NY and Canadian companies win technology challenge to automate the wood stove<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.net%2Ftn.jsp%3Ff%3D001Yqy8TxF8iiwWFw3TFYxjhKa9eZs8eReeaqJD4CSJCe_ZaVJNhWfCL1t05r1BY_4G4WpO7JWBHerKDI-OU9-gH1eBGm0-1dj5XbjMK66UOlNbbf4OupJkF76Fp97EDO8LAGpX3cSv4DbSAE_ElTDOTGKnMufjTyxmXVAfyO7BtyILVHdsYl1aBv8qSxb89LAenjiEL_XLfEokCPCmMpi9BFZvGn5-Jobb%26c%3DZb1jHPv7ywEJrDdjhEsaJbygaeUffV4FUt3-ZQCcE0EaV6ZJ2A_JwQ%3D%3D%26ch%3DCtpoGXRbkxExKO77uT8rUUD12uBw56I_RuMe9V2lFHrXS2G_TynEvw%3D%3D&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cdb189a3a06a74a8c832f08d671896e4c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636821232404499483&sdata=QS7z5%2F8cszL2F35Cxwmpaov5dQPwIaXFYgBycig9U8c%3D&reserved=0>
Manually operated wood stoves are extremely common throughout the northern US, Canada and Europe but no one has yet popularized a solution to prevent them from emitting excessive smoke in the hands of operators.

The final tally: how much electricity can a wood stove make?<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fr20.rs6.net%2Ftn.jsp%3Ff%3D001Yqy8TxF8iiwWFw3TFYxjhKa9eZs8eReeaqJD4CSJCe_ZaVJNhWfCL1t05r1BY_4GD_gmhDEtlK-Euuu-xG2sR8-9yU39Gt2swbbJXSqCRXWRdTJauGsmA55vcQFG8l4o56KDIrX1S-_WPhnI35gSl5vzB9qtzAXG-pAke_MoPD_GStrrMKjXfWIQYJ9N4TVJM6L6ltONf9Hv3-6vqgbaoA5pywyNutpLS8IaX5-Zyes%3D%26c%3DZb1jHPv7ywEJrDdjhEsaJbygaeUffV4FUt3-ZQCcE0EaV6ZJ2A_JwQ%3D%3D%26ch%3DCtpoGXRbkxExKO77uT8rUUD12uBw56I_RuMe9V2lFHrXS2G_TynEvw%3D%3D&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cdb189a3a06a74a8c832f08d671896e4c%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636821232404499483&sdata=esQDmqX0mKCNCWeNJkDtFHcfrD66Fsy2iNbHOBE%2B13Q%3D&reserved=0>
The highest electric output was 268 watts, by a German designed stove that could be combined with solar panels. Others produced less than 100, enough to power what they are designed for - lights bulbs and cell phone chargers. Output should increase each year. And then there is also Okofen's Stirling engine, that helped charge a Tesla.
