Guys" until today I was saying Top Lift Updraft and I have been pointed out that it actually TOP LIT....There are CG in the video which is hard to replace and hence this comment will be pinned on the top for everyone to notify. Thanks Steven Feil for pointing it
You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can stream all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my gf during the lockdown =)
Sir thanks for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are very informative. Please continue your social work like this. A person like me keep waiting always
I searched for stainless steel pots but couldn't find something workable. But thanks a lot for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

Hello my dear friend. Still a great idea. An affordable nice stove. I liked this project. Congratulations. good job. Thank you for sharing. See you. Stay healthy and happy. Big greetings.
Also don't add water to the stove but tip the content of the stove into a bucket of water. This wat you are not subjecting your TLUD to needless amounts of thermal stress which will make it last longer. TLUD's should be made from stainless steel and there that countless of suitable items available everywhere to make a cheap DIY TLUD stove.
I heat my house with homemade 5 gallon tlud stoves. They are lit inside a fairly airtight cabinet with a heat exchanger above. Outside air is ducted from my attached garage to maximize efficiency. On many occasions, I have added fuel as the stove is burning, which only slightly decreases the efficiency. I have also induced these with air and have melted over 500 pounds of aluminum, 10 pounds at a time.
I think the aluminum melting point is too low, Charcoal gets really hot when burning, easily above 600°C which is the melting point. I think the design is good, but you need to use a steel alloy ...
@@VIDEOEPPO I tried buidling such once and i used the cans for canned food in big sizes. I think i got them from the cantine of a hospital because they used great numbers of canned food they used bigger cans aswell. I had great results with that. But maybe even just folded metal sheets would work ...?
@@VIDEOEPPO Yes that sounds about right. I am curious to see how this turns out ! I thought about making one out of ceramic, a bit like roof tiles, but then again They are brittle and heavy ...
Is it true that the TLUD method gets to a higher temperature than the traditional charcoal method, and that this temperature difference is what males it biochar? Also, if you want to add it to your soil, is it a good idea to activate the 'char by soaking it in compost tea first?
This is just my opinion based on what I have known so far. The TLUD stove was burning with a blue flame midway through at its peak. Maybe this was the time it generates high heat. I haven't seen such a thing on Rocket stove or traditional stove. Soaking the char with compost tea seems to be a good idea too. Nonetheless, it should be added in low quantity and check for the plant growth. Soil is different everywhere. So it would be better to observe the phenomenon and find your own receipe.
The initial cost is low, therefore finding a fix to stop the melting is desired. How about a ceramic or heavy iron grate? I saw a tutorial on turning two 55 gal. drums into a smokeless trash burner that used this same design. Dry leaves make the best mulch, "IF" shredded well, 10 or 15 to 1.
Thanks for the inputs. This Project was me testing the idea of a TLUD. I later made another one with sheet mettals that were rolled into tubes. I have posted a separate video on that too. One more thing, leaves burn faster. I used wood chips left over from my projects and it burns much longer.(long enough to make rice)
Thanks for the comment. I think (from what I have learnt from internet) Cement and fire do not go well together. I made another version of this stove in steel and it work great. There is separate video on it
No man sodium hydroxide isn't the problem.. The alluminum metl at 700 C.. Your char when get a lot of oxygen can reach over 800 C.. This melt alluminum 😉
Thanks a lot for the tip. For me the whole idea of this stove was new. So I wanted to try it out with aluminum.(but didn't expect it would melt so easily). Based on these observation , I made another attempt with sheet steel...then another to fine tune the stove. I have posted both of those videos as well. Hope you watch them and give some inputs for myself and this community. Thanks again!
It depends on what size you make bro!. For me it cost less than 1000 rupees. including labor for rolling the sheet metal and cutting. Welding I did but if you get someone to do it, it may cost extra 200 rupees approx
What you mean by that? Its a venturi sistem and the smoke goes down through the bottom holes,mixes with air and its released to be burned on the top holes. The smoke does goes down and the tars in the smoke are filtered by the wood chips or pellets before it gets burned.
@@CarbonConscious Im amazed that you build these stoves and dont know how they work. Watch the smoke and you will see it goes down into the pellets.Break the fire to see the smoke coming from the top holes after it traveled through the pellets bed . The smoke coming from the top holes its what makes the flame and the only way to get smoke through those holes its to get the smoke down first and it gets out on the bottom holes ,filtered of tars.
@@mihaiilie8808 that really isn't how these work. The smoke travels up and at the secondary AIR holes there is preheated air coming out which mixes with the smoke and burns. How do you propose that the smoke travels down and defies the laws of physics in regards to density and the fact that hot gasses rise up. Also speaking about my own stoves, which use forced air, there is not the slightest chance that smoke travels down against the current of the forced air.

@Eddie Zachariah Definitely, been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D
Great video, as a teacher I can use this information and the entire video is great. The destruction is very educational
Glad it was helpful!
This is such an amazing demonstration! Thank you for making this video!
Glad it was helpful!
excellent video on the working of TLUD
Glad it was helpful!
It is a super & simple presentation. Good.
Thank you so much 🙂

So nice of you, I will try my best. Thanks for encouraging
Very good demo. Look for stainless pots, I think that will handle the heat.

Thank you friend. I watched your recent video too. Good one.
@@VIDEOEPPO You're welcome. Thank you for watching. loyal friend. big greetings. Yours truly.
Before it even burned I thought aluminum isn't a good choice! Nice biochar though. I call these either twig stoves or wood gasifier stoves.
Right on!

Yup... I wanted to. But then I didn't find the right size. The ones available were Stainless steel. I think I need to use that

@@jonabub large tin cans should work I guess. My next plan is to try it with one mm sheet metal

That's so nice of you. Thank you so much
Very good video. Thank you sir.
You are most welcome
You should use inner chamber built by cement and outer chamber could be aluminium.
Thanks for the comment. I think (from what I have learnt from internet) Cement and fire do not go well together. I made another version of this stove in steel and it work great. There is separate video on it
The video it's perfect.. But when you citate "alluminum" i know the problem begin 😅 I try a lot with alluminum can and everytime this melt very easy 🔥

@@VIDEOEPPO Yes..i see both video :D
Name the tool you used for punching.
It's a center punch
@@VIDEOEPPO thank uou
Invicti.in
we can get readymade stove using this technology..
Hi nice video but is this smokeless
I would highly suggest on using stainless steel instead of aluminum. Stainless steel is stronger.
I made another version with sheet metal. It's come out good. There is a video on that update as well. Thanks for stopping by
Hid, did you measure the temperature? I wonder if the aluminum was aboit to melt!
yeah this was on ly for a test. But I am sure the aluminium melted because of heat. These are really cheap utensils , about 1mm in thickness only
@@VIDEOEPPO Thanks
How Mach mani bro

👌👌👌
Bro pl see invicti wood stove products and give feedback
How to make model rocket tamil please
bro, I can make one...but where to fly it?I could be arrested for that...LOL ....laws in India are very different.
But it's an idea I have been wanting to try.
Why does the location says United States
I stored it that way for international audience
Hi
Wood gas doesn't release through the bottom holes my friend ;)
Yup, figured that out lately. And you tip on not subjecting the stove to thermal stress is totally valid. Will surely follow that
What you mean by that? Its a venturi sistem and the smoke goes down through the bottom holes,mixes with air and its released to be burned on the top holes.
The smoke does goes down and the tars in the smoke are filtered by the wood chips or pellets before it gets burned.
@@mihaiilie8808 that is not what happens in these stoves...
@@CarbonConscious Im amazed that you build these stoves and dont know how they work.
Watch the smoke and you will see it goes down into the pellets.Break the fire to see the smoke coming from the top holes after it traveled through the pellets bed .
The smoke coming from the top holes its what makes the flame and the only way to get smoke through those holes its to get the smoke down first and it gets out on the bottom holes ,filtered of tars.
@@mihaiilie8808 that really isn't how these work. The smoke travels up and at the secondary AIR holes there is preheated air coming out which mixes with the smoke and burns.
How do you propose that the smoke travels down and defies the laws of physics in regards to density and the fact that hot gasses rise up.
Also speaking about my own stoves, which use forced air, there is not the slightest chance that smoke travels down against the current of the forced air.
Rip ears
Is it the audio level or me blabbering?
Top LIT, not lift.
Oh my god! What a blunder I have made!!!
Thanks for pointing out. I have make so make changes now
