Reil Burner (Oxide00 Project #2)

[Oxide00]

This is a Reil Burner that I built in hopes of successfully melting aluminum in my homemade foundry (in the works). The burner runs on propane fuel that can be bought at any gas station or store. Alright, this is how it works, the burner is naturally aspirated which means it draws in air for combustion by means of a venturi (through the bell shaped reducer). Inside the bell reducer is a 4 inch long 1/8" red brass pipe with a #60 (very small) hole drilled in it, this is where the propane flows through. As propane flows through the hole at high speed it draws in the air needed to support combustion of high enough temperature to melt various metals. (Venturi Effect)
