[Stoves] Biochar and Uganda and Char-Making stoves Re: Fw: [biochar-stoves] [biochar] Biochar Production and Cook Stove Events in Oregon During August of 2016

Fri May 20 10:08:36 CDT 2016

Dear Hussein,                (Future "Reply all" messages will only go 
to the Stoves Listserv and Biochar Listserv).

Thank you for your introduction.  Your accomplishments are impressive.   
And your objectives are of interest to many of us:

About your stated interest, please clarify for us the 
size/scope/power-level/etc of what you hope to accomplish.  Power 
generation could be measured in a few watts for charging phone (such as 
using TEG technology and a cookstove) or making killowatts of 
electricity with devices that are much larger than residential cookstove 
sizes.   How much interest do you have in the TEG approach?

Of special interest to the readers of this message are the efforts that 
combine with cooking and especially with "char-making" stoves and devices.

Paul
