Rocket Stove Water Heater III Build -PT1-

I really go into the details with this build, so there will need to be 2
parts to this one.
In this video I build the rocket stove that will heat the water.
Part 2 will go into the water heating side of things.
If you want to see a clay version of this water heater, check out this video: • Rocket Stove Hot Water...

[@Laderfear]

awesome work. Grinders and gold bands though...... flip flops and welding...... wear the scars brother. :)

[@dougscott2408]

Also, some rocket stoves have the feeding tube, diagonal to the point of burn, allowing gravity to feed the product, while the draft is a third tube at the bottom...

[@sciencehammer9487]

Suggestion: try reusing thermal siphoning setup from your previous design, "Hot Water Rocket Stove II - BUILD 2", and doing the same test. Thus demonstrating the value of your design improvements.

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Yeh I totally agree and that's the direction I am heading. I'm still perfecting the water heating side of this build. Once I'm happy with it, I'll release pt 2. Thanks mate

[@joeschnell5695]

Are you sure you’re not building a still…..?😊

[@scottr.hampton2474]

At 19;18 I was reminded of an old trick a machinist taught me. Cut the door except the corners. Cut the space for the hinge tubes carefully. Add a small nick at each end for the rod ends to set in. Make up/Install the rod and tubes, then cut the final corners. Everything will line up so much better.

[@PhuVet]

Whenever I order and weld round things, Agencies try to get involved.

[@allcraftsmolina2498]

Great idea, I thought of the same after I built my rocket stove, next step will be to build my water heater Hopefully I can upload that video

[@scottr.hampton2474]

You've got me thinking about steam engines and how they run multiple tubes of hot air through a water jacket. I wonder if this idea would work on a rocket stove water heater set up?

[@dougscott2408]

Beautiful hinges! I noticed you opposite welded the hinges so the door could not be removed, might have been a nice feature for cleaning or transportation - to be able to remove it?

[@scottmccarroll2618]

I can’t mig I can’t tig and now watching you I’ve realized I can’t stick weld ether lol but I can forge weld hahahahaha great work thanks for sharing From Cowra NSW

[@johnsweet848]

Looks awesome! I would suggest not using galvanized pipe. It gives off fumes.

[@marijanvidic1715]

I˙m looking Your videos and i ask my self why You buy some cheap plasma cutter? That work with grinder is painful :)

[@warhobbit7951]

That’s way more complicated than it needs to be You made things look very difficult and badly designed Best of luck

[@customhaines2510]

A part off tool in the lathe would have saved you a couple of steps. You could have cut your hinge pieces and they would have come away already cleaned up.

[@phillipmckinney7906]

Bud i just joined your channel love it and i worked in a Foundry here in the states for 27 years and we had many grinders and the shit u breath off those dam things will end your life way early so use a dam dust mask esp if you have a family

[@craigbowman8843]

Pferd makes way better cut off wheels they are made in Germany the guy I worked for was from Australia and that's all he uses he was able to buy them in many places

[@stevechinz]

I can't believe I am the first to yell at you for using galvinised pipe for a firebox. Zinc is a really bad poison when it burns off. Cool design otherwise.

[@davec3376]

And for welding it without ventilation. It's called "Metal Fume Fever" I have always understood it gives off trace Arsenic as well. Not knocking ya for the great work you do but when you see a H&S problem you have to say something...just saying

[@glennmurphy9297]

ANGLING THE VENT, ONE SIDE SHORTER, WILL GET YOU A VORTEX. ANGLING IT OPPOSITE- TWICE, WILL GET YOU VELOCITY.

@@LittleAussieRockets Too much Star Trek as a kid, ha! Great vids, too! Thanks for doing them. Deforestation is such a huge problem. Everybody addressing efficiency is helping 👍

[@Dingbat217]

Cool hinges, if you waited to cut and weld the pins into the pipes you could have used a single longer pin to line up the pipes for the hinge parts, that would have made sure they were lined up around the same centre so would work well when you open up the hinges. If you leave the pin loose with a nut at the end you can take the pins out later if you need to. And was that a big drill-bit with a wooden handle i saw used a deburring tool, that's clever! :-)

Glad you're being safe today! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaDYdnaLjN9po6s I like the starting door! now... in the end of the burn chamber, right before it starts up the chimney.. put a small air shield on one side to induce a vortex.. it will take the efficiency up nicely! looking forward to more!

[@davidlaw233]

Usually helps plunging it in 😂😅

[@KODArunner]

It seems that a few comments are telling you how to do what you are doing a different way. Maybe those viewers should video building it themselves. I for one enjoy watching you build things YOUR WAY! Keep up the great work. God bless and may He keep you safe and productive.

[@simonwoolley592]

God won’t save you ! Grinding Gal is noxious!

[@douglasfur3808]

You mean like "leave the last cuts on the door until after you have mounted the hinge and latch. Then make the last cuts."? Comments on KZbin fall under the rubric "Free advice is usually worth what you pay for it." So the OP loses nothing if he ignores it and in 1/1000 comments he might find something useful. On the other hand, I imagine most posting comments wish the OP success and throw out "helpful" comments hoping they add to that success and maybe for partial payment for the fun of watching him work.

[@daylight5500]

Thanks for informative, entertaining 45 minutes.

[@samuelhorowitz2812]

My step- father built a invert for our fire place. So I know what it takes to design. What you are doing! Don't listen to all of the Nay Sayers! I do not see them on UTube with their own channel. Designing / Fabracating things the way you do. ThatTakes Talent!!! You are always humble! And yet do GREAT WORK! You have a lovely family. And are doing what you love. And that's all that matters my friend. We enjoy your show. Never stop! I would be honored to purchase a scaled down version of your original. So please contact me. If you ever want to make me one. I wish many prayers and blessings to you and yours!

[@NMranchhand]

Allow me to ask: how did you KNOW your error (slanted riser) produced NO advantage? Some of history’s great discoveries came from fabrication blunders (not to deride the value of careful design, you know). Why didn’t you fire it without the jacket once?

[@AchillesWrath1]

You could have bought 10 plasma cutters by now with all the grinder disks you've used.

i like the videos. Do u use a rocket stove 4 the house heating? Keep up the good work.

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Thanks mate, no I don't sadly as we are renting plus we live in QLD so it's really hot most of the time. We only have 3 months of mild winter.

[@scottr.hampton2474]

At 36:30... Naw, not a mistake. You were planing to balance the weight of the pipe being offset. Of course the top would have to lean inboard. Yeah, I say go with that. LOL

Any chance of getting the drawings for your rocket stove hot water heater

[@wateryblaze]

I would buy a rocket stove from you but not a pair of shoes or boots... not if I have to put them on with that shoe horn. That is actually a cobbler's last... used for supporting the heel or sole of your footwear while repairing it. Descriptions are for the benefit of those who haven't seen or heard of them before. A shoe horn is used for "horning" your tight shoe or boot onto your foot. Apart from that blooper, brilliant as always.

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

When marking out the awkward angles/teardrop/etc. have you ever used the angle iron method for scribing?

[@ChrisHolman]

It's both frustrating and enjoyable to watch because I don't quite see your vision of the final product.

[@billathighwoods4289]

Measure twice!

[@gregorykusiak5424]

The vortex didn’t happen because you failed to take the Coriolis effect into account- watch how water swirls down your drain to figure out the offset. Getting it right will make the stove more efficient.

[@MrAndersJensen]

I thought intuitively that you offset that burn chamber hole on the wrong side, but then I realised you might be located on the Southern Hemisphere where're vortexes spin in the opposite direction.

[@Zigge]

What kind of disk are you using in the metal saw? I've never seen one like this.

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Hi mate, I think this is what you are referring to? It's actually a disk and saw combo. The saw itself spins slower and has a lot more torque than your average friction saw. Great on mild steel, not so great on stainless steel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpe2mKGtZbuNntU

[@douglaspohl1827]

Try and give your design metrics for this build goals. What are you shooting to produce quantity wise for heat or hot water?

[@LittleAussieRockets]

I think you're asking what I'm trying to achieve? Basically I want a stove that is able to match the performance of the first water heater that I made, that is being able to heat 205 litres of water to 67 degrees C in 1.5 hrs, but having a more robust and serviceable heat exchange. I want this thing to be tough enough that if you used it everyday during winter it would last. You're a details man, that's why I like having you around.

[@douglaspohl1827]

@@LittleAussieRockets Delta-T =153-42F say abt 111F for 55 gallons = 111 F x 55 gallons x 8.34 lbs/gallon = ~51,000 BTUs or @6,500 BTU/lb of cordwood = 8 lbs. assuming 100% efficiency. Real world if 67%E = 11 lbs. of seasoned firewood. Shoot for one pound every 5-6 minutes if hand-feeding else load 11-12 lbs if batch box for ONE hour timing. Its all about the efficiency of the fuel to provide heat that the exchanger can transfer into water. Are you planning to thermal "siphon" or pump it? Maybe surprise us with a tiny airlift? Quick & dirty solution is a 30/55 gallon barrel stove with a baffel plate inside to batch burn those 11 lbs of firewood while you prepare a nice dinner on top of the barrel stove (flat cook plate)... then enjoy a nice hot tub soak in part of the hot water after dinner... life is good!

I really enjoy watching you work. How do you decide when to use the stick welder vs. TIG?

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Thanks mate. Stick welding has a tendency to stick to whatever you are welding if you get a bad start so anything that's light and precise I will use a TIG. If I just need to lay down a lot of metal I'll use a stick.
