Hot damn, even I don't use that much butter to fry eggs.

I'm not sure where the term "reactive furnace" comes from. This is how wood stoves work. And I've never heard anyone call a wood stove that.

Also I'm not sure the practicality of this.

  • It's too heavy/bulky to carry if you need to bug out.

  • not good for indoor use unless fitted with a chimney and a better way to load wood.

  • can't clean it until it's out and cooled down

  • there are easier ways to burn wood

Its a fancy rocket stove

It is not a rocket stove. This is a very poorly designed shit stove.

Don't rocket stoves use forced air?

[–] 1 pt

Dont think so. But then again rocket stoves are fed from the side. Idk then.

No. The chimney pulls in air. The rocket stove is designed to be narrow all the way through so that the suction of the chimney can maintain a high air flow through the burn chamber. In a regular stove the chimney also pulls in air but the burn chamber is large and the air is not directed at the fire.

The principle is really neat though. Since the fire comes out the top it draws in air from the bottom, the hotter it gets the more it pushes air out, and in turn pulls more air in. It's a crude venturi effect. You can learn a lot if you just open your mind a little bit instead of being a grumpy ass 24/7 maybe 22/6.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. Your rebuttal has nothing to do with what I said. I know how it works. There is nothing to open my mind about. It's not a "reactive furnace." It's an impractically designed wood stove.

Wow... You mean a wood stove? Who would have ever thought. Thanks for the mind blower.

Imagine an automobile powered by solid fuels, it doesn't make any fucking sense!

Look up wood gasifier

This is what we should all be making

If you live in the sticks and have a lage supply of free wood.

I don't think living like a 12th century peasant is the way to go. We should be maximizing our wealth. Creating generational wealth. Because money is power.

Can you build a petrol refinery or a large scale hydro generator?

How do you plan to power your vehicles and home should gas run out and power cut off?

[–] 0 pt

Gas will not run out. If it did everything will collapse and you will have far more to worry about and nowhere to go. It would be far wiser to get an electric bike and a solar panel to move around with in the apocalypse.

No one needs a power plant to build wealth. But they will always be able to buy the products of power plants. Therfore the best course of action is to maximize your ability to produce wealth.

Solar panels on my roof. Yes, they operate without the grid if I want. It's called grid-interactive inverter.
