    My definition of functional is more than "do it turn".

    The saw has a gear for a blade

    But hey, I bet you could sell thousands on ebay at $5 each.

    This was an exercise in "how small can you go"

    We've seen some really small alcohol stoves with side jets created in this forum. Can we name a few smaller than a V-8 can?

    This one is small but needs a pot support. needs a few drops of alchy on top to prime it. I think I can say it's "tiny"

    This small formed aluminum travel hairspray bottle is on my list once my wife finishes with it:

    cool little stove , clearly made of tealights. Im a proponent of the single open top small tealight with my small pots. Its simple, and im lazy.

    will it boil water?

    I found that drill on a bushcraft forum and a little searching found a video on one.

    The one in the middle has an integrated pot support. Made of small tea candle tins.

    The fiberglass wick in the middle of the other 2 helps prime the burners so they get hot and cause the jets to ignite.
