Hey, very cool! Last week, I lent a cooking gasifier to a girl from Stanford that's going to follow-up the UC Boulder research in a village north of my base in Ho Chi Minh City.
If you're interested in this area, let one of us know (I copied her on the email). The project is 10 weeks, seems like such a great application area. Marc Paré B.S.
