| I am Dani from Switzerland and I follow different stove designs with interest. I did not yet build a proper rocket woodstove, but as an experimental physicist with practical experience in different tecnical sectors and with a very good imagination and knowledge of physical processes I understand many reasons of good or bad working stoves. But in the end: Nothing is better than experimenting and practical experience. Most of my inputs will be theoretical. Physics is only right when every fact and every factor has been considered and there are so many factors changing a wood burning system...
A Big Big THANK YOU for everyone experimenting and sharing the experience with us all, only by doing so we can go further and beyond actual knowledge

| Daniel, Welcome to the forum. It is always good to have a physicist on board the forum. If you have the knowledge, there is no reason you do not experiment as well...after all food cans are a major leftover gift from our modern society. | |

| So glad to have you with us, I will be the first to admit that I honestly do not know what I am doing and am like a man groping in the dark.
Due to two engineers taking the time to interject their ideas for vortex applications and recycling gases has been the only reason why I took their description and fitted into my designs the best way I could see.
Again welcome, I am looking forward to your insights and knowledge base. | |

| By the way once upon a time I was intrigued with chaos theory. I am not educated by any means and picked up a book on chaos theory and could not put it down, loved it.

| Thank you for the warm welcome! My nickname chaosgarden comes from the fact that my vegetable garden looks like total chaos - like in pure nature. Nature does not create rows of one type of crop, but plants grow all mixed without any special pattern - one plant helps the other to grow well. I like to take nature as the best guide for practical applications...

| Hi Dani and welcome, I learned not to grow carrots in one big block together and now mix in onions, leeks, and herbs. Not had trouble with root fly since. | |

Dani Dani, Now you're talking about my field of speciality...I am an Agronomist specialized in Quantitative Ecology and in "pure nature" (suppose you mean natural environment with living organisms interacting with each other) there are very well defined patterns and rules, ultimately defined by thermodynamics, much like rocket stoves! But that and other issues are for us and other people to discuss in the chat one of these days, right? | |

| Caotropheus: I am not the "chat type" of person, but maybe once we will have tho occasion to discuss in the chat about Permaculture and a more sustainable way of living. We could all have the paradise on earth if there was no interest on money and if there was no possibility to multiply money by doing nothing...
If everybody would find out that happyness and satifaction have nothing to do with being rich in money and belongings, then we already had a better place for everybody here on earth.
I am strongly willing to build a small part of paradise - it could start with an ecovillage planned according to permaculture principles where every inhabitant is a part of a big family, each one gives his / her skills for the benefit for everyone - all without any money. In this ecovillage one could live almost without needing money and having to put energy into the actual money system.
It is always better to work for a good project than to fight against something you don't like...
Have a nice day and enjoy whatever you are doing!!
