[Stoves] FW: South African "TLUDs" with coal ---- TLUD Stove history

[John Davies]

To Crispin , Paul and All,

Tom kindly placed the full details, together with the earlier article in
June 2008. This includes Photos of the first demonstration prototype.

Go to the site, ( link at the bottom of every mail ) - contributors - Davies
- Coal gasifier stove. 

As I said, My time is limited, But will gladly communicate via e-mail with
anybody wishing to use the design.  My latest burnet has a deeper cone which
causes fewer flamed to touch the pot.

I have not had the time to build the cheap  combustion meter I am so keen to
do. I have the sensors and have not progressed any further. 

I previously trained 4 unemployed people, to build the stove. As far as I
can find out , none of them has ever made another stove.  It seems much
easier to live on government grants, and the odd day's casual labour.
One told me that it is hard work.  Well maybe one day they might use the
skill learned.   Many want a stove, " on the give me basis".

Regards,
John Davies.

Dear John

>I do not have the time or funds to promote it myself. I have put the 
>design
in the public domain. Maybe someone will take it and promote it. 

Have you placed a complete set of drawings in a findable place, like the
Stove list website?

If you don't have something 'technical' I can help you. As I have a
reasonable understanding of the product I could create the drawings for you
to check.

Thank you for offering to the public the results of your creative mind. 

I have located a company that is willing to make stove parts for a
reasonable price and have shifted some press work to them this week. They
are in Wadeville which is about as close as someone can be to you and still
be in JHB's heavily industrialised areas. He has done work for me down to
0.5 mm thickness on 420 SS. He has a CNC punch that can make 10 holes per
second!

Everyone can use work these days.
Regards
Crispin
