forced air woodgas prototype

This is a protype of my forced air wood gas stove. The fan shroud is mad out of cardboard and the beer can used is a Fosters "oil can".

In the final version the outer can is a Heineken can which holds up much better to the heat. And the fan shroud looks exactly the same but is made out of aluminum flashing.

The fan used is a 12 volt computer CPU fan running on only 6-volts. I've also tried 9-volts, but it may be a little much.

All in all it worked superbly...
