Hi everybody.
Well, i wanted to ask Peter what he thought of this core in the horizontal feed thread. But it seems to be locked. I can't reply there. Anyway. I've had this rumaging through my head, making a simpler horizontal core with available components (at least for me and some of the italians) 8 incher heat riser, about 3 times the mouth opening (well, not accounting the slanted pieces) 65% venturi. Thought, not at the back, since it proved to be complicated for me. On top. Seems nearly like an original rocket stove. Peter, do you think this could work? I'm thinking the venturi could be closed a bit more. And for sure i'm wondering if it's scalable. To make a fireplace ;D

Seems nearly like an original rocket stove. Peter, do you think this could work? To be honest, not at all. It's more like a mini Rumford fireplace I'd say. I won't be surprised when this thing would smoke like mad. The batch box works are leaning on the feature of bending the flames down in a short horizontal path by the incoming air. This won't happen in this setup, so the combustion would be not the same, almost certainly. The top four items in the experiments sector are locked because I had to move postings about personal topics and open new threads too often. |

Ok, thanks a lot Peter. You know, there's always things going through my head. I have another one i've been wondering about. Sketchup file below, named easycore2. And i am also wondering if the same, 30x30 internal dimensions, would work with no restriction whatsoever. No 65% or 70% venturi.

Ok, thanks a lot Peter. You know, there's always things going through my head. Good for you Max, keep it going. ;D This core (not your head) stands a better chance, provided you make the port as narrow as in the 6" version. In this way, the velocity of the gases is accelerated and have more room behind the port abruptly. Theoretically, the wider riser wouldn't pose a restriction. I do know of one man who built a riser using special insulating bricks which were too large. The stove did run conform wishes, despite the riser being nearly as wide as the firebox. I've drawn a possible setup for you, please try this when you can spare the time. |

Well, i still haven't finished sanding the water boiler. And my Landlord is getting suspicious. He's asking what that stove laying in the workshop is meant to be. I want to move, i need to move. I want a place of my own. |
