The eternal log for saving on wood

For heating, I use an ordinary stove, in which the wood burns out very quickly, so with intensive heat production, a significant part of it goes into the chimney. As a result, in order to maintain a normal temperature level, it is necessary to constantly charge the fuel. To solve this problem, I began to use the "eternal log", which helps to save 30-50 percent of firewood. Without it, I have one loading of the furnace burns out in 1 hour 10 minutes, and with it 30 minutes longer.

Materials for the manufacture


To make an eternal log you will need:
  • thick-walled metal pipe d76 mm, the length of an ordinary stove block for the stove;
  • metal sheet for brewing pipe ends;
  • nut M12;
  • bolt M12;
  • steel corner 10x10 mm - 20 cm.

The process of making eternal logs to save


I used a pipe with a diameter of 76 mm. I cut it in length under a standard log, which I put in the oven. The diameter used affects the filling capacity. If the combustion chamber of the stove is high, and you can load a lot of firewood into it, then the pipe must be used thicker.
The eternal log for saving on wood

There is nothing complicated in manufacturing. It is necessary to cut two circles from the sheet metal along the diameter of the pipe and hermetically weld its ends. After that, I cut a steel corner, getting 2 pieces of 10 cm. I cook them crosswise to the pipe along its edges, getting stable legs. Then he simply drilled a 12 mm hole on top of the tube with a drill. He put a nut on it and welded it, having received a filler neck. After that, a bolt acting as a cover can be screwed into it. A small twig was welded to his head so that it could be twisted without a key. Around the perimeter with an interval of 4 cm made a series of holes with a 3 mm drill.

There are no strict criteria for the dimensions of the used pipe, since it all depends on the parameters of the stove, or rather the number of firewood that can be loaded into it. I want to note that you need to use thick metal so that it does not burn out. It is also impossible to make few holes, and even more so, to use thin drills of 1 or 2 mm, since steam under pressure is not a joke. If during the test the log makes a whistle from strong pressure when the steam comes out, then there are few holes, so it needs to be removed urgently. After that, you will have to drill holes to a larger diameter. But you do not need to make them too large, because ash will get inside, and washing the brewed pipe is uncomfortable. Better more small holes than a few large ones.

How to use


To use the eternal log, you need to unscrew the lid and pour water into the pipe, completely filling it. I try to use almost boiling water so that the process starts immediately.

I put the eternal log on the bottom of the stove and lay it on the sides and top with firewood.

After that, I kindle a fire and close the stove tightly.

Why does it work


Using eternal logs increases the duration and quality of burning of a single load of firewood. Fire and heat can last up to 50 percent longer, depending on the design of the stove. Personally, my burning is extended to 30 percent. My friends with other parameters of the stove show savings of 15 percent or more, which is explained by inappropriate dimensions of the dimensions of the log itself under their firebox.
The eternal log for saving on wood

This result is achieved due to the fact that the specific heat of water vapor is higher than that of air. This is a physical fact that has long been proven. In air, this indicator is 1 (kJ / (kg · K), while in steam it reaches 2 (kJ / (kg · K).
I also want to note that the eternal log is not suitable for all types of wood stoves. It is ideally compatible with ordinary stoves with a direct chimney.If the brick kiln has a channel chimney in the wall, then in certain cases there is a possibility of condensation of unburned steam. If you want to use eternal logs with this design of the stove, I advise you to inspect the inspection hatches of the chimney for sticky soot. If it is not, then the log is suitable and you can safely use it.

    Hmm ... A man pours steam on firewood, discusses their savings and the benefits of heat capacity of steam. Immediately obvious, a great "expert in physics."
    My dear man, the specific heat of combustion of wood does not change in any way that your “eternal” log appears in the furnace. Your firewood dull stupidly and therefore burn slower. Cover the blown in the oven and the effect will be even better.
    As for the heat capacity of steam: it is really higher, but this is not a plus, but a minus, because your steam will take away the heat and quickly fly into a straight pipe. I’m not talking about energy losses due to the conversion of water into steam.
    Better weld the fins on the potbelly stove, make a cranked chimney, improve convection around the stove to increase its heat transfer. Any more benefit than your "eternal log."

      He is wrong, but you are wrong too. At a temperature of about 600 degrees (red-hot coal with a red glow), water vapor and carbon react with the formation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide (CO). Both gases are combustible and immediately combine with atmospheric oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide. Thus we "drown with water."
      More information, but at the same time how to make a more effective "eternal log," can be found on the Internet. It seems that someone has already established industrial production.

        What are you hanging? To decompose water into hydrogen, energy is needed. As much as it is released during the combustion of this hydrogen. That is, the effect will be zero, but most likely it will be negative. Well, hydrogen and CO are formed during the combustion of natural gas, that is, combustion occurs in two stages. First to CO, then to CO2 and H2O.

        Water will boil when heated to a hundred degrees. It will not have time to reach six hundred - the capacity is small, and the steam generated will take away the heat ... It’s easier to throw raw logs into the furnace - there are micropores and moisture - all the conditions for producing hydrogen))). If it was so easy to get hydrogen, then the stove would explode no worse than if an artillery shell was put instead of an “eternal log” in the furnace.

    A drawing, or a sketch themselves "drew"? A bunch of mistakes, technically critical!
    The most important of them: the diameter of the hole is denoted by F (diameter) and not R (radius); then the size 75.5 is not linear, because the pipe must also indicate the diameter, that is, F75.5; further, the height with the stopper 115 is the linear dimension of the lowest accuracy class because 115 and 120 or 100 do not matter how it turns out on the thread, that is, the size should stand with the star (reference size) 115 *, the same is the general linear size 518 also with * (518 *)
    Why found fault: the people are different, someone with knowledge, someone not. So that for those who have “no” everything turned out at least at the level of “well, somehow” and without question - we need an acceptable competence of the author in the topic he covers!

    Homegrown heating engineer! The potbelly stove cools quickly, because the pipe is straight and everything flies away with a whistle. Thrust, his mother, and you can’t close the blower, you’ll erase it. The answer is simple, like three rubles, heat must be accumulated. You tightly cover the potbelly stove with bricks, the more the better, even a part of the pipe. Cavities are covered with sand by benches and rammed. The wood will burn out, the iron will cool, and the bricks will give off heat all night. The principle of the stove, nothing new. But you will sleep warm all night.

      only there is a nuance. if the stove is TIGHTLY overlaid, and even the cavities are filled up, then the heat is very poorly removed from the walls of the iron stove, they overheat (during the heating - bright red, 700 degrees by eye) are deformed and quickly burn out. my 8mm wall burned out over 3 seasons. and this is not in the house where they drown every day, but in the bathhouse.

    That's for sure, dear man! Return to school for physics lessons, so as not to confuse heat capacity with calorific value. This "log" gives you the opposite effect - the heat flies into the pipe more fun when the temperature of the furnace and the inner section of the chimney are lower. You do not save 50%, but popozos by 50%. Definitely - the advice is harmful, and the design gives the opposite effect to the author’s claims. He invented nonsense for himself. Yes, and friends, "put in a log."

    Garbage in vegetable oil.
    From the holes in this log there will be steam which, in revenge, by the gaseous products of combustion will fly out into the pipe.
    It is clear that the only effect of this eternal log is that it takes up a place in the furnace and less firewood will be spent on the stove’s full load.
    With the same success could put in a furnace, for example a brick or stones-naked.

    Really complete nonsense, Gregory correctly noted about the humidification of fuel with water vapor and, as a result, a decrease in the rate of their combustion. Due to water vapor, you reduce the temperature in the furnace, so the fuel does not burn completely, and unburned flue gases fly into the pipe and litter it with soot. Read about Kuznetsov’s stoves and in the same line of brick boilers with water heat exchangers - there will be more sense, on the contrary, they seek to place the water heat exchanger in a separate furnace cap so as not to lower the temperature in the combustion core, and you also pour firewood with water

    There is such a topic. Movie on the Internet. The Miracle Membrane. The version is described, why steam supply in the furnace allows to increase the burning time of firewood.
    As I understand it, the essence is as follows:
    The overheated steam (maybe from the "Eternal Log") passing through red-hot, burning wood, essentially through carbon, decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen. I'm not good at chemistry. The process of separation of H2O into H2 and O occurs precisely with the participation of carbon C. Then hydrogen burns. This is the additional fuel in the stove.

      What makes you think that some additional fuel is taken?

      It’s simple that what it is burns more slowly (and with more losses).
      This happens because water vapor, unlike oxygen, does not support combustion.
      The more steam is supplied, the greater its content in the gas mixture and the less oxygen in it.

      That is, this h ... ovine, acts as a covered blower (that "door" at the bottom of the stove, through which the air supply is regulated).
      It performs worse, with increased heat loss and various other “side” ones, but it does firewood, when they are cooled with water vapor and slowed down, they “burn” worse and longer.

      That's right, only carbon burns in oxygen, and here hydrogen in the process of thermonuclear fusion turns into helium. Thus, in this design, an efficiency of 100500% is achieved. And absolute environmental friendliness!

    Dear Philistine, there are a lot of videos on the Internet that show different miracles. That is why it is recommended to have your head on your shoulders. The decomposition of steam into hydrogen and oxygen, followed by the "burning" of hydrogen - is just one of the wonders.
    Water just does not decompose into oxygen and hydrogen. To break the bonds of a water molecule, you need to spend energy and considerable. Hydrogen, burning in oxygen, forms ... water. Feel the perpetual motion machine smell? And what do we know about perpetual motion since school?

    Place a furnace with a flue gas afterburner and a long burning mode. The benefit in the Russian Federation is made by relatively good cast-iron stoves of such a plan. From one load of firewood burns for more than 4 hours. Firewood completely burns to ashes, but dry firewood is needed, as well as a competently implemented chimney with a revision, a condensate collector ... The pipe for such stoves is usually assembled "by condensate", but if the chimney is well insulated or lined with brick, it’s quite high (above the ridge at least half a meter!), then you can collect and "smoke". This mode of the furnace furnace is economical, but not in the best way affects the condition of the chimney. For prevention, you need to at least a couple of times a month to heat the oven with dry aspen logs or special eurowood for cleaning the chimney. Then in the autumn, quite easily and quickly, the chimney prepares for the next heating season - for everything about fifteen minutes and about half a scoop of soot! This is if everything is done wisely. If the chimney is pulled, then not only will condensate leak into the house, but smoke will be thrown into the house from the furnace, and the chimney will have to be cleaned a couple of times a month (also with raw firewood). In principle, in a normal system, the chimney can not be cleaned for 4-5 years, but this firstly increases the risk of fire due to soot burning in it, and secondly, such a chimney is then very dreary and difficult to clean (most likely it will be necessary to disassemble).

    There is another serious minus of such logs for use in conventional furnaces - they are their brick and clay. constantly steaming them with steam greatly reduces the life of the stove and leads to rapid destruction. For example, I will cite gas burners installed in conventional furnaces for heating. During combustion, carbon dioxide and water vapor are formed. Such designs lead to the destruction of the chimney after 3-5 years. bricks begin to fall out.

    Dear, you have a uniform mess in your head! Load the stove with raw wood (the water content in freshly cut wood is 70-100%) and you will get a very slow burning, but a decrease in the calorific value due to vaporization and shielding of the combustible wood cracking gases by this steam and entrainment of them unburned into the chimney, therefore, the high heat capacity of the steam it's rather a minus ... If you are counting on the formation of "synthesis gas" and its combustion, then calculate the total heat - it will be exactly the same as the combustion of coal in oxygen ... Tip: hand over the "log" in scrap metal and arrange outburning gases.

    They burned a fire in nature. Once an unusual phenomenon was observed. A flame about 5 cm long and about 5 mm thick burst from the log with noise. It lasted about a minute and went out. This place was not logged on fire, 10-15 centimeters outside was. Normal dead wood. What could it be? Now we are criticizing this “eternal log”, but maybe we are not catching up with something, because our judgments are based on experience and knowledge.

    On the merits of the question: this "log" should be called a "heat accumulator" and everything will immediately become clear.

    And to make a normal stove weak?

    Ideally, this steam should warm the rooms. and here it will be deposited in the chimney, after the furnace the bricks in the pipe will be wet and they will be torn by frost.

    There is so much noise from nothing. It is clear that everyone is talking about the law of conservation of energy. (Oxygen / hydrogen). And the fact that more heat-intensive steam will take more heat into the pipe (into the air around), and the combustion process will receive less energy, with the corresponding worse burning of firewood and excessive emission of unwanted gases and soot. The meaning of the stove is in its heating and subsequent heat transfer, and not in observing a boiling pipe among the logs. With the same success, you can put an aquarium there and with fish without any drilled holes ... And it is more informative, and more useful if you add salt to the lavrushki ...

    Guys, I read some reviews. there are both skeptical and approving. but the truth is said about the log. although I am not a supporter of the log. for me it is better to synthesize a generator on a dropper. and the operating time is higher and safer. And put a stainless mesh on your log from above. not necessary to buy. You can cut off the machine from the washing machine drum. there is everywhere on scrap metal. so as not to clog with ash. now I will never heat the stove the old fashioned way. wrong effect !!! holes should be 8 mm in diameter. about. inside, fill the stainless steel from the hoses of the bathroom faucets. which are also in the garbage and use for health. By the way, in this case, the stove blows too much and there must be a valve on the pipe. the oven works on its own. only a click is needed in the chimney, but only when there are coals in the stove.on simple cold wood does not work! and best of all are chip debris !! like coal in burning time. It has already been tested and for quite some time. if the evaporator becomes clogged - then hit the hammer several times to knock down scale and scale and again into the furnace! try it. do not regret it! open the site-- burning water. but everything is superficial. or synthesis gas. on YouTube.

    Just steam makes it difficult for air to access fuel, therefore, it reduces speed and, theoretically, increases combustion efficiency, and also, in view of its higher density, reduces the speed of gases in the chimney. Otherwise, the method has only disadvantages. The same effect is achieved by adjusting the blow and the valve in the chimney.

    Yes, there is nothing to be fooled, I just piss the wood. The wood stove (chipboard) goes especially well.

    Sometimes these "eternal logs" explode sickly. And on the topic of complete nonsense, drown with raw firewood if you really want to. And even better, use the right stoves and birch firewood.

    The holes should be from the bottom and met.tube connect to the water supply then 100% efficiency

    INTERESTING INVENTION ....
    BUT I DID ON OTHER.
    I have a BIG FIRE. AND WHAT I WOULD NOT DRAIN FREQUENTLY, I JUST PUSHED LARGE CHOCKS, RAW AND EVERYTHING, ON THE BURNING COALS. BURN SLOWLY AND LONG. EVEN ALL NIGHT.
    SO EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON THE SIZES OF THE FURNACE AND THE DAMP OF THE CHURK ...
    COME IN THE MORNING, TAKE UP AND BURN AGAIN.
