Nice video. This concept and design has been around for years. My thoughts/comments are: 1) If you're going through the whole process of making forms and pouring concrete, just make 1 form and make it for the entire size of the tank. Better stability, less chance of the pads coming through bottom of the tank. That's how stock tanks are designed to work. 2) For the heater, build and actual fireplace around your copper pipe and increase the number of coils. That will get your temperatures up and more constant. 3) To retain heat, wrap the tank in insulation and make a decorative outer wrap. Good information tho! 😁😁😁😁

I completed this project today just as you explained. It is currently 28 degrees so it is taking me a bit longer to heat up. I did put a cover on and tarp to contain some heat. Great video. I am an arborist and own and operate a tree service so I have plenty of wood to burn. I will definitely enjoy a hot tub when I'm at 10,000 feet in my off grid cabin. Thanks for sharing the great info.

This was pretty well thought out. One serious thing though, because of electrolysis between dissimilar metals there can eventually be corrosion between the copper tubing and steel bars. If you use stainless steel instead for the steel bars it will be ok.

Can't help but chuckle a little of how this reminds me of Looney Tunes where they'd lure someone in thinking it was a hot tub and really be making them into a stew. haha. Looks relaxing! And also looks good for ice baths.

I built my own also and used boiler tube and enclosed the heating coils in a large piece of pipe. It heated fast and after it got hot it took very little fire to keep it warm. Good job!

Quick suggestions. Change the steel/iron support bars to copper if you are going to leave it outside. The dissimilar metals will start corroding much faster then if they are the same metal. The other solution is wrap the copper tubing around something that is being heated by the fire. This will allow much better heat transfer into the water so you can wrap more more turns and have more hot water. Great video and concept.

Great idea. Add a check valve to the bottom side of the pipe. This will help when pressure is built up and push out the hot water to the top. Don't know if they make a cooper check valve. But could use a regular pvc bc the heat isn't much on the intake side. Excellent vid👍🏽👍🏽

Dude great idea, I feel justified because I did similar project.. I have no neighbors so I bathe outside all the time!.. I made a tighter heat-riser coil so it would fit into a stovepipe, mounted on a stove made from a propane cylinder.. tempted to plumb/heat my house same way!.. A plus with using a little stove is that you have control of your fire/coals.. Nice!

Here are a few ideas you, or someone making this, may find useful. You could wrap the copper around 8" Duct Pipe from a Stove and move this unit inside. Also you could make more loops closer together so it heats the water faster. Having the copper wrap around the Stove Pipe would keep the smoke at bay and allow the heating to be a bit more efficient. Depending on the Drum you use for the Burner, you may want to make multiple Copper Runs to Multiple Stove Pipes to allow for faster heating of the water, perhaps a copper pipe for each side. Also you may want to install some sort of circulation pump to move the water a bit faster to keep hot spots from taking place. Or you just might want to put a Pound Pump in the Tank to just circulate the water that way. Of you could must make a Copper Run, two connectors at the bottom with a Circulation Pump only, to circulate just the Tub Water so that is move the Cold Water constantly. Great Project....

This is why when building a home you put your wood burning stove directly on the other side of you bathroom/shower/tub. If you have a shared cement or rock wall to hold heat between the stove and the shower as well as run hot water or copper tubing through the wall and into a gravity fed water heater you get free hot water while you warm your home in the winter :)

Been using one of those tanks for several years, but I just set it up on rocks and build a fire underneath it. After all it's a metal tank. But I do have to rake the fire out before getting in and then have a limited time to stay in, unless I want to make a grid floor to sit on above the bottom which I haven't. After a number of years use the seams got to leaking a bit too much so I caulked them. Eventually I'll make a better one for more people, since the oval tank is only large enough for 2.

When I was a kid in Croatia we had a wood-heated bathtub where there was a water tank (similar to today's water heaters you find in your basement, but only about a foot in diameter). There was a place to put the wood in right uner it. When the water was hot we filled the bath. The tank kept filled up and kept heating as the wood burned. Great baths, never this much wasted wood. Was too young to remember the other details of it.

I like it, came out great. Probably didn't need to do all that extra work with the concrete pads. I would have removed 2-3" of soil, tamped the soil, then applied a layer of gravel followed by a layer of sand. That tub wouldn't move. The only problem, is having to smell smoke while enjoying that hot water.

I was living off the land on Maui in 1976. When invited up to Haiku to stay in a reconditioned chicken shack I discovered the fudo tub. Japanese by design, it was a ferro cement vessel with copper sheeting on the bottom. You could hack up some wood with a cane knife and start a fire right under it. It also had a big hollowed out bamboo cane, on a swivel, to emit overly hot water and a tap to add cool. After camping on the beach and up in the jungle, all my aches and pains were gone in about 15 minutes.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I nice cedar enclosure for the tub and a clay chiminea for the fire. They burn a lot longer so you would get a lot more time out of the firewood and safer in windy conditions. This way you could close the door to dampen the fire to turn down the heat. But the basic concept of using the copper tubing is really the heart of the idea. Fun I idea to develop further.

First I would definitely change the top water attachment to a metal or both. Second for sure I would insulat the tub.This would reduce heat time more that enlarging the copper tubbibg. But still enlarge it. Add something to protect the head from the cold. Some where to put a towel. I have other idea but don't know how upscale you want to go.

In the 80's when I worked on harbor tugs, some of the boats had what looked like wood burning stove's that ran on diesel oil. On the side with the burner there was a single coil of copper that led to a probably 15 gal tank on the opposite side of the bulkhead and the same set up with just convection to circulate the water. On long days you'd have to be careful because the hot water coming out of the tap would be hot enough to scald you.

@ 2:21 is the first mistake. The heating coils should dump hot water into the bottom of the tub on one end and should draw from the top on the other side. The way he is doing it is like a hot water heater that you draw hot water from for filling a tub, so the hot water up high should not mix with the cold water below and you draw your hot water from the top only. To keep the tub hit the hot should enter from the bottom mixing with the cold to keep the tub warm top to bottom.
@kingsleyzissou5881
@kingsleyzissou5881 6 жыл бұрын
The reason that the water flows into the copper tube at all is due to hydrostatic pressure. The means that the pressure increases linearly with depth. The tube cannot "dump hot water into the bottom of the tub" because its pressure will be less than the pressure at the bottom of the tub. Water in that case would flow in the opposite direction. There is no pump here at all. The only thing driving the flow is hydrostatic pressure. There is only one way for the flow to go.

In 1967 my father took me on one of his yearly hunting vacations for the 1st time, elk hunting in eastern Oregon. Him and 5 of his buddies had been doing this for many years. Get away from the wives, drink, tell lies, shoot guns, and usually fill the freezer with meat of one kind of another, plus the hides, feathers, leather, eye teeth, antlers... even deer leg tendons dried and scraped and used as a toothpick. I never liked the killing but did use everything that nature and my dad provided. These guys didn't do it to prove they were tough or for attention, quite the contrary. They didn't rough it one bit. There was a campfire going 24/7 at camp, sitting next to it was a 30 gal. aluminum pot with handles and a lid. My dad had tapped the pot and mounted brass hardware so a 4' long 3/4 inch copper loop could be mounted and placed in the fire. The pot was always being refilled and kept on the edge of being too hot to use to wash, in other words... perfect. I like your concept with a couple of modifications. I think the hot (exit) end should be under the water surface it still circulates just fine. And, your plan doesn't take into account the inevitable tsunami that is going to occur when things turn... frisky? A drain into a nearby water feature that can filter grey water would be nice and the chicken wouldn't mind at all. Design a system that feeds pellets into a brick chamber holding the copper tube and save a ton of wood. Good job.

you can put fins on the copper tubing to increase heat exchange surface and put the copper tubing inside an enclosure to keep the heat inside

Unless you happen to live off the grid and what a DIY Hot tub for the occasional bath? However judging from your comment you've only had to turn your wrist to get this satisfaction. Some people like to escape the dependence of the system and work a little for this sort of thing.

You should make a rocket stove for this. It's way more efficient on wood.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd build it up so you add the sticks(not logs) right at the edge, so you can feed it while in it. I've seen sweet pizza ovens using a rocket stove to heat it instead of the standard bonfire. They got it to +900°F in 30 minutes instead of 2 hours. Oh- and no smoke! (if built like a true rocket stove)

pink foam underneath, and spread in/out, say you stove take vertical 33gal barrel wood stove, put lg coppipe on bottom of the tank, any valve to reg flow goes this side then pipe gets slightly smaller, could add find to pickup more heat, or just add flame with chimney under tube(mini-rocket stove to bring up 180gals first GL good stuff, I own/made one of these
