The true curiosity is the function and performance of this portable brayton cycle solid fuel burner. With 10kw of thermal output it cooks, makes hot showers, and about 50 miles per day of electricity for our Nissan Leaf!
With it's liquid cooled thermalelectric generator.
All with the same 40# of wood pellets we would burn to heat our house per day anyways...
Stacked functions and compounded cycle engines is where efficiency is at!
Equally impressive is it's lack of emissions, despite the solid biofuels quantity of hydrogen and carbon atoms to oxidize, the air fuel mixing and temperatures in excess of 2000 F are sufficient to bond and oxidize the carbon monoxide releasing additional heat.
Having burned said stove within a closed 1000 SQ foot shop for an hour with no perceivable scent, the air quality monitor showed the emissions buildup equivalent to living downtown in a typical America metropolis.
