[Stoves] New video from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan stove pilots

[Paul Anderson]

Crispin,

That is a very good video, especially for anyone interested in 
space-heating devices.  Strong (thick metal that is welded) and not 
portable, and long lasting.

Can you provide more images of the TLUD, please.

DRAFT is so important!!!   5 m of chimney is signficant.   This could be 
an excellent situation for using small blowers or fans (for primary air 
or for draft induction in a shorter chimney.   Does NOT required grid 
electricity if there can be some solar power (the schools function in 
the daytime) or some battery arrangement.  Tom Reed likes to say "1 W 
elect. will yield 1 kW thermal".

What sre the plans for any continuations of this work?   By you? By 
WB?   By others?   Great start!!  Congratulations.

Paul
