Self-made spirit burner for 20 min.

Such a burner will be very useful in field conditions, when it is not always possible to collect firewood for a fire. Even at home, it can be useful, in case of unforeseen circumstances, if the gas is cut off )

To make an alcohol burner with our own hands , first of all, we need two aluminum cans for beer (or other beverages).

After emptying the contents, we can safely proceed with the manufacture of the burner. Completely banks will not be useful to us, we only need bottoms. First of all (not necessarily), fine sandpaper, removes the paint from the can wall at a distance of 4 cm from the bottom.

Draw the line 3,5 cm from the bottom on each bank, and gently cut the bottoms with a knife or scissors. In order not to cut the edges in the future, we process the files with a file.

Insert the filler (cotton wool) inside the alcohol burner, and connect both parts, one into one.

With a thin screw, pierce the nozzles along the circumference of the jar 16 pcs. At the center, pierce 5 holes for oxygen access and alcohol-filled burners.

To ignite an alcohol burner, it is necessary to warm it with a lighter so that the gas begins to evaporate. And as far as warming up, the flame of the burner starts to increase.

For charging the burner, you can use any alcohol at least 90% (for example, methyl technical). 50-75 gr. Alcohol is enough to heat the tank by 1.5 liters in 15-20 minutes.
