Homemade gas burner with your own hands: review, features and how to do
What is a gas burner? Many are interested in the exact answer to this question. In short, then it is a homemade propane device, which has a huge number of advantages over its counterparts. In this article we will try to understand everything exactly, as for the homemade gas burner, and also answer the question "How to make a gas burner with your own hands?»
Firstly, I want to note the main features of this design. These include:
- extremely easy to use;
- no unpleasant and harmful odors, traces of soot and the like;
- compactness, which allows you to use a gas burner almost anywhere.
Design of homemade gas burner
The device of a self-made gas burner is included:
- metal case;
- reducer;
- nozzle;
- fuel supply regulator;
- head;
- node for fixing the gas cylinder.
The metal body includes a special glass, which eliminates the possibility of the flame blowing. This also includes a metal or other handle, which does not exceed 100 centimeters. A wooden holder and a gas hose are installed on top of the handle. The level of gas supply is regulated by means of a reducer and a tube with the valve, as well as its length, respectively. The injector is used to ignite the fuel, in this case, the latter is propane.
Type of fuel, on which the burner works
As mentioned earlier, A gas burner is also called a propane burner. It is easy to draw a conclusion from this, what, usually, propane or a mixture of propane and butane is used as fuel.
This fuel is used to fill a special cylinder, which is attached to the burner.
Production of a gas burner with your own hands
As you can see from the list of elements of the entire design of the device, it is extremely simple and does not have any complicated details, which need to spend a lot of time.
To make the unit with your own hands, it will take some time and effort. And if you study the material correctly, presented in this article, as well as to approach the process with all seriousness and diligence (as work is carried out with flammable substances), then it will definitely be fulfilled.
As practice shows and many living examples, the average man, who has never been involved in the creation of homemade gas burners, across 40-45 minutes after reading the instructions could already boast of a burner, made with their own hands.
How to make a gas burner with your own hands
Here we come to the most interesting process. Before making the burner. The whole process of creating this unit will be described in detail below, taking into account all the nuances and tips.
so, it is worth starting with the simplest, but no less interesting. From the manufacture of the burner handle. In principle, the material can be used any. By the way, it would be wiser to just use a ready-made handle from some old and unnecessary soldering iron. The supply tube is made exclusively of steel.
Do not forget to pay great attention to the size of all the details. Example, the diameter of the burner inlet tube should not exceed one centimeter, and its thickness should vary in the area 2 — 2.5 mm. This tube is inserted into the handle and fixed with glue or other quality material, suitable for this purpose.
Frame
Burner housing, oddly enough, also made of steel. It is best to use a brass rod, the width of which should be approximately 2 centimeters. The divider can also be made of it.
Then a few holes are made for that, to create oxygen circulation in the unit. After all, as everyone knows: fire cannot exist without oxygen. There should be four such holes in total: each with a diameter of about 1 millimeters. They are made in the core of the burner divider.
The next step is to force the divider, with which work was carried out a little earlier, in the case of the gas device. The inner flange should be installed with a gap of about half a centimeter. With the help of this gap in the future will slow down a huge flow of gas, corresponding to the lighter.
Nozzle
As mentioned earlier, the fuel supply is provided by means of an injector, namely, propane, from his balloon outside. To make it you need to use a special metal rod. You will need a 2 mm drill bit for that, to make a blind hole in the nozzle. We need a 4 mm drill bit to jump. The made openings are hammered, and then sharpened with everyone's favorite sandpaper.
After that the hose from a reducer is mounted on the end of a tube, which must be made of special rubber and fabric material. Fastening is a normal clamp with an ordinary screwdriver.
After the mechanism, In your opinion, correctly fixed, it is necessary to set the optimal pressure in the cylinder and supply gas from it. The air from the hose must then be completely expelled. The length of the fire with the correct location and operation of all parts should be close 40-50 mm.
In general, as mentioned earlier, homemade gas burner is a very unique tool, which will come to the aid of any owner in any unpleasant household situations. And the maximum ease of its manufacture can only attract all the priorities even more.
