Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Just before posting THIS thread i thought i would just check it out with air it runs across my desk just like before would have felt stupid if it didn`t but it does and i`m really impressed little bit early to think of the final image but it`s always on my mind.  At the moment the burner is still my priority i can now tell different designs have different properties i know there are people out there who know about such things but i don`t please accept this is the first time i have done such a thing and my two priorities are the length of burn and it must be clean the first may be controlled by the amount of fuel i put in the tank or maybe not the dia. of the wick must play its part but you guy`s already know that.  Secondly it must be clean by that i mean a nice blue flame i think the "Holy Grail" when it comes to burners a candle flame only puts soot on your boilers. Working with meths during the daytime i find  hard to see the flame so need to find a way to darken the daylight maybe an upturned cardboard box which i don`t have but will need to think of something the following pics might interest some of you

So you see i have reached the "Holy Grail" if you have not seen a burner of this type with a blue flame you have now

I did a little tweak with the height of the wick and i can see a little difference in the flame this was done in the house just to get the pics and i thought  maybe enough in case things get out of hand.  Today is my Great grand daughters birthday so you know where i`m going tomorrow shopping so it will be the weekend before i can try out further trials. Will report further but i think i`m winning.
