rocketstoves - www.ErnieAndErica.info Ianto Evans, Leslie Jackson, Ernie Wisner, Kirk Mobert, Paul Wheaton, and other friends are among the researchers developing efficient, clean-burning, affordable stoves for a variety of heating and cooking needs. This group developed and published the current editions of Rocket Mass Heater, or Rocket Masonry Stove, designs. The technology combines an innovative clean-burning combustion chamber, with an earthen masonry thermal mass, resulting in extraordinary heat capture and low waste from an incredibly small amount of wood. The goals of Rocket Stove researchers include - meet human needs for food, warmth, comfort, and safety - conserve fuel (over-harvesting of firewood affects droughts, famine, and climate), - clean air, reduce smoke-related health and environmental problems - turn wastes into resources, e.g. find new uses for junk & scrap - encourage resourceful thinking and hands-on problem solving - offer affordable, clean alternatives to conventional technologies
RECYCLE A REFRIGERATOR INTO A SOLAR WATER HEATER Related Content CD and DVD Recycling The CD Recycling Center of America announced that it has chosen the United States Postal Service as ... Design and instruction about how to recycle a refrigerator into a solar water heater. Recycle a Refrigerator Into a Solar Water Heater Everyone knows that refrigerators are good for storing cold. Ever go riding or walking through the countryside . . . and discover an old, abandoned Frigidaire, Kelvinator, or what-have-you just sitting there collecting dirt, leaves, and field mice? For a while, I felt good knowing that I was helping to clean up the countryside, and recycle tons of valuable metals (thereby reducing the need for mining). "Surely," I said to myself, "there must be some useful function that a precision-made, well insulated 'cabinet' can serve." The Solar Water Collector The "shell" of the collector was easy enough to make: All I did was nail together a 5 inch by 2 foot by 4 foot box out of scrap lumber and wood paneling. OK. Miles K.
Particulate Emission in Rocket Mass Heaters... Looking for Data!!! (rocket mass heater forum at permies) I was looking for scientific publications on anything closely relating a rocket mass heater just the other day. The closest thing I could find were journal publications on particulate emissions for masonry heaters. The studies were typically performed in Europe. How I found the articles (abstract only typically): scholar.google.com did a search on 'masonry heaters' To my knowledge, I don't think anyone has done any particulate/aerosol studies on RMH. A quick solution maybe an electrostatic precipitator. Yet, in the greater picture forest fires are way more polluting/particulate generating than residential fireplaces.
How to Build a Simple Rocket Cook Stove « Canadian Dirtbags December 13, 2010 by cdndirtbags Rocket (cook) stoves are as cheap and easy or as expensive and full on as you want them to be. Our first one was made using materials on hand: a coffee can, two progressively smaller cans, and a couple of handfuls of diatomite. It was never intended to be anything more than an experiment, as evidenced by the fact that I left it outside to rust for the last year, though it did come in handy when we lost power and wanted hot tea. The basic idea behind the rocket stove is to use minimal (wood) fuel to heat a concentrated area. The stoves are generally meant for outdoor use as they don’t include a chimney. For those of you who just want to get started though, and intend to use the stove outdoors, here is a list of what you’ll need: a large can, and two progressively smaller cans, some scrap metal, clay (optional), and some nonflammable material for insulation like industrial vermiculite, perlite, or diatomite. Then make a hole in your mid-sized can. Like this:
Wood Burning Stoves 2.0 - the DVD(s) by paul wheaton The stretch goals ... If we hit $100,000: I pointed the video camera at all the cool stuff at the workshop, just like I said i would. The crown jewel here is the rocket mass heater, based on rocket stove technology. Ernie and Erica Wisner have built over 700 rocket mass heaters and what was shown at this workshop is the result of their most advanced work to date. Here are Ernie and Erica showing off an earlier rocket mass heater: The first DVD will be "Fire Science". fire burning sideways and upside down bare hands bonfire tricks rumford effect fireplace designs flammable chimney demonstrations stump stove diagrams and physics and math, oh my! The second DVD is called "Sneaky Heat". The third DVD is called "Boom Squish" - named after a series of podcasts where we discuss the dangers and strategies of alternative hot water. The final DVD is called "Hot Rocket". The four DVD set will be called "Wood Burning Stoves 2.0". Thanks for PR help from Hartke Communications. Thanks for the bump from:
$350 Solar Heated Hot Tub Search The Renewable Energy site for Do-It-Yourselfers Brian's Description: Here's some info on my project. I didn't take many pictures, but the construction is pretty basic. I framed the collector box with 2"x6" lumber and 1/4" plywood, the size is about 26" x 8'. The pump came from Lowes and is the Garden Treasures MD170 fountain pump. We are real happy with our choice of the 150 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank for our tub. I am using 3 sheets of the 3/4" blue Styrofoam for the tank cover. I did spend about $400 on this project, but did already have some of the materials. Tank $120 Pump 30 Urethane ins 90 (with shipping) sheet insulation 50 CPVC 75 I had most of the wood already, used sections of a old water hose between tank and collector, with pool noodles for insulation. I'm sure I left out some details, so feel free to ask questions. Brian And, the this note on performance from Brian: Was in the hot tub last night at 110 deg, still 106 tonight without running it today.

Construction d'un chauffage à bois Rocket de masse. Du bois. (Vidéo) Image credit: Paul Wheaton From rocket stoves aiding relief in Haiti, to building your own cookstove, ultra-efficient rocket stove designs have been around for some time. But this one is a little different. Should we be nervous? Admittedly, Paul—who brought us videos on how to build Hugelkultur raised beds, and how to use moldy hay as lawn fertilizer—is not crazy enough to build the whole stove out of wood. Still, it's an interesting and attractive spin on the traditional rocket mass heater.

Bekijk onderwerp - Rocket stove ontwikkeling Met dank aan Gandalf voor het terugvinden van de tekst na de servercrash van 24 juni 2011. Berichttitel: Rocket stove ontwikkelingGeplaatst: di jun 14 13:42:49 Na de cycloon avonturen had ik me voorgenomen om een oud idee uit te werken. Het zal wel weer te maken hebben met gelaagdheid, in de heatriser dit maal. Verder heb ik het testbed naar binnen verhuisd en aan de bestaande schoorsteen aangesloten. Om kort te gaan, de constructie is eenvoudig. De metingen waren aanvankelijk geen verrassing: de verwachting was dat het ding een heel onrustige grafiek op zou leveren en dat deed het ook. De bovenste rij cijfers achtereen volgens: zuurstof, rendement, koolmonoxide en eind temperatuur. Ik ben gaan knoeien met hoeveel hout er tegelijk in gepropt kon worden zonder hem de hik te laten krijgen. Het is heel eenvoudig om de 2e stroom praktisch te laten stoppen door het hout tegen de kant van de burn tunnel te laten leunen. Voorlopig heb ik nog wel wat te doen! peterberg schreef: Dutch John schreef:

Elles sont - dans leur ensemble - désormais classées cancérigènes pour l'homme (groupe 1) par le Centre international de recherche sur le cancer (CIRC)[1]. Les PM (pour matières particulaires d'après l'expression Particulate Matter(en)) désignent les particules en suspension dans l'atmosphère terrestre[2]. Un taux élevé de particules fines et ultrafines dans l'air est facteur de risque sanitaires (maladies cardio-vasculaires, altération des fonctions pulmonaires, cancer du poumon).

Le Rocket Stove WINIARSKI (four-fusée) Le Rocket Stove WINIARSKI (four-fusée) Durant ces 13 dernières années, des variantes du Rocket Stove ont été construites dans plus de 20 pays. Efficacité : 12-42%. L’efficacité dépend du type d’échangeur de chaleur utilisé. Le coude du fourneau peut être fait à partir de différents matériaux afin d’améliorer sa longévité. Chacune de nos cuisinières à bois comprend une unique chambre de combustion. Ce coude est alors placé à l'intérieur d'un conteneur complètement isolé. Le fourneau-fusée (Rocket stove) est un perfectionnement du feu de camp avec trois pierres, mais constitue seulement une partie de l'équation. Ce dessin montre une mince pièce de métal ( une jupe) enveloppant la marmite.
Bekijk onderwerp - Rocket-stove of een batch-rocket? Zie zo, gisteravond net voor ik naar het werk ging nog vlug de batch rocket zelf uitgetekend met de maten, die ik had van de tabel.Eigenlijk is dit goed in 3 delen te gieten.De boven zijde van de vuur kamer.De riser zelf.En de grond plaat met de zij wanden met schuine zijde in de vuurhaard.Deze laatste zou die in een stuk mogen of zou het beter zijn om de grond plaat en de zij panelen apart te gieten, dit om barsten tegen te gaan. Hier de foto van de batch 177 versie. De riser word 108cm hoog. Met een diameter van 15 a 16 cm naargelang de diameter van de buis. Ik vind om de mal te maken eventueel nog de vuurhaard iets verschalen indien nodig moest de buis 16 cm zijn (binnen diameter). Met deze maat kan de binnen-diameter van de kachel ook al een heel stuk verkleinen om zo op die manier zo dicht mogelijk bij de m² oppervlak te raken zoals de rocket/bell. mvg pedro
Solar Water Heating Projects and Plans Solar water heating systems have a good economic payoff, and are manageable systems to install or build as a DIY project. Some of the solar water heating designs are very simple and low cost. You can save as much as $7000 by building your own system. There are just over one hundred projects with full construction details listed below -- all free. The projects range from simple batch heaters for warm climates through closed loop and drain back systems that will work in any climate. One of the systems is our own $1,000 solar water heating system that has provided a solar fraction in excess of 90% through our cold Montana winter. My thanks to the people who have built systems, and then taken the time to send in pictures and descriptions for others to use.
