Torpedo Waste oil burner Lighting and Metal melting.

The is the torpedo oil burner that was featured in earlier Vids. It was designed to be started and pre heated with gas. A friend wanted to know if it were possible to start the thing on diesel or Kero. I didn't think it would be easily but I had no trouble.
I did not push the lit paper back far enough into the burner initially but once that was done and the rest of the paper caught alight, it came up very easily.
The fuel used was Waste Vegetable oil but any non inflammable liquid fuel can be used . The burner is suitable for Metal melting, water heating, Home or shed heating and other applications where a reliable source of stable free heat is needed.

I'm back, having watched the required instructional material. These metal melting videos are my favorites. Thanks for making this world a better place.

[@larryswindcatcher]

Another brilliant video; nice demonstration that your system works with either a front or back induced burner. You are a genius for simplification of a complex problem and your solution has a very wide range of applications."Talent hits a target that no one else can hit; Genius is hitting a target that no one else can see" Arthur Schopenhauer.

[@glumpy10]

+larryswindcatcher Thank you for the kind words. Very much appreciated.

[@jjbailey01]

Years later... Still the best Oil Burner channel out there. We need a blooper reel.

[@glumpy10]

Thanks mate, Much appreciated. In all honesty, I really can't think of any bloopers other than when I burned through the Crucible in the brick furnace and the ally ran out on the concrete. Other than that, there is nothing that went wrong or I haven't shown. The only other one that comes to mind is when the burner was backfiring which I did a Vid on and that was a feature not a fault!

[@wildliferescue8784]

with pleasure my friend. be sure to hit record. lol. We love your videos. I've been passing this link onto all of our friends and costermer mailing address. Many thanks for the great entertainment. From all of us here at THE CB SHOP OF COLEBROOK NH

[@micaeldowds6901]

great work Jerry

[@safetyharborfirearms]

Great info - plan to build one for my dad who wants to start his casting furnace back up on the cheap with waste motor oil.

[@glumpy10]

+Walter Keller Check out my other upright burners. I usually use them for melting. If you want to use this one for a furnace, I'd put 2" inlet pipe on it so you can have plenty of air and heat. A lot of people go to a lot of needless complication and expense for burners which is not at all necessary. They just don't seem to accept that simple and straightforward is actually better.

[@kbbacon]

Good to see this critter in action, again!!

[@glumpy10]

+kbbacon I'd almost forgotten what a nice, simple burner this thing is. I have been thinking to build a new, higher power one and add secondary air as well. I thought I might be able to get the flame to really shorten down and have it just produce hot air out the end.

[@oilburnercanada1760]

Great video. I like how theres a graveyard of old burners in the back round as well haha. I got my boiler just about finished and ready to be installed. Only missing piece for my burner is a blower that will move enough air. I also installed a ignition system off a old oil furnace so i dont have as many issues with the burner throwing sparks anymore. New video on my burner soon. :)

[@glumpy10]

+Oil Burner Canada Not a grave yard, they all still work fine and I pull whichever one out for the job I need to do. I just build them for whatever I need now. Drying oil, different furnaces, for the hot water heater....

[@maryhornbostel6959]

I like the videos, educational and entertaining.

[@captainjerk]

Oh, to be sure, ya gotta nice one there!

[@handyhippie6548]

your safety tips reminded me that you don't have to out run the lion, you just have to out run the slowest in your herd. that's why you don't let the slowest in the herd set the pace, and why the slowest gets the nickname "lunchmeat". lol!

[@thomas1971ish]

I like the way you tell it like is great video looking forward to the next have a great day

[@glumpy10]

+thomas1971ish Thanks mate, Much appreciated.

[@tomharrell1954]

A team of scientist Aussie your full of it Love you!!!

[@supernatureza]

Good friend 💕

[@danielbandera5070]

aplausos para el equipo de científicos jajajaja....divertido, y funciona!!!! felicitaciones

[@Michael-vp4zt]

When you see how much heat a piece of steel can take without failing it's gota make you question their 911 BS. Great demonstration.

[@glumpy10]

I don't have anything with 1000 tons of pressure and stress on it. If you look at blacksmiths they can heat a thick steel bar and bend it like butter. Won't budge when it's cold though.

[@Michael-vp4zt]

@@glumpy10 good point however the burn was a carbonizing flame (smoky) not an oxidizing flame.

[@karmicmessenger]

I saw somewhere a proposal addressing the overpopulation problem; remove all safety labels and the problem will sort itself out. I like your style, no guts no glory.

[@wildliferescue8784]

you are so kind to safety sissies . Make some more vids. I take it that they haven't moved in next door yet????

[@glumpy10]

Yes they have moved in. Illegally. makes me want to do more fire ups. I have noticed that things get a bit excited sounding in there then tend to go very quiet.....

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

I'm going to go look back at the TORPEDO build.. It's been a while, or my memory is getting much worse.... OB, the mic in the safety bunker sounds really good!!!! ;)

[@shawnp3652]

Fucking hilarious. More people need to lighten up like this guy and have more fun with DIY

[@WoodoakWilderness]

just subed, I enjoy your refusal to protect the stupid. ATB

[@glumpy10]

Thank you! Exactly the kind of like thinking realistic Viewer I appreciate having. Stupid is natures way of keeping the population in check. Protecting them so they can live is unnatural and puts the rest of the species in jeopardy! :0)

[@wildbill6976]

a silicon nitride or ceramic igniter (same thing used on commercial oil burners) mounted just past the oil input might work.

[@jessehart5599]

love the sky hooks !!! where can I get some ??? this crazy northern hillbilly loves your channel

[@keithpheasentplucker6379]

awesome you are burnin hot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rodneysrepurposingrecyclin3821]

I get scolded by my wife for laughing so friggin loud when I watch your videos. please keel them coming. I needed a laugh you sir are briliant.

[@KD0LRG]

same here. too funny

[@rodneysrepurposingrecyclin3821]

+KD0LRG oh yes. I laugh my ass off. And agree 100% remove all warning lables.

[@glumpy10]

+Rodman Lyons +KDOLRG Thanks Guys. Your comments have significantly brightened my miserable day. Very Much appreciated.

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

+Rodman Lyons I do quite often as well.. The wife now says: OB PUT OUT A NEW VIDEO, RIGHT?? Even from the next room!!!!!!

[@rodneysrepurposingrecyclin3821]

+Oil Burner you're very welcome. I hope things get better

[@joelbonneville4004]

what kinda pressures are you running the oil at?

[@scottgray7677]

I've had good luck with sawdust and used oil

[@RR2BOX46]

OK, OK, you told me what to do, so off I go to watch a couple more videos. No more shame on me!

[@tomharrell1954]

Fire bug !! LOL LOL

[@user-pn1pm4pg6w]

Тоже буду пробовать такую же

[@user-no1qy9vp3q]

good

[@timothyjones9430]

While I think the basic purpose of this video was achieved as per the torpedo burner instruction, 90% of the value of this video is this guys commentary. Very entertaining and funny while being very informative. Well done sir. (My fav part was the special safety instruction for the idiots and morons not to use this as hiar dryer). hahhahah

[@glumpy10]

Thanks again. If you read some of the idiot comments I get you'll see why I started doing safety tips. Some people can't be trusted with hot coffee so there is no safety warning too basic for some twits. I'm stepping that up in vids from now on. have a look at my latest one and see what you think.

[@chrisgloege1923]

I am supposed to be doing other things. I get the idea behind it all. I thought the commentary would get old, here I am still watching them; Mr Oil Burner, I think you are funny.... I know I don't belong in a neighborhood with swimming pools and tennis courts. I look for a car on blocks or something similar to what you have going on before I even try to live somewhere new. Can't stand people crawling up my ass about how everything is and what is wrong with the way I do shit... (an Amish horse and buggy just drove past to give you an idea of where I am)

[@hotkey180]

That be funny being your neighbour as soon as that torpedo got going so would the bees AND!! some of my COPPER to loll.

[@user-eb3ud7pv2x]

Amazing Do you mix diesel with the oil?

[@tropicolcol]

How do you pump the oil into the tube, thanks Colin

[@kreynolds1123]

😃 Adding oil onto the aluminum at the end didn't add extra heat to "it", cause of phase change your talking about. But no one really cares cause of Bigger flames and all. 😁

[@user-jh9lx3iq5q]

فكرة جيدة اعجبني المبدا

[@linctexpilot8337]

"Oh WOW - look at that! So far, so good" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[@prabup5568]

Sir do we have to heat and pressurise the waste oil

[@sabbsabb9087]

روعه

[@alm7707]

dip a rag in diesel and light it and then stuff it in. turn on fan after a few seconds and turn on oil supply. rags burn way longer than paper

[@glumpy10]

+AL M Correct but I tend to run out of old rags to use now so have to go back to the next best thing!

[@antoniosuarez7632]

oye cuanto tecosto todo ese material gracias

[@bruce72756]

I'd like to know more about that burner in the background. It looks like you were trying to make a room heater. What is it and how did it work (or not)? I'm building my first couple of burner and want to build an oven to melt #2 plastic. Thanks a lot for your channel.

[@glumpy10]

+Bruce Allen The pot Belly? there are a couple of vids on that, have a look at all the others on my channel.

[@billrichardson2256]

👍

[@arjanwilbie2511]

safety tip: the todger looks bigger after shaving, do NOT stick it in the hole for a quick De fluffing.

[@exon02]

Can you explain how yiou feed it whit waistoil ?

[@dimitar4y]

"eh why do we bother" x'D

[@eridgeboy]

strewth mate - goatse incinerator !

[@waitemc]

Good bit a fun....i love doing this type of stuff

[@danielvandertorre368]

do you find that you use more used motor oil with out the siphon nozzle .

[@glumpy10]

+Daniel van der torre This is not like a car engine, there is no efficency variable in the combustion. If the flame is burning without smoke, it's a linear output of heat to fuel consumption. So much oil = so much heat output however you burn it.

[@adamkremer1131]

Have you made a version that you would use in an indoor boiler?

[@glumpy10]

yes. One day I'll get round to Filming it installed. Check my other vids for the different burner designs you could use for this job.

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

Does anyone know if shop vac would give enough air pressure to do something like this?

[@joandar1]

I am sure it will deliver enough air from the outlet to do this. How many watts is your shop vac? I am not sure about the one shown here, it is an induction motor. My shop vac is a Universal type (Brushes) and is nearly 2 HP. I don't think the one shown is that powerful. HP or Watts for the most part is an indication of Volume of air at low pressure as opposed to low Volume at higher pressure as in a compressor for example. Hope that helps. Cheers from John, Australia.

[@godfreypoon5148]

*** SAFETY ALERT *** As can clearly be seen in this video, this process generates considerable amounts of metal oxide debris ("mill scale"), due to the heating of metal components while exposed to the ambient atmosphere. You will be aware that under the current WHS regulations, constructors are required to render their apparatus safe, including provision for foreseeable deliberate misuse. An AS/NZS Standard Reasonable Person is able to foresee that the aforementioned metal oxide debris is able to be swept up using readily available implements, rolled into a big fat joint and smoked. Further, an AS/NZS SRP is able to foresee that the ensuant toking is almost certain to be devoid of any "high", leading to disabling mental anguish and ongoing trauma.

[@wildliferescue8784]

Your vids a re really cool. Keep up the great work. Tell the safety cry baby's ti pound sand.

[@glumpy10]

Shall Do, Thanks heaps!

[@BlackPython_2435]

whats the consumption per hour

[@MaruAdventurer]

Something that might work? Burner heat 'cracks' the oil to vapor. Could not one heat a mass of iron to red heat in say the bbq then stuff it in the tube of a cold burner then apply oil and have the burn going immediately?

[@glumpy10]

+MaruAdventurer you could start the burner on gas and have it going straight off as i originally did and use a lot less gas than the BBQ would to heat the iron.

[@theusconstitution1776]

Build a wood fir beneath the torpedo! Then turn on the burner? Love your work! AND YOUR COMMENTARY! MAKE MORE. 🤔......... make that larger burner you spoke of and..........MELT THE WHOLE DAMN SUBARU?

[@tomharrell1954]

Is the blower running on slow medium or fast?

[@glumpy10]

Yes! It was running flat out.

[@thekillercompanion6617]

Can you melt copper with it if you can can you do it please and Iv made 1 but it dosent start

[@prabup5568]

Sir iam not having a compressor,but do have a blower, will it work

[@jjbailey01]

Yes. No compressor needed for a drip burner. He used a compressor only to make it drip really really well.

[@MAustinP]

where did you go, man??? No new vids for months?

[@joesask857]

how are you doing man

[@007squirreldehne2]

You got to build a wood gasifier no oil . can really get a torch off of that.

[@RR2BOX46]

LMAO, no chance of me being anywhere near it or able to get hurt -- shadow passes over apparatus while hand gesturing to the commentary. Stick it to the safety Nazis! CLASSIC!

[@gregsutton6258]

I would love to be a fly on the wall if you ever get that thing running with a lean oxidising flame, bye bye crucible

[@jackmcminn2520]

Need more air flow

[@RogerMusson]

Another metal melting video and guess what? Yes, it's the Subaru that's the victim! You seem to have an endless supply of Subaru parts (and oil). What do you guys in Aus do to those Subaru's that only makes them fit for melting?

[@glumpy10]

Most people Cook them. Keep driving them with blown head gaskets or busted radiators till the things are half melted by the time they stop. Other thing is people don't check the oil. Very few ever actually wear out, they die through neglect. Wait till you see the big melt Vid I have coming up soon hopefully.

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

Sky hooks xD

[@johnnycat7546]

Where are u last vid is from three years ago

[@nigelharding9223]

I WANT TO MAKEE A TORPEDO OIL BURNER TO GO TO MY FOUNDRY I NEED TO GO TO 2" OD AT THE EXHAUST END OF THE TUBE I,M THINKING ABOUT PUTTING A REMOVEABLE PLUG IN THE TOP TO PUT DIESEL IN TO START IT CHOPPER 316

[@glumpy10]

+Nigel Harding The plug is a good idea. Just weld on a plumbing socket and get the threaded plug for that. you can make the outlet any ID you want and also weld on an extension after the burner proper. it will work just the same.

[@rickstav9024]

Can i buy one of these burners from you pleasr

[@rickstav9024]

@glumpy10 ?

[@danielbandera5070]

do

[@magcentric44]

Glow plugs!

[@alycestapleton]

Julius I. Where ??

[@sailingyemaya9781]

Throw some charcoal in there

[@glennmoreland6457]

Lol

[@mgord9518]

Have you tested if this burner can melt copper or brass?

[@glumpy10]

+Matthew CLASSIFIED I have no doubt it would if driven hard enough or into a closed area such as a brick or insulated furnace. There are other vids with different burners melting copper on my channel using the same fuel and blowers so I see no reason this one couldn't as well.
