DIY carbide lamp making

[@mgsystems596]

Excellent DIY carbide lamp - 100% homemade

[@Sierra111982]

We use these in the 90's when we go fishing at night in the river. I miss those days

[@emilflognoid1532]

Your talking about the 1890s I assume??

I've met one of the last can makers of my small village, and it always impressed me how he could bring to life sheets of can, into amazing and useful pieces. This video sorts of brings back some of those memories, of watching him. Obviously he didn't had the fancy tools we use now, but it was amazing to see the whole process.

I have 2 or 3 original track worker lanterns from the 1930s that also work with carbide. The original nozzles where made of ceramic and had a kind of filter that regulated the gas stream for an even flame and avoided clogging(causing a dangerous gas pressure). I think it might be a good idea to try using 3D printer nozzles because they are a lot more durable than aluminium disks and come in different sizes down to 0.1 mm. Another good working nozzle can be found in the carburettor of pressurized kerosene lamps.

I didn't know how I came to see this video, but I am glad I did, This is such a fantastic video

Now this is what I call dedication, well done👍

[@rickpalechuk4411]

Nice, a trip back in time. Thanks for sharing Cheers

[@PiperX1X]

My father showed me a trick he would do with carbide as a kid, he would get a treacle tin and punch a small hole in the bottom then place two or three pieces of carbide into the tin, pour on water then push lid back on and lay it on its side until gasses started to come out of the small hole he’d made then light it and it would go with a bang blowing the lid off at the same time. That’s what they did for fun back in the 1930s

[@homemadetools]

Clever build! We posted this video in our homemade tools forum this week :)

[@SirCumferencelel]

It serves a duel function of keeping you awake wondering when is the next time it is going to pop lol.

[@artist4life89]

Would it be possible to put a parts list in the description? I would love to try to make one of these! I just wouldn’t know what the bushings are called or what size. Thanks for a great vid!

[@ssskbslj3640]

Yes. The parts details will be usefull.

[@senyumlahsikit]

Nahh, for sure, he dont know what the part was. He made all parts from scratch, using all those power tools. Including bolt & nut..😢

[@jerrywhidby.]

Rivet nut

[@jerrywhidby.]

Rivet nuts . . . lathe 😅. (Pulls lathe out of back pocket)

[@timothypaulino8454]

These look like items you find in a house (lathe maybe not). That orange washer seal is what you use to seal Mason jars

[@07HDFatboy]

Great work

[@meow0103]

Wow... You are amazing 👌Reminded me of our age old Petromax Kerosene Lamps (India) (similar to the paragon lamps of Europe) which were used in our ancestors homes here. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@oldmate_pj9415]

Brilliant work

[@przemekswatowski6939]

Ah yesss, great DIY boom boom flashlight :)

This is the content KZbin was made for.

[@barthanes1]

I really like your gass nozzle design. It is very simple, cheap, and effective.

[@larstrans789]

Splendid work 👏👍

[@Sirio69]

Excelent my friend

[@edroosen4988]

Great video and a awesome lamp at the end, You are a thru artist my compliments!! Thank you for sharing

[@vinceianni4026]

Very good beautiful work

[@ismailramadan2528]

Amazing!

[@emilflognoid1532]

Super cool Project!! Personal Opinion: I don't think any project involving a calipers, thread cutter, and a lathe should be legally allowed to be titled DIY... now we're delving into the upper eschalons of crafting, and moving into machining and engineering territory...😂😂😂

[@suhailnaleem]

Well said brother❤❤

[@manjitsoni9676]

ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧੀਆ ਲੱਗੀ ਇਹ ਵੀਡੀਓ ਅਤੇ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਵੀਰੇ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ

[@jackevans2386]

Great video !

[@andrewooddotcom]

Love this one!

[@SilntObsvr]

I'm going to agree that the tip orifice is probably larger than it needs to be, which requires faster water drip and uses up your carbide faster, not to mention making a smokier flame. With a smaller flame (and a shorter tube behind the orifice nut), you could put the flame in the center of the bowl and get more efficient light distribution as well, so more light with longer life on a fill. I might also have added a soldered-on nut and gasket or o-ring to the water metering screw so it can be shut off hard (leakage past the threads will kill your carbide if you try to carry the lamp filled). Also, the popping when the lamp is burning indicates gas is leaking, collecting in the reflector without going through the orifice to the main flame. When enough builds up, it'll ignite with that pop and then it's burned away. Use of rivet nuts where you did is brilliant, though. This is very good for completely homemade. I wonder if there is a way to eliminate the machining for the bulkhead, perhaps using screw-top cups for the water and carbide chambers. I'd also use stainless fasteners inside; the calcium hydroxide left by the reacting carbide and water will corrode regular steel pretty quickly (which is why these lamps were usually made of brass before stainless steels were affordable).

[@johnvaluk1401]

Old video I just found. Nice little project. Maybe a smaller hole I. Burner tip? I like this!

[@thedude8046]

Very cool man!

[@omnirath]

Don’t lie the hardest part was removing the sticker from the cup

[@Butterfinger312]

Good job.

[@wieslawkruczala3205]

You are really skillful.

[@b_lach00]

Hi, i'd like to make my own one, but how do i know that when the pressure of acethylene will get lower it wouldn't explode and hurt me with shrapnells?

[@graemeallan54]

needs air to burn,keep the generator airtight

[@bjf10]

Super cool!

[@ismaeldelgado6615]

Nice!

[@davidpennant5535]

I really love this design, thank you! When I have a workshop of my own and the space to start making my projects, I will absolutely go back to this video for references. Suggestion or question, I think a counterweight of the opposite side of where the bowl is might be a good idea gram for gram because I noticed it did not seem balanced until it was filled with water and calcium carbide. Just a suggestion for safety, but otherwise, I seriously love this design. It looks so much safer than the knockoff invitations you find on Amazon. Thank you for sharing

[@TheXquantumleap]

Nice carbide lapm, like Lukasiewicz (form Poland) made kerosene lamp

[@ВячеславГорюнов-е2х]

Просто бесподобное решение по своей простоте!!! Просто талант!!! Обязательно сделаю себе. Вы- красавчик!

Bravo......that's a fast water feed....mine has a wick rope ......and little ceramic tip on burner jet.......cheers

Один из немногих адекватных людей кто поясняет нормально. 100% согласен . Переизбыток с панелей должен быть больше потребления с системы иначе акум никогда не зарядится.

[@motooilermotooiler9597]

You should have a fine mesh just behind the nozzle for as a flame retardant. Apart from that - super nice build. ❤

[@jamesrobertgarcia4567]

Cool

[@1234hijs]

So how is the pressure regulated in such a way that it does noet explode?

[@mr.shameless1886]

this looks like an Overly Engineed Handheld Candlelight. *_But im all for it_*

[@Monaco_mechanical]

Are those riv-nuts or some sort of expansion shield? I didnt know you could do that by hand

[@TPS070]

00:57 sounds like you almost had an aneurysm tighting that 😂😂 also i dont have a lathe so how you expect normal everyday people to make this?

[@eltronco1973]

nice job

Lovely beautiful. .but those days are gone.

[@TheStraycat74]

how much would that cost?

[@rid.]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@liquidsonly]

No safety valve? I some old carbide lamps, all have pressure relief valves they can, and my father assures me do explode. Common on small ships in the past, trawlers etc.

[@jamesrobertgarcia4567]

Hey dude can you make a two cup coffee pot !

[@stephensmith799]

A good friend gave me a German locomotive lamp which was either paraffin or carbide powered (the inner lamp is missing). It would be great to bring it back to life in this way. Would a mantle make the light even brighter?

I will buy candle. Thanks

HOW long does the lamp burn to produce light ???

Aaaaand, I would like to purchase this from you.

[@AgungSubekti.]

What a carbide will gone loses after water drop, and how long duration thanks serrr

[@BUTTERFLY4GOD]

How can I buy one like this?

[@GregoryAthis-i5x]

Do you sell these?

[@user-vw6ej7ib5c]

Nice, but some of us do not own a lath

[@harishankarkaviarasu9096]

[@amitdesai2421]

What these threaded sleeves called?

[@getprobed838]

can i just buy that one from you?

[@marcin84m2]

💪🏻

[@deusexmachinareznov4975]

Add a holder for a chunk of calcium oxide, that will really get the light going.
