   1.   Like Paul, I am impressed by your results.   But I am afraid I am
not yet understanding the geometry.  I think I will better understand if you
could expand on the sentence on page 3 of your second section called
"simplerhsguide" - where you say: "The outer drum is .....attached 1 1/8
inches inside the outer bin to provide effective rice hull flow to the fuel
bed. "
    Could you provide another sketch showing this 1 1/8" dimension?

    2.  Do you have any measurements on any of the effluent gases? (CO2, CO,
O2 %, etc)

    3.  Any measurements on efficiency?

    4.  Another sentence that I haven't understood was in the section on
operation:  "If tapping to introduce new fuel does not immediately restart
the fire, the opening between the rice hull outer fuel bin and inner cone
can be reopened."   These seem to be the same diameter (7") - so perhaps
they are arranged vertically by some distance (perhaps like the 1 1/8"
mentioned above?)  Could you expand on how the reopening is accomplished
during operation?

    5.  It was nice to see that you have been supported by NREL - where I
used to work.  Can you give more information on the persons there with whom
you have been working - and on reports you have supplied to them?

   6.  Again - a very nice initial report to "stoves" - on what is clearly a
very novel and interesting design. Congratulations!!

Ron
