[Stoves] TAO-Test (Three At Once)

[Boll, Martin Dr.]

Dear fellows of simple-stoves (tincanium, mud, etc.), simple stove-tests and
all.

 

Thinking about differences in woodgas-burning in other topics, I think it
worth to bring my idea of a TAO-Test (Three At Once) to discussion:

 

It is possibly too simple to mention, -because we all know, that nature
makes it like that-, but I dare to do:

 

Proposal: Testing of simple stoves by the (-I call it-) three-at-once-test
(TAO-test. That means:  Three identically stoves, but with (only) one
(small) difference. The best tested of the three leads a step further (I
hope/guess it does in most cases), and so the less-good two stoves have
helped to find the right direction, to go further.

 

By that: It was helpful to construct those stoves out of changeable parts,
to make a new TAO-Test under new conditions easier and quicker.

So it is possible to draw a "genealogic-tree" of the tested stoves.

-That includes in my idea changeable parts of clay! (Get them easily sealed
with mud, to endure a TAO-test-burn)-

-Chrispin, from that point of view I asked a lot of months ago about forms
to cast stove-parts. You have been elsewhere on travel and you did certainly
not get the information. I have to re-look for what I asked precisely-

 

-In some cases, there could be (tripel/TAO-)tested sectional differences in
the round/cercle of the same stove, to determine the favourite
dimension/shape; e.g. for secondary air-holes.

The favour of the TAO-test is a step (and be it only small.) forward to more
perfection (or less misfortune!!) by each triple-test, -without knowing in
advance which of the three is the favourite one.

-By that, it could be helpful to propose some "construction-standards" to be
able to connect parts and to compare tests. 

-Possibly working with cans, we had to describe these cans (by measure and
forming, and not only by the cans "coffee-name") to be exactly known/used
internationally.

But that would be task of the specialists and practitioners.

 

Let us have fun with the small difference(s).

in stoving!
