Make The Simplest Alcohol Torch

This is a tutorial on how you can make a really simple alcohol torch. It works by squeezing the bottle and with this motion the fumes from the alcohol are blown to the little flame on top of the bottle, igniting them.

In Olde Times, a common type of torch used by jewelers was an ordinary alcohol lamp and a blowpipe held in the mouth. You would blow through the blowpipe, directing the air across the alcohol flame and onto the work. There was no alcohol vapor being burned; just a lot of oxygen being added to the alcohol flame to make it burn hotter and also to direct the flame horizontally. This would create enough heat to melt "hard solders," i.e. silver and gold solders that melt at about a red-hot temperature. One trick to using this tool was learning to let your cheeks fill with air, then expel the air in your mouth while you inhale through your nose. That way you can create a continuous airflow, instead of puffing.

[@MrBiky]

Awesome ! I really needed something to replace my soldering iron. This torch is great.

...What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him

Really neat torch, good work!

[@johnnyq90]

+Miguel Almeida Thank you!

[@rosso4122]

+johnnyq90 couldnt you make it more efficient by putting some kind of tube around the flame ... its very easy to see that most of the flame goes up instead of forwads?

[@MrBen527]

+Miguel Almeida Yes! Great idea!!

[@taterrj91]

I thought it was pretty cool I'm a subscriber now I can't wait to see some more stuff Thanks

[@nico8273]

Did you think about making an Oxy Hydrogen Torch ? I mean, with a proper flashback protector and stuff. That thing can reach +1000 C easily. I'd love to see that !

[@SpecificLove7]

Very simple and creative. Did you make it for any specific usage?

[@johnnyq90]

+Specific Love Creations If I have an easy job to do and my little torch has run out of butane then I'd use this one. I'll probably make another version, more practical and useful than this.

[@-a13x-75]

+johnnyq90 please do!!

[@danieltoledo9295]

Specific Love Creations the use of this. Is in sculpting write this in KZbin “álcool torch escultura de cera” sorry for my inglish im brazilian

[@dirrtbikekid7]

I use a torch like this called buffalo dental alcohol torch. We use it in the dental lab to smooth out wax by heating it with the torch

[@gw0mof]

I made similar years ago using just a candle flame for soldering, I had a glass tube for the nozzle and a rubber tube to blow from my mouth which with careful expertise you can keep the air flowing continuously from your cheeks. I think I had the nozzle in the blue part of the flame.

[@NicuIrimia]

I wonder what happens if the 2mm copper tube is in the heat of the flame? maybe the expanding gases will do the blowing action on their own.

[@BigManko]

Great, if you would integrate a small compressor (Like the one for aquariums) and a foot-switch it would be even better i think. I might give that one a try. Thanks!

[@johnnyq90]

+John Smith I did something similar kzbin.info/www/bejne/goCXfWaLjMqUaLs

[@crosleyfiver8686]

we used this way back in the 80's in Dental School to melt our waxes or to put on the shine on our tooth wax patterns :)

[@Njennings42]

if you make your "torch head" cross over the wick, it will use thermal syphoning to draw more alcohol up the small vapor tube and create a "jet"

[@E.lectricityNorth]

That is a great build! Awesome.

[@rihardsrozans6920]

I don't really see much of an use out of this. Maybe making toast.

[@HentaiNat]

[@mr.everything6791]

What type of bottle did he use to make it

[@phoebekuan]

the goldsmith torch uses gasoline vapor but uses foot bellow to pump air. basically operates under the same principle as this alcohol torch.

[@Roobotics]

I think this is a clever idea and neat design for a torch that has a nice low idle consumption for burst usage, but I think having the hot metal insert in the plastic lid is a bad idea, I'd try and find a way to get a metal lid to lessen the possibility of things melting and slipping apart.

[@WizzleThump]

I love it what but is a practical use? Most things you use a torch for are for a longer duration of time than a few spurts a second.

[@Moltenfire619]

Nice, you know they sell these. They are called "dental alcohol torch" they are mostly use for wax working. PS: you could use denatured alcohol.

[@andregross7420]

Use an air compressor feeding air in the top, down to a dipstick under the surface of the liquid. It will bubble the liquid and create vapor faster, and you don't have to pump it. I built a torch just like that that runs on gasoline. Stays lit on its own too.

[@johnnyq90]

+Andre Gross I had something like this on my mind, but for this one I wanted to keep it as simple as it gets. Thank you for the idea ;)

[@JoshuaRando]

What if you had a small coil of the copper tubing over the flame to make it very hot then the tubing will be in the liquid alcohol so when you squeeze it lightly alcohol will run up the tub and be vaporized.

[@johnnyq90]

+Joshua Rando I woulnd't trust it very much on this plastic bottle because I'm pretty sure it would start melting it, but I get your point ;)

[@ignasanchezl]

Shouldn't there be risk of an explosion when there is little alcohol and and too much air goes inside the bottle?

[@St3veTh3Min3r]

Can you attach the 2mm copper tubing to the end of a low-pressure compressor to have it blow constantly?

[@davidwatson3711]

This would also be of interest to the musical instrument repair industry, ie Lutherie ie aging/relicing making a guitar look old

[@jerkyjosh]

my left ear loved this video

[@stefanb.933]

Hello. how long can you work with the torch? doesn't the plastic cover heat up?

[@chercheurdor1944]

It's really a good idea .

[@harsahejsingh1361]

What all can we use instead of alcohol to burn the cloth

[@Eldenoras]

you could have another bottle be a pressure tank to hold air and hook it up to the bottom then release the air little to put the alcohol into the air and pump the air out.

where did you get that bottle? it looks unique

[@anmolkumar6704]

Could it melt a small piece of glass?

I think a smaller diameter wick might be better, to help prevent flames shooting out the top.

[@leontam221]

Can I just use the original tube of the bottle?Just cut the tube to size and put the wick in?

Why not use air compressor for more pressurere?

Somehow, if you could get the alcohol to heat up to expell vapour on its own, it would be very useful. p.s. your outro sounds like a jet engine starting xD

[@brodymaddalozzo9880]

could you use a vintury affect to get the fumes out?

[@EmilianoFerraricolorett]

Just a thought... what if you put a second straw on the bottle? You can blow through the straw and then,i guess, you'll have a continuous torch flame... Isn't that right?

The copper tubing you use is also used in the hvac industry it's called a capillary tube there is a cutter available that does not deform the cut so you don't have to reshape reopen the cut Like your videos, they are very quiet(sarcasm).

[@stevenjeffrey4637]

Couldn't he have just used the Dremel to cut the pipe in the first place? I don't think that would distort the tubing.

[@jaredsanders5668]

Alcohol powered micro turboprop! :)

[@Ryansanders80]

+Jared Sanders yes please

[@b5a5m5]

Cute! But I'd be careful as the copper pipe is pulling oxygen back into the bottle when you stop squeezing thus creating an explosive mix of oxidizer and combustible gas. Hopefully the copper pipe is small enough to arrest any backflash.

yeah each squeeze is sucking oxygen into that thing. gonna suck when the mix gets just right and explodes burning alcohol all over your shit. With these things the idea is to use the torches own heat to vaporize alcohol and it continues until it runs out of fuel.
