Engine</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Here is a link to a very cool innovative steam engine design: <A
href="http://www.greensteamengine.com/">http://www.greensteamengine.com/</A>. One
big advantage of this design is that it scales down very nicely, suitable for
small-scale TLUD burners. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I saw it in operation several years ago. At the time he was looking for
licensees. </DIV>

[Stoves] Using all the energy when char making<BR>Message-ID: <<A

text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<BR><BR>Stovers,<BR><BR>Seems there is often a
lot of wasted energy that could be used when making<BR>char that is just
flared off. <BR><BR>I'm thinking the reason is that to convert to
electricity one needs 1) a<BR>very clean syngas 2) an expensive motor and 3)
costly up-keep. The generator<BR>is a onetime purchase with low
maintenance.<BR><BR>So why not use a steam engine to convert the flame to
electricity? Perhaps<BR>not as efficient but all you are doing is heating
water so the gas need not<BR>be as clean as when drawn into an internal
combustion engine. <BR><BR>Thanks <BR>Frank Shields<BR>BioChar
