This video actually saved my family. Thank you very much! We bought ethyl alcohol from an online supplier and the container was properly labeled and it was cheap so I tested it and the flame was as blue as the ocean. No laughing matter as I know someone who went permanently blind from methanol poisoning after continuous use of 'rubbing alcohol' that he thought was safe.

Wow! Usually if any methanol has been added to ethanol, it is labeled as “denatured alcohol” indicating the presence of methanol or other stabilizers. This kind of fuel should not be used for any consumption or for cooking over. Pure ethanol is a better option! So glad this video helped!! Thanks for watching!

Yo like I do my own distilling and the higher the proof of ethonal the more blue the flame is. And methanol makes a yellowish flame. Much more carbon and nasty components that are poisonous

@@jamesthomas8481 The proof matters. If you add water to ethanol lowering the proof, the flame goes more blue believe it or not. Is your alcohol lower than 190 proof? I have food grade/un-denatured alcohol for tincture making, it's 190% proof (95% alcohol by volume) it burns with blue and yellow flames like in the video, lots of yellow when the lights are out. I dilute it for tinctures of-course...it's grain alcohol.

Because I now know the brightness means more soot particles glowing while they're being released, that means isopropanol would leave the most soot at bottom of your kettle, and methanol would leave the least. Maybe that's why the "alcohol for burning" (as labeled) that I have here at home is methanol. Though I use it exclusively to clean sticky things.

I know this is a bit late but for anybody out there wondering this, yes, ethanol is safe. I used to take isopropyl camping to use on my alcohol stove, but the smell of the fumes made it clear that I needed to keep the lid on my pot at all times. Ethanol burns much cleaner and you can tell there’s not a bunch of extra soot and unburnt residue

In your experience, what would be the most balanced alcohol between heating power, cleanliness and efficiency to use in mountain stoves that use liquid fuel? I have read that the colder the color of the flame, the more heat it offers. Thank you so much.
@Kabsbub
@Kabsbub 10 ай бұрын
Yes, the more blue the flame the cleaner the burn. I have found that at room temperature, 80% ethanol is the best. Ethanol evaporates with the water, and the water limits how fast it evaporates. If you use 95% ethanol, the ethanol will evaporate too fast and you will end up with a rich air/fuel mixture (and give you a yellow flame) and if it is too lean (50% ethanol) you would have a clean flame (blue) but it'd be difficult igniting it and a lot of the ethanol would stay trapped in the liquid. Therefore the best composition is highly dependent on temperature - if you go to a higher elevation I would consider 95% ethanol. Do not use 100% ethanol, these are potentially more dangerous (and expensive).

the fire aspect of alcohols is interesting. another aspect to learn more about is how they compare in being distilled. especially given there is usually some water in the mix. for many chemistry experiments alcohol is used to dissolve some material. like a certain plant. now legal to grow in more states than ever before. and later , after some reflux, and filtering the alcohol, the filtrate can be distilled to recover the solvent and re-cycle it. plan on paying 20-25 dollars a liter for ethanol or methanol. costly . so its sensible to learn how to recover the stuff for re-use. have you covered this topic already ? let us know so we all won't have to search

Made a tin can infrared heater courtesy of Robert Murray-Smiths channel and currently all I can get for alcohol fuels is 91% rubbing alcohol. I have a gallon of methanol on order and I'm hoping it burns slower. At half of a normal tim can full of rubbing alcohol i am getting 40 mins burn time, in his video he claims less than 1/4 filled can of methanol will burn for 1 1/2 hours so here I am trying to see if methanol does burn that much slower and if soo that would help me from redilling my heater every 45 mins or so.

@The Science Pirate Hi, new to the channel. Just subscribed. Question. I know some people burn Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel in their kerosene heaters but in order to make it work they have to add some sort of additive and they also add Isopropyl Alcohol. Supposedly it keeps the wick from getting clogged up, makes it burn hotter, and keeps the smell down. I don't know how true any of that is but there's a bunch of videos on YT of ppl burning ULSD in their kerosene heaters because it is much cheaper to buy than 1K kerosene. Anyways, I have a kerosene heater but I don't burn diesel in it, I just use straight 1K kerosene. However, I was wondering, is it ok to add alcohol to kerosene? Would there be a similar benefit of keeping your wick cleaner and/or make it smell less, or burn hotter etc? If so, which alcohol would be best suited for this purpose and how much alcohol would you add to a gallon of kerosene? It's ok if you have no idea what I'm talking about lol. Thanks!

I mean like academically speaking, do you have a chemistry degree? I tried asking a question to the guy that runs the "Chemical Force" KZbin channel but didn't get a reply. Had a question about "SIO2 ceramic" coatings for automobiles which is like the newest craze for "waxing" your car.

Two questions from the nosebleed seats here. 1) Pretty simple: if I wanted to use a lantern mantle on an alcohol reservoir (stove) to make an area light, which should I use? The mantle should increase combustion toward complete by providing a superheated surface, but is that the whole story? Heat of combustion 5.8, 6.4, 8.0 kcal/kg. Flash points 12, 12.5, 11.7 C, autoignition 464, 363, 399 C. The raw data says IPA for max light. Safety factor of Ethanol starts to play. But the nearly complete combustion in open air makes methanol very attractive since the mantle irradiates visible light as long as it gets hot enough. But with a pressurized carburator IPA jumps back to the lead. SO, you have the parameters of the experiment---- GO! 2) Turbocharged internal combustion engine using alcohol injection as post intercooler charge air cooler: which alcohol and what ABV to use for best performance in gasoline carburetor (blow through), gasoline MPI, gasoline DI, diesel. Hopefully I just started a flame war (pun intended), and I can sit here an watch.

There doesn't seem to be much difference between ethanol and methanol as a fuel: both clean burning but in the UK Methanol is much cheaper. Right now burning Methanol in my decorative small home burner of the kind protected by tough glass. Gives out a remarkable amount of heat by convection presumably. It takes 200ml which burns both fuels for about 55 minutes at a useful level. All the talk about toxic methanol is related to industrial exposure. Just wash your hands if you spill any. On the other hand ethanol is safest on skin as it is used in common hand cleansers. I'll use Methanol as it is cheaper.

What about 100 percent isopropyl pharmaceutical grade that hasn’t been denatured? Not going to drink it obviously just asking for a mate

In your intro you set your self on fire. repeatedly, to the general population, society or the indoctrinated this would be considered unsafe. Cool intro though but you’ve convinced me to trust my own intuition on this one. If I make no mistakes I’ve made nothing at all! 🤣

Something people need to be aware of - flame color alone cannot differentiate between the alcohols, there are more factors that need to be taken into account. Just because it was blue does not immediately indicate it is methanol. For example, 50% ethanol burns with a blue flame at room temperature. Heat the liquid and it will burn with an orange flame. The airflow of the container will also change how visible/invisible the flame is depending on the air/fuel ratio. I don't disagree with anything in the video and you offer a great comparison but I feel like people are extrapolating the wrong conclusions from the video.

There's no fire department in Hell. Nor are there any fire extinguishers down there. Ice cubes & air conditioners're forbidden & it never snows. There's no frost in December. The number 1 hit songs are "It'll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town, Tonight & Come On, Baby, Light My Fire". People are "all fired up".

Haha I'm with you. For years I believed that ethanol is a clear blue flame and methanol was yellow. But the 'spoon test' moonshine fable is actually not true. Safe moonshine (ie ethanol) actually burns with a yellow flick. Methanol should burn blue (in this demo I'm guessing it's burning some of the metal dish as it comes yellow after a few seconds). I've lost count of the number of times I've read incorrect info on this.

You can mix methanol with water before injection. This on a vehicle that may have a high IAT performs WAYYYY better than e85.

aqua ctrl totally wrong for direct injection engines carbon build up on valves is really common so using water methanol injection will clean the valves bring intake air temps down and increase octane a lot I personally run methanol in my Subaru and it’s saved me money on maintenance cost that others that don’t run meth have to do(walnut shell blasting the valves)
