There’s no way this is 200 % efficacy, first thing you increasing the back pressure on “death gas” which is soooo bloody dangerous, also increasing back pressure reduces efficacy

What are these filters? What material should be inside.

Interesting video mate, why do you have the gas going against the flow through the filters and not following the arrows. Cheers Graham

Very good video s. Learn alot from you guys. Take care from Ontario. ❤❤

Hi there Did see it work 👎👎👎👎👎👎🇺🇸

That's a terrible soundtrack!

Could use a coil of any metallic tubing for the radiator and small fan to push air past it. Or the coil in a box and push output air from heater. Or the heat exchanger from a home furnace.

That is not a 200 percent efficiency at all. The exhaust gas can only heat a small section of your radiator, the bottom remains cold, indicating the hot exhaust gas flow is small. Yes, you are recovering a little more heat, but certainly not the amount you hoped for. To achieve a 100 percent increase over the 5 kW initial output would require another 5kW of exhaust heat, they do not waste this amount ever.

I wonder if you can recirculate room air to heat through your cast iron radiator. I mean holding the heat yes. However removing the heat into the room using other than natural convection.

Well, look what the algorithm offered up. In case you read comments from older videos, you should have at least one off-sight cold-storage drive, one on-sight, and a couple of warm-storage drives, and the working drive where nothing is stored. VOE. ;)

Good idea but what happens when its all clogged up

I liked (not "looked"... edited) watching you create this most handy device. My pasture is filled with river rock & our gophers & voles keep pushing them to the surface. I've only got a few undamaged windows left. Lol. It would have been more enjoyable for me without the music or maybe just set at a lower volume, because I struggled to hear & understand you many times throughout the video... just my opinion. Your implement definitely turned out beautiful. Very nice skills & finish work! I hope you're enjoying easier potato pickins.

what if you put a smaller radiator , like small car or motor bike boxed it up and made ducting so heater outlet blows through it duct ==< rad >== duct= =heater if that makes sense

You made a fantastic thing! Enjoyed watching

What a pointless video.

The set up in my conservatory is much the same ,with the exaust going through a normal radiator ,very little heat wasted . I dont know why most folks put the heaters on the outside,

Where is the 200% more efficient time stamp?

...meaning, if you can fit a kettle you will have hot water... nice one..

Hi there, I am very interested in this improvement. Now after 4 months, I would love to know, did you alter anything or is it running fine as is? Many thanks and Greeting from Ireland.

Get a carbon monoxide detector in the space

Battery under exhaust outlet , lot of heat generated there

Thanks! I love it

if anyone wants a cheap super simple way to extract heat from the exhaust, just buy a pack of scotch bright stainless steel scrubbers. You can expand them from the middle and slip them onto the exhaust pipe. They have a ton of surface area and conduct heat from the pipe really well. they work pretty well already by passive heating, but you can add a fan to help a little. You can buy a 16 pack for $10. Thats all you need.

I volunteer to drive the tractor.

And how it works...😢

awesome idea

I'm curious about where you got the fire box.

What’s your address I’d love to go visit this summer I have a small camping trailer I could camp close to your place thanks again write to me in private

That’s a great idea réal happy thanks

Can make me couple stone and 1 bushing

The one fault with the system is that the heater and exhaust pipe is below the entrance to the radiator creating a trap for moisture

Muy bueno, pero me gustaría poder construir uno igual en mi país (Panama), y faltan las medidas para hacerlo.... muchas gracias

The back pressure on the exhaust could cause problems. You need to keep a check on the heater. .

If the heat tape was temporary. What are you using now to connect the end of the exhaust to the radiator piping?

Please mute the radio in the background cant hear anything you say. Bye

If there's something you don't want to do with a combustion heater, it's to obstruct the exhaust. Smothering the exhaust can lead to disaster sooner or later. You must ensure that exhaust fumes can easily and without restriction exit the building. If you wish to recover some heat, attach a vertical chimney to your diesel heater. Do not reduce the diameter of the chimney!

i totally get the concept. but: 1) why make the inlet so far up that you need a chair to fill it? 2) how do you get the gas into a storage container like a rubber boat, a truck tire-hose or a big PVC Baloon? 3) why is there no shutter in the input or fertilizer extraction pipe to keep gas from escaping or creating explosive atmosphere with incoming atmospheric air? thx!

Where is that smell of sowercrowt coming from ?

🤔 pluming it through the top and exhausting at the bottom. You are losing 90% of the heart Plum the entry to the radiator at the bottom and exhaust at the top. That way way it heats the entire radiator before exhausting.

why don't you use a diesel generator and cool it with your radiator from inside the house and while you make electricity

You’re adding heat storage instead of just warming air directly, so maybe more efficient that way but the heater’s efficiency didn’t change. You just added thermal mass.

Iam looking for about your products place lace me a massage.when I post this, I am looking for more information on this. Work small a little tiny house for a houseboat or a shipping container

❤ I'd propose to turn the heat exchange sideways or flat. to allow the soot to flow out from the radiator coils and prevent long-term use blockage. thanks for your experiment ❤

Great idea. Good thinking on putting inlet at top so that condensables can drain out the bottom.

Input should be at the bottom as heat rises!!

Good job, I would have bought the metal pipe from a recycling yard for a few bucks tho. Where I’m at we can wander a bit around the yard, pick things up, put them on the scale and pay double or triple what they buy it for, much better than buying from a retail store. @ $250/ton #1 steel it makes that 4lbs of steel worth a few bucks at best.. Cheers!

Loved the video. Thanks.

are you using indoor air for combustion?

Now that is an awesome idea! If you find you need more heat at the griddle, you can insulate the pipe.

I have to say that this is one of the best ideas I have seen on KZbin. Of course condensation will form in the rad, but being cast iron and the exhaust low, it will drip out the bottom. Those heaters burn so efficiently that you won't have to worry about soot collecting in the rad. To test for this possibility, when it's new, record the temperature drop from top of rad to the bottom. After running it for months, or years, keep testing the temperature difference. If soot is forming on the inside of the rad, the temperature difference will become less. The exhaust temperature, at the floor will increase. The soot will act as an insulation. I can't see that happening though because of the burn efficiency. I only thing I would do differently is a more positive, sealed connection between the iron pipe and the heaters' flex line. Easy fix. As for the haters in the comment section, these people are shocking ignorant to basic science. You can tell they have done nothing in life. Nice job. It has given me some ideas.👍
