[Stoves] Rocket Fuel?

[Boll, Martin Dr.]

Jeff, Dan, Paul

 

Reading your comments I recalled:

1. Making jam out of berries containing pits. 

The pits were driven through a spiral. Very dry mass went out at the end,
fluids came out aside. (Such equipment was already discussed for
fuel-confectioning)

There were likely sausages, but not very stable against breaking.

 

2. Making potato-croquettes. 

The potato-mash was driven by a press through 3 or 4 holes with
croquette-diameter, one beside the other in a row.

These likely soft, breakable and not very form-stable sausages coming
parallel out of that press, landed on a flat tray that was mounted onto 4
small wheels. By the pressure of the out-coming sausages the tray moved and
the thread of potato stood in form and could at least be cut in desired
length.

( I found a picture and I can send this if you like.)

3. I watched naked snails that had come upon a concrete surface in the sun. 

They got dry hard and smaller.

 

4. Another idea: 

 If you put upon a sheet of newspaper two small planks parallel, put another
sheet of newspaper into the "channel" overlapping (the channel) fill this
newspapered channel with adequately pre-dried fuel-mash. Let it dry to
form-stability itself. The newspaper-layer is "anti-stick" and speeds up the
drying process from out of the base. That could be positive for stability
for less cracks.

Or other fuel-shape: three-edge-prisma-bar. Then you can cover two sides
with newspaper. Edge down, the two newspaper-sheets spanned by the mould in
the downward edge, then fill with wet fuel-mash.

Possible solutions for fuel-sticks?

I shall not make fuel-sticks, but I would like to give you ideas, possibly
to integrate into your process.

 

How about some "croquette"- or "Toblerone"-shaped cow-cakes to burn in a
rocket-stoves?
