Cool forge, but the can is aluminium...it will burn up....

hmm thats real neat, but why isnt the aluminum melting from the high heat? also doesnt the ash fall on the fan?

Add a miniature sterling engine and the fire can run it's own fan. lol
-
how do you made it??
-
that computer fan is failing!

Amazing bit of tec. Hope you come up with simpler design, though, because I don't want to haul a motor or battery. You've got great idea's. Love watching what you come up with.

very nice, i assume the fan doesnt get too hot as it is cooling itself with fresh air? I like the simplicity of not having to deal with ducts, and the aluminuam is a GREAT idea, trading off longevity for weight in backpacking situations.
for a higher energy density/weight advantage a couple 16340 li ion batteries would give you 7.2v, running the computer fan slower. Maybe that would be a good thing?

im the firestarter twisted fire starter

Marvelous! I have my fingers crossed that you release a AA-powered version ;)
-
yes

I love wood stoves because they can generate ALOT of heat if designed right.

is the battetry running a fan?
I didn't --I just unplug the 9 volt battery--but--you can put a toggle switch in the line anywhere to shut it off and turn it on

Solar!

Solar would be fantastik but probably not easily done for a low price. I also thought of one of those flashlites you shake or pump to charge the batteries

I would think that holes in the upper side of the can would give it a secondary combustion that might assist the flame more.

Good idea and worth a try

What's the current rating of that fan?
I know most batteries have 160mAh, and my 8x8cm PC fans need 100mA to work.
The system would work roughly an hour and a half per battery, you should carry a pack of batteries or a couple of rechargeables, but that beats the survival point I think.
Nice videos and designs!

A alkaline AAA battery has by the charts i have -2122 mAh i have not checked the mAh draw of this motor but I am going to use a more robust and low draw motr in the final product
