How To Make Alcohol Lamp From Scratch

[@pathardage1880]

As easy as I rememberd from High School. Thank you.

[@negroobserver]

great simple and easy instructions. Thank you!

[@willampyle778]

U kept it basic and straight to it great job

[@billyslab4673]

Thank you!

[@jfish1184]

the automotive store has vacuum caps which worj perfect as a kid ffor lamps like these

[@VerbenaIDK]

I made am burner from am ambar bottle, epoxy and a nut to protect the plastic lid, works surprisingly well

[@donaldchase329]

I used to make them from empty baby food jars and punch a few holes in a tin can to put on top and made a quick easy camp stove. I could heat water for instant coffee in about 5 minutes.

[@ryanarmishaw3305]

That's awesome! Thank you :)

[@mahmoodsuhail8996]

Alcohol is good for burners as it burns clean, low, blue and hot, but when it comes to light, you need to have high yellow flame to be able to generate light, and this is only possible with kerosene especially for wicked lamps. Even oils doesn't work although many claim because oil isn't flammable at room temperature and air pressure and the wick will keep glowing and will be eaten down quickly. Try kerosene and you will be amazed, you can control the power of the light by adjusting the wick length

[@crazysquirrel9425]

Add a pinch of table salt to the alcohol. Turns the flame yellow.

[@cindykq8086]

The flame in the video was yellow.

[@spoongod2401]

Purpose os for heat not light tho

[@ilkbaharkunduzu1]

I will buy for my mother. She will use for the flowers. The flame's heat will make the edge of the flowers pedals curvy. I will use Isopropyl alcohol. Is that ok to use it?

[@nevadie133]

The drinking alcohol only works if it's above 100 proof! (50% abv) Just in case anyone filled it with Smirnoff and thought something wasn't working- it's gotta be the strong stuff!

[@stuzworldz]

Funny and accurate....thnx from Cambria California

[@billyslab4673]

I tried using Gin (80 proof) before but I ended up drinking it instead hahaha

[@-LuxLunae-]

Anything around 80 proof will burn if you get it hot enough, you just have to use a blowtorch or something to get it going. Obviously 100 proof or higher will burn better though.

[@andrewbernaldezjr.5443]

gin won't work??

[@papafrank7094]

Whatever drinking alcohol you use, make sure it's around 140 proof (70% alcohol) or higher. Golden Grain is 199 proof, so be damn careful using it either way. Drinking it or using it in your lamp.

[@vidal6992]

Good job bro, thanks for sharing

[@OmidEsk]

Very good

[@mati_A1902]

hello brother, what are the 2 holes on the side of the main hole for? What purpose do they serve

[@peatjones]

Yea I wanna know that too. Would it not cause the flame to go in the jar and maybe cause a bigger fire?

[@raziphaz2219]

one hole lets air in, the other out, so that the alcohol level can go down. without the holes the alcohol would stop going up the wick

[@nancygould6789]

Thank you...that was helpful

[@timothyaguilar7727]

Great Tutorial Vid !!! Thank-You!!! Any More Gems Like This??

[@billyslab4673]

Thanks mate! I'm currently working on a new project. It will be ready in a few days :)

[@SporeLuckUK]

Great video

[@Silvers-y]

Tanks it almost feels like learning in a lab

[@papafrank7094]

Store it in a Ziplok bag, sure... just make sure the lamp is completely cooled before you do this or you'll be scraping melted plastic off of your lamp.

[@shadowkitsu]

How long will it last?

[@daisydaisy8265]

Hi. Can I try that with methylated spirits?

[@groggers]

Any alcohol spirits will do

[@romeogayas4085]

Nice video keep it up😍

[@ctr6224]

Thanks now I can cook

[@vickim8710]

How long would a jar that size burn?

[@crazysquirrel9425]

Best guess a couple of hours. Smaller wick the longer the burn time.

[@flyback_driver]

You could distill any alcoholic beverage and obtain mostly pure alcohol but the cost is not worth it. Alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature so you put the solution into a boiling flask with a vent at the top running to a cooling tube. Preferably coiled to increase cooling time and an ice bath helps condensation. The end of that cooling tube needs to run into a sanitized container that is also heat resistant. Copper was the old material modern day stainless steel for large production or home diy and borosilicate glass (pyrex makes a lot of it) collection flask. Don't do this to make stronger alcohol for consumption. It will kill you and it's going to hurt the whole time you are dying. If it's for fuel purposes full send just maintain safe practices because it's now a volatile liquid. Hey man thanks for making this video I need to do some plastic welding repairs and wax carving tools with an alcohol lamp will work perfectly.

[@Eseferna]

pretty good ty

[@kyuingachanchahongnao9212]

Can we use kerosene

[@ompabaletserametse8643]

way to go!

[@crazysquirrel9425]

Yes but stinky and sooty.

[@jackh127]

Whats the 2 small holes for?

[@crazysquirrel9425]

As fuel is used up, it has to draw air in or you create a vacuum.

[@ahmedabdelbary2271]

Nice vidio for making a glass stove but I think it would be safer if you make it from a metal to avoid over heating of the glass

[@Turrican60]

Glass is typically manufactured at 1400 to1600 degrees, and that's SERIOUSLY hot. The heat produced by this burner is absolutely trifling in comparison, ergo it won't cause any problem if the jar is free of obvious defects. Relax.

[@ahmedabdelbary2271]

@@Turrican60 thanks for your kind reply ,glass need only over heating to manufacture it but when it is ready for use as a cup of tea or a jar it easily broke down it happened with many people when putting some hot tea in a cup of glass sometimes it brokedown

[@turtle4929]

can we use any type of robbing alcohol to refill the lamp?

[@billyslab4673]

yes you can!

[@angelogaming9538]

Sir ! May i use motorcycle gasoline?

[@crazysquirrel9425]

NO! It is explosive!

[@ilkbaharkunduzu1]

[@sadiquereza2191]

hello can I use isopropyl hand rubbing alcohol (70%) as the lamp's fuel

[@sadiquereza2191]

billy please reply

[@crazysquirrel9425]

Yes you can. Higher the alcohol concentration the less soot you get.

[@minxyms2748]

Where can I get that wide glass jar?

[@celiashen5490]

They look like canning jars. I believe one can get them at stores with decent kitchen departments.

[@billyslab4673]

you can easily purchase it from your local grocery stores and trusted online retailers/sellers.

[@lucaluke2012]

does it make bad smell in the room ?

[@Turrican60]

no

[@myopinion4164]

I need gelp pls i tried this step 1000 times but when i turn the burner on it takes less than 20 seconds and it turns off

[@petrmaly9087]

Too tight tube. You need a tube wide enough or fabric loose enough so the fuel can go up without any obstructions.

[@EchaniJoseph-ps7dr]

thank u scientist

[@mohamadrezarezai5519]

عالی بود

[@AMIR-yi8bo]

واقعا جالب بود

[@richardwich9330]

I bought a new wick lantern this evening,I decided to try the 70% isotope alcohol as my personal third party fuel. If the results are not positive I would go back to lamp oil as designed which has a suggested bad side effect for some persons... Bye Bye!

[@invent7746]

pls tell me can i use sanitiser to make it

[@matthewisiopao]

pwede ba yung thinner

[@billyslab4673]

yes po, pero medyo maitim lang po yung magiging usok

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

You can make a hole with a punch hole tool

[@darcenumdah]

Are you Filipino?

[@johnalbertruepalomar5767]

Panu po gawing blue flame sir ung lamp gamit ang denatured alcohol??

Simple - blow it out.

Can I use socks instead of gloves??? Tsaka is there a way to make a diy metal tube? kasi wala ako mahanap na metal tube...

[@sam0091able]

you can use aluminum foil i think

Do not use anything that contains man made fibers.
