Mr. Robo, may I ask you when you did this experiment how long did the fuel burn with the amount of fuel you used in your experiment with these materials shown in this video thanks:-)

[@terrydouglas2777]

I used a can with wick using 90% rubbing alcohol and the can was 1.5 inches tall and about 4 inches diameter and it ran for 2 hours if I'm remembering right. The longer it ran an I used a sheet metal floor heat duct boot with a 4 inch 90 degrees elbow on it with a thermometer hanging at mouth. Temp was 350 degrees for long time but I put 2 cans under the boot and temp was 450 degrees. I added an old computer fan that was 12 volt DC, an wired it with rocker on n off switch and a 9 volt square battery that turned the fan using it 8 hours per day the battery lasted over a week. The rubbing alcohol bottle lasted 2 an half days running 2 can in it. Well worth it to watch the safe emergency heat teaching grandson other ways of making heat. Plus him being 8 years old he loved using my tools to make it. I used heavy wood around left an right side and back of heat duct boot so it wasn't too heavy, that's very important to make sure it can not fall over. Tip if you get soot from burner since I use wicks. Means the wick is to long so cut it down some till it stops smoking.needs to be 1/4-3/8-1/5 inch depending on type of wick you are using. Many videos on here on making wicks during a emergency such as shoe strings and ropes.

[@nessunodorme3888]

Yeah, that's my question, too! Is he saying the copper is acting as the catalyst? That's a new one but, since there's still flame visible, that catalyzes reaction isn't taking place. He's skipping over some crucial information if nothing else.

[@SmilingDevil]

The only way I see is to make it run out of fuel, or cool it to stop the reaction. If you managed to seal it from Air, sure you could stop it, but with the output of this, something to take the heat is needed. Probably better to run a test to determine consumption and fill only to last the desired time

[@patrickbodine1300]

A person could make the outer reflector sized to fit around the heater, complete with handles on the reflector, so that when you want to turn the heater off, simply put the ends of the reflector together, thus depriving the heater of oxygen, smothering the fire inside.

[@badmacdonald]

how long would you get heat with the amount of fuel you put in?

[@Doctor-Robo]

It is difficult to say exactly, the consumption depends on many factors: the diameter of the tank, the size of the grid cells, the height of the grid, the fuel temperature, the purity of the fuel and its temperature.

Thank you for the video. I have a question. Is there a way to turn it off mid way? Or you have to wait until the alcohol is gone? What happens if you take it part or if it fall over?

[@jdray]

I'm fascinated by this concept, and asked a question on the forge-iron version of it. Please help me understand. The bottom container holds the ethanol, and there is a small gap between it and the upper container, which holds the copper? And, due to heat, the ethanol is vaporized and the vapor comes into contact with the copper, where it catalyzes with the oxygen in the air for combustion? Then the heat from the combustion keeps the ethanol hot so it continues to vaporize? Do I have all that right? Спасибо

If you want to store flammable fuel in your home and also keep filling this can up every hour at best. Also risk either kids or pets knocking it over. FORGET IT. I’m not saying it doesn’t work but when you add the wick, fuel, gauze it’s probably on par with much safer options. For a shed to take the chill off might be ok.

This heater can work with solid alcohol?

[@Grateful_Grannie]

So is this an alcohol / bio-ethanol burner with a screen chimney? I see the alcohol vapor burning… the screen & reflector radiate heat. I’m confused about the catalytic part. Alcohol vapors burn in metal containers all the time. But not that high - maybe the screen facilitates the fumes and makes the screen a chimney for blooming? I’m not very engineering savvy. If it was an alcohol stove heater chimney, I would get it. It looks super cool. I think stainless steel would be safer than aluminum, but could be wrong. - Dazed & confused, but intrigued!

This heater needs a super heavy and broad base, otherwise it's just too dangerous to use. Imagine accidentally tipping it over. That's an instant house fire. Also, you didn't warn about refueling too early, which can cause reignition of fumes, flames shooting up inside the fuel container, making it explode and severley burning or even killing the person holding it. Not to mention the instant house fire again... If the whole world can see this, it even reaches people that in progress of looting fuel trucks in the desert, light up a cigarette.
