Rocket stove with vortex
Re: Rocket stove with vortex
Le batchblock, evolution of batchrocket, seems a very interesting solution and a fairly easy implementation, because of the clarifications provided as to the best dimensioning to adopt. Its main attraction lies in the extensive testing it would have been subject to validate each aspect of its configuration. Its more compact and elegant shape makes it easier to integrate into the house.
This does not however condemn the classic rocket stove for uses other than housing.

I put the direct link, because the presentation of the home page, does not allow easy access.

Making one on the basis of a standard model is a guarantee of safety. Because it is proven!
It is obvious that this is an area where it is dangerous to fumble around.

Re: Rocket stove with vortex
Yes thanks. Good idea!
In addition to the danger, it also represents a pooling of knowledge which avoids disappointments regarding the results obtained. If it is potentially dangerous to grope, it is also very time consuming and sometimes discouraging, especially when this project fits (sic!) Into a large building site, such as the construction or fitting out of a house.

Re: Rocket stove with vortex
Yes, it looks "a bit" like my German buddy's mass stove. In much less voluminous. Is there a function that closes the exhaust when there are only embers to keep all the heat inside?

Re: Rocket stove with vortex
A total closure would not be wise as long as there are embers: their combustion requires oxygen and in case of insufficient, would generate highly toxic carbon monoxide. This closure could only be imagined once the combustion is completely finished, to avoid a loss of calories through the chimney.

You know, Ahmed, it's never 100% waterproof, luckily.

Re: Rocket stove with vortex
Of course, but the argument also applies to the possible diffusion of CO gases towards the interior of the home and since, on the other hand, the production of CO supposes a minimum supply of oxygen ...
In any case, I would like to build at least one of these days the metal part of a batchblock, but for the moment I have another project on the fire (+ the ordinary occupations of a retiree!) .. .

One more reason! If it was 100% tight the embers burning would stop immediately. It is indeed combustion with an insufficient supply of oxygen that can cause significant emissions of CO.

Re: Rocket stove with vortex
Let's say that with a perfect seal the burning of the embers would stop quickly and generate very little CO ... But I completely agree with your second sentence.

Hence the "fortunately".
Here, the stove at my friend's house looks a lot like this:
