[Stoves] MAGH-CM1 Woodgas T-LUD Stove for Common Man

[Saibhaskar Nakka]

Dear All,

T-LUD stoves had been costly and beyond the reach of common man. To reduce
the price I have designed MAGH-CM1 WOODGAS T-LUD STOVE
http://e-maghcm1.blogspot.com/. It is a low cost t-lud stove i.e., costing
less than $7 or Rs. 250 (INR), safe and easy to maintain, apart from having
all the good features of MAGH-1 WOODGAS T-LUD STOVE or SMOKE BURNER STOVE
http://www.e-smokeburnerstove.blogspot.com/, i.e., High efficiency upto
~40%, Less smoke, conservation of biomass, charcoal is the resultant
by-product after every cooking. All types of biomass locally available,
about 1 inch in length fragments could be used as fuel.

The cost is drastically reduced because of adoption of a conical shaped
concrete - cement + fine sand mixture, is used for outer frame instead of
stainless steel body. Relatively concrete is less conductive as compared to
steel, so more safer for women and children. Inside of this outer concrete
body could be made glossy for reflection of the heat and less absobtion.

The thickness of the concrete is 3/4 inch, diameter 12 inches at the bottom
and 7 inches diameter at the top. Total height of the stove is about 12
inches. The combustion chamber is made up of stainless steel with ears so
easy to insert in its place, it is having primary and secondary air holes.
This stove provides additional employment opportunities to the rural people.
The only external things are the fan, AC to DC 12v adopter and power backup
accessories. The combustion chamber made up of stainless steel could be
replaced with the potters combustion chamber as shown in

of Good Stoves would be more attractive for the Common Man to own and be
part of mitigating climate change through adoption. The challenge is to
further bring down the price. This stove is declared as CREATIVE COMMONS.
