Dear Friends

This is a really rare product that, to me, looks promising for tropical regions.

[Video: Twins invent a renewable energy stove in Benin]

This is a fan-assisted stove with PWMR speed control that is designed to burn charcoaled shells or pits of palm nuts.  The text is "shells of charred palm kernels" - either it should say shells or kernels (pits) so it is not completely clear what goes into it.

As you can see it is intended to be charger/run by a small solar panel.  It is made by twin brothers Donald and Francis Zanhoundaho in Benin, though where the production takes place, I don't know.

It would be very interesting to get hands-on time with this product.  From the shape I suspect it is a charcoal gasifier with secondary air provided in the riser.

Palm kernel nuts are a major fuel with many industrial uses however this is listed specifically as using charcoaled pits, not the hard material directly.   There is the shell and there is the pit.  Both are dense and high energy.  I am wondering if they really are charcoaled first, or maybe there is a miscommunication.

Does anyone know about this product or fuel?

Thanks
Crispin
