The Ultimate Heating Solution ! - Diesel Heated Wheelbarrow.

[@RIMHQ-YT]

This is a great idea, if we all did this it would be much warmer outside Wich we all would enjoy now during the winter. So let's build and make it summer already.

Thanks a million on the wood blocks that come with the mini lathe. I need to redo my bathroom floor and those look just right. I can just scrap all the lathes to make the money back. Good thinking!

[@loweredexpectations4927]

🤣 You and me Jacob... We are the clever ones.

[@dustinwild]

Once you figure out the exact clearance tolerances on the printer, threads become a little easier. But before that, just add like 2-4% scale in your slicer to the nuts, that's usually enough for them to fit, depending on how tight they are. Very fun design man! Love that reuse of all the shipping material from the mini lathe!

[@loweredexpectations4927]

I had thought about adding clearances, or trying to change it in the slicer... I'm sure it's also easier with more coarse threads. I was surprised at how well it actually worked, and with a lathe it was pretty easy to correct the threads ... tho that may have been a fluke ! You gotta make use of what you have around 🤟 Mini lathe crate was about 80% of the build ! haha.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

I have had this guess enough times now that I'm thinking I should have made it for this. Haha. It wouldn't be very effective for this, as melting ice and show takes a huge amount of energy, but when has something not working ever stopped me from trying in the past ?

Thanks Trevor ... Good to hear form you. I was pretty amped up to start messing with crankshaft parts and get some stuff done that wasn't heater related...I did manage to make a video about a mini lathe. Not sure if you saw my Patreon post... It was disguised as a diesel heater post, so you may have missed it. The next few months are going to be very uncertain. I may have to sell my house. Not ready to talk about it on KZbin yet.

I didn't have the time, energy or opportunity to film it in use.... I may actually do something very uncharacteristic and ask a friend to film me using it... To be fully appreciated, It needs to be filmed either from a tripod or from 3rd person view.

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Nice 👌 I have mine mounted on the back of my pedal bike. I was going to get my bike converted into an e-bike, but it was cost prohibitive. So mounted my spare CDH (Chinese diesel heater) onto a rear carrier platform. Sounds great when I’m peddling my knackers off. I turn the heater on and it scrolls up to full output. Thing is I am not getting enough thrust from the heater. To help propel me along any faster. So I need to go back to the drawing board and come up with some mods, that’ll help me pick up some real speed. Summary thus far……sounds pretty cool as it winds itself up to full output. But that’s about it……Big sad 😢😢😢 as I was expecting more.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Haha... I love this. It sounds like a jet engine... but does not perform like one 🤣. You need a pulse jet engine !

[@kurtzxcvb3481]

If you're going to run outside you need to have the return air not being pulled from outside you'll need additional hose otherwise you're heating the outside air up instead of reheating the air as it circulates this will suffer inefficiency You're probably use it for heating a house or portable heating external

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Thanks for the comment !! As you will see in the follow up video... Recirculating air is not really something that can be done for this intended purpose ... but you are 100% correct about recirculating being more efficient !

You can still wheel a half a load of concrete and stay warm on a jobsite now with that. Good stuff, is that the 2Kw on there?

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Haha... Yeah... it's probably the best idea I've ever had. It is a small body 2kw. I checked the other day and it appears as though it will consume about 211 ml of fuel per hour... so actually a 2kw, haha.

[@stollyfiles]

Hi, you really need to change that fuel line for the more rigid white nylon type, that kind swells & absorbs the pulses from the pump, it's know to cause problems.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Thanks for the comment. I have also heard this from many KZbinrs and it has spread all over the internet. This, however, is not true. I plan on doing a test that proves this to be totally false, but the basic reasoning is that these heaters do not run with any pressure in the fuel system. The pump is there to meter / regulate the amount of fuel flow, but there isn't any pressure at all. I have worked on these heaters for many many hours and can tell you for certain that they do not have any sort of injection nozzle or restriction. Without a restriction, you can't have pressure. I hope this makes sense. I don't expect you to believe me over anyone else, and I will be making at least one video to drunk the fuel line myth. Cheers, and thanks again for commenting.

I'm getting a lot of good ideas from people guessing. Even if this wasn't the original plan, it does seem like a great idea... I think I'll have to ask vevor for 2 5kw heater next... then we can make some real heat.

[@ikke218]

hello, i have bought a 8KW diesel heater vevor, but the fuel pump is a 12v22 . a pump 12v 22 has a 0.18 -0.25l/h , but vevor said that a 8KW till 0.64l/h. VEVOR Air Diesel Standkachel 12V 8KW Luchtverwarmer Air Diesel Standkachel Luchtverwarmer 0.16-0.62 L/uur . So have they sell me a 2KW heater instead off the 8KW.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

This is true, I try to inform people if this in the description of all of my videos. If you look in the description of this video, you will see that it says " 8kw (same as 5kw)" for the affiliate links. Unfortunately, as far as I know, no one actually makes an 8kw heater. I also have 2 heaters that are listed as "8wk". Many people have tested many heaters from different manufacturers, and demonstrated with basic math, that they are all in fact, much closer to 5kw. The only option for this style of heater, larger than 5kw, is to purchase a substantially larger one. I believe David McLuckie has tested a few 12 or 16kw units that he got from banggood or aliexpress. These units did not output the claimed amount, but they were more than 5kw. From my understanding, based on my research, some manufacturers have pushed the pumps paste their designed HZ to achieve slightly more heat, but this generally causes the heater to build up soot and also causes carbon monoxide issues. I purchased my first heater with the assumption that it was in fact 8wk... I did the calculations to figure out if it would be enough for my needs... I was not every impressed when I heard the news that I'm telling you... but in the end I am very happy with the product. I would be much happier if they would stop advertising them as 8kw.

[@blacksheep5736]

What do you think of the controller you use there compared to the one with the dial?

[@loweredexpectations4927]

The controller with the dial gets the job done.... It all depends on what you are doing with the heater. The Dial type is basic and it works. Basically it sets the pump speed and fan speed (at the same time) and it will burn X amount of fuel over X amount of time. That is, however, all it does. No more no less. The one I have can be set to come on at certain times or below a certain temperature. You can look at your phone and see if you forgot it running 🤣 turn it off or on, check battery voltage, room temp etc... so it really depends on what you want / need. If you can save some money and don't need the extra features, then go for it.

Easy there fella... you know the rules of the street... You gotta get it funning first, before you put the fancy ...wheel on it, but duly noted !

[@mnp3713]

hmm perhaps a mobile heater for icefishing, or for heating a tent. i dont think its for construction sites because it has battery, but then again the battery is too small for camping or fishing use.

[@loweredexpectations4927]

Great guess !! It May actually get used for that at some point. The battery is just what I had, but it actually lasts for several hours. I ran it for 2 hours and it may have dropped 0.2V Of course a bigger battery is always better.
