Guys/Gals – once again, if you want answers to your questions, then please
comment on the post this video is embedded in (see link in ‘About’ section
below the video above). The people with the answers you want won’t see your
comments here….
Seems easy enough
How do you get the copper tube inside the tank?
How do you get rid of the ash?
How do you clean the chimney chamber?
Seems to me that the internal copper tube is not needed. You could just use
the mass water for your main water. For that matter you could just burry
the copper pipe wrapped around the stove pipe like other mass heater videos
do. If you had no power you could have a fill barrel up high and a hot
water reservoir buried or insulated with cobb down low. If your shower is
lower then the fill reservoir then you would have water pressure. If not
you could always use a hand pump and pump it to another drum for temporary
storage for immediate use. If you insulated everything you may not even
need to rush.
doubles as a water purification system.
isn’t it bad to use pine cones because of the soot it puts in the “chimney”
or does it get trapped by the water…but then could it clog up the lower
holes??
how would I convert this to a hot water furnace
what about the ash?
I apologize. The last sentence should read as the following, “If something
was to go wrong with the cold water during a shower then you’re looking at
severe burns”.
Super Cool
Is there any reason why a copper water cylinder couldn’t be used for this
purpose. Stainless steel cylinders are rarely used in the UK but can be
picked up as scrap for between £20 and £50. An indirect cylinder would
already have a coil of copper inside.
Attach a collector to steam vent and you have distilled water.
I think Heat Exchanger is the description here
Great video. I feel like I could do that!
Nice!
how do you perform surgery on a stainless steel tank to insert the piping?
Building mine tomorrow!
How long does it take from lighting before the water is ready to use ?
Hi all. As the builder and designer of the hot water system in the vid and
a few more since i will try to answer your questions. So firstly
cattlewrangler if you dont add water it wont go boom in fact the way it is
designed the laws of thermodynamics would have to be suspended for it to go
boom. For a little more info check out my original article
http://permaculturenews.org/2012/11/23/rocket-stove-hot-water/ . Emerson in
fact its like buying a race horse to do the work of a draught horse. Many
years ago we were building these for remote area camps (they were called
donkeys) but without the heat transfer coil. They would typically get hot
much quicker because they usually had a huge fire under them. Adding the
rocket means the water heats slower than the old donkeys but uses vastly
less wood. The rocket gets high efficiency because the combustion is
compleated prior to drawing off any heat this is the fundamental difference
between rocket stoves and conventional wood combustion technology.
Absolutley there is some back drafting because a flue was never installed
on the heater to finish it. Adding a short length of flue would correct
this however typically the heater draws well enough. Recent testing i have
done with cooking ovens in New Zealand suggests that putting baffling
around the barrel to make the hot gasses follow a more convoluted path will
greatly increase efficiency as i am now getting temps above 500 deg c in
these oven post baffling and 300 deg c prior to baffling. Doireallyneed1
weight for weight water has over 5 time the heat storage capacity of cob
and is a far better conductor. Also because it boils at 100c the water in
the outer tank will vent harnlessly to atmosphere, but because the water in
the coil sits at a higher pressure (its coming from a pressurised source)
it has a slightly higher boiling point (basic physics) so it can never
boil. Putting the coil in cob and heating the cob is inneficient but when
it gets above 100c the cob will just keep getting hotter and eventually the
water in the coil will rise to its boiling point and then it will go boom.
I used bricks for the feed and burn tunnel insulated with a clay sawdust
mix which is reasonably insulating when the sawdust burns out leaving
voids. The heat riser is steel insulated with a perlte jacket. Steel doesnt
hold up well on the intake side of rocket stoves(rapid oxidisation) due to
the extreme heat and some unburned oxygen however it seems to last better
in the heat risers because by this time all oxygen is consumed and so far
less oxidation(rusting) occurs. Hope this clarifies things a little but
check the article link above for more info.
Cheers Tim
How often do you add the water to the barrel around the copper?
What happens if you forget to add extra water? BOOM!
Why would you want a hot water heater? What about a cold water heater? Or
maybe a hot water cooler?
One question why is it people keep calling these hot water heaters.
For if the water is hot you need not heat it,so there for it is a water
heater !
Good 1 i love it
Man, I wanna unlock this guy so bad and this has only wet my appetite haha
With volus in your team healing you PD is awesome!
PD is good, but it’s not the strongest, I mean it can be crowd control if
you aim it at the ground but…
Good to know you like this character. He is one of my fav vanguards but
poor fellow gets so much hate on BSN..
Definitely. Let me know if you want to be involved in more vids. The next
are Team Platinum games.
From my experiences if you have less than 1000N force its possible. If the
Phantom has already melee’d they can even instant kill you out of the
charge if it isn’t strong enough to stagger them. Hope that helps.
Sorry, but the slash breaks the flow of this character. Not to mention it’s
only decent usage is behind walls cause you get no damage reduction during
the long animation. I used to use the slash but just became a bit too
boring and PD is a great power.
While the Talon is a good choice and certainly more interesting than the
Acolyte, the Acolyte lets you charge and fire between PD shots and reliably
set up combos. And while running BS over health is probably ‘better’ if
you’re not running shield boosters, the extra health/shields lets you play
bolder, which is hella fun! Slayer has been my favey since I unlocked him.
He really only lacks boss killing power, and that’s only compared to boss
killing classes. He’s basically invincible to minions!
Phase Disruptor Slayer, my god, my most favorite Vanguard. Second place is
the Pheonix. Honestly, this character needs more attention 😀
Ahh, I see you got one of those hydra pipe glitchers, did you report them?
Do you know if it still does any good to report cheaters?
Good playing with you, snIphntn.
Does anyone want to play me3 I’m not good but I like this game. GT: GH05T911
idea for a challenge I1,which turret is best for kills,we all know you pros
like the geth one for sheild restore,but i had a turian sab one set up for
rockets the other day and i got 50 kills with it on a bronze match,so i
wondered what would happen if you got 4 of the same dropped in the same
place would it be the same as having a 5th man.As youve got the connections
maybe you could arrange a team to play with each of the turret users and
find out whos turret is best.Thanks
I charged an enemy beside a phantom and I landed in the stabbing animation.
Enemy red? Wtf xD
Hey I love all of your vids and I was wondering if u wanted to do gold with
me add me revertantsix16
I use my slayer the same way.
Can you play a platinum game with a quarian soldier and nothing but a
predator pistol?
all i can say is fuck slash powers, animation looks like a fool dancing for
the king.
I haven’t used Biotic Slash a single time to this day… I just love the
Face Meltor too much 😀
Can phantoms preempt your biotic charge like the guardians and melee you as
soon as you contact them?
I still dont have evry character and every gun in this game
Essentially the power cord for the 360. It went kaput on me a couple weeks
ago and I have to wait for a replacement. I just call it a brick cause
there’s a rectangular brick in the middle of the cord.
Anything new coming soon?
Really nice job, love the build
