Dimension to build and calculate a Metal Rocket Stove

Known Dimensions:
Please fill in yellow boxes with known dimensions: Pot Diameter, Pot Height and t1 (thickness of the skirt)
All other dimensions will be calculated by the program!
Height of combustion chamber, Gap A, Gap B, (see diagram below) the radius, volume etc.

D= 28 cm Diameter X= 11 cm Combustion Chumber Height

H= 14 cm Height Gap A = 2.75 cm Top of Chimney to Pot

Pot
Diameter 28 cm Determine Pot Volume and Circumference
Radius 14 cm Volume = (r2 *3.14)*H
Height 14 cm

 1.) Cut a 110 mm square from the inside of 110 mm
the Top plate of 300.8 mm square

2. Calculation of the Saucepan support

Height of the sausepan support = Gap A

Sausepen support 27.5 mm by 20 mm

27.5mm

Place the sausepan support as shown in the drawing !!

4.) Turn the Skirt round and make sure

that the skirt is perfectly rounded

5.) Mark a line of 1.4 cm

from the bottom on the inside of the skirt

Height of the insulation

= Gap A
- Gap B 1.4 cm

14 mm

Fill the slope from the combustion chamber up to 14 mm with a insulation material
a mixture of 1 part Height Temp cement and 1 part of sawdust

Insulation material:
1. Option: => Cement / Vermicutate => Ratio 1:4

2. Option: => Take 2 parts of fine grog (< 2mm) and 1 part fine clay and fire it
=> take 5 parts of Height temperature port and 1 part of cement this is called HTM 6
=> take 1 part of HTM 6 and mix it with 1 part of sawdust

Take 8 pieces of 8 mm round bar

and cut 8 sections 50 mm long
and weld them around the inside
