[Stoves] Woodgas stove film - A Modified kerosene wick stove frame

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Saibhaskar:

I looked at your movie and thought it was ingeneous to convert a 
kerosene stove. 

However, your flames are MUCH too high. And flame higher than 1" above 
the stove is quenched on the bottom of the cold pot and becomes a heavy 
emission.  You need to have a ratio of 5-10 times as much air for 
combustion as primary air for pyrolytic gasification.  Also you may need 
more air pressure at the fan to get enough turbulence for burning...

Good luck,

Yours truly,

TOM REED               THE BIOMASS ENERGY FOUNDATION
