This is my video footage of the gas pipeline explosion in Edison NJ (March 1994). This was taken while trying to evacuate the Durham Woods apartment complex
The Micro Mini Wood Gas Stove is made from recycled tin cans. The outer can is a 15oz Ranch Style Beans can and the inter? can is a 6oz Texsun Pink Grapefruit Juice can. The wood used is Hickory, and it was very dry and chipped in to small pieces about 1 inch long by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Approximately 2 teaspoons of charcoal lighter fluid was used to get the stove started. This type of stove uses the inverted downdraft gasifier principle.
The Red Dragon Heavy Duty Propane Torch is a very useful product that I've used to kill weeds and pest saplings in my fruit and nut tree orchards. It is capable of up to 500000 BTUs of energy and can empty a 40 lb tank of propane in minutes. It's an awesome tool. In this video, I am using it to incinerate a small bottle of water, and is the first time I have used it in about 5 years. What impressed me most about this test run was the elevation of the bricks to red hot temperatures. I don't believe I have ever seen bricks turn red hot before, and it took hours for them to cool to the point that I could handle them with bare hands! The video does not show it, but it was also interesting to see the water boiling inside the bottle and I believe that the water inside the bottle retarded the incineration process.
