archimedes

greetings, mock up forge facilitating the new burner operating test. constructing a hanger for my black pipe air line output controls. my mechanical engineering friends see this burner in action --- amazing the looks i "see" in their eyes; gawking intelligence from men who instantly are transformed to adventurous boys. their girlfriends are impessed with this contraption as well. its power in its most impressionable efficiency . . . . .

sweet intel. thnx i'm on the math of it now --

greetings, thought i would make my 1st post a completion topic & an introduction as well. a lot of internet research led me to 3 choices for gas powered burners. from 3 came the one i selected and i couldn't be happier with Dave Hammer's build process. his video was excellent & i actually was able to source all of those crucial components at my local hydraulic design/supply shop. just 20' away from me! so here are some pics of the forge burner in operation . . . . and here is a pic of my Forge candidate: so i have some questions regarding the size of the forge - 1. i intend to use only 1 burner for now --- this tank is 2' in length so its way too big for a single burner . . . . what would you guys recommend for a max working length for this type of single gas burner? 2. the girth is a little over 3' & since its an ex LP tank -- wall thickness is probably close to 1/4" --- would like to use 2" of Kao-wool or similar with full dimensioned fire brick for the floor. would like to hear comments about my choices for insulation & the brick .. . . . its a great site & my hats off to the very cool, laid back atmosphere of the working k'base of members. and would like to extend my thanks to D. Hammer for his efforts to produce a most excellent video of this particular burner.

greetings, are those stainless steel taper flares? where did you find these for purchase? . . . .or are they also home made . . excellent fab results. learned a lot for my own freon forge design. thanks for posting the excellent pics. i would like to find a place or individual to purchase the stainless steel flare(s) for 3/4 black pipe. (i have given up attempting to order anything from the Zoeller forge website.)
