[Stoves] [Jatropha cake properties]

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Tom

Thanks to Tom, Dr Tom and Dr Paul

Did you put a pot on it? I am interested in whether or not the flames
touched the pot more than usual. That has to be judged by someone who knows
the stove and other fuels well. If the fuel is oilier, will it make the
flames longer to the point that they run along the pot creating more CO?

It may be that a J-seed stove needs a different flame path length to get
great performance.

Burning Jatropha seed in a Tom Reed Woodgas Stove at ETHOS 2011. No
emergency vehicles were called and no adverse symptoms were recorded by
observers. Greatest danger was that the seeds "pop" occasionally. 

Thanks to Paul Anderson for the demonstration.
