[Stoves] Using all the energy when char making

[Frank Shields]

Stovers,

 

 

Seems there is often a lot of wasted energy that could be used when making
char that is just flared off. 

I'm thinking the reason is that to convert to electricity one needs 1) a
very clean syngas 2) an expensive motor and 3) costly up-keep. The generator
is a onetime purchase with low maintenance.

 

So why not use a steam engine to convert the flame to electricity? Perhaps
not as efficient but all you are doing is heating water so the gas need not
be as clean as when drawn into an internal combustion engine. 

 

 

Thanks
