    Designing an efficient space heater based on ethanol

    I mean thhat, the air mixing causes more oxygen to produce a cleaner, and yes larger flame. :)

    Designing an efficient space heater based on ethanol

    Thanks but can't I use regular ethanol? It's very cheap 5l is about 10 dollars here :)

    Designing an efficient space heater based on ethanol

    The vortex mixes oxygen into the flame maximizing the flame burn increasing the height to 2x the height (burns hotter and cleaner). Thank you for your input :)

    Designing an efficient space heater based on ethanol

    I'm using ethanol, with the vortex it should be 200% more efficient. The outside of this mineral foam insulated building should be between 17 to -2c. The building is 25msq and the height of the room is 2.6m tall. Thank you

    Designing an efficient space heater based on ethanol

    You're right about opening the door but since there's heat storage, it will heat the room for 6h after the heater is off or the two other options which is my ion generator (doesn't produce ozone) or an exhaust pipe insulated to go out my window. I respect your input but a bit more optimism would...

    Designing an efficient space heater based on ethanol

    The exhaust gases are co2 and h2o so as long as I open the door for a little bit or have an exhaust pipe it should be fine. I have a true ion generator, no ozone generated so I should be fine. I've actually designed an ethanol vortex flame I will probably use instead. It's simpler and even more...

    Designing an efficient space heater based on ethanol

    This heater incorporates a vortex for a 200% efficiency increase. A base covered with ash (won't start a fire in the room), Terakota flowerpot coated with graphite (10c increase in temperature). A two layer can (two cans) with a forever wick between them. Ethanol flame source A 40cm...
