Winter is coming, time for the rocket mass heater project

[Tommey Reed]

Hi All,

Time is getting shorter every day as winter will be here in N. Pa.

This is one of my simple Rocket mass Heater experiment.

Nice design Tom, thanks for showing it.

Since the output is so cool, I wonder how a small centrifugal blower pulling vacuum on the output stack would help e.g. in startup and to help maintain the vortex in the main chamber.

With a speed control on it, the burn rate and heat output can be better controlled.

A vacuum at the top of output stack (on the outside of the building) is a lot safer than a blower on the input, especially if the system is not perfectly sealed.
