Endless Heat for Your Home Without Electricity. We watched a YouTube video and got inspired to build our own convection heater that can heat up our 220 square foot cabin while only burning oil candles. The original video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZnayOUQN28) is heating up a very small space with only four candles that eventually burn down too low and have to be adjusted or replaced. We are using oil with ten candle wicks which will remain burning at the same height even if the oil container runs low. We used JB weld to join all of the pieces together. This is what your heater should look like. We had someone make us a piece of high heat resistant oven glass which we installed over a high heat resistant gasket. We installed a second gasket on the inside to seal the door. We are using a concrete board as a fire resistant material which we painted black and installed onto the wall. We 3d printed this support for a standard computer fan which will be used as blower for our heater. We used a metal container as an oil storage container. We installed a small window so that we can monitor the level of the oil. We are using ten braided oil lamp wicks. We will install our heater in our 220 sq. foot cabin which is approximately the same size as two standard bedrooms at 10 ft. X 11 ft. A cold from came through and the temperature dropped. We are using steel gutters for our heater. First, we are tracing out four different holes that need to be cut out. We are removing the rubber seal which will be replaced with a heat resistant gasket. We built an oil lamp convection heater that can heat up a two bedroom cabin for less than $5 a week. The heater can reach up to a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The heater can work on different kinds of oils which can be purchased very inexpensively at a wholesale price of $2.50 a gallon. Winter is approaching and running a space heater is an expensive option so we want to replace it with our convection heater. We are using a 50 caliber metal ammo box for this project. The computer fan runs at only twelve volts DC and 1.6 amps. It can also run on a twelve volt DC battery. The fan is very efficient in circulating the air through the heater to quickly heat up the space. It also keeps the heater cooler while operating. The heater also works as a lamp, giving off light in the night. The cool feature this heater has is that it gives the appearance of a natural gas fire place. The thickness and length of the wick and the level of oil in the storage container can affect the intensity of each flame. If the wick is too long, it will produce a lot of smoke and soot and a lot of unburned fuel. That being said, things need to be properly adjusted. Also, different oils will produce different results. If you’ve made it to this point, please subscribe to the channel. I would really appreciate it as it helps support me make new videos just like this one. All the parts for this project were about $100 combined. Most of these parts were purchased from a regular hardware store. The ammo box was purchased on Amazon. We are very impressed with the final outcome of the heater. It performs a lot better than what we imagined. We ran the heater every day, for seven days, twelve hours a day. Each time, the oil level on the storage container drops about 1/2-3/4”. The storage container can hold half a gallon of oil, and it takes approximately a week to go through a whole gallon of oil. The heater is giving off a tremendous amount of heat. <br>Website: mindoftesla.com

This isn't exactly without electricity, because they have the fan, however you could get natural convection by having the intake pipe have access to outside air, and because heat rises it will create its own fan per se.

@KEEPER: its a stupid clickbait, it's not endless and not free, it just passes chimney heat through a heat exchanger.

@Lucifer333: yeah, your right about that, lol that part was clickbait i hate to admit, even i questioned this. it's still a cool thing though.

@Lucifer333: the only thing i can change is the title, i didn't make the video or the thumbnail, but i know why they did it, it's click bait, it got you to be gullible enough to click and see the video, but outside of this did you learn anything?

@KEEPER: no, I am MSc applied physics from tudelft.nl , so i knew it was clickbait, but did not know if this was s9me dumb free energy tesla shit.., thermodynamics is my thing, that being

@Lucifer333: I know thermodynamics quite well, so nothing learned, I knew it was nonsense, but not if it was clickbait or real nonsense like tesla infinite energy shit..

@Lucifer333: well it wasn't the free energy tesla shit lol, but just a more practical way to heat your home in a realistic way., it's not free and it's not endless, as far as i can tell the basic construction does work as it's just a miniature version of a fireplace. so it does indeed work, but not what the click bait implies.

I'd make this a lot simpler - like 6 or 8 x 3/4" or 20mm ID Alumium tubes with flared ends, over 6 or 8 wicks.

Put the wicks in a tank and have the tank with an independent air intake - from the outside - burned - heat dumped - exhausted out side.

It's nice but with all oil wick burners, the wicks choke up with resins under the flame and soot inside the flame, making up a dripper, type feed into a preheated air stream, so once it's hot it keeps the oil self igniting... and then with an adequate air supply in and hot air supply out and a controlled or throttling of that, you can get the right, slightly rich mixture that is HOT and can sustain the reaction.

This current set up while easy - lacks the sophistication of better air fuel ratio control and cleaner combustion.

You could also do this with a single 9 or 12mm OD wick, like cotton sash cord, with no synthetic inner, and introduce a stepped out tank and wick stem, going up into a swirling combustion chamber....

I agree, and I like your additions as well, I was thinking some of the same things when I saw this.

Better than burning cow shit for warmth.
