Subject: SPAM: [Stoves] ***SPAM*** Dung Rocket Stove - Failed Test

 

List,

 

Today we tested a dung rocket stove.  I'm a little surprised that the test was a failure.  Can anyone suggest changes?  And can anyone in India help us with our testing of dung as fuel?

 

This is similar to a sawdust cookstove.  We made cylinders of dung with vertical holes in the center and let them dry for more than a month.  We did not mix anything into the dung.  We used 5 liter paint cans to form the cylinders.

 





 

We tested with and without a metal can over the dung cylinder.  We raised the cylinder and lit a wood fire under it.  The fire was never strong and there was a lot of smoke.  Here is a video <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCrABfFFOVlvtGn925VW8FT9lXl660Zk/view?usp=share_link>  of the test with a metal can over the dung cylinder.

 

We seem to be having early success with upright dung sticks in a metal band and top lighting piles of dung patties.  But these need to be tested by people more familiar with using dung as fuel.

 





 

We could use some help from someone in an area where dung is used for cooking.  None of my colleagues live in such an area.

 

Thanks,

Kevin McLean
