[Stoves] A simple method of soot measurement

[Paul Anderson]

Dear Anil,

I  agree with Frank that your work is quite interesting.   It is sure to 
stimulate further research questions.   One that I will add is derived 
from Frank's comment about collecting soot on paper.   If that 
collection works, perhaps the camera could be on the BACK side of the 
paper, measuring what actually comes through the soot and paper.    
There are some special papers with highly consistent transmission of light.

Congratulations on some innovative appropriate technology.

Paul
