Rock Rocket Stove Is Held Together By Coat Hangers
© Liz To Rocket stoves burn hot and clean, using very little wood or other combustibles. Vancouver industrial designer Liz To has designed a new version for Tibet, where they use dung as fuel. Liz notes that 1.6 million people die from indoor pollution from traditional "Three Stones" type fires every year. Meanwhile, in the west, 3.5 billion wire hangers end up in U.S. landfill every year. Designboom describes it: Canadian designer Liz to has repurposed unwanted wire hangers from north america as an opportunity for remote communities to build their own stove. It is a really clever idea; wire hangers don't take up a lot of space, (200,000 to a shipping container) but woven into the stove shape and filled with rocks, they become a stable and effective stove. The stove won a few Canadian industrial design awards when Liz presented it at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and deserves more.

Piec rakietowy
Piec rakietowy jest piecem podwójnego spalania. Oznacza to że oprócz drewna spala się również gaz drzewny, który w normalnych piecach, kominkach i kotłach opalanych drzewem wylatuje przez komin. Materiały: Przy budowie pieca rakietowego potrzebne są materiały należące do trzech zasadniczych grup:I. Elementy składowe pieca rakietowego (rysunek) Piec rakietowy w wersji grzewczej (mass heater) składa się z dwóch zasadniczych obszarów konstrukcyjnych – spalającego i odprowadzającego spaliny. Konstrukcja spalająca składa się z trzech elementów:1) pionowy podajnik paliwa (symbole A i B na rysunku), -2) pozioma komora spalania (symbol C na rysunku).3) wewnętrzny pionowy komin spalający – ang: heat riser (E i F na rysunku). Elementy 1) i 2) najlepiej zbudować z cegieł szamotowych ale dopuszczalny jest każdy materiał odporny na działanie wysokiej temperatury (kamień, gruba stal, itp.)

The first step (after prowling the web) was assembling the kit of parts. Here they are, arrayed on my front porch: on the bottom step, the item I was most worried about finding, the single burner hot plate. The last time I saw something like that , it was an illegal object in my dorm room, in a time before the web. (Yes, I am OLD!) In the middle, the cookery gear. On the top, the pottery. an azalea pot ($9.99) will be the base, and a bulb bowl ($6.99) will be the top.
