[Stoves] "The Goose is out" - finally the "mobile adam-retort" is available

[Rebecca A. Vermeer]

Hello Chris,

I am interested in the Adam Retort masonry units for the Philippines.  Is the technology  (including drawings and step by step instruction video or manual) for sale?  what are the terms and conditions for the sale?  From what I can see on the web, all construction materials would be readily available in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, Philippines.  Charcoal is one of the fuels which my Eco-Kalan clay stove is using  ( http://youtu.be/mRdwiWkVf30).

Regards,

"The Goose is out" - finally the "mobile adam-retort" is available:

I am glad that i finally succeeded to design a workable "mobile adam-retort" which seems to be very promising!
Capacity about 430 litre of volume which can be loaded by about 150kg of wet wood or 120kg of oven dry wood.
Charcoal expected about ~35kg, we still have to do further test runs.
Operation time about 5 hours and cooling over night means a daily operation.
About 7kg of waste wood needed per hour for the first 3 hours to drive of water from sun-dry biomass (~21kg all together).
The unit can be operated and moved by one person, weight about 140kg.
And most important quite smokeless operation during most of the time, reducing emissions for charcoal production!

The retort is not recommended to be build individually, it should be mass produced by an entrepreneur, only with a well equipped metal workshop and a production line- the retort can be fabricated economically. So don't approach me for drawings for individual manufacturing, find an Entrepreneur who might go for it.
The "mobile adam-retort" has been accepted for patent application, too many good things in it...
