Not sure if these two count.

>>565773

ah yes,designers. always building something and saying, "it's for ... NOMADS!"

because nomads love to carry around ROCKS.

>>565776
That's really cool, actually. What's he keeping it together with, though? Glue?

This always gives me a laugth.

I think the idea is you pick them up when you sit down, though i'd think it would be easier just to use the pipe and put earth on the base to stop it falling over

>>566203
I think it is more for hikers to lessen their pack weight and size. I would rather have a complete system and not rely on needing dirt or stones to make up part of the stove.

Here's a rocket stove I made a few months ago or more (reposted image). It has fiberglass insulation inside. It is made from discarded food cans, rivets, and coat hanger wire. It weighs next to nothing and only needs a few tiny sticks to boil a small pot of water.

I want to make another one with a few added features and make it a bit taller.

That's really cool, actually. Got any plans you can share?

>>566594
Just google "DIY can rocket stove" and look at a few designs. Using fiberglass or rock/mineral wool makes them much lighter than the ones that use sand, gravel, or soil as insulation. Most designs, including the one pictured that I made need to have a taller chimney to really get the proper burn to make the very clean burning.

I saw this in another thread and thought it belonged here too:

It can apparently mess up the handle of the axe somehow, so be careful, I guess?

That horizontal can is welded?

Dumping part of my diy ideas folder.

Tilt sensors, very easy to replicate.

This is a bit out of the diy field.

>>567765
I made this by myself, I also engraved a qr code with my phone number for if I lose the keys.

>>567768
This is the last one.

>>567759
It may be a bit stupid. But wuts dat?

>>567771
When you tilt the thing the balls touch the central contact (golden wire) and also the walls, closing the circuit you want to make.

>>567772
God I'm retarded. I was too distracted by the coin the the golden color to notice they were electrical components. I was thinking they were related in some way. May in quimical or electric way...

>>567692
No, I just cut the opening really tight with a pair of tin snips. It is riveted to the bigger can though. The heat discoloration comes from the fire inside.

>>567768
Nice.

I do not approve of how you draw your "d"'s.

That is all.

Not me. Just, "neat".

As you were then comrade.

>>567768
What'd you use as the etchant?

>>568195
I would also like to know this.

Not him, but hydrochloric acid works well with aluminum.

less nasty chemicals -- saturated salt water and a 12v power supply -- hook positive up to what you want etched

Some of the cooler rocket stove deigns use minikegs
Not something people often have laying around, but if you ever bought one a rocket stove is a good way to get a second use out of the keg shell.

>>566169
brilliant
lol'd well done

>>566177

Whats the point of this?

>>570286
to climb up/ repel something or bondage fun!

>>568478
I used a mini rootbeer keg to make a forge, insulated with ash and clay

>>568195
>>568205
>>568208

I used HCl and reduced it a bit with some drops of water.

>>568220
Electrolysis etching can be inefficient with some materials as the oxygen turns the metal into oxide creating a layer that reduces conductivity.

>>570286
Tie your girlfriend up for some bondage fun.
