This Flame Burns for 120 Minutes at 2192°F
In today's Instructables, I will show you how to make this amazing burner yourself at home!
Supplies
- Copper Tube
- Cotton Thread
- Car Fitting
- Washers
- Car Tire Valve Cap
- Liquid
- Nichrome wire
We measure the diameter of the car fitting.
A central hole is drilled.
Then, we enlarge it to a diameter of 10 mm, making sure to use a conical drill bit for better results.
We use high-quality cotton thread. Do not use nylon or other materials, as they cannot withstand high temperatures and begin to melt, which negatively affects the device's performance. Measure the required length, separate the thick thread, and then fold it in half. We cut the required piece of pipe.We take a thin copper tube, commonly used by technicians for repairing air conditioners or refrigerators.
Now, we need nichrome wire, which we thread through the copper tube. Once the wire is threaded, we tie the thread to it and pull it through the tube. Thanks to this project, I can finally make a mini tabletop drilling machine for drilling microholes.
The easiest way is to print the machine on a 3D printer. Considering all the bonuses and pre-holiday discounts, you can almost get the machine for free! If you want to print your 3D model quickly and efficiently, I recommend JLC3DP. It's a service that truly simplifies the process: you just upload your model, get the price right away, and track the order in real time. The production takes only 24 hours, and delivery takes a maximum of 2 days! The best part is that printing starts at just 30 cents, and new users can get coupons up to $60. Be sure to check the link in the description to learn more and start using JLC3DP!

Now, we connect the temporary power supply to drill the first microholes.
Insert a 0.4 mm drill bit. Place a piece of plywood underneath to prevent the cap from sinking while drilling the holes.
One second, and the hole is ready. Notice how small it is. It would be difficult to achieve this with a regular drill or screwdriver, because the drill bit is very thin, and even the slightest tilt can break it.
Start screwing the pre-prepared tube onto the fitting. About 7-10 turns will be enough. Cut off the excess, being careful not to damage the thread. We need to leave a long edge of about 3-5 cm.
Mark the position of the future holes.We drill two holes with a diameter as close as possible to the diameter of the copper tube. The tubes should fit very tightly. These are high-temperature gaskets. We select several of the required diameters, then thread them through the fitting and clamp them as tightly as possible.This silicone is rated for temperatures up to almost 350°C, but the lower part of the tube and its body will not heat up to such a temperature. As we know from physics or chemistry lessons, the highest temperature of the flame is at the top. Our spiral barely comes into contact with the direct flame. The tube will transfer heat from the fitting, heating up to a maximum of 100°C.
Excellent assembly and sealing result. Insert the special cap that we made earlier in this video. The flame literally pulls itself towards the burner. As the burner operates and heats up, it increases the temperature and flame power. The burner works stably for a long time, with the flame length varying from 7 to 10 centimeters. With such a flame, it can operate for about 130 minutes.The flame starts to grow within 3-5 minutes.This flame is almost at its maximum and can burn for a long time. Its maximum temperature is around 1100 - 1200°C.
