A homemade alcohol burner can come in handy, say, while fishing, hiking, or in the forest. You can use it to heat food or boil water. It can also be used in other various experiments and experiments.

Filled with alcohol, it does not produce soot or foreign odors, and due to its small dimensions it can fit almost anywhere.


We will need:
No. 1: Two iron cans for any drinks (I took cola cans).


No. 2: Vata
#3: Something to cut the cans (I used scissors).
No. 4: Alcohol (90% and above)
Assembly:
No. 1: Draw a line on the jars 3.5 cm from the bottom:


No. 2: Cut the cans along the line:


No. 3: Place cotton wool in one of the jars (it is better to use glass wool. It does not burn, does not smolder and can withstand high temperatures better):


No. 4: Combining banks:


No. 5: We pierce the holes like this:


No. 6: Fill with alcohol.


The burner is ready!


To light it, you need to heat the bottom with a lighter (or matches, I did it with an alcohol lamp) so that the alcohol begins to evaporate, and set it on fire!

    There is a video like this on YouTube, it’s a green can! Who stole from whom? biggrin

    And if gasoline is poured in place of alcohol, will it be normal?

    It's bullshit, not a burner. There are no advantages! Use gasoline and kerosene. Otherwise it will turn out to be a fire. It is impossible to regulate the flame, you need to ignite it, extinguish it, how? By blowing something out. A regular glass alcohol lamp is better. And burning alcohol will be expensive.

    stew? They didn’t teach you at school, just cover it with something to stop the access of oxygen. Damn, I don’t know this at all. and also those who crowed that a spirit lamp is better - SOME DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY IT
