<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I agree with Paul Anderson and Ron
Larson. There is good reason to question any person who's writings are as
scornful as Nikhil's</FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>. He could easily make
his points clearer by cutting out the scorn, and giving more background to
clarify his statements. There are several people on this list
who write with this same scorn, almost like it is one person
writing under different identities. I find his writings confused and
because of distracting remarks it is difficult to follow his logic. If it
doesn't get better I think I will have his contributions sent straight to junk
mail.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Not to be distracted from the purpose of this list,
I have a thought about wood stoves. A small natural draft wood burning
cook stove that mixes the wood gas with secondary air in 2 cm has a
considerable advantage over a stove that may take 20 cm or more.
It's a little like transistors, which gave advantage over
vacuum tubes in electronics. Rapid mixing can enable a small wood stove to
burn quick and clean at both <STRONG><U>high and low</U></STRONG> power
levels. Witness the excellent numbers for the Wonderwerk TLUD-ND stove
which uses a rapid Venturi mixing technique. Combined with
the user friendly power level controls, the principles used in the
Wonderwerk stove hold considerable potential. Rapid mixing seems to me to
be a very good area for research. I wonder how many rapid mixing
techniques will be found over the next few years? I intend to
contribute.</FONT></DIV>
