![]() It would need to be about quite long I guess.? Not that we know anything about illegal booze or as I call it… Rocket Fuel… I imagine the coils would kind of like what you see on moonshine stills. This way it becomes a sealed self servicing system. Why couldn’t there be some kind of a coiled copper pipe attached that uses a loads of coils of copper, similar to the inside of the tank, to cool the water and recirculate it back up to the top of the top up valve. We both said at the same time when we saw the steam outlet and the water top up process being shown Mr L… My lovely wife and I watched this again on Sunday PM here in the UK… I know I’ve already posted one this thread but… PS ill be putting up some new posts shortly about a new style of very efficient barrel oven that ive built for the Koanga Institute in NZ while i was there. Im hearing yields of roughly 1 kg of plastic to make 1 litre of high grade oil to run a diesel engine on. As an interesting side note there are some very clever people cracking plastics back into their constituent oil products using only a fraction of the energy gained to complete the process. Yes you can do it but it is a fairly complex process and more importantly optimizing something like that for a home built system would take a considerable amount of time and effort. The whole idea of the rocket stove is complete combustion so typically the oils and other volatiles are consumed in the process. Thomas in order to “crack” oils and volatiles out of the wood you have to heat the wood in a low oxygen environment (pyrolize it). Having said that without the support of Geoff and the Institute i wouldnt have had the time nor resources to do the work. All i’m interested in is that these ideas get out there and so are freely given. I’m somewhat confused as to peoples fascination with who originated the idea. Hello all i’m pretty slow so hadn’t seen this till lately. This particular stove is specifically for heating water, but other designs can produce thermal mass space heaters as well. In this video, Geoff Lawton takes you through the design of the rocket stove mass hot water heater that very efficiently provides reliable daily showers for the many students we receive at PRI Zaytuna Farm. Removing tree cover from the upper watershed is particularly damaging, but persistent demand can cause too many to shift the goalposts on how much should be allowed to remain….Īlong with passive solar building designs, a rocket stove hot water heater can dramatically reduce the amount of wood used to heat a given amount of space, or a given amount of water - down to as little as a fifth as much as a regular fire. The pressure for fuel wood is on in most parts of the world. Life without trees is impossible and to satiate our hunger for heat, richly biodiverse forests are being replaced with ‘sterile’ monoculture tree plantations which give rise to tree diseases and other ecological vulnerabilities. Life without heat and hot water would be very unpleasant. With deforestation still moving ahead apace, dealing with the global demand for fuel wood is critical.
