Evaporator Burner Improvements

In my youtube videos, I show my evaporator burner.  Well, I've improved on the design and want to share.  I'll have a video of it up shortly as well.  Here's a google sketchup rendering for now.

The overall operation is the same.  the improvement is the "tuna can" shaped evaporator on the bottom.  It allows for greater surface area and heat transfer, allowing you to turn the oil up higher for the same temperature fire.  I have seen significantly reduced melt times with this burner configuration.  It also makes for more uniform operation as one cold spot in the fire will compromise the whole evaporator.
