Camp stove??? Ho leeey! If I ship you the raw materials will you make me a plow?

Too bad it had to be using electricity instead of natural convection...

i want one.
and thumbs down to the guy who said "crap"

Ok, I see what you are doing. You have created an induced draft which will cause the wood to burn more efficiently by burning some of the gas byproduct from the combusiton. In essence you are creating a secondary burn effect without having a secondary burn tube across the top of the can to induce air at that point in the combustion. It is a neat idea. The inventiveness is cool. Keep up the good work. I did watch the other video. Much better than the first.

The only thing I can figure, is that your saying the carbon is being blown out by the fan. I suppose this is possible, but it's hard to tell from this 37 second video.
"Sorry man you are just increasing combustion due to an increase in air flow similar to how a blast furnace works. "
I grant your point The forced air is like a blast furnace. Wood gases are being generated to some degree and being burned even if not the entire source of the combustion.

Sorry man you are just increasing combustion due to an increase in air flow similar to how a blast furnace works. You are not generating wood gas and then reburning that gas to heat your water. You are doing one step similar to a campfire only slightly more efficient. This is a hobo stove at best

The fire is burning top to bottom, once a layer of carbon forms above the coals, wood gas should form. Air is introduced at the top for combustion, and it has plenty of heat. How does the fan keep the wood gas from being burned?

The fan does not keep wood gasses from burning. They burn w or w/o the fan. The fan increases air flow and burn rate.

Watch the second half of the second video posted here. No fan.. and it looks to me like wood gasses are burning.
