Hi Paul

Here is the abstract I will be submitting:

FabStove – An open source “forced-air gasifier engine” kit design.



Biomass gasification combustion technology is well researched and is
one of the best known methods to burn biomass efficiently with very
low harmful emissions. The FA-TLUD stove design “invented” by Tom
Reed, and popularized by Paul Anderson (DR TLUD) is used in a number
of commercial products. Unfortunately they are expensive relative to
other improved cook stoves and thus have low installed bases.



The open source FabStove Engine design provides a modular framework
for separating the stove structure from the gasifier/combustion
engine, allowing the gasifier component to be adapted to many cooking
applications and styles. By doing this the “gasifier engine” can be
provided as a kit to stove integrators in different markets, and the
common parts manufactured in volume at low cost.



This approach is different to the way gasifier stoves have been viewed
in the past. Ethos attendees will be provided with drawings and videos
of the gasifier engine being used for different applications.
