<p style="LINE-HEIGHT:13pt;MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">When I
started my work with the Peko Pe (PP) 20 years ago the name TLUD was not on the
table. I called it the Multifuel Combustion System (MFCS) with an <b>energy unit</b> (the PP) just to put into a
stove.</font><b></b></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT:13pt;MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">I am
still of that opinion that TLUD is not a stove, it is a designed simple
container which can control the combustion of the fuel and give household energy
without smoke and soot. 2 energy units will give 2 blaze, 3 units will give 3
blaze or 3units togehet for big pots. <span> </span>It is pre-adjusted for time of burning
and pre adjusted for high efficiency for fast cooking and low efficiency for
simmering. For boiling un-soaked beans you probably need more time, the pot
stands on the stove and you can easy replace it, empty it for biochar, and
refill it ready for use. No hopper and no feeder needed. For bigger pans on
institutional kitchen you need bigger units and start with 3 units for 60 liters
pan, when it start boiling you need only one unit for continue the boil or it
will continue boiling from the glowing if you don’t want to take care of the
biochar. That’s the switch 3 to one for saving fuel.</font></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT:13pt;MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">That’s
what your horizontal Champion TLUD-ND also can do; the vertical energy unit will
give a lower stove and the pot close to the gowing heat, but is a bit secret
until I find someone interested and find money to test it. </font></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT:13pt;MARGIN:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font style="FONT-SIZE:11pt">All my
energy units is designed for production by local tinsmiths, which have had this
job for 100reds of years and they should not lose their jobs. Mass-production
will create more unemployment, but a kind of pre-stamped semi product for
assembling by local tinsmiths can do if more units are needed. There is a
production going on in Zambia by a mechanical workshop and also by local
tinsmiths.</font></span></p></div></div></div></blockquote><div>So much depends on where one is located in determining the benefits of mass-production.<br><br>Here in Vietnam a skilled welder received about $100 US per month. But even at such a low wage, this welder cannot compete with mass-production equipment that can make thousands of parts in a day. I think that a day is coming soon when high-quality gasifiers will be situated in many households in Asia. Bottled gas is getting too expensive, and people to not want to go back to burning low-grade biomass. So we must have the means to make a lot of units at a very low cost using quality materials. Also I intend to supply hard-to-make parts to workshops so that they can get units out the door in an efficient manner.<br>
<br>Similarly when we turn to China to buy fans, we get a far better price if we buy 10,000 fans instead of 200. This is the logic of mass production. It makes it possible to produce quality items at a reasonable price for a large number of people.<br>

with your authority as Dr. TLUD agree with this point of view, can tell ETOS and
GACC about it, it will probably change the discussion a bit. Another thing: The
energy unit and the fuel have to be seen as one unit regarding Carbon
