- DIY Cold Fire
Made with Ultrasonic mister and lights
Parts list:
$ 10 - Acrylic box with cover, "Doll Exhibit Box" # DB-17 from "The Container Store"
$ 10 - Ultrasonic mist maker/fogger with 24Volt transformer Jkeer #BWE-45 Ebay USA "kunkunh2009"
$ 30 - Xenon under cabinet puck lights from Lowes with 12 Volt transformer Ulitech #0366529
one sheet plexiglass 12" x 10" $5
Power strip $5
Amber colored Cello wrap from A.C. Moore $4
Super glue $1
Miscelanious:
Computer fan from video card 12 Volt
5 volt DC transformer to run fan
sheet metal 10" x 16"
pine 2" x 4" x10"
This is my first attempt: neither complete nor refined. The box is much taller than needed, even without an external water supply.
The lights must be bright enough to counter ambient (white) light in room. They also MUST provide enough heat to warm mist so that it will rise in a flame-like fashion. Insufficient heat results in a steam like appearence. I used lights with 12 volt transformer to have all items near water as low voltage as possible.
The fan power should be very low, just enough to move mist to heated area. Even my small 12 volt fan with a 5 volt power supply is far to much.
The flame color is provided by amber filters. The material must withstand the high temperateres near the bulbs. I will be looking for glass or plexiglass for final build and will replace the clear plexi used here with colored. Again with ambient room light present I would use dark amber.

I really don't know why people are so afraid to talk on these videos to explain just what to do!!!!!
Great explanation of the materials used.. I can say it was a lot better not saying a word, as opposed, to some people who think adding annoying music is the ticket to making a great youtube video.
If the video shows a moment of manufacturing method in general, thank you for the effort
Awesome video. these are now becoming mainstream, thinking of building one with a massive steamer being fed through a PVC tube to extend the flame. have u done any updates?
Dont know where you are from. But in Uk The UK began phasing out the sale of higher-energy halogen lightbulbs in 2018. Halogen still can get but be last of stock. All those that thinking making, LED`s??
10w hologen? thought need least 50w Gu10`s or Mr16`s?
Ok pero de dónde viene el humo.
I was thinking of doing the same thing!!!
I have found a glass box but am looking for a VERY small fan, just enough to start an up draft. When I find all the right parts I'll build version 2. The final plan is to put it into a coffee table and might use stones rather than wood.
Good luck and I'd love to hear as you progress.
The fire effect is very convincing. Do you intend to refine this further and add more updates?
Yes. I will write updates on any progress and give full details. But, I have yet to track down what I think would be the optimal parts.
@@OldBenOne hi! Do you have updated tutorials? I'd love to make my own mist fireplace diy😊
@@romellbroom2216 The biggest holdup is maintaining a small gap above the water level so the mist is forced out without a lot of 'empty' air from the fan. That would require either a feed valve or using an inverted bottle.
@@OldBenOne thank you a lot Ben! :) I'll keep doing a research to try to get a nice result. Any clue or advice is welcomed 😊
cool
You can see that it is done in a really similar way in off-the-shelf products: czcams.com/video/nzdMyOPGXNM/video.html or even better explained in this video czcams.com/video/ezRxb30qbQ4/video.html They are using halogen bulbs which will product light and most importantly heat to create a draft. Except yours is probably much cheaper.
Why don't you just get a humidifier that blows out a mist. Then you can attach a hose and at the end of the hose plug it up. And put a few holes at the end of the hose and place the hose behind the log and then add your LED strip behind the logs.
Adding a hose to a mister just makes a fogger. If that worked we could make giant artificial fires, but the fogger versions lack the laminar flow that simulates the flame shape. The trick to that seems to be heating the mist so it rises naturally. Someone with skill in fabrication and lots of time could probably succeed.
Then you won't have this big huge container of water underneath your log
Briliant!!! Does it matter the wattage? What is the wattage on your bulbs?
It's a set of five 10 watt under cabinet Halogen lights.
They produce the illumination and heat the vapor to make it rise properly.
Looks more like smoldering fumes than a real flame.
How many heads are on the mist maker? Just one?
Yes.
why don't you just use a very small tabletop humidifier
It uses the same ultrasonic mister, so you could as long as you can add a duct to spread and heat the mist.
смешал прям все в кучу, смысл работы походу не Х не понял. И винт сунул и лампочки греют🤦 Только ботинка сверху не хватает
How strong of a vaporizer are you using for this?
+Katja Tsychkova The vapor is provided by an Ebay purchased "Ultrasonic Mister" Just type that in and make sure to get one with it's power supply. There is a tricky balance with the amount of mist, air provided by fan along with the amount of updraft and mist heating provided by the lights. If I put the effort into another I will probably go for a wall mount, coffee table or portable version.

Kostet aber ne Menge Strom,oder?
The mist must be heated to rise up. The lights need to be at least 100 Watts.
Explain what the bloody hell you are doing! Downvoted.
