Ultra Efficient Biomass Heater/Cooker

in #diy9 years ago

While I can't claim the concept of Rocket Stoves and Rocket Mass Heaters as my own idea, I've been working on simplifying the actual construction by creating a modular core that mass can be added around to store heat.

This was the first test burn and I've continued work (when time and funds allow) and have added a feature that allows me to burn wood pellets.

Wood pellets are a renewable resource, the machinery used to produce them can actually use biomass that would otherwise go to waste, like dead leaves. In addition, the pellets themselves are very consistent in their size and moisture content.

This test was done without an actual chimney, which would improve the efficiency of the unit.

One of the very unique features of this kind of combustion is that the flames are actually burning sideways rather than up. And the heat storage cuts fuel consumption by as much as 90% (I can't confirm this claim).

I'll post another video showing the pellets when time allows.
