Rocket Mass Heaters 4-DVD Set from Paul Wheaton
Over the years I have done lots of stuff with my buddy Paul Wheaton. He has been a huge supporter of TSP and is constantly doing innovative things to push permaculture further.
His latest project is a kickstarter for a new set of Rocket Mass Heater DVDs. I have seen his previous rocket mass heater DVDs, and let me tell you, these new ones look like a huge improvement. Much more information, better video quality, and the rewards for the kickstarter are pretty damn cool.
The four videos will be:
- DVD 1: Cob Style – A cob style rocket mass heater is “the old reliable”. It is the most popular style of rocket mass heater and this video will show one being built in a log home, and one being built in a tipi.
- DVD 2: Pebble Style – A pebble style rocket mass heater is the variant that Paul has done tons and tons of experiments with. The video will cover building three different kinds of pebble style rocket mass heaters.
- DVD 3: Shippable Core – Over the past few years, Paul has released a variety of information on how to make your own shippable cores, and now, in this video, he supplies the “how to” video for a variety of those techniques.
- DVD 4: Innovator’s Event – A few months ago, Paul hosted a rocket mass heater innovators event out at his land. This video will cover all of the quite revolutionary things they built there.
If you are new to rocket mass heaters, they may be THE cleanest, cheapest way to heat your home so getting this information out to world is pretty huge.
I’m in. We need to support Paul’s work for sure.
Backed it!
Oh my gosh. I love this. I backed it. I hope it gets funded!!!
The events these videos were shot at were one of the most innovative events ever done for Rocket Mass Heaters. I’ve seen many images, even the design plans on Paul’s RichSoil.com site and heard the podcasts about these events. They are amazing. I have quite a bit of experience experimenting with various RMH designs and I still learned a lot from just the pics and podcast. Can’t wait to get the DVD set…I’ve already kicked in on this one!
What are the safety precautions with each style rocket mass heater?
What is the average refuel time?
I’m in. I’ve seen much of the previous work and learned a lot from it. Looking forward to the updated material.
