[Stoves] Micro Auto Gasification System

[Otto Formo]

Dear Crispin,

Nice to see that you are active in the new year and have finely relized that gasification is the way forward.

Even for the American Navy.........still they claim this to be brand new technology (widely used during World War II in Europe) and seems not to be fully aware about the energy content, to utillize the gases for heating or electricity......., yet.
The MAGS run by electricity!

Now it is high time to involve the developing world, too, to utillize the gases for cooking and heating, as well.

Otto
