Rocket Mass Heaters – The book, by Ianto Evans and Leslie Jackson
Nov 27, · Rocket Mass Heaters, also known by the acronym RMH, are the latest rage when it comes to extremely efficient and sustainable heating methods using low tech materials and basic workmanship. Even if the name sounds pretty high tech (I mean the Rocket part), Rocket Mass Heaters are not complicated and in certain situations, it may cost next to A rocket mass heater (RMH), also known as rocket stove mass heater, is a form of slow-release radiant heating system, designed to primarily heat people and secondary to warm areas in line of sight around it. Variations of RMH can also be extended for the functions of cooking, heating water, and producing warm air for distribution..

Introduction — By Leslie Jackson. Rocket Stoves were invented as a solution to the problems of third world communities, cooking in enclosed spaces with scarce fuel resources on three-stone hearths three equally-sized rocks supporting a cook-pot over a wood fire.
Fuel scarcity, poverty, and indoor pollution, not to mention health issues like asthma showing up in the kids, rocket mass heaters pdf download, and greenhouse gasses from all kinds of inefficient combustion, drove aid organizations to look into the kitchens rocket mass heaters pdf download the problems and the solutions.
In the s, a research group of fire scientists in an organization called Aprovecho Research Institute were challenged to design a wood-burning device that was easy to reproduce out of inexpensive materials, that would burn the wood so well as to emit very little smoke. The Lorena Stove that Rocket mass heaters pdf download Evans developed in Guatemala is one such stove.
Ianto, a Welshman, a recovering Professor of Landscape Architecture, rocket mass heaters pdf download, and likely the best Ecological Designer there is, was one of the developers. He traveled to kitchens in Africa and Central America; spent time with usually women in their kitchens, and cooked with them. Ianto spent a lot of time cooking and speaking various languages with third world women in their smoky kitchens to come up with the Lorena Stove.

The rocket stove burns cleanly and almost completely, and it does so by means of a combination of materials that is it built with, and geometry. The chimney is insulated, maximizing its interior temperature, thus helping the fuel burn completely. The wood is small, dry and straight.
The chamber in which the wood burns is of a size to reflect back on itself, also maximizing the burn by helping it stay hot. The opening in the stove in which the fuel is fed, the chimney on which the cook pot sits and the gaps—around which the gases flow past and around the cookpot—are very carefully sized to control the amount of oxygen mixing with the burning fuel.
Knowing what we know about indoor cooking health, if we can warm a pot of soup with minimal fuel and minimal smoke, can we also create indoor comfort, warming bodies?
Today, rocket mass heaters pdf download, Ianto Evans teaches people to get off the treadmill by living simply, in hand-built homes with renewable energy, and food growing. Working with the problems of human comfort back at home in rain forest OregonEvans started playing with storage of the heat produced by these fuel-efficient wood burners.
A masonry heater can be installed for 10 or 20 thousand dollars and will last for generations, providing a pleasant kind of heat from its mass; a wetter, more comfortable form of heat than a metal box stove, which burns to the touch, and cools down as the fire dies. If we can mass-produce a five dollar heater that cooks food safely, does indoor heating comfort need to be so out-of-reach? Ianto writes:. A gigantic cultural deception: We have been persuaded that houses need to be heated.
So why bother with any heating at all? Because in cold weather we humans have inadequate heat generation. New wood burning stoves can be pretty efficient at turning most of the wood into CO2, water vapor, ash and heat, getting that heat from Stove to Chilly Willy is still wildly inefficient. We rely upon radiant heat, which effectively toasts one side of the human while the other side continues to freezeand advection, that is, blowing heated air into the whole room.
Well, you can sit or lie on your Rocket so the heat goes right into your body, helped by your weight squeezing body parts onto a warm surface. Conduction more than convection or radiation. A Rocket Mass Heater is a wood-burning stove that uses Rocket Stove technology to burn wood very efficiently and clean, and to then store the heat it produces in thermally massive rocket mass heaters pdf download bed or couch you sit or lie down on.
By understanding enough about how wood burns and how heat moves; and by understanding the role of the materials in the parts of the stove, you can build one of these heaters for yourself, using the materials available and inexpensive to you—often from your own waste stream.
In its basic form—the Ianto-Style stove, as people call it—there is a combustion unit the rocket stove with an overturned gallon oil drum surrounding the insulated chimney, which traps the gases and feeds them down and around the insulated chimney into a manifold from which exhaust pipes—enshrouded in thermal mass cob in this case —run through the bed or bench.
Some, like Art Ludwig wrap the drum with fancy decorative metalwork, which also rocket mass heaters pdf download the uninitiated from leaning against its hot surface. In Denmark, there are rocket mass heaters, with masonry in place of the oil drum.
I have seen the cob bench or bed evolve from a blobby mass with cushions, to a sculpted day bed with designs and relief sculpture, creating a cozy work of art on which to snuggle. The sky is the limit with cob, since you sculpt it by hand. Designed by Flemming Abrahamsson in Denmark, of Fornyet energi. Rocket mass heaters pdf download provides a pre-cast combustion unit, and hand-holding. The homeowner built this herself in a solarium. The culture of DIY, teaching rather than contracting for othersand open source sharing on forums instead of writing patents—which can stop the technology short of its full evolutionary potential is hand-in-hand with the revolutionary philosophies of living in simplicity, and taking our housing and energy needs into our rocket mass heaters pdf download hands.
Evans and I wrote a little booklet called Rocket Stoves to Heat Cob Buildings in It tells the story of the rocket mass heater and instructs a basic model with illustrations. Now init is a perfect-bound paperback and downloadable, rocket mass heaters pdf download.
pdf called Rocket Mass Heatersreflecting the fact that today, these stoves are in wooden cabins, rocket mass heaters pdf download, conventional homes, and strawbale homes, earth bag homes, rammed earth, adobe, earthships, etc. In the time since its first publication, it has been translated into Russian, French, Japanese and Spanish, and workshops are taught on every continent. Two major contributors to the Second Edition inKirk Mobert and Ernie Wisner both started online forums to save time as their inboxes were flooded with the same questions.
Now with several forums in several languages worldwide, people are finding workshops, sharing regionally-specific materials resources, and building together. At the workshops, perform a live fire show, telling the evolution of the stove through fire and story. com [Photos: Kirk Mobert. Owner Dan Antonioli wanted a wood-fired rocket stove water heater to supplement the system, so that during a busy workshop—or just a shower-house traffic jam!
He also wanted an opportunity to further remove the Laytonville Ecovillage from dependence on fossil rocket mass heaters pdf download, take advantage of an overgrown forest with tons of small diameter wood, and have fun geeking-out on rocket stove technology. In addition rocket mass heaters pdf download running the first online forum for rocket mass heaters, Kirk runs Sundog School of Natural Building in Point Arena California.
