2nd Prototype...The Happy Doomsday Stove II



Modifications to the prototype 1 stove including :
 * welding pieces of steel ingaps where rice hulls fell through
 * Cutting a larger opening in the bottom where rice hulls burn
 * Adding in cylindrical tubes from the bottom of the stove for increased air flow to the fire


 * Testing Results:**
 * Could not get fire to be self sufficient.
 * Had trouble getting the rice hulls to light. They continually burnt out, even with an oxygen being fed to the fire via and oxygen tank.


 * Possible Changes/Additions**
 * Cut length of air pipes on outside
 * Make air pipes on the interior taller
 * Mesh grading on various widths (larger than the rice hulls) that can be moved to change the flow of the rice hulls
 * Modify gap that rice hulls flow through

NEXT STEPS
 * Build a new stove!
 * use lighter material than the steel on above stove
 * make stove versatile to burning different materials
 * allow chutes and burn tray to be adjustable
