#13-PART 1 of 2-Joe Pipe-HOW TO BUILD A BETTER STOVE

[manchild002]

The direct heat of the Joe Pipe has plenty of heat, and if a posative feeback system can be used to generate an out layer of heat, the water sandwiched in between the direct and indirect heat should flash boil water. I've ssen the bottom of the tea kettle turn a bright orange with water in it. Your air gap where the water would be pumped though would be a minimal of 1, 800'F. A double element like this should do a pretty good job. Joshua.

the water will keep the pipe at boiling or below and the flame wont be able to attain that high red/white heat needed to break the water into hydrogen, it will just condense and drip...

What I want to see is an insulated pipe so it gets even hotter, no, a thousand degrees in contact with water! flash boiler! or else it will not get past 212 f. buddy..

@douglundy ya I see what you are saying, I was about to say the same thing. maybe a 2" joepipe inside a 4" air sheath, put that whole thing in. allowing the JP to get glowing red and maintain flame profile. also doubling the exhaust back through the water w/ an unsheilded 3" pipe like a big U,then surface heating it inside the containment on the way back to the right would help with water heating. more use of heat prior to venting
