Stuff I Want Right Now -- LuciaStove
Just finished Albert K. Bates' The Biochar Solution (following up the cool stuff I heard about in another post). In it he listed a few new products that use or create biochar. Some I'd heard about already. Others. . . .
This is the inventor showing off his LuciaStove, a pyrolytic stove. These stoves don't actually burn fuel in the traditional way; instead, they heat the fuel and burn the flammable gases separately, leaving the solid fuel waste behind as a chunk of nearly pure carbon.
Ah, but the beauty is in how this stove burns. The flame, curlicuing on itself like twining serpents -- I could watch that for hours. And one can burn just about whatever fuel fits through the flame. It's both a simple and subtle. And they have a barbeque version!
