Gasoline blow torch for soldering and welding has a single purpose - to perform high-quality connections of various metal parts through the use of liquid metal. The gasoline soldering device operates thanks to the gasoline-air combustible mixture formed in the burner and making it possible to carry out smelting work.
Using a rotary tap located on the handle, the direction and power of the flame can be adjusted, which makes the work process even more convenient.
The smelting process is carried out by two types of solders: low-melting and refractory. If almost any type of soldering iron can be used to work with low-melting metals, then to solder refractory metals it is necessary to create a very high temperature, which only a torch can do. There are several varieties of this universal device that work on different types fuels, but they all allow you to get high temperatures.
The most common and convenient are soldering and welding torches operating on a fuel-air mixture and gas. Such devices can either be purchased at a specialized store or made with your own hands.
Device design and advantages
The gasoline torch for soldering and welding has the following components:
IN simplified version the device consists of a gasoline tank or fuel tank, an air compressor, gasoline hoses and, in fact, the burner itself. The latter, in turn, also consists of several elements.
For metal soldering, it includes the following parts (structural parts):
- frame;
- a bushing with a hook made of metal;
- a tube;
- heap;
- emphasis;
- filler;
- air flow regulating ball;
- rubber o-ring.
When purchasing a gasoline torch for soldering and welding, you should not forget that most often the device does not include gas-resistant hoses and torches, so most likely you will need to purchase them separately.
Gasoline and gas burners are arranged quite simply, so they can also be used without special labor make it yourself at home.
Despite the simplicity of assembly and design of the device, a gasoline torch for soldering and welding has undeniable advantages. Firstly, the low weight and size of the device make it lightweight, portable and convenient to use at work. Secondly, thanks to the creation of a fuel-air mixture, the device ensures the appearance and retention of high temperatures, which, in turn, guarantees the highest quality result upon completion of the soldering process.
Do-it-yourself gasoline burner for melting
Parameters and materials required for work
Purchasing a new gas or gasoline burner is not always possible due to the relative high cost of the device, while used devices may not bring the expected result due to the availability of hidden defects or breakdowns. For this reason, many men prefer to make a high-quality and inexpensive device with their own hands. As mentioned earlier, even an unprofessional welder can build a gasoline burner for smelting with his own hands at home, saving a lot of money and not spending much time on it.
If you bring a pre-lit match to a homemade gasoline burner, the fire should flare up instantly and ensure a steady burning of gasoline for 3-7 minutes. The flame temperature should be more than a thousand degrees. With such a device, without any difficulties, it will be possible to melt various solders (including hard ones) and metals, soften glass, and also perform various types of heat treatment on all kinds of small-sized tools.
To make your own gasoline torch for soldering and welding, you will need following materials: body, handle, sleeve, hook, stop, tube balloon, rubber ring, rubber bulb and filler.
Many of the above parts of the device do not need to be made independently - they can be easily borrow from other tools. For example, a spray bottle will replace a rubber bulb.
Step-by-step process for making a gasoline burner
The body for the future gasoline device is turned using a lathe, using steel from absolutely any manufacturer. It should be remembered that the body of this important detail it is necessary to construct it as a composite so that one end remains open and the other closed with a plug. You need to make a hole in the last one 0.1 mm larger in diameter than the outer diameter of the tube. Thanks to this nuance, the housing will move quite tightly within the tube, but will retain the necessary tightness.
A ring made of slag wool or metal mesh.
The next step is to make the stop and bushing with the hook, which will require a steel sheet. Then you need to cut a handle for a gasoline burner from oak or beech.
Next we need to prepare the tube. To do this, you need to very carefully drill two holes so that they are strictly parallel to each other. The finished handle is treated with special sandpaper and then coated clear varnish in 3–4 layers.
The last step in making your own gasoline torch for welding and soldering is preparing the tube. The end of this element must be passed through the middle of the body so that it forms a nozzle. Using hard solder PMTs-54, which interacts well with steel, you should solder the end of the tube, and then drill a hole with a diameter of 0.2 mm along its axis.
Solder, if desired, can also be made independently from zinc and copper.
To create copper, you need to take copper wire, burn it and cut it with scissors. To create zinc, you will need a glass from a regular electric battery, which must be emptied of its contents and calcined over a fire. Then the glass is lowered into cold water and a weak solution of hydrochloric acid, after which they are cut into small pieces with scissors.
Next, you need to combine pieces of zinc and copper, pour them into the crucible in equal proportions, and sprinkle them with borax. The fusion of these metals occurs directly on the burner. The resulting block is cooled, secured in a vice and leveled with a file, while collecting sawdust and mixing it with borax.
Conclusion
A gasoline torch for soldering and welding is quite easy to make with your own hands. Such a device will not be inferior to the purchased one either in quality or in operating efficiency.
If there is a need to reproduce the soldering (welding) process at home, then with small metal parts A gasoline burner will help you. This type of metalworking equipment is sometimes sold in specialized stores. Due to the simplicity of the design, interchangeability and accessibility of individual components of the unit, modifications of burners made by hand are successfully used in everyday life.
The material in this article will tell you about torches for soldering and welding metals and the possibility of their production at home.
Gasoline blow torch
A gasoline burner is designed for the process of high-quality fastening (soldering) together of metal components of a single structure using molten metal. The solder used for soldering has a hard physical state, can be low-melting or refractory.
Work with a refractory alloy is carried out exclusively with burners.
Design and principle of operation
When purchasing a gas torch for metalworking by soldering and welding, you should not assume that the kit contains all the elements necessary to organize the work. Since each gas-air burner apparatus has individual drawings, and there are no clearly defined design standards, consider basic (simplified) set of working elements:
- tank for storing gasoline (fuel);
- air compressor;
- gasoline blow torch;
- gas-resistant hoses providing fuel supply,
- stand.
Gasoline blow torch - heating device, in which the combustion process of gasoline converts it into gaseous state. Combustion occurs in the evaporator, where oxygen is supplied from the air by a nozzle. As a result, a gasoline-air flammable cocktail is formed, a mixture of the combustion product of gasoline and air, which is involved in the soldering process. The rotary tap located on the handle functions as a regulator of the direction and power of the flame.
Bring an open flame source to the nozzle of the working element and you will see an instant flash of a flammable mixture. Stable combustion of fuel will last for 5 minutes (+/-2 minutes). The temperature at the end of the flame reaches 1000° C or more.
Benefits and safety of work
Heating devices for soldering, the initial fuel of which is gasoline, have become widespread in various fields due to their ease of use and thermal performance.
A positive characteristic of the heating device is the ability to operate without preheating.
Advantages of gas burners:
- relatively small weight and dimensions of the device;
- portability and ease of use (compared to its gas counterpart);
- high-quality soldering and welding of metals.
The disadvantage of using the device is the presence of the smell of gasoline in insufficiently ventilated areas. When working with a gas burner, it is prohibited:
- operate the device as intended if a gasoline leak is detected;
- do not use as fuel established by the instructions substances;
- allow the fuel tank to heat up to 500C;
- refuel while soldering or open the container when the evaporator is not cooled down;
- Use in closed or unventilated areas.
Application area
Hard-melting solders and various metals and alloys (brass, bronze, etc.) can easily be soldered with a gas torch. The unit carries out heat treatment (hardening) of small tools and is used for artistic treatment wood and even soften glass.
Petrol burner for jewelry - used for melting gold, silver and semi-precious metals. The set of dental equipment also includes a heating device for soldering metal and alloys.
A separate group is represented by tourist burners (primus), they come in gasoline, gas and multi-fuel types.
Do-it-yourself gas-air burner
The new acquisition of such equipment involves the purchase of individual working parts and their further independent assembly into a single unit. However, the design of the burner is quite simple, and if desired, it is possible to build it yourself, saving a certain amount of money.
Gasoline burner production
When making a gasoline burner with your own hands, the drawing contains further assembly elements: body, handle, bushing, hook, stop, tube, rubber ring, heating pad and filler.
The composite body of the gas burner is made from any type of steel using a lathe. One side of the part is open, and the other is covered with a special plug with a hole. The diameter of which is 0.1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the tube, this allows you to move the device body along the tube, while maintaining the tightness of the structure. A ring made of iron mesh and slag wool is placed inside, and a bushing with a hook and stop is made from sheet steel.
Nozzle with a hole of 0.2 mm. located at the end of the tube passed inside the body. To produce it, the tube is sealed with PMTs-54 hard solder and a hole with the required diameter is made.
The handle of the device is cut from hardwood. During manufacturing, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the parallelism of the holes for mounting the inlet fittings. The wooden handle is sanded and treated with several layers of wood varnish.
The gasoline torch for DIY soldering is ready for use.
Copper-zinc solder
Making homemade copper-zinc solder for soldering does not incur large physical and financial costs. Copper is obtained from cut calcined copper wire. A zinc cap from an ordinary galvanic battery is calcined over a fire and placed in cold water and a weakly concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid. At the end of the heat treatment, the finished zinc is finely cut with scissors.
Keeping the proportions, pieces of zinc and copper are covered with borax and placed in a crucible. The joining of metals into solder is carried out in the torch. The resulting workpiece is cooled and leveled in a vice with a file, the chips are picked up and mixed with borax again.
Gasoline burners are often used by fishermen and tourists. They allow you to cook food in field conditions, boil water for drinking and are even used as a heater for small spaces.
As such, there are three types of burners on the market:
- Liquid fuel (runs on gasoline or any other type of fuel, often kerosene);
- Gas;
- Multi-fuel (used for work different kinds, both solid and liquid fuels).
Gasoline burners appeared on the market of tourist and fishing equipment much earlier than the other two types of devices, but at the same time they are still popular and help out tourists in difficult hiking and field conditions.
It is gasoline burners that demonstrate high efficiency and improved combustion results.
The easiest way to purchase such a device is in a store, since modern manufacturers offer huge selection devices for every taste and budget. On the other hand, if you do not need the device on a regular basis, it is cheaper to make a gasoline burner yourself.
Today we will talk about popular methods of making a device from scrap materials, talk about the operating principle of such a device and the nuances of its use.
Remember that you need to start making a gasoline burner only if you have minimal knowledge in this area, otherwise you should buy the device in a store.
How the device works
A household gasoline burner works on a similar principle to a blowtorch:
- From a special reservoir, the flammable substance enters the tubular part of the burner (the movement of fuel occurs due to the created air pressure). The pressure is created before ignition using a special piston pump, and then it is maintained by heating the device.
- The fuel is heated in the tubular part of the burner.
- Next, the gasoline evaporates in the tube, and the resulting vapors exit through the nozzle.
- Fuel vapors mix with air and burn in the burner along with the fire.
The main condition for normal operation gasoline burner - heat. In this regard, the burner should be warmed up before use. Warming up is also necessary if you have turned off the burner for a while.
Tourist and fishing stores offer a wide range of gasoline burners, but it is recommended to purchase them only if used on a regular basis
In addition to gasoline, household liquid fuel burners sometimes use kerosene as fuel.
The advantages of a gasoline camping burner include:
- Possibility of use even with sub-zero temperatures air;
- Trouble-free operation at extreme altitudes;
- Fuel for the burner is easy to purchase and inexpensive;
- The power is 2 times higher than that of gas equipment.
In addition to advantages, the equipment also has disadvantages:
- Comprises large number parts that are prone to wear and breakage;
- Heavy weight;
- High cost of equipment in stores;
- Special skills are required when handling the device;
- Gasoline has a high fire hazard;
- Difficulty in carrying fuel;
- It is better not to use with low-quality fuel, as there is a danger of explosion.
How to make a gasoline burner
Gasoline burners, which are sold in travel stores, are expensive, and require only high-quality gasoline to operate. Otherwise, the nozzles will become clogged, which may cause the device to explode.
You can make a gasoline burner yourself, and there are several options for assembling such a device. Often consumables from burners that have already been used are used as parts. If the collection technology is followed, the output is a fairly efficient and fully operational device.
Method 1
To make a homemade gasoline burner you will need:
- Two tin cans (either a soda can or a canned food can will do);
- A piece of ordinary medical cotton wool;
- Petrol;
- Nail, screw or awl.
A tin can or soda can is suitable for making a burner.
Manufacturing sequence:
- First of all, both jars must be washed and thoroughly cleaned of dirt. Next, cut off the top of the soda can, leaving about 1/3 of the bottom. 4 holes are made in the bottom using an awl, nail or screw. Holes are also made in one row along the entire side perimeter of the jar.
- The top of the second can is also removed and the tin is installed upside down. Medical cotton wool is placed on the center, and the structure is covered on top with the soda can prepared in the first step.
- Through the holes in the top jar, the cotton wool is soaked with gasoline. As a result, the fuel itself is retained by the cotton wool, and only the vapors are exposed to combustion.
Unfortunately, this burner can only be used once, but this is quite enough to heat food
This burner has a fairly simple design; it can be made even in the field, but this type of homemade burner is disposable.
The burner can also be made from two soda cans. Both cans are cut approximately 3 cm from the bottom. The edges of one of the cans are slightly bent so that it can fit into the other can. A piece of medical cotton wool is placed inside the jars. The jars are pressed tightly against each other, then a hole is made in the upper part using a needle. Through one of the holes, the cotton wool inside is soaked with gasoline; it is most convenient to do this with a syringe and a needle. More detailed process You can watch the making of the device in the video.

Method 2
This manufacturing method is more complicated, but this burner is more practical, and the final design can be reused.
To make the device you will need:
- A burner purchased in a store or removed from faulty equipment;
- Car chamber as a compressor (the chamber must be periodically pumped up so that the burner maintains required pressure air);
- An ordinary gasoline can is used as a fuel tank. Two holes are made in the upper part of the device into which plastic tubes are inserted. The first tube should reach the bottom of the canister, the second should not be lowered below the middle of the tank;
- To make a receiver, a regular plastic transparent tank is suitable, which is tightly closed with a lid (it is better to take a tank with a volume of at least 10 liters).
All components of the future gasoline burner are connected by plastic tubes to the fuel tank. The fuel tank is filled approximately halfway with regular gasoline.
It is advisable to install a simple filter device at the compressor inlet, which will avoid contamination of the burner and extend its service life. An ordinary nylon stocking is suitable as a filter.
The device works according to the following principle:
- Air from the compressor is supplied to the receiver, where the pressure is stabilized;
- Next, the air enters the tank with gasoline;
- At the outlet of the fuel tank, air is mixed with flammable vapors;
- The mixture is supplied to the burner; to operate a homemade primus stove, it is enough to light the burner.
Method 3
To make a burner you will need:
- A small metal jar (suitable for canned food);
- Pumice;
- A small amount of gasoline.
Pumice is packed into tin can and carefully soaked in gasoline
The preparation method includes the following steps:
- Pumice is tightly packed into the prepared jar. The material should fill the jar almost to the brim;
- The pumice stone is carefully soaked in gasoline. Make sure that the flammable substance does not spill and accidentally soak your things;
- The burner lights up.
Burning like this homemade device lasts about 15 minutes, and a large amount of heat is generated in the process. The burner can be used for cooking or heating food, as well as for heating a tent in extreme conditions.
Features of use
Homemade gasoline burners generally produce a small flame, so they can also be used in closed space, for example, inside a tent. The fire is not enough to cook a full dinner and heat the tent throughout the night, but you can always heat up food, boil water and warm up a little before going to bed.
Using a homemade gasoline burner, monitor the degree of blockage. To ensure that the holes become less clogged and the equipment operates smoothly, it is better to use gasoline with a high octane number as fuel. Special additives can also solve problems with burner clogging.
Remember: to prevent the device from letting you down at the most inopportune moment, immediately after use you should clean all the holes for the release of the air-gasoline mixture.
Never start making a homemade gasoline burner if you do not have experience in this field. Improperly assembled equipment is a fire hazard and can cause serious fires and death.
Homemade gasoline equipment is in no way inferior to a store-bought device in some respects. At the same time, you can make a simple disposable device from scrap materials, but for more serious equipment you will have to buy consumables in the store.
If you often go hiking and fishing, it would be preferable to purchase a device in a store rather than laboring over making or cleaning it every time. At the same time, the device will become a real godsend in extreme field conditions, when you urgently need to warm up or cook food.
The gasoline soldering (smelting) apparatus is designed to form a gasoline-air combustible mixture. A gasoline torch for soldering and melting metal runs on a gasoline mixture. These burners offer convenient flame adjustment using a rotary tap located on the handle.
Advantages of the device
Advantages:
- The device is portable;
- Low weight of the device;
- Ease of use;
- High-quality result upon completion of soldering (melting).
Gas burner device
Components:
- Gasoline tank;
- Air compressor;
- Gasoline hoses;
- Burner.
Please note that torches and hoses, as a rule, are not included in the kit for gasoline soldering. In this regard, the purchase of these elements is made separately.
Do-it-yourself gasoline torch for soldering
Purchasing a ready-made gas burner is not always possible (depending on various reasons). In this case, it will be useful to know that you can make a gasoline torch for soldering yourself. Note that homemade gasoline devices are no worse than purchased ones. A DIY device is just as effective.
If you bring a lit match to the spout of a gasoline burner, you will be able to see a fire instantly flare up. Steady combustion of gasoline will continue for five minutes (+/-2 minutes). The flame temperature at its tip will reach more than 1000° C.
Note that with such a burner you can easily melt, heat treat small tools, melt various metals, solders, and even soften glass.
There is no need to make many parts of a homemade gas burner, since they can be borrowed from other things. For example, such homemade parts, like a rubber bulb, can be made from a spray bottle.
contains:
- Frame;
- Sleeve with hook;
- A tube;
- Emphasis;
- Pen;
- Rubber ring;
- Balloon;
- Pen;
- Rubber bulb;
- Filler.
Manufacturing:
- The burner body can be turned on a lathe. Any grade of steel can be used as a material for the manufacture of this important part. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the body of the part is composite (one end is open, and the other is closed with a plug). There is a hole in the plug, the diameter of which is 0.1 millimeters larger than the outer diameter of the tube. With this quality, the body can move along the tube quite tightly, while maintaining a tight seal.
- A ring made of metal mesh and slag wool must be installed inside the housing.
- Next, you need to make a sleeve with a hook and a stop. You can use a steel sheet for this.
- The burner handle, which is essential for a gasoline device, is carved from beech or oak.
- The holes for the tubes (2 pcs.) are drilled very carefully. Thus, the axes of the holes should be strictly parallel. The finished handle is sanded and then coated with several layers of colorless varnish.
- Next, it is necessary that the end of the tube, which is passed inside the body, forms a nozzle. If you have PMTs-54 hard solder (adheres well to steel), try to solder the end of the tube with it, and then drill a 0.2 millimeter (diameter) hole along the axis of the tube. You can make your own solder. It must be said that solder consists of copper and zinc. In order to get zinc, you can use cups from an old electric battery. You need to empty the glass of its contents and then heat it over the fire. Next, you need to lower it into cold water, and then into a weak solution of hydrochloric acid. A clean glass is cut into pieces with scissors. Thus, we obtain zinc. Now it's up to copper. To do this, do the following: take copper wire; anneal it on fire; Finely cut the wire using scissors. Now you can pour pieces of copper and zinc into the crucible, maintaining equal proportions, after which you need to sprinkle with borax. Metals can be fused using a burner. After this, you will need to cool the resulting block and secure it in a vice. Then use a hog file to file it on all sides. The resulting sawdust must be mixed with borax.
Homemade gasoline burners like these will work great if done correctly. Please note: if you do not have enough experience in working with flammable materials, it is advisable to use commercial gasoline burners.
Among the most useful and functional devices for the home workshop, the gasoline soldering torch ranks one of the leading places. Such a device is capable of qualitatively connecting all kinds of metal constructions using liquid metal technology. The device operates on the basis of a gasoline-air combustible mixture, which is formed in the burner, and allows further smelting work to be carried out.
Placed on the handle rotary valve acts as a direction controller and flame power, which significantly simplifies the combustion process.
Today, metal smelting is carried out using two types of solders:
- Low-melting.
- Refractory.
If, when working with low-melting metals, almost all existing species soldering irons, then in the case of refractory metals it is necessary to create maximum temperature indicators. In this case, you simply cannot do without using a burner. Currently, there are several varieties of this universal device, which are capable of working on the basis of different fuel mixtures, but at the same time heat the structure to the required temperature.
Among the most common and convenient torches are models for soldering and welding, which operate on gas or a gas-air mixture. You can purchase them at the appropriate store or try create it yourself.

If you are going to purchase a torch for soldering and welding, do not forget to pay attention to the availability petrol resistant hoses. In most cases, they are not included in the basic kit, so there is a need for additional purchase of such parts.
The device of gasoline and gas burners very simple, so you can make a design at home using improvised materials. However, despite the ease of assembly and the absence of complications in the configuration of the device, the gasoline burner remains a very valuable tool, which is characterized by many undeniable advantages.
- Firstly, such a solution is lightweight and compact in size, which makes it very convenient for further use.
- Secondly, the creation of a fuel-air mixture allows you to create and maintain high temperature regime, which is necessary to achieve maximum quality of the final result.
Making a gasoline burner with your own hands
Not everyone can purchase a new burner that runs on gas or a fuel-air mixture, which is due to the relative high cost of the device. And the purchased model does not always cope with the assigned tasks, especially if it has already been used. This may be due to the presence of hidden defects or breakdowns.
To avoid becoming a victim of such an unwise purchase, many men prefer homemade solutions, which are particularly affordable and easy to assemble. As mentioned earlier, even the most inexperienced welder can easily install such a device using improvised means, saving himself from high costs.
If a homemade gasoline burner is made taking into account the basic rules and recommendations, it should give fire immediately after bringing a lit match to it. In this case, stable and steady combustion of the fuel-air mixture will be noticeable for another 3-7 minutes. During the combustion process, it is possible to reach temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius. Using such a device, you can successfully melt all kinds of solder, including hard solder, as well as metals and glass. In addition, the burner easily solves the problem of heat treatment of small-sized products.
To make a device with your own hands, it is enough to use a number of materials. Among them:
- Frame.
- Pen.
- Sleeve.
- Hook.
- Emphasis.
- A tube.
- Balloon.
- Ring.
- Rubber bulb.
- Filler.
By the way, it is not necessary to create such elements with your own hands - they are present in many other tools that are available in the home workshop. For example: instead of a rubber bulb, you can apply a spray bottle.
Step-by-step instruction
To grind the body of the future device, it is used lathe. Products from different manufacturers are used as steel. At the same time, the body of such an important part make compound so that one end remains open and the other is closed with a stopper.
The latter case involves making a hole 0.1 millimeters larger than the outer diameter. This nuance will allow the body to move tightly within the tube, maintaining the necessary tightness.
- A ring is fixed in the inner part of the body, which is made of slag wool or durable metal mesh.
- At the next stage, the stop and bushing with hook are manufactured, which implies the use of durable steel sheet. Then a handle for a gasoline burner is cut out of oak or beech.
- Then all that remains is to prepare the tube by very carefully drilling two holes so that they are parallel to each other. The finished product is processed using a special sandpaper, covering with colorless varnish in three or four layers.
- The last manufacturing step is to prepare the tube. The end of the element is passed through the middle of the body, which allows the formation of a nozzle. Using hard solder PMC-54, the end of the tube is soldered, and then a hole with a diameter of 0.2 millimeters is made along its axis.
Solder can be prepared if desired made of copper or zinc. In the first case, copper wire is used, which is fired and cut into several pieces using scissors. When choosing the second option, use a glass from a regular electric battery, which is first cleared of its contents and hardened by fire. After this, the glass is placed in a container with cold water and a weak solution of hydrochloric acid, cutting it into small pieces after such treatment.
In the future it is required combine the pieces zinc and copper in equal proportions, placing them in a crucible and sprinkling with borax. The fusion of metals is carried out on a burner. As a result, the block is cooled, secured in a vice and leveled using a file. The collected sawdust is collected and mixed with borax.
Other features and creation methods
It is not always possible to buy a ready-made burner that runs on a fuel-air mixture or gas, which is due to many reasons. Sometimes this is explained by the too high cost of the equipment, and sometimes by a simple lack of time to visit the store. Therefore, more and more people are becoming interested in making a burner with their own hands. By the way, homemade solutions look no worse than purchased ones. Their productivity is quite high, but they are difficult to create practically absent.
As mentioned above, if you bring a lighter or a lit match to a homemade burner, a fire will immediately break out from the corresponding window, which will burn for about 5-7 minutes, reaching a temperature of over 1000 degrees Celsius.
Due to these features, the device can be used for productive melting of hard solders, heat treatment of small tools, melting of all kinds of metals, solders, and sometimes even glass.
Most of the parts of a homemade burner are created using improvised materials, since they can be borrowed from other unnecessary things.
The burner device itself includes:
- Frame.
- Sleeve with hook.
- Emphasis.
- Handle.
- Rubber ring.
- Balloon.
- Pear (can be taken from a spray bottle).
- Filler.
Method No. 1
If speak about this method making a gasoline burner, then it may be familiar even to those people who have never before wondered about creating similar device. When completing this task, you need to take two aluminum cans, which must be empty. Cans of beer, condensed milk, Coca-Cola and other products are suitable.
- After thoroughly washing and drying the container, you can begin work. Four punctures are made in the central part of the bottom of the first jar. You can use a nail for this. Similar holes are made around the perimeter of the rim of the can. As a result, it is possible to produce a base part that will supply the flames.
- After this, you need to cut off the part that was made earlier from the rest of the container. The length of the side is three to four centimeters. If you cannot cut the product using ordinary scissors, you will have to use any other sharp object.
- The next step is to prepare a second jar, the bottom of which is simply cut off. Try to perform this step with extreme caution to prevent nicks from occurring. If there are nicks, it is enough to sand them off with sandpaper.
- In the end, all that remains is to connect the two resulting parts. By the way, at this stage, novice welders often have difficulties, because the cans have the same diameter and this significantly complicates the work. To solve the problem, it is enough to make a small cut in the side of one of the cans, wrapping the entire structure with aluminum tape to increase the tightness.
In order for the gasoline burner to be ready for use, all that remains is to fill it with gasoline and then heat the area with a lighter. It is better to thoroughly warm up the burner for 5-10 seconds, after which it will be able to maintain optimal level without your help.
Now you see that creating such an indispensable device with your own hands is very simple.
Method No. 2
Another method is used to make burners. It is significantly more complex than the previous one, but allows you to achieve higher reliability, strength and operational durability. Therefore, if you place emphasis on such features, then it is better to make the burner using the second method. True, this will require a lot of effort, patience and time.
So, to successfully manufacture the structure you should take:
- Compressor. You can use an old car inner tube that is constantly inflated, or a basic compressor from an unused refrigerator (if you have one).
- Receiver. Here you can use a regular plastic canister with a volume of up to 10 liters. You also need to find a dense translucent cork.
- Fuel tank. It uses a two-liter metal barrel that will store the fuel mixture.
- Burner. This element is created with your own hands or purchased at the appropriate store.
If all necessary details assembled, all that remains is to follow the instructions and assemble the future device. If you follow exactly basic rules and follow step by step guide, the end result will exceed all your expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the homemade burner. The main thing is to be ready to devote several hours of time and patience to the upcoming event.
