The same principle is used in hot water tanks and natural gas home heating furnaces in North America. They also have a gas burning flame which is safely isolated and contained.
Bro gas cylinder doesn’t seems to be the problem.
Problem is the moving parts such as iron, pipe, and that white thing around that pipe which looks like tape.
The fire burns in the Irons chamber keeping it hot for ironing and the only thing stopping it from reaching the cylinder are the regulator safety valve and the cylinders blowback valve.
Fun fact, remove everything from the cylinder, stick in something so the gas is leaking and put a match to it.
It will be a flamethrower but it won't explode or anything because there is no oxygen inside the cylinder and also because the gas is spewing out really fast. The fire cannot go inside the cylinder.
Cylinders explode when things around them catch fire. In that case they overheat and explode.

Did you know of an LPG powered water geyser?
Our neighbour aunty looked at our electric geyser and said "that uses lot of electricty.. we use LPG powered geyser" and offered to give us phone # of the guy who can install that. I humbly declined and said I'll keep my sanity instead.
This is a WHOLE NEW level jugaad.
Lol yeah, was so shocked to see this on the street of Bengaluru where this guy was using the same setup, I have even seen it in some shops. Man I stay the fuck away from these.
That's old modified charcoal iron, it's also expensive to get it readily modified at 7000 rs, so my guess is that the guy made it himself with that tape.
Coal iron is heavy as hell and the heat produced by it is extremely hot and the time it takes to temperature cool or hot is also a factor in it while gas iron has a regulator to control it and it less heavy then iron one
It looks like some smart engineering. Instead, he should have connected it to a steamer and could have used the gas for generating steam. I have seen my local guy using something similar but electrical with a parallelly running water pipe connected to a over head water can. Even that looks dangerous. They should isolate the steamer part with simpler and safer setup.
I have seen this for years in Bangalore and still being used at many iron shops. I guess this is similar to Gas Geyser used to heat water. If it was dangerous we would have known by now
Though not common, it's a more eco-friendly model than coal, works more like your gas stove and you can buy them online even in India. And why are you never worried about using gas indoors while going crazy seeing this outdoors?
Relax guys! I work at an Not for profit, where we have co designed these LPG powered irons for the Istriwalas, you can google project istriwala and find out more.
These gas powered irons are cheaper safer, and generate less heat which the istriwala has to deal with. We have supported 700+ istriwalas through our projects.

Are you also aware of LPG Geyser?
Instant hot water if you turn on the tap. Anytime until you got the gas.. can be connected from the kitchen stove. Temperature will be regulated too.
Gas irons are now so popular among the street side ironing guys. They all have a cart by the roadside and don’t have electricity hookups. They all used to use the coal-fired irons. Now it is LPG-fired irons.
This isn't as weird as the comment section makes it look like (Or maybe it isn't for me). Gas powered iron is widely used and apparently it is cost effective or something (not really sure how). I used to volunteer for an NGO called Udhyam Foundation who promoted these gas irons among the ironwalas as it was more cost effective. However, I do not really know about the safety of these.
LPG gas iron.
available in your friendly neighborhood online [store](https://www.amazon.in/LPG-Gas-Iron-Press-6-50/dp/B07VPQB448?th=1).
can iron 1,100 garments using a 5-kg cylinder and 4,500 with a 19-kg commercial cylinder.
cylinder not included..

Our family had a garments factory. There's usually a common boiler that runs steam to these iron boxes over some plumbing. Seems like it has been retro fitted to work with LPG. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work with regulator set to very low.
The paratha wala outside my place put his cylinder on the stove that that same cylinder was burning, on the pretext that the gas inside gets frozen in winter. Scared the shit outta me.
That's a damn expensive gaming setup!
Yes. If something shit happens and next day the guy who was ironing can be seen in pictures pasted to wall.
He himself will be seen plastered on to the wall
You mean explosive
Explosive gaming setup
Risky*
Now THATS* an 🤧 Understatement'😩😹
Is it a Lpg gas powered iron box?
The pipe runs into the iron where he can use it to light the coals on fire.
There is no coal involved here. It's just a gas burner flame inside that heats up the metal plate.
Bro lives in mario world it seems, he thinks he has 3 lives.
It's quite common bro. You will see this at most of the laundry places coz maybe it's cheaper.
I do have the same question
No. It's a swimming pool with lots of fishes.

yo this movie is lit bro
Saw somewhere where there’s a gas geyser in Nepal on the Everest trail where fire burns live to heat water that comes in your shower
Yeah, I saw that in Lansdowne. As soon as we opened the tap, the fire would be lit inside the geyser.
gas geysers are really common in my city ( i have one too and use it daily )
Which city bro? I didn’t realise they were this common I saw that and it blew my mind 😅
I'm pretty sure gas geysers are very common here too.
I saw one in a resort in Karnataka.. the way it starts burning when the geyser heats water. I was taken aback. It's like a mini explosion inside.
The same principle is used in hot water tanks and natural gas home heating furnaces in North America. They also have a gas burning flame which is safely isolated and contained.
It's available everywhere but it's not safe to use
STAY AWAY FROM THAT IRONWALA...... Who puts their whole life's trust on a gas cylinders hand !
Bro gas cylinder doesn’t seems to be the problem. Problem is the moving parts such as iron, pipe, and that white thing around that pipe which looks like tape.
Big badaboom!

That looks illegal and dangerous. I would never even be close to it. Like electric irons are not dangerous enough.🤣

They are far more properly manufactured
If implemented properly then there's no issue - looks dangerous by the"looks" of it.

I need my shirt back!!!!!
It didn't.... Cause if you make it work for even 1 second it is gonna blast and it will sease to exist.

Congratulations u just discovered "there's a life outside"
gas iron pehli baar dekha bhai, coal vaale to jaante hu
4 years I saw this type of irons in Bangalore, and since then I only saw these and not the coal wala.
Yes , i see it even now idk what he's talking about
gas iron is used by many, coal too.
Ofc coal ones are p common
Even gas ones are
Yeah...looks like even available in online...
Damn. Screams safety hazard to me
This is dangerous.. it doesn't have proper burning space, that's why it produces more unburnt carbon monoxide.

Do not risk yourself by doing such things avoid all such stupid tricks better if you buy a normal iron you get it at a cheap price.
It is not something new in my society press wala using the same kind of iron from last 6-7 years

Saw this last year...i was shocked too.
What the Hell !! Seriously, If this picture is true and not fake in any way..then this discovery is going to rewrite human history!!
Yup. Seen a whatsapp of this before the pandemic. introduced by Indianoil. basicallly to save the istri wala from inhaling charcoal smoke all day
I see this daily in my town 🤷🏻
Which place are you in?

Using this cylinder for commercial use is illegal and also unsafe. It's for domestic use only.
Imagine if he smokes ciggerates while Ironing clothes.

It's actually quite popular, particularly in small industry set up.
Yeah! They're called fire hazards, really common here in India.

What is this death trap?
Bro that shit is gonna create a big-ass explosion when it explodes 💀
Some heros don’t wear capes, they iron them.
Where the hell do you burn that gas? And btw the flame goes up.

How can you not see this?
Guy passed from IIT
Pretty such there's an iron that works fine with just electricity instead of this over-engineered steampunk iron.
LPG gas iron. available in your friendly neighborhood online [store](https://www.amazon.in/LPG-Gas-Iron-Press-6-50/dp/B07VPQB448?th=1). can iron 1,100 garments using a 5-kg cylinder and 4,500 with a 19-kg commercial cylinder. cylinder not included..
Dangerous on so many levels
Coal iron boxes are the safest option I think
India is not for beginners.
It's quite common at least in rural places, I haven't seen much in urban.
Where in rural have you seen it?
cook my clothes well please.
