I would be interested in feedback from some of the experts on this forum, I have drawn inspiration from some of you.

To be honest I could use help for the contest and with commercialising the technology. It is a long way from New Zealand to Washington DC when you have to take a wood stove :-) I was at university studying Architecture before I conceived this so I am just a babe in bioenergy terms. Here are a few more links: An early prototype.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_or6IOozs1A http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=3796842 http://www.flickr.com/photos/thefiremaster/ I started simply trying to get secondary air into a wood stove that didn't have it, but achieved a lot more in the process. An independent laboratory test on just the low setting lifted the performance of an old wood stove from 52% efficient to 75% while simultaneously lowering emissions from 4.5g/hr to 3.6. Output increased from 4.6Kw to 6.5. I have made it better since then, particularly on the emissions side, but don't believe it is perfected yet. There are two models, the Mk I draws secondary air from inside the fire while the Mk II requires penetration of the wood stove for secondary air. I would love to hear your thoughts.
