One author proposed the option of how do it yourself You can make a stove that runs on wood gas. The peculiarity of such a furnace is that it is capable of producing a very high temperature, and it works quite curiously. Due to the high temperature, solid fuel turns into gaseous, then this gas is mixed with air, and at the exit from the stove we get about the same flame that we can see on the gas stove.
Materials and tools for the manufacture of the furnace:
- a large cylinder made of tin (its height should be 28 cm and a width of 25 cm);
- another tin cylinder with a height of 28 cm and a width of 20 cm;
- cooler from the system unit (92 or 80 mm);
- steel tubes (diameter of the order of 30 mm);
- hammer and chisel;
- scissors for cutting tin;
- a hacksaw;
- screwdriver;
- screws of long length;
- Dremel and cutting nozzle.
Furnace manufacturing process:
Step one. Making the body
A large tin can will be used as the case. Kerosene containers are best suited for these purposes. You need to take the can and make a window in it for installing the fan. This is done at the bottom of the can. The width of the window should fit the size of the fan. That is, if we have a fan of 92, then the window needs to be cut out by about 88 mm, that is, a little less so that the fan does not fall into it.
Cutting such a window is easiest with Dremel and a cutting nozzle. It is still tedious to drill 4 holes for screws, with the help of them a cooler will be attached to the furnace.
Now you can talk about a small can, for this purpose a container from compote or canned vegetables is suitable. In it you need to drill a series of holes, bottom and top, as indicated in the photo. It is important that the holes are located at the same distance from each other, otherwise the furnace will either not work at all, or it will work incorrectly.
The diameter of the holes may be different, for example, it may be larger holes, but there will be fewer. Or you can drill a lot of small ones. Of course, the latter option is preferable, since such a furnace will work better.
Subsequently, a cover is taken from a large cylinder and with the help of a chisel, it is necessary to cut a hole of a suitable diameter in it. To do this, take a can of small diameter, put on the lid and then circle around it.
Then you need to insert a small jar into the lid and fix it. This can be done in two ways, using welding or using conventional screws.
Step TwoFan installation
A fan is needed in order to pump oxygen into the furnace. It is installed on special legs, this prevents the melting of its body in case of heating the furnace body. For the manufacture of legs you will need a piece of metal pipe, you can use pens from brushes. The length of the tubes should be about 2 cm, in total four are needed.
Then four long screws are taken and inserted into the fan holes. Then, tubes are put on the free ends of the screws. Well, now the whole structure can be screwed to the furnace body. That's all, on this the assembly process can be considered complete.
Step Three Final build phase
After installing the fan, large gaps will remain, if they are not repaired, the air simply will not be pumped into the furnace at the right pace. For these purposes, a special adhesive tape is used for sealing. Using it, you need to carefully glue all the cracks.
That's all, now the stove is ready for service. You can load fuel into it, any slivers, coals, and the like will do. After lighting up, you need to immediately turn on the fan, after which you can see how interesting this simple device is.
