it works but you gotta be careful as it tends to bend . The problem remains that the hole has to be pointing up into the tubes above to get the vaporization effect to work .
Thank you.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing your build :)
On trumpets they use ice. And additive to make ice doft and slushy. But don’t remember the rest, if they heated quickly or just bended😊 i’m going to make a couple of those. I just need to find desired jars and stuff😊
Would put the wicks in the copper tubing before putting the copper in the cap. be easier to install. nice video. building better the destroying! On bending the tubes? where you bought your copper tubing and tube cutter, they sell different size "M" type soft copper benders?? a set in the states runs about 20 bucks. why waste the salt when sild on a bender and be done in one minute.
Bloody awesome video mate¡ thanks heaps. I am gonna go off and make one for when shtf!!!!!!!?
Por fin dí con una explicación clara de cómo hacer esta estufa. Muchas gracias buen trabajo.
😮 wow amazing and simple 👌!!!
Good job, thanks
Thank you bad ass nice to learn thanks again
Great video. I do have a question though. How will this stove work without using the capful of alcohol directly under the copper tubing...without the cap completely? If u us a torch to heat the tubing until vaporization begins, will it still burn until it runs out of fuel? I ask because I made one using a different video that didn’t use the cap, and mine burns for about 5 minutes before it just goes out. Maybe my wick isn’t far enough up the tube or the 2 holes the copper tube goes through on the jars lid isn’t sealed properly. Any ideas?
Maybe you could add a valve or something in the alcohol pipe to regulate flame output, i tried different things with empty shells from 9mm, .45 and 7.62, filled with acetone, they work kind of the same princip but less effective XD, but the less aceton was in them "the cooler" the flame got
Could you put a metal mesh in the flame to act as a radiant space heater? Or would that make too much carbon monoxide?
Nice, you did a great job on these. I like that lager jar, the ones I had on hand were the small mason jars, when I tried the full size one it would not build up enough pressure to get the stove going. You did great!
+Iridium242 hey Iridium i just watched you're video great job and thank you
thanks!
What size hole needs to be drilled in the tube? The video only stated 'smallest' drill bit.
I love it !!
Tilt the rounded copper tubing at horizontal level and drill as many holes. Believe this will enhance the heat energy of the copper stove since the flame is scattered at a wider area.
do you have a video link that shows what you are talking about?
What is the tool used to cut the copper tubing ? Can I use kerosene ? And will kerosene burn longer ?
exelente video saludos desde sinaloa mexico
Well done video for an item that can actually be useful in an emergency situation.
Excellent and to the point!
Thank you!
Thank you samo for the detailed illustration. I guess the flame heats the air so that the alcohol gets sucked and filled the pipe?
Thank you yes exactly
Pretty cool invention buddy! Good video!
Great video, nice little stoves, and I like your building techniques. I like using a pipe cap for starting alcohol. I also like the salt for tubing bending. I would like to try freezing water like for making trumpets, and compare the 2 techniques. What are your thoughts on using other fuels like E85? Can these stoves adapt to different fuels without having different sized ports? Liked and subscribed.
+Buddy Clem
Thank you i only tried it with 99%alcohol
Cause it dosent make a lot of smoke when it burns
I will try and get back to you
There is a tool for working with soft copper called a hand bender... I never tried to bend a full circle, but I'm pretty sure it can be done
Ruthless Cardigan or fill tube with fine sand..also use a spring that will just barley slide over...both will prevent from kinking and pinching
If the tube only went into the jar once instead of twice, you could put a valve inline and control the flame output.
Can you use lamp oil or Olive oil in that too?
Preheat the copper tube with the flame beforehand, then it will be softer to bend :)
very thanks
Great job as usual!
+Katy Cand thx katy😀
I think you could just solder copper to tin instead of using the silicone.
Excellent, thank you very much
You are welcome!
for 3 hrs is great!!
You can also use sand if you don't have salt or you can use water (just seal end thoroughly ). I use JB We
D to seal the copper tubing to the lid.
2010joen ... Yes, I noticed that he drilled a very tiny hole, possibly 1/16”. Maybe start with very small diameter drills, test run the stove, and increase drill size, retest, etc.. Until a blue flame is achieved. Since the tube is only 1/4”, possibly a 1/8” diameter hole is too large, and drilling two, or even three much smaller holes in a row would create a broader flame. To what advantage, I’m not sure, but like you mentioned, experimenting might get the desired blue flame.
Salt dissolves. Easy removal. Derp. Water leaks. Simple. Not complicated
Muito bom !👍👍👍👍👍👍
It would help your flame burn blue if you used a #60 to #65 drill bit. That is .0400" to .0360" diameters respectfully. Your drilled coil hole is too big thus a yellow flame and you will use less fuel. Most craft shops carry the bits.
Molon Lobe Satcatcher he used salt onside tubes : those the yelowish flamme !
He emptied the salt out after bending the tubes. Supposedly no salt remained. The yellow flame was caused by the ignition rising well above the vapor exit hole and also turbulence mixing air with the burn. I’m thinking a much smaller hole is the way to start the experiment then increase the size until a hot blue flame is achieved. Also, I would separate the upper coils a bit so the flame would be between them, not striking them directly which creates turbulence in the burn. Even though this is a simple design, there are several variables that need to be experimented with.
very good, I love it
Wow, genius idea; I love it! Could I make a bigger one like use an 8oz - 16oz mason jar with bigger copper tubing to make stronger fire?
I was thinking the same thing.......
perfect for my college situation
It will work with denatured alcohol?
Agradeço o vídeo! 👍✌
Excellent video, I'm definitely going to make one of these. Have you thought of pulling the wick through the pipe before you bend it ? You could use a coat hanger to do it, and it would probably make the pipe less likely to crimp.
Thank you
the wick wont protect the pipe from getting kinked cause it’s not round shaped and it must be placed after bending the pipe so you can tell exactly where it is cause if you noticed the wick dosent go through the whole pipe only on both ends have fun and please be safe
Got it!
Can u add cheap cooking oil or something into d alcohol jar? How about surround d alcohol jar with a bowl of water just in case? Thanku
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God bless you.
Thank you
I guess your stove is better than my coleman stove definitively damaged after a one week camp on the beach. and it's cheaper ! THANK YOU
Amazing ❤
Can we use kerosene instead of alcohol? Because its is far cheaper than alcohol.
Smallest drillbit. How small where the one you used
Is there any way to control the flame.
Very cool video
great, your projects are always beautiful and well made! Hello Friend
+Work Space thank you
Btw keep up the good work great channel you got there
I will do my best and take example from you :)
How did you attach or glue the copper cap o to the mason jar lid?
La cuerda es de algodon o de que otro material?
Is the copper "thimble" siliconed to the jar lid ? You know, the copper cap that you first put alcohol in to get it started. Thanks
I only used silicone around the copper tube
👍.i like it .
Thanks
Easier to bend copper if you anneal it first by heating to red hot and plunging into cold water.
Easier to bend yes, less prone to kinking, no. But yeah, I see your point. Just clarifying for possible others.
thanks 😄😄😄😄
Cool !
Exelent...!🇧🇷👍🇧🇷
i love it thanks
+osama kemoo
Thank you
Genius!
Sensacional !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great idea , AND, I have all the items to build me one, maybe two. Does it produce enough heat though?
What is "enough heat" exactly?
Where did you get the latern wick? Cdn tire? What size is your 'smallest drill bit"?
+Mech-Eng yes canadien tire camping section and i used a 1/16 size drill bit
Very nice...
Eu não entendi o seu inglês, mais seu trabalho tá ótimo 👍👍👍
If I had a much bigger container/jar could you use 2 or 3 coils on the same lie to get 3 flames and more heat?
+TheJunkyardgenius
I haven’t tried it yet with more than 1 coil
Hola muy buen vídeo, una pregunta: ¿se podría hacer lo mismo pero con gasolina?
La gasolina es contaminante y produce monoxido de carbono. No es buena para cocinar. Ademas es muy inestable.
Super
👍👍👍👍buen video
*THIS IS COOL.*
Thats only good while the copper straw is still new after its all burned up - makes it hard for the flame to maintain not quenchen
Parabéns👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Will that stove work using kerosene?
eu nao entendi seu trabalho, mas seu ingles ta otimo.👍
Mantap

Is there a reason why you make the top so tight? If you leave a gap between the coils then the flame could go through.
It needs the heat from the flame to expand the vapor as it is drawn towards the burn hole.
put wick before bending. flame is oxygen deficient
would using a soldering iron work better to seal the pipe and the lid instead of silicone?
If the lid was copper, or brass, I would certainly try to solder the tubes. However the lid may be steel or aluminum. If steel, it would be a difficult soldering job, but if aluminum, it would be impossible.
Its about a simple process. Simple cheap. No skill.

What is safe fuel for indoor? Please show us how to make the log stand please! I am needing this to use in my home for emegency!.I am very thankful!! Grace
be sure to have good ventilation if burning indoors. alcohol should be safe. I hope everything is okay for you.
@@TooLitForAnInterview 'thanks so very much! i can not get everclear where i live. I do however have vodka b c i use it for herbal tinctures. I think your stoves are so innovative!Great job and thanks again, grace
Grace Brunelle alcohol is a safe fuel. Burns clean
Tjakepzzz 👌 👍 Cool
Don't you need a small vent in the jar to prevent vacuum from stopping the fuel flow as the level burns down?
The alcohol creates a positive pressure as it vaporizes, so there is no need to have a vent. In fact, having a vent would prevent it from working properly. The heated tube forces the alcohol to vaporize quicker, which is why this design is known as an alcohol jet stove.
rápido e fácil de fazer e transportar serve tbm de lamparina muito bom .
nice work . i have a question can we use spirit instead of alcohol?
+abdullah tahir
I haven't tried it yet
abdullah tahir spirit is actually methanol. The other name is methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, etc.
V nice 👍
Молодец.
