Here's a little video I've made about the hot air blower we're going to use to keep ourselves warm this winter. It's the first video I've made, so it's rather simple, but I'm pretty pleased with it.
Now that we've sucessfully made biodiesel from the oil we've been collecting, we can use it to run a heater. It's a very sophisticated device, burning the fuel like a little jet engine and using a heat exchanger to warm up nice fresh air. The heater pushes out an enormous volume of hot air and will be connected to warm our bedroom and bathroom. Though it sounds pretty noisy in the video, once it's warmed through it settles down to be much quieter. Adding a silencer and hiding it away under the caravan should let us keep it on throughout the night without disturbing our sleep.

Hello -
I work for the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. I work on the border region with Mexico and am seeking an alternative to the burning of waste plywood and painted wood for the curing of bricks. I believe your design on the heater may work in brick kilns. Could you please post the components used in the manufacture of your hot air blower (i.e. make of components and where I might purchase)? I tried finding these components on ebay, but could not locate using search terms such as biodiesel, heater, blower.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there, could you let me know if your biodiesel ran ok in the diesel heater and if you are still running it?
