If some water-vapor was split into 2h and O, that would be an excellent ignitable mixture, and that could be a reason for better burning of slightly moistened, than bone-dry wood.</div><div><br></div><div>- In that context I draw your memory to the S<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">amuchit elfd sampada</span> stove, (mentioned some weeks ago). </div><div>( look: <a href="http://www.indiamart.com/samuchitenvirotech/">http://www.indiamart.com/samuchitenvirotech/</a> ),</div><div>It gets it's forced air-stream by steam-injection (by a venturi-pump).</div><div>- Though not having seen it actually, I like that low-tech-concept!</div><div><br></div><div><u>I assume in the discussed manner:<b> </b></u></div><div>In the S<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">amuchit elfd sampada</span> stove, there is </div><div>as well condensation of water (falling out before the burning process) and </div><div>as well some water-vapor, going into the burning-chamber, </div><div>- which i guess further, could be split into 2H and O to make favor to the burning-process, </div><div>especially if "very dry" wood is being burnt.</div><div><br></div><div>- Kind Regards to AD Karve!, - who certainly can tell about facts instead of guesses.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards </div><div>Martin</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
