Martin Boll and Jeff Davis posted pictures that went along with the original discussion. The new stories with better copies of some of the pictures are given here.

Parker Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2012 12:20 PM To: Discussion of biomass cooking stoves Subject: Re: [Stoves] Powering a TLUD Fan In a discussion of Martin Boll's Malot-blower, in July 2007, I proposed the use of a bellows. (<http://listserv.repp.org/pipermail/stoves_listserv.repp.org/2007-July/0068 56.html> Review the whole thread, Martin's idea is worth a re-read. Jeff Davis did some follow-up development on the idea.) Coincidentally, that next day I observed a model of an organ bellows, a single hand bellows feeding into an intermediate bellows with a weight on top which provided a steady flow into the organ. I am sure you could treat the inner-tube in a similar way, blowing it up with a bellows, or even by mouth. Would applying a weight provide more consistent pressure? Calling a tank of compressed air an 'air battery' seems to make it more acceptable to the electronic gizmo crowd. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_battery> Andrew Parker (Not AJH) _______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists .org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://www.bioenergylists.org/ _______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://www.bioenergylists.org/
