The pressure is different at each end and along the path. This is a pressure differential, technically not a vacuum. Warm air rises taking heat with it by the process of convection. The mass of the warm air relative to cold air is less for a specific volume. Mass per unit volume is density. Less dense air rises. The energy is two fold. One is the velocity of the molecules of gas, that is heat. The second is the kinetic energy of the mass of the gas moving along the path. One halve the mass times the velocity squared equals the kinetic energy. That is separate from the heat energy. I hope this helps. Also the heat released is from a chemical reaction of oxidizing the wood. More heat is released later by reacting the byproducts of combustion at higher temperatures called pyrolysis. Turbulence caused by the vortex created when channeling the gases allows the oxygen introduced in the secondary air to combine at the higher temperatures more successfully. Mixing is the process name. The math for this is complicated because of the non laminar flow. Remember the refractory insulation radiates the heat back on itself - radiation. Convection moves the gases because of the density is different for warm air vs cold. Conduction is the heat you feel from touching objects that are hot or objects touching one another as in the stove handles connected to the fire box. Peace out!

Friend. it's not gravity that causes the gasses to get sucked up the long straight out pipe... Consider how much space cold air takes up vs hot air. That upper portion is not insulated. So as the exhaust heat conducts to the metal of the flue, the metal radiates to the air surrounding the flue, which creates a steady stream of hot convection currents that transfer that heat from inside the flue to outside it. As that happens the air inside the flue, becoming colder and colder as it rises, takes up much less space than it did in the hottest parts of the stove, and as it rapidly shrinks in volume it creates vacuum below, which in tern sucks more air into itself (and the system) as the pressure equalises. Which is an awesome thing.

I think it's called Bernoulli's Principle - yes he basically said the same thing earlier. His point was that it's a constant flow that adjusts itself based on either density change or temperature change. "In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.

@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 Thanks, I didn't know of Bernoulli, which is complicated for most people. Even saying "it's a constant flow that adjusts itself based on either density change or temperature change" goes over most peoples heads. My explanation was long but I think quite easy to get a grasp of, when trying to understand the entire fireplace principle. We generally think that we make fire, and hot air rises and that's it, but that is only part of it. Where actually it's a long chain of interconnected events that cycle constantly. Viktor Schauberger teaches about similar things and says despite it's simplicity nobody gets it (including modern science in most cases). He made flying machines based on natural motion not requiring fuel. Like the weather and water cycles that also require no fuel to work in perpetuity.

Hello. What are your thoughts on makeup air? With the being sucked out of the room by the stove, I am sure you will have negative pressure in the room, therefore promoting draft air through any cracks in windows, doors or even small openings in the wall system. Cold air that is.

Have you thought about a bell bench to avoid having to use the flu through the bench. You could use AirCrete pillars or bricks etc inside the bench or a an aircrete, slate, etc top to the bench as a heat sink. It makes the system much more portable and much easier to build. Just have air coming into bench high and exiting low to exhaust flu...

Are you still planning to use the heat fin/ aircrete bench layout? Cause if you are, you could cast the bench pieces including the fin and tube as modular blocks that just push together and can be configured into different layouts. Connect with 90 degree or U shaped pieces and fill just that section with gravel. This would make the entire system movable.

@Honey Do Carpenter and anyone really interested. First; I admire anyone who is a doer and maker. That said, there are so many things in this construction and explanation that don't make sense. I would love to hear why I'm wrong in my assessment of this. My questions are frank and should be of value for all of us so we don't waste time, money and energy. They are not meant to put anybody down. So, the first thing to note is that just ANY ol' camp fire "works" as a source of heat, so of course this RMH construction "works". The question is if it is *efficient* compared to other solutions; does it faster convert the energy in the wood into useable heat? Potential problems: - The very "mass" used; The idea with the mass is to have many molecules that take up the molecular vibrations (a.k.a heat). But "foamcreate" has subtantially less mass than e.g cobb and AFAIK one main point with foamcrete and similar is *insulation*, i.e to NOT take up heat! The hot air passes by without giving off it's heat energy. This makes me wonder what the exhaust air temp is? Can you put your hand there? (ideally can you put your hand where the air leaves the house). It should be "cold". - Further, how much energy is actually extracted from the wood? Is the wood *totally* burned up? An indication that this is not the case is seen in the (few!) videos showing the burn. Maybe I(!) am wrong but the burning just doesn't seem very rockety/drafty compared to "regular" RMHs. If it is not "fully rockety" with oxygen rushing into the fire, then you don't extract the energy efficiently. Another indication of "poor rocket" is the fact that you're using a lot of metal in this construction. This is just not possible in the "regular" RMH builds because they're so efficient that the metal actually melts/corrodes. That may not be desirable per se but, again, just to make wood burn is not the aim here. Again, please don't take this as negative critizism. I hope we can all find what works in this as I hope to build one of these things myself one day. Cred to Mr and Mrs Honey Do for generously putting up videos!!!!

11:52 could you use a kettle clicky thing for that? Also, you've got the secondary air inlet and the burn chamber behind the air dampener, doesn't that defeat the point? won't they be fighting for the same air? if they;re fight for the same air would they still super-oxygenate the riser gasses? also, if the secondary air passed the constriction without restriction wouldn't that increase the negative pressure, like a paint sprayer? is it possible to have too much negative pressure in that spot, requiring a dampener for the secondary air? is there no benefit to separate dampening of the secondary air and the burn chamber and is that why they share the same dampener/air source?
@HoneyDoCarpenter5 жыл бұрын
WOW! These are all great concerns, You truly get it. I am putting together a platform to allow all contributors to get credit for their contributions. I expect as this thing evolves over time you will be an incredible contributor. As for the gasification chamber and the vortex chamber competing for the same air, I have done this on purpose. It operates on the same principal as the regulator bulb on the back of my Foam Mate only it is backward. Instead of positive pressure from a compressor it is negative pressure created from the rocketing of the gasses up the riser. the air space behind the damper and in front of the burn chamber is critical. Although both draw from that same source of negative pressure they draw at different speeds and pressure rates as the negative pressure in the vortex is greater because the gasses must past by the restriction plate before that point.The burn chamber acts as a wide spot in the river of air flow and the air moves much less rapidly through there compared to the vortex intake. Hope this helps HDC

As an engineer I find your explaination of things fascinating because you seem to understand the fundamentals of what you are talking about well enough to apply them to what you are doing but you are technically wrong about some minor details. For example at 3:31 you say that gravity is a force of friction when a car travels up a hill and that it goes away when you travel down a hill. But gravity actually works like an energy storage device in conjunction with an elevated object similar to how a spring or a capacitor works because you get all of the energy back when you travel down the hill.
@HoneyDoCarpenter5 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for your comment. If I said that you are correct. I meant that it is a constant force of resistance along with any friction loss or atmospheric loss like wind resistance. Whether the force is behind or in front of a mass it is a constant. I was only using that as an example of force or energy Pushing a mass and apposing forces resisting that and how at some point you get to an equilibrium. I was trying to articulate this for the lay person as best I could. I was also trying to drive home the point that in a stove like this the pushing forces or energy that drives it is heat energy and that it diminishes through out he process and causes deceleration. I also wanted to explain that when the apposing forces are removed acceleration is possible. Also I wanted to drive home the point that in a traditional un-insulated stove pipe the heat energy pushing the gasses can dissipate so quickly that not only is acceleration not possible but that it steadily slows while going up the pipe as the energy pushing diminishes and the apposing energy stays the same. I don't know how good of a job I did. I am better at articulating these types of thing in writing and that is partly why I am going to start a monthly news letter for insiders. I find it easier to talk with Engineers like you. I am well aware of Moore's law X-Y graghs, Rathkeal's laws of Torque, fXD=T, Positive rotation, negative rotation, fulcrum points, as well as how direct or indirect forces work in these equations with the pythagorean theorom, sin,cosin,tangent. ect. But I find it hard to even talk to my wife about these things sometimes. During the housing and infrastructure boom in the mid 2000's There was a shortage of Engineers. My Brother told me that I could go to work as a Field Tech. If I could get Certified in acute areas of Engineering. I took their tests and was certified in about 8 different areas including soils, aggregate, asphalt, concrete,embankment, waterproofing, Hydraulics, ect. After about 18 months a position opened up in the Soils laboratory and whats even more crazy is I was competing with people who had masters degrees in Geology. I was awarded the position because of my command of soils mechanics, Hydrolics ect. I really believe they chose me because I could do the work and they could pay me much less. But whatever....... However, I want to make it clear that I am at best a self taught amateur mathematician with only a high school diploma. I worked for several more years until the recession hit hard around 2011. My wife and I ran across all of my certifications in the basement when we were cleaning last month. They are very professional looking on high quality paper with the ribbon boarders and every thing like a diploma or something. Mrs. Hoey do says I should get them framed and put on the wall in my office when we get our property. We will see. I Hope you will be an insider and contribute your Ideas and expertise. Much appreciation HDC
