Ever want to build a furnace?
My freind Russ is building a waste oil burning furnace.
The concept is pretty cool. It uses a Babington Ball to vaporize the oil so that it can be burned. Basicailly they pour oil onto the top of a metal ball, the oil turns into a film as it flows around the ball. The ball has a microscopic hole in it that is leaking 10 Psi air through it. The wind evaporates this film and creates a burnable oil/air mixture. The rest of the oil drains into resevior, and is then pumped repeatedly until it encouters the microscopic hole and is burnt off.
I set up a blog for Russ to describe his project, and he seems enthusiastic about blogging, so watch and learn!
