Thanks for sharing. No relation I
think to any tests performed at stove camp. But since there was
considerable interest (half?) at ths camp in char-making stoves, I wonder if you or
any holey briquette user has tried to save (and then analyze) the nice looking char you showed after the briquette had been fully
pyrolyzed.<br><br> In your writeup, you mentioned the Roblok vimeo at <br> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1t6eD9Ijwc&feature=player_embedded<br><br>which in its last segment talks about removing the charred briquette so as to avoid the problem of excessive CO release. <br><br>
This CO problem with char consumption was a constant refrain (from Dean
etal) at the camp. Since I am trying to maximize char production, I'd
sure like to hear about rocket stove designers who might be working this improving
indoor air improvement angle (adding to the soil and climate benefit
reasons). Not many rocket stoves have the ability to so easily remove char.<br><br> As said earlier, the stove camp briquette press
was for for longer rectangular "sticks" designed for regular rockets -
maybe especially for the institutional rocket stove type being produced
by InStove (which factory we visited)- which showed up very well (by
far the best) in the camp testing. Production to start soon overseas as
well.<br><br> I am going to write something next about my thoughts after trying to produce a third shaped briquette.<br><br> Hope this answers your questions.<br><br>Ron<b><br></b></div><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Daniel Roggema" <droggema@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Saturday, July 27, 2013 11:38:47 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Stoves] Aprovecho Stove Camp- regarding briquettes<br><br><div dir="ltr">If briquettes are on the agenda at stove camp, here is a link to a video on a flexi-fuel (briquette/stickwood) prototype I was working on a couple of years ago.<div>(there is an accompanying text explaining the context and objectives of the project on the drop-menu right underneath the video ) :</div>
