Dear Richard
>NPR reports that the crushers are coming in from Swaziland. >Now who would be supplying them from there ? Some guy named Arnry Mijon. The Mijon family is famous for making high quality masons tools. He obviously moonlights for a no-income Social-Capital company for fun! Thanks is also owed to John Currelley who worked out the sequence and settings to produce that enormous throughput. I trust his construction knowledge (he is a farmer from Ontario). He built a concrete house that survived the quake, though it move about a metre sideways! Dang! I like the idea of making low cost stoves from a custom sorting of the crushed material. The StOvs Cooker and the Esperanza come to mind, as does the Lion Stove in a 100% pre-cast form. Andi Michel was working on that. It was on ProBEC's list, now sadly departed. The GTech guys are well advanced on looking at how to make strong things from the rubble - exactly the sort of skills we need for stoves. With that much material available each hut/refugee slab should include a $2 stove with recycled metal parts inside. All this is happening outside mainstream efforts using nothing but local labour. Maybe it will soon go mainstream! Ithemba alibulali (having hope won't kill you). Regards Crispin
