Finally I'm back. Thanks to everyone for the support and messages over the years. I hope not to let you down with my future offerings and to grow the channel up to and past 100K subs.

This vid shows how controlling waste Oil Burner air and fuel can make for stable running burners. Drip feed is good and well for short runs when you are with the burner but to run it for many hours without constant adjustment, some automation and control is needed. I use a cheap Pulse type car Fuel pump with an electronic Cycle timer. This is the same principal used by the Chinese diesel heaters and one I showed may years ago in other vids.

By being able to feed a precise amount of waste oil into the burner, variations from oil viscosity and tank level changing are avoided. You can also take the waste oil fuel from ground level which makes handling much easier. The Blower is Controlled with a PWM controller available of Fleabay and other similar sites to match the air output to the fuel pump to produce a constant , stable flame.

I hope you all find this video and the ones to come as entertaining as before and thank you again for all the kind messages of support, concern and encouragement. It was much appreciated and extremely Humbling.

I hope to be doing many more waste Oil, Solar and other videos on a regular basis from now on and improve my content as I get back into the swing of things.

Waste Oil burner Flame control and automation.

$Steel melt in Home Brick furnace. Waste oil Burner Furnace Melts steel Crucible and causes runaway of molten metal out the bottom. The oil burner only used about 3L of Waste cooking oil to heat up and destroy the fire extinguisher bottle I had been using to melt Aluminium in the furnace. The Burner was only running at very low power but the concertntration of heat was still enough to melt the steel Crucible. As well as Burning through the extinguisher Bottle in around 4 Minutes, The waste oil burner which was only runing at very low output also burnt through the stainless steel plate on the bottom of the furnace as well as a insulating brick tile from an industrial gas heater and the piece of galvanised iron it was all sitting on. I need to rebuild the Furnace with some proper refractory to stop the bricks melting any further than what they have and also find some thicker steel to make Crucibles with. From what I have been told it would appear that the furnace which is made from ordinary house bricks has easily reached tempratures of 1500-2000oC in the limited time it has been run and with the burner doing no where near its full output.

$Melting Aluminium with brick furnace oil fired. Melting scrap aluminium for casting with the brick furnace using waste oil as heat source. See my other 80 Vids for how to build these burners and how they work. Please dont forget to like, comment and share this vid around. Waste oil provides a cheap and powerful fuel for melting all metals from aluminium casting through to cast iron. This was the first time I have fired an oil burner in a long time but it lit right up and without trouble. As its been a while I thought Id go over the setup of how this works yet again as I am always getting questions and maybe some people will not have seen my vids before. The Aluminium melted much quicker in the furnace with the waste oil burner firing it up than with the wood I tried last time. I could have done better with the wood but using an oil burner if far easier and provides loads more heat with better control. The furnace is made of Common house bricks. I used a clay and sand mix as a refractory but will re do it using some wire as a binder for it to stick to so it does not crumble as much.$

$Waste oil Burner WVO WMO This is a proto type Waste Oil Burner I made that runs on WVO, WMO or any similar waste liquid. This waste oil Burner uses forced air supplied by a reversed vacuum cleaner and gravity fed Veg oil. The drum is a 60L size and the burner will digest more than 12L of oil an hour at full power with this blower. With the concept proven I will build a more substantial version from a water heater tank and line it with refractory and put more coils in it for heating water for the house for winter and my swimming pool. The water in the bucket was 10L and was boiled in under 5 min. There is still a lot of efficiency to be gained from this setup.$

$Aluminium Casting using the Mini Metal Furnace Melting Aluminium in a crucible in the mini Melting furnace. To see all my vids, go to https://www.youtube.com/user/glumpy10/videos. Please feel free to rededit this clip! This furnace is very cheap and easy to make and is ideally suited to those that just want to cast the occasional part and do not want to invest in proper refractory or build a complete furnace. The crucible was made from some thick wall pipe welded to some steel Plate. The burner is the drip style which uses blown air to push the oil into the preheated furnace consisting of a 60L metal drum. The oil burner provides more than sufficient heat to melt aluminum or copper. The brickwork around the drum act primarily as a heat shield rather than for any insulation value. The drum has stood up to over half a dozen fire ups now so is good for a decent amount of time before it eventually burns through. A basic aluminum plate was cast but once the aluminum is melted, a casting of any type can be made in any mold.$
