The Components of the LuciaStove

[CardboardFurniture]

Interesting design Nat, thanks for sharing. I wonder how hot it becomes and in Haiti what can people use for fuel. Do they use the EverythingNice design? Will it work only with a fan? Is there a way to adjust the heat of the flame? Is there a way to add more fuel without having to take the pot off the top each time? Or do you usually put lots of fuel in first and everything burns downwards? How long will the fuel burn for? thanx!

Your welcome

Q I wonder how hot it becomes and in Haiti what can people use for fuel.

A Not very and in Haiti we developed three specific fuel options based on mixtures of locally available waste biomass.

Q Do they use the EverythingNice design?

A No the Stove hubs in Haiti (and ten other countries we work in ) use versions of the LuciaStove.

But how do I get my hands on one? Finding a dealer is proving to be difficult.

This looks amazing. Something so small can be used so economically, yet powerfully. I will watch more of what you do. I would like to live simply and make no great negative impact on my surroundings. I do not understand the fuel. Is it such that it burns to something useful or to total consumption or is readily available. I need to learn more.

Great stove. I'm having a hard time understanding the "coaxial" principle. How are you are changing the stove from pyrolytic to gasification mode? Does this stove use forced air? Are the top coaxial vents providing only superheated air, or are pyrolitic gases being sucked out from the bottom of the combustion chamber? A drawing or explanation would be greatly appreciated!
