Very interesting. <br>
<br>
Cost for unit and output?<br>
<br>
Some technical people who understand stoves should please comment
on this as functional or not. Cost is a secondary issue when
electrical power is small quantities are possible!!!<br>

Subject: [Stoves] Using all the energy when char making<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>
