A Summary of Recent Research on Rocket Mass Heaters (and Bell Design)

http://www.handprintpress.com/home-heating/rmh-research

I have just posted this article about recent research on rocket mass heaters to Hand Print Press with this same title. It is a synthesis that I have been wanting to write for some time since the experiences at the MHA gatherings have been so rich. I’ve wanted to make sure that others could benefit from the research and discoveries that we have been making there.

Here is the Article’s Table of Contents to give you a sense of it:

• The Difference between Rocket Stoves and Rocket Mass Heaters
• The Book on Rocket Mass Heaters
• The MHA Experience
• Construction Processes with Commentary
• Rocket Mass Heater Build at WildAcres 2009
• Masonry Rocket Mass Heater at WildAcres 2010
• Impromptu Rocket Mass Heater at WildAcres2011
• Conclusion
