I like Hammocks.

[No Idea]

This stuff works soo much better if you remember to stick your tongue out - just a little bit.

Its not a cold sore, Ive been working hard.

 

[No Idea]

Does the rope connect to the end or the side?

 

[No Idea]

Lunch time...

 

[No Idea]

I built it, I get to test it....

 

[No Idea]

Not admitting the knot slipped.

Your fault for not being quick enough with the camera

Why do you always talk about arrows when its time to get into a hammock, dad?

That Hobo Stove is niggling at me.

Havent quite worked out why yet.....

I think its somthing to do with heat transfer thats bothering me.

Need to do some more thinking....

Whats the problem with it exactly?

 

[No Idea]

Not sure.

Havent spent enough time looking at it and thinking about it

I was sort of thinking about the way the cpu proccessor in my computer uses a heatsink to dissipate heat into the passing airstream by massively increasing its surface area.

I wonder what happens if you skim the weight out of the base of a heatsink and jb weld it to the bottom of your pot.

Sort of....

Would it work better there or on the sides.....

I watched those pretty flames coming out the top of the fire pot and burn away from the sides of the water pot....

Wonder how I can get it to keep in contact with the water pot so it keeps transfering its heat to the pot.......

Its just niggling me.

Nothing actually coherent yet.

Need to play with it some more.

....It stayed up!

 

[No Idea]

The ends are hanging because without weight in it, we couldnt guess where we needed to tie them.

 

[No Idea]

Cable ties

and this end

 

[No Idea]

THe cable tie failed, so Im tying a knot in it.

 

[No Idea]

Will it stay up.....?

Er....

Not sure you are quite in the right place...

 

[No Idea]

 

[No Idea]

Brothers not looking....

Lets check if it is ok for him too....

Havent got a joiner yet, so its goung to be big clamps.

Happy with the progress on that.

Far from finished, but getting there

My Honey stove burns up the side of the pot also, well i think a majority of burners do too. I`ve never seen a problem with it to be honest. You could do a simular method as this stove Stratus TrailStove http://www.trailstove.com/ where it doesn't seem to allow flames to flicker up side of pot (Well minus hole on side of burner). But that all depends on your size of pot i guess. or if you seal the top of your hobo stove with some sort of heat plate.

Hi Sanji

I think that Trailstove is not quite where I want to go.

Hang on, give me a while and I will do some scribbles.....

I only have a limited knowledge of heat transfer, and not sure if I can explain the little I know, and what I am sort of thinking of.

If I want to heat the water in this cylendar, I would have only the surface area of the pot to get my warmed air to contact with.

The speed of the air flow and temp of the airflow and the contact area would directly relate to the speed of heat build up in the water.

 

[No Idea]

If the water was in a radiator, the surface area would be considerably more ie
speed and temp of airflow multiplied by the increase in surface area... I think.
