Title: rocket mass heater build and burn
Post by: paul wheaton on May 21, 2010, 11:49:42 AM
My latest invention:  a portable(ish) rocket mass heater.  Complete
with a time lapse demo burn.

Thanks, Paul.

We have a pro here on the Rocket Stove built of cob also.  Andrew and family built one in their house in the U.P. in Mich.

Interesting experiment Paul.  Keep it up and let us know as you tweak the design (and make new movies).

Thanks for the video...you can really tell the difference with your new camera.  Very professional looking!   [cool]

A rocket stove is on the short list of things I really want to try building.

Looking forward to more of your videos!

My dear Glenn, always patronizing me... ::) *sigh*

I can give you my professional opinion of what not to do and how to breath enough smoke to get a good dose of lung cancer. :)

I always enjoy your videos, Paul, and they keep getting better and better!

I am thinking about putting up another oehler vid.  I am also conducting some experiments with youtube and the like - I could use some conspiracy volunteers.  Basically, each conspiracy task should end up being under a minute of effort and I share the results of the conspiracy.  If anybody here is interested, please check out this thread (http://www.permies.com/permaculture-forums/4147_0/tinkering-with-this-site/looking-for-conspirators).
