[Stoves] Fast Growing Fuel

[Jeff Davis]

Dear All,


Just some thoughts below:

Circulation of water and bubbling of CO2 (engine exhaust) could be done with a 
Bisschop engine and the heat from the engine would be used to cook.

The get rich companies that are working on algae to oil need pure algae 
cultures but I would think/hope that we could use local algae.


Best regards,

Jeff
