<div class="ecxmoz-cite-prefix">Hey James<br>
<br>
I have tried to to make a Jatropha oil lamp.<br>
At that time I found that back in time before the electrical bulp
was in use, People used oil lamp. Likely the best of these lamps
was based on the lamp developed by Argand.<br>
I build one lamp based on his principle and it worked well,
however I stopped working on it as I got concerned on the issues
of health effects from gasses from the toxic elements in the
Jatropha seeds.<br>
<br>
Yours<br>

<div>Does anyone have experience of oil lamps (specifically
Jatropha) that they could share with me please?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm involved with some work assessing the small-scale
production of Jatropha oil and it's use for lighting and can't
find much other literature on the issue. I'm after a
description of the design of a lamp that has a proven
performance, has achieved customer acceptance, and that is
ideally commercially available.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, any help with an evidence base for toxicity
(emissions not fuel) and mosquito repelling properties would
be appreciated. Once done I'll feedback to the list/website
with any relevant material. Please reply on or off list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers</div>
