I'm not sure if anyone has actually tried to measure this but it might be cool to know: how much thrust does a typical stove put out? I ask this because the name "PocketRocket" tickled my interest, is it really a rocket?
I'm going to assume that a canister stove might have a slightly higher initial thrust with dwindling returns whereas a liquid fuel stove could probably be tweaked to provide variable thrust.
I'm assuming a test rig would be something like a stove suspended by its legs (upright) to a fish scale. You could then find the difference between initial weight and weight while one and by subtraction figure out the thrust.
Silly? Yes. Could make for an awesome study? Maybe. Fun? Hell yeah! Obviously this has no use for us whatsoever, but it would be interesting to know how well these 'rockets' actually work.
