Beautiful and I love the addition of the little cap for lighting!

Great job here, clear simple instructions, the best Ive seen. Many thanks

I like the idea and this takes me back about 80 years when my own mother used paraffin which was evaporated in this manner, Also the old blow lamps had such an evaporator, I am so surprised that the flame is rather " carbonising flame" and it looks a little sooty. A small er hole would have resulted in a neutral flame, I guess. Congratulations for the workmanship, looking at the manner those hands were curling that copper, well it looks that those hands are rather experienced in handling gently the materials of a craftsman, Well done.

I like your demonstration better than others I've seen. So great! Thanks for sharing 👍

Nice, you did a great job on these. I like that lager jar, the ones I had on hand were the small mason jars, when I tried the full size one it would not build up enough pressure to get the stove going. You did great!

Best example I've seen so far. Thanks!

I made one. I didn't have 1/4" soft copper but I did have 1/4" aluminum pilot tubing so I used that and it worked fine.

great share, thanks; what wall thickness is the copper tube?

[michellebrown]

Great information and instructions that are clear and concise. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and expertise with us.

Cool idea, and it's art.
It's burning a bit too orange and the flame is too tall for a practical camping stove/burner,
but you still get a thumbs up!

At 1:37 this is the time you can get your tiny drill hole to drill straight into the tube before you compress it . makes the hole vertical instead of offside.

[benewell]

What size hole needs to be drilled in the tube? The video only stated 'smallest' drill bit.

[TheUpsetter]

I think you could just solder copper to tin instead of using the silicone.

On trumpets they use ice. And additive to make ice doft and slushy. But don’t remember the rest, if they heated quickly or just bended😊 i’m going to make a couple of those. I just need to find desired jars and stuff😊

Best version of this build video I've seen yet

[BenVanJerry]

Preheat the copper tube with the flame beforehand, then it will be softer to bend :)

Could you put a metal mesh in the flame to act as a radiant space heater? Or would that make too much carbon monoxide?

[Quran.ALkareem]

Is there any way to control the flame.

[gorp]

Well done video for an item that can actually be useful in an emergency situation.

Where did you get the latern wick? Cdn tire? What size is your 'smallest drill bit"?
