[Stoves] J-seed TLUD development Re: [Jatropha cake properties]

[Paul S. Anderson]

Crispin,

I did not put on a pot.  I had only conducted this demo twice before  
at my home as a proof to myself that with forced air it is possible to  
keep the flame low and intense.  I do not consider the Campstove to be  
a serious contender about TLUD combustion of Jatropha seeds.  But I am  
quite convinced that a TLUD-FA (Forced Air or Fan Assisted) can in  
short order handle the challenges of oil-seed fuels like Jatropha.

In my case, there is a serious shortage of Jatropha seeds as fuels,  
and a shortage of time.

As others get into this effort, I will give them all the assistance  
that I can.

J-seed TLUD stoves offer a great opportunity for those who step  
forward.  If interested, get started with either hands on work and/or  
contact me.  J-seed TLUDs will be a part of most BEF Stove Camps held  
in Jatropha-producing areas.
