Presentation Transcript

  1. Lily: A Low Cost Alcohol Burner and Stove Paul S. Anderson, PhD psanders@ilstu.edu Lily Emma Anderson leander@ilstu.edu (A presentation at the ETHOS 2007 Conference, 26 – 28 January 2007, Kirkland, Washington)

  2. The “Lily Burner” • A steel “tin-can” variation of the aluminum “beverage-can” alcohol burner.

  3. Principles of non-pressurized alcohol burners • The burning flame causes the fuel canister to be warm for sufficient vaporization of the liquid alcohol. • The “top-to-bottom conduction” of heat is facilitated by aluminum, brass, and metal-to-metal contact of stove parts. • The steel “tincans” of the Lily burner are poor conductors of heat, so vertical aluminum posts are added inside the cans.

  4. Construction of a Lily Burner

  5. Stove Structures • Several designs of stove structures are compatible with the Lily burner.

  6. With tongs or holders, the user slides the needed number of burners under the application (shown is a griddle). The lower gap is important for ignition and intensity control.

  7. Lily burners with a larger diameter (6” or 15 cm) are being developed for increased duration or more heat from one loading of alcohol fuel.

  8. Advantages • Low cost, low tech, long-lasting construction • Clean-burning, well-controlled, safe combustion • Costs of renewable alcohol fuels are significantly decreasing
