Frank,
More detail please. One more time for this old man. I'm familiar with the
babington burner, but that uses pressurized air to atomize the oil. Tell us
more about the burner you saw. Mucho details, poor flavor, some more.

John Britt's illustration of "Firing with Vegetable Oil" in the April issue
of CM without doubt provides one of the simplest approaches to this method
of firing.
An alternative approach to vaporizing oil (any oil) into a forceful flame
(burner) is to feed the substance through a hollow metal encacement which
stands on steel legs a few inches above a metal pan. An oil line is fed
into the bottom front end of the cylendar encasement. A small
piece of paper is lit in the lower pan to start vaporising the oil inside
the encasement, creating pressure, which is forced into a reverse directed
fuel line across the top and bending over into the cylendar cavity.
Ignition ensues, and voila! A large forecful flame flies out in a
continuous self generating manner. No pre heated kiln necessary! Boom!
The burner is in action with only a scrap of flaming paper !
Of course, the beauty of this system is that the burner is self contained,
portable, and needs no electric blower to create dynamic flame thrust.
I first picked up on this when observing large glass melting furnaces in
operation in Guadalajara, Mexico, many years ago.

oil burner as far as I know. It was published in my book, "Kiln Building
with Space Age Materials". I am going to make it available to you and
anyone else, gratis. It will be available anytime, 24/7, after
Wednesday, April 13th, by going to: www.R2D2u.com
You can download it by clicking on: FREE: Self Generating Oil Burner
