Alexis,
Great progress!!!
1. I think you mean to say carbon monoxide and hydrogen not
carbon dioxide.
2. Can you please provide a diagram or explanation of the continuous
feed operation in the lower part of your new RH stove. Is there
occassional human action required to remove the char or to advance
more rice husks?
3. Your calculation of the heat being less than 1.5 kW seems low
for the amount of visible blue flame that you have.
4. When and how can other people obtain access to the acutal units
for testing and for experimentation?
Thanks again for sharing your developments!!!!
Paul
