[Stoves] super low-cost and blue flame rice husk gas stove

[Paul S. Anderson]

Dear Alexis and all stovers,

Once again, a great contribution by Alexis Belonio.

Some minor observations that might later be clarified by Alexis:

1.  Last line gives the date of February 2010.  Should that be 2011?

2.  The downward progression of the pyrolysis front is "a fire zone  
rate of about 2.2 cm per minute" and the duration of the batch is from  
18 to 25 minutes.  That gives approximately 2 x 20 = 40 centimeter  
height of the fuel chamber/reactor.  Plus burner and base, it is about  
half a meter tall.

3.  The diameter of the fuel chamber/reactor is (my guess based on  
what I can see) about 4 or 5 inches (10 to 13 cm).  Nice size.

4.  Fantastic!!!!   "the casing is made of tin can and can be bought  
at a very low price from a Can Factory;"  Wonderful!!!  Now that this  
gets said and gets into production in Indonesia, perhaps the critics  
of "tincanium" will finally recognize that the tin can industry is  
potentially one of the greatest allies for making low-cost,  
ATTRACTIVE, stoves!!!

Well done, Alexis, WELL DONE.

Paul
