The waste oil burner is brilliant!!! Two things. 1) I'd be very curious to see you sift the ash at the bottom of the forge. I'd imagine there's about half a mason jar worth of tid bit treasure down there. 2) I wonder if it's possible to hook the air compressor up to some solar panels really cutting the costs down? Waste Oil and Solar seems like a winning combo.
@Okiescrapper
8 ай бұрын
lot's of steel in the ash. I toss it into the shred load. you would have to have a good sized solar setup to run the compressor for any length of time. I have 200 amp hours of battery, and it will draw it down fast. so I would say a guy would need about 2000 amp hours to run the compressor for an hour or two. just a wild guess. on my electric after I hit a certain point on kilowatt's I drop down to 0.06 a KW here in Oklahoma

I saw another youtuber was doing something similar but the drain hole was over a bucket so every drip of aluminum formed into pellets. Thank you for taking the time to make this extensive view and showing us some of your shop as well. I am also glad you mentioned the other video with the siphon nozzle because I wanted some more specific details. Great work scrapper! With the pellet method you don't have to be changing out the muffin pans etc.

yeah I am tossing around a few ideas on how I want to modify the melting pot, I am thinking of a hole under the other hole and take an axel that I have cut it down to just above the wheel weld a plate on it for the bucket to sit on and as the aluminum drip's into the bucket I can turn it with my foot, so the aluminum will hit in different places,
@forest_dweller_2

@@Okiescrapper with the drops dripping into the water bucket you wouldn't have to tend it at all. the pellets would naturally stack up and you don't have to turn anything or replace any muffin pans. Just pour out the water when finished and then when you remelt you can easily add pellets to your crucible. Of course the muffins may be more space efficient to add to your crucible. Anyway, not trying to tell you how to do your own project just sharing what seemed to be a good design I saw on another channel. Thanks for all your efforts in sharing your approaches.

You might try to come up with a holding pit in the bottom, with a way to keep it warm. Then you control the pour into your billet cans with a channel or drain with a plug of some kind so you don't need to be there for every billet as it gets melted.... keeping it hot and keeping your drain system working are probably the most troublesome parts.

@@Okiescrapper Thank you for replying. I've been having a think and hope this might be of help. I'll give general idea... An upgrade on your melting furnace... Do you still have that big U shaped wood? burning stove? Is it at least 8 inches larger than an oil drum? If so... Cut off end pieces.. so they are about a foot taller than an oil drum.. I would get both ends and make 2 of these.. Put a few bricks in wood burner bit to hold oil drum up.. Remove oil drum... Add " Air Creet " to just cover bricks... see below... Put oil drum back in .. fill gap all around with air creet... Might do in stages? Will need to put a load of iron in oil drum or it will float... I'm not sure if to cut holes before or after air creet .. annoying as it might be .. probably after... Air Creet will leak out..... It's easy to drill.... Hole for outlet 6 inches square with a gate from top.. at side of bottom of internal oil drum.. Flame inlet at angle pointing down a bit so it swirls... It might take a bit longer but you could load it up and keep lid on.. with little gap... With most exhaust coming out of liquid metal outlet... Air Creet.. have you heard of it? Cheap and easy... It's cement filled with bubbles... Brilliant insulation... Stiff foam is made with cordless drill with fan blade .. in bucket of soapy water then add cement etc ... Ratio is 70% or 90% bubbles and mix in powder and pour quick... You can make wall panels with it... One channel I found over a year ago... he doesn't say in some of the episodes .. then .. they are filming in his workshop and he has been doing proper tests... His job is working with cement! He is making fire bricks... He also paints them with water glass... Which you can make yourself.. They last quite a while... We just cast a load and when they crack swap for another they are really cheap.. Look up.. Air Creet... The KZitem channel is Honey Dew Carpenter... I don't know how it got that name... Also .. have you watched "Oil Burner" channel? He seems crazy but underneath he is very safety aware... Also uses vegetable oil ... He also uses some burners which get even hotter .. one type uses your burner and it goes into a swirl pot and more fuel is added ... really hot... When it gets warmer I will be casting aluminium name plates for my boat... and some other bits.. I intend to film it and put on You Tube. Hope this all makes sense and helps. Mark.

I would make sure to keep a good distance between the water and the aluminum "spout". If there isn't enough time for the dripping aluminum to form an oxide layer before hitting water it will create hydrogen gas, and an explosion that will send your bucket of water and molten aluminum flying everywhere.

I have also poured aluminum shot once, and didn't have a problem. But it can happen, and there's a video here on KZitem that shows it pretty well. Not a big firey explosion, just an eruption that sent water and aluminum everywhere. If I have time I'll find it and post the link. Not saying it's a bad idea, in fact I plan on doing this exact thing myself. I just wanted to point out that a bucket of water would need to be much further from the furnace than his current muffin tin.

I've melted Aluminum with oil. Gravity feed into a forced air stream(small centrifugal fan). Fan takes a lot less HP than an air compressor. On aluminum if you get it hot it gets "short" and a blow from a hammer can make it shatter like tempered glass. It's effective for getting the iron out of castings.

Just a tip from an old mechanic. You can use a deep well socket or pipe section and a hammer to whack the top of those valve springs and the spring keepers will pop out and the valves will slide right out. This will be an easy way to speed up heating and make cleanup easier afterwards.

in stead of cutting a hole you could just place a piece of angle iron under there and the aluminum would flow down the angle iron into a bucket of water or whatever. I totally get why you would want it to go straight into a muffin pan. those hockey pucks are just the right size. but you could just ship the pellets. I wonder if you could weld a heavy duty brass valve in the hole and open it with a long piece of metal welded onto the handle when you are ready. also a grate at the bottom might help keep it from clogging. love the design everyone else I have seen uses a crucible and tongs to awkwardly pour, I never thought of just letting it pour right out of the foundry.
