Stephen's ingenious air burner, that appears to burn pretty much anything flammable.

The Womble was the only one brave enough to try the burner on Methanol. Not quite as fur singeing as we expected!

Glycerol, burning with a nice Sodium coloured flame.

A little bit of worry at the bottom of the kettle surviving the intense heat. The steel is glowing a bit...

Id really like to know more about these two (or is it the same one?) burners.

They sound a bit like the CK WMO boiler conversion. I understand Stephen isnt on the forum, so im wondering how i can learn more?

I've asked Stephen if he can provide a parts list for us, it's so beautifully simple and effective.

I should post up video of it too.

Im wondering how much air it needs.

The turk i built ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgv8AYjIfjM ) was pretty fearsome, but needed too much air to be viable. And, of course, had the usual re-fueling issues.

Basicaly it's the same as a paint sprayer, it just sucks and sprays out fuel instead of paint, could try adapting an old paint sprayer gun, maybe just need to change nozzle size, maybe it'll work as standard.

I forgot to add Stephen's text about the parts used for this:

Quote

The nozzle is a delavan siphon nozzle in one of there adaptors. There are various sizes depending on how much you want to burn an hour.
They are £22.85 for the nozzle and £22.85 for the adaptor 9.95 postage, all+ vat (min order size £50 excluding postage and vat) they are on about a 3 week delivery.
The other bits were just a pressure regulator and gauge + valve . Simple, oh don't forget the bean can hinez I think
