Zusammenfassung:The objective of this task is to investigate the feasibility of utilizing wood, charcoal, coal, or other locally available fuels found in worldwide areas as a heat source for a thermoelectric generator or small engine-driven generator capable of producing 150 watts of electric power. A small steam boiler sized for a 150-watt power source was evaluated with charcoal, wood, and cow dung as fuel. Satisfactory combustion and boiler efficiency were obtained with heat absorption rates from 2 to 8 kw th. Start-up periods were 5 to 10 minutes, depending upon technique and fuel. A second boiler, of minimum size and weight, was designed. (Author)
