Hello everybody.
I want to present my "rocket". It was done in two stages. On the first drawing, you see the original project. Unfortunately, it did not work, and there was smoke everywhere.
I then discovered this site, and with the help of Peter, I was able to fix things that made the rocket works pretty well. But there were always worries. I think on the ascent, there must be a bottleneck. But I can not access it without breaking everything.
So I added a floor: I made a hole in the top and add a little bell. From this bell, the smoke goes into a bench on the second floor of my house.
One morning I made a fire of 2 hours, and the draw was extraordinary. But I was afraid that the bell would not heat, since the smoke goes straight up.
When it ended, only the second bell and the bench were hot, and the principal bell was cold.
What a surprise to see that towards the beginning of the afternoon, about two hours after the fire stopped, all the rocket was hot, and even very hot. (I couldn’t let my hand on it)
In the evening at midnight, the heat was still there. The next day at 8 o'clock it was still warm and at noon there was still a little heat. In the afternoon, there was still heat in the bench on the second floor of my house.
So, in spite of my apprehensions, the system works very well, although different from what I wanted at the beginning. On the roof of my house, not a single smoke in sight.
I thank Peter for his help (I had to redo a p-channel and recut my port because the measures taken on the internet were not going at all).
Now, I have to think about the rocket in my kitchen and an off-centered room, but that's another story.
(I wanted to upload the photos, but I have this message: Unable to upload file first.jpg.

How can I do?)
