Vortex Rocket Stove Pt 1

Thanks for the commentary. Personally I think it adds enormously to how enjoyable the video is, but also how instructive it is. Hearing you talk about the “why” of what you’re doing, rather than just watching you doing it, helps those of us with minimal experience and knowledge. Great to listen to an Australian accent!! Thanks and please keep sharing your ideas with us.

You are a light bulb, positive energy and support sustain the brightness of your creativity. The less than significant trollers spew only the obstacles of negativity and Vail the radiance of your accomplishments. Do not subject yourself to giving them even a voice. In a word or two of every message you will know their intention, stop delete comment without finishing the message. You take the time to read it you are letting them slow and doubt the flow. You are great and do not change. Thank you in advance for making your craft seem simple enough anyone can do it.

Here’s a quick tip about scribes. Almost all tri-squares come with a built-in scribe but most people don’t seem to know it’s there. That thing that looks like an adjustment knob pulls straight out (they’re rarely threaded). Give it a sharp tug. You now have between your thumb and index finger a scribe that looks like an upholstery needle. It is case hardened and intended to make scribe lines. Push it back in when you’re done. There’s a spring to hold it in place for next time. You’re welcome.

Loved the rambling. People who don't like to hear you talk can just turn the volume down. Really enjoyed the content. Keep it coming.

Just keep your videos in your own style mate, theres always gonna be arm chair critics. love your videos

Regarding your question about the length, you speaking, etc.: This is the first of your videos I've ever seen, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

I like the length of the video and the instructions are what I come for. You’re a great teacher. We can always fast forwards if we need to. Thank you sir.

Excellent demo. I appreciate the extra talking as it allows you to provide the details that educate those of us who aren’t just watching to watch, but may want to attempt all or part of your projects. I am about to attempt my first welded rocket and watched to learn more (I usually make them out of concrete, cob or firebrick). The welding tips (reverse polarity) and the basket bending jig were of great value, that and your sense of humor. I need to head over to Jody’s channel as well. Keep doing your videos they way you want to. Like you said, you can’t please everyone. Keep up the excellent work.

My friend, I personally appreciate your methods and your character that you have shown us on video. I can watch and listen to a genuine person while I'm in the garage. Please, if you really don't want to, just be who you are. I appreciate all your efforts and time. Thank you

As a fireguard in a yard I watched welders for many hours, but I never learned more about this art then here and now. Thanks dude!

your new microphone is awesome . and if some one says for you not to talk the can just stop that.. i know as a builder i talk things out as well. also hearing your thoughts helps true viewers that want learn more insight . your very smart man and please dont stop trying new things cause thats how we all can see things transform. ps your family is awesome!!

Your commentary of process and thoughts are intrinsic and absolutely necessary, it really is quite entertaining and, of course, very educational. Keep on doing what you are doing. Thank you for sharing.

Great video, I really like the design work and hearing your thought process. Can’t wait to see more. 👍

I really appreciated the way you take your audience along on your journey. You show us clearly what you did AND explain your thoughts behind what you are trying to achieve. Thanks. I am interested to see/hear what you have to report, as you continue with your future designs.

Your video is just fine , in fact I watched it from begging to end .. this is a awesome build .. I made one 2 years ago nothing compared to your build but then again I had a grinder, and I never welder before in my life , so I bought a little cheap one and I built my stove ... I use it for heat everyday so it has held up quite well . For mine I made different inserts for different fuel , so far I have an insert for sawdust , wood pellets, used motor oil, and of coarse wood . I put a handle on the back of mine for traveling purposes if need be it's centered for even weight. I have heat ducting that goes to the roof, then it runs the whole length of the living room cuts across and the runs all the way back the other side and then out . I live in Canada and this bad boy has kept me warm, well this is my 3rd winter now .. It's not as convenient as a normal heater that a house has , one you can just turn on and forget about ... I am constantly filling and timing burns , also I can't just leave with it on . Well I guess I could but that's not my style , I make sure she's out before I leave . Other than that free heat is where it's at.. The vortex really has my attention and curiousity if you don't mind can you explain it a little more , like how it works and stuff like that . If not I will do my own research it's no problem ... Thanks great video

1) You make cutting with an angle grinder an art form. Mad respect! 2) Your subtle humor is hilarious. 3) Keep up the good work as this is very entertaining and educational. Thank you!

Have to say really like Your humor and the skills You have learned . Thanks for sharing . Blessings to You and Yours !

Sound quality was great. Talking about what you are doing and thinking is great, because it helps us to understand why you are proceeding along a specific path. I like this because it really helps me to walk through the process rather than to simply watch whatever you are doing.

I really like your simple approach. I have always turned down by DIY videos where something gets fabricated in a professional workshop. It is kinda let dow that makes me think: "I can never achieve this since I don not have the equipment needed". When looking your videos people realise that you do not need much to be able to fabricate stuff. Thank you for inspirational videos.

some of the best stick welding I have seen in my 75 years .. I have a theory on the vortex . Based on my model gas turbine combustion chamber experiments . Your thoughts are going in the right direction . a straightforward Vortex is nice .. but the rotating direction swiftly accelerates the burning gases . this acceleration is counter productive . The secret is to achieve a torroidal vortex which rotates slower imagine a doughnut shape, Larger volume , slower flow allowing for more thorough mixing . attached to the bottom of the riser .where the fuel and airflow is mixed prior to exiting into the riser... your ideas are showing excellent logic .congrats.
