ENDLESS Heat for Your Home WITHOUT Electricity

built an oil lamp convection heater that can heat up a two-bedroom cabin for less than five dollars 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 two dollars and fifty cents a gallon stay tuned because this video will show you how to make your very own heater at home to save money on electricity winter is approaching and running a space heater is an expensive option so we want to replace it with our Convection Heater we will install our heater in our 220 square foot cabin which is approximately the same size as two standard bedrooms at 10 feet by 11 feet these are the supplies for the project we are using steel gutters for our heater first we are tracing out four different holes that need to be cut out for this project we are using a 50 caliber metal ammo box all the parts for this project were about a hundred dollars combined most of these parts were purchased from a regular hardware store the ammo box was purchased on Amazon we are using a hand grinder to cut up the holes foreign now we are finished cutting out all of the holes we are removing the Rubber seal which will be replaced with the heat resistant gasket we are cutting out a hole in the door so that we can replace it with a window instead foreign we use 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 used the metal container as an oil storage container we installed a small window so that we can monitor the level of the oil we 3D printed this support for a standard computer fan which will be used as a blower for our heater we are using 10 braided oil lamp wicks 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 7 Days 12 hours a day each time the oil level on the storage container drops about half an inch to three quarters of an inch 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 the computer fan runs at only 12 volts DC and 1.6 amps it can also run in the 12 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 fireplace 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 sew and a lot of unburned fuel that being said things need to be properly adjusted also different oils will produce different results we are going to measure the temperature at the output it is around 452 degrees now we are going to measure the temperature of the input it's around 77 degrees the temperature of the exhaust pipe is around 134 degrees the top of the exhaust pipe is 103 degrees the top surface of the heater is very hot and you can probably cook something on it 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 what we really like about this heater is that there are no fumes inside the cabin we get all the heat without all the fumes behind the heater there is a pipe for fresh oxygen intake also there's one inch spacing between the concrete board and the heater for safety a pipe at the bottom is for air intake and the pipe at the top is for exhaust a cold front came through and the temperature dropped outdoor it is 11 degrees right now and indoor it is 79 degrees we have a second thermometer to confirm that
