Improved Biomass Cookstove

Biomass Cook Stove

           Developing an improved biomass cookstove has a long history in our kitchen. I first started on putting an over-the-roof propeller, empowering the blower for the wood stove. That was on the year 2005.  Then I saw my friend bought a charcoal stove with a built in electric blower.  I was so fascinated with it, specially that it cost P3,500.00.  I immediately constructed one for our own kitchen.  I designed it different from what I saw.  Its blower assembly is 12 volts powered, and the stove is not fully dependent on blower because it operates even during brown outs, and it is much cheaper in construction cost. This design was in use in or kitchen for over two years, until I heard about syngas.  My first venture of construction was on November 26, 2010 and for over a year, I literally worked on designing a model that can be in the market as an alternative to LPG fuelled stoves.  Daily am working on developing a perfect one.  If I am not cutting thin cans, I may be sketching a design or searching in the WEB.  My question is: If syngas is really an alternative to LPG, or even replacement to it, why is it that it is seldom found in use in the kitchens? So my goal is to construct a form, and see it being widely use in the Pilipino kitchen and being sold in the markets.  For that so long a time, I am still in the process of observations and adjustments. I could see that a design will come out to realize my goal.
