@@rippleafrica1Then you can reuse the ash to make more bricks and mortar. Then once those are burnt through, the ashes can be collected and made into bricks made of a putty that truly won't come apart, even when wet. The chemistry behind it is that it's calcium hydroxide, absorbing carbon dioxide and becoming calcium bicarbonate. Once dry it turns into insoluble calcium carbonate.
This is great. I work in Mozambique and would love to do something like this for the feeding program at our preschools. We get through so much charcoal. Can you use this oven with charcoal or only wood?
Good question - The kitchens are very well ventilated and there is no chimney but because the cookstove burns more efficiently there is less smoke produced - hope that answers the question
There's very little smoke produced. The idea is that this uses biomass very efficiently--so efficiently that the existing ventilation is perfectly fine.
@@blackcitroenlove I was going to ask same question and biomass is new to me, I will ask, i want to build a pair of these in my future home in the south of Chile, it's fantastic, thanks a lot
Good job young men
Wow very nice
Is this just a normal mud ? The problem is how to produce the bricks
Soil with clay is good - we use mud from termite mounds

This is great!
That's nice ad great, can I build it on a cemented floor
Yes you can. The only difference is that you can't half bury the two bricks at the bottom of the fire holes
I have a question: everything like perfect, but how do the ripple stove SMOKE go outside of the kitchen?

@@rippleafrica1 thank u for ur reply! It helps!
@@rippleafrica1And the taller the stove, the bigger the draft-and the less smoke it emanates! Changu Changu Moto is basically a rocket stove!
Great
interesting.
I love it I what to introduce in my village in other part of África
Here is a copy of a step by step guide www.rippleafrica.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Changu-Changu-Moto-step-by-step-guide-Feb-2016.pdf good luck!
How do you channel the smoke away? Don't you need a chimney?
😂😂😂😂😂 oh my God you made me laugh. We don't need the chimney. We strong african women.

Have you guys ever heard of solar cooking? I suggest you look it up on the Internet.
usefull idia
it is slow and inefficient. Takes about 25 mins to cook an egg. It's more suitable for grilling, not for stir fry
