Endless hot water without electricity!

hey folks engineer 775 here wanting to show you on a rainy day I chose to stay on purpose how to make hot water using a thermal siphoning process the coil that I've made invent this with with ice you can do with sand there's a video I've done on this project I've placed it inside some stovepipe drilled two holes on the other side and I've adapted it down to four inch this is all inexpensive stovepipe from a local hardware store and then some copper tubing for the thermal siphoning process and what I'm going to be doing is as the water comes into this hot coil it will rise up in the coil and dump into the top of the water heater I picked up somebody was throwing it away so I have the ability to heat that 40 gallon water heater with some sticks that people were throwing away so this is a do-it-yourself hot water on demand heater that could supply you plenty of water hot water that is in a grid down situation so let's get her started and it's it's raining it's starting to pick up a little bit but I want to show you what you can do with some scraps things that have been scavenged and things thrown away but really focusing on what the little stove texto can do for you oK we've got the fire I'm going pretty good here in our stove I just want to show you what kind of temperatures we're getting there's 540 540 degrees that's where the coil is sitting right in there five I think 556 565 165 was the max temperature I think I'm getting right now and I removed some of the stack I had too much stack on there I was getting the too much airflow and I wasn't getting the heat I do have a diffuser plate little camp sitting out here right above the coil to keep the heat down in this chamber so I get a good heat exchange again the cold water is coming from the bottom let me show you that and so standard water heater so I have just cold water from the drain and I just teed off go to shut off in a check valve and then the cold water goes and it hits the bottom of the coil and then it rises up in here so this is uh you can hear some gurgling let's see here and this thing will burn your hand off it's so hot that gurgling that's hot water going to the top you can see this thing shake a little bit as it thermo siphons and pumps what I'm going to do is just connect this line because you really can't see and I'll be back all right so I've disconnected this line and I'm gonna bring it down here to the side I'm trying to burn myself so alright I pulled this thing down and you see this thing spitting water okay I don't you see the steam coming off but this is being done without electricity folks this is just through the heat put some hot water in this in this bottle yeah it's not a fast process but there's no there's no electricity there's no pump in this water you see the steam rolling off it it's gonna melt this plastic bottle oh yeah so and that's that's very very hot so you can see my on-demand it's steaming this is just a natural process and this you see a steam coming off it but that that is hot now what water was about 180 degrees so yeah this can be a little dangerous but you need hot water for your dishes or for laundry and this thing is just pumping away and it goes a little steam so it's kind of like a roll coffeepot we're just percolating here you feed a little bit in that thing burn and there's no electricity on here folks it's just pumping pumping water by using heat I think you can see the steam coming off so it would take a little while but I you know a half hour and I can if I it's all up to how good a fire stoker you are but I can I can heat that water heater up in about 30 minutes and towards the end though obviously the water is getting warmer that comes into the bottom of the coil so the differential isn't as much right now the water is like sixty degrees coming into the coil coming out at you no steam see the steam coming off real hot water coming off of there so that's it that's the do-it-yourself stove tech fire a nice on-demand water heater that along enough title okay I think that's it so we're just pumping water so as long as you have a container of water and you hook up a thermal siphon to a heat source you would have hot water and it's an often-overlooked prep for those preparing some people spend a lot of money doing solar hot water heaters on demand you got propane you know me I love the wood wood and water and you can do just about anything you need all right I think that's enough I hope I explained it well enough go back and look at the bending the copper tubing with ice still tweaking this to get some better output I'm gonna step up the copper tubing this is only this is three-eighths if I did it in half inch I would get probably 40% more hot water definitely 40% more surface area so but this is sufficient you know you do this for a half hour and you're mixing this if you mix that with some cold water you're in good shape but again this thing is pumping without power I think I've covered it ok let's talk this fire and again now it's no sense wasting it so I'm gonna hook it back to the water heater but just hope you understand that that water would be going into the top of the water heater the cold water would be coming out and it would keep doing that until that tank equalized or normalized to as long as you have that fire going it would ultimately just keep going up and up and up in temperature until the Popoff blew so be careful when you're doing these things this is the way people used to heat water engineer 775 signing off you
