Kirk,<br>
<br>
The Wonderwerk Man has again done wonderful work!!!! Stove Summit,
Stove Camp, assisting Dennis (who then won the Cat Pee award), and
cooking with Flip. It is always a pleasure being with you.<br>
<br>
The hypothesis (explanatory document) is well done. All serious
stove researchers should read it. Where is this document being
placed for public access. I offer to place it at the
drtlud.com website. (Send your reply to James Schoner directly or
via the Stoves Listserv; I will be in Mexico for the next 13 days).<br>
<br>
Hypotheses are statements that ask to be confirmed. The folks with
the scientific equipment can now step in and see if the long-chain
hydrocarbons are indeed breaking up when and where indicated by the
hypothesis. Good if that could be soon, but I expect not. In the
meantime, the excellent low emissions (which are facts, not
hypotheses) speak for themselves.<br>
<br>
The needed scientific studies would help answer several questions
such as whether all three steps (levels) are needed to accomplish
the low emissions and the ability for turn-down to low fire.<br>
<br>
About turndown such as when cooking in Flip's oven, a different
solution is to have a second gasifier reactor (fuel chamber) that
has a smaller diameter.<br>
<br>
Keep up the good work!! (werk)<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Talking about stoves at the
InStove Stove Summit and Aprovecho Stove Camp made me think
through the workings of our Wonderwerk TLUD-ND. I needed
to create a working hypothesis of why it burns as cleanly as
it does. Attached is the hypothesis. It may not be
completely correct, but it does provide an explaination, or at
least a place to start an explaination. There is a lot that I
don't know about this burning method and a lot of work left to
be done.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">At Stove Camp, Sam
Bentson, Aprovecho's lab engineer offered to help me probe
into the pressure variations in the stove. I was sadly
involved with too many things to take him up on it. My loss!
What I did do was to support Dennis, a visiting student from
China, in his development of a wok support with skirt and
chimney. </font> <font face="Arial" size="2">He tested it on
top of the latest Wonderwerk TLUD-ND stove and the results
were impressive. He made several adjustments to the
dimensions which seemed to improve its performance even more.
He required only high power and no turn-down.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">After Stove Camp I visited with
Jon and Flip Anderson. We put an older Wonderwerk TLUD-ND
under one of their clay ovens, and baked a cake. It required
two fuel (vertically arranged split sticks of an unknown
variety of hardwood) loadings of the stove, the first to heat
the oven and give about 30 minutes of baking and the second
finished the 1 hour baking time. This showed the need for
turn-down capability for oven baking. The latest Wonderwerk
stove, which I had left at Aprovecho, would very likely have
done it with only one load of fuel, because of better
turn-down and more efficient burning.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I hope you enjoy looking through
the hypothesis.</font></div>
