Well that didn’t work either.

The power of esbit.

3 tests at 72 degree start temp. 58 degree air temp. calm conditions, 4 cups of water 1 regular esbit cube. Kmart grease pot.

1st test + no boil, water got to 209.9 degrees

2nd test = no boil, water got to 198.9 degrees

3rd test = no boil, water got to 210.2 degrees

Not too shabby for 1 esbit.

I used a Brian Green Esbit tray with bread pan corners to burn the esbit in.

Here is what the set-up looks like:

What did you do differently?

I use visual instead of text.

I typed the entire post over at whiteblaze.net and then cut and pasted it here to test it first before placing it in the esbit testing thread. It worked :-)

different test

A quote from bplite.com. Post made by “tony” of Backpackinglight.com Tony posted those photos here but I couldn’t find them.. I wonder what the pattern would look like inside a Caldera Cone type pot support/windscreen. Seems to me there would be very little beneficial turbulence.

(quote) “Studying fluid dynamics is what I do for a living.

If you look closely at this shadow graph image of a flame from a cat can side burner stove under a pot you can see the flame coming out of the side of the stove, there is no sign of turbulence until the flame goes up the side of the pot and starts to mix with the (or entrains) surrounding air.

I have also included some shadow graph pictures of the flames from other alcohol stoves and until the flame goes up the side of the pot in my opinion there is no sign of turbulence.

I know this is in the test forum but I hope we get to hear more about this. That photo is really interesting. How do you take a photo like that?

Matthew, my guess he used a frosted glass behind the pot/burner and the glass was back lit with diffused light of some kind. Maybe fluorescent ???

engineers have interesting lives ;-)

If you do it in sunlight and look at the shadow you can see similar

thats so cool. I’ve seen it before in sunlight but I love the technique for photographing it. Very simple.
