My thoughts exactly!
Apr 1, 2007 at 9:24 am #1384419Maybe our experienced stove designers will understand the significance of his design. Here's a crude translation..
Miguel, help please?Rough translation..
Regarding the famous pepsi-can stoves from the 21st century, there is usually an oxygen deficiency. Installing a smokestack in the center removes this problem. Clean combustion is achieved.
Inhalation (of oxygen) takes place at the base. There are still many points to be improved, but this is designated version 1.0.
Fiberglass insulation is wound around the outer part of the smokestack, inducing quick evaporation(of fuel). It is about 60mm in total height.
The left side(picture?) shows the old 60mm model. The right side(picture?) shows the improved low 45 mm model.
A break(vent?) is inserted in the smokestack part. In order to improve the mixture of air(with fuel), it (the vent?) is devised in a feather shape.edited: replaced cm with mm
Apr 1, 2007 at 9:19 pm #1384493I was looking at doing something similar a couple of years ago when I started making pepsi a cat stoves. Was going to make a combination of a pika type stove with a chimney but thought it would be difficult to seal the ring at the bottm for fuel. Obviously these guys have managed it-would be great to see some plans/detailed drawings
