Just found an interesting video on an alternate design/can-type eCHS from Silvio De Leonardo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vscWNXrtoBg This stove has inwards pointing jets, like the original CHS...

For my CHS-u I used a very small quantity of JB Weld between the jet-deck and rib-collet. I didn't see any leaking from this junction of the hoop.

BB and OMO: I finally got some Nestle Milo cans at H Mart. Do you guys use those for the tub AND the collet, or just the collet? I seem to recall BB suggesting V8 can for the collet. Is that correct?...

Thanks for the tips. I am searching hi and low for Nestle Milo and will likely stop by H-Mart on my way to Dutch's open house Saturday.

Yeah, I actually just finished drinking one. The upper rim seems like it is a little bit smaller than I would like, but I could always give it a try.

Does anyone know if the SPOT tracking data has been posted anywhere? I would love to see the pacing...

Thanks! I'll check H-Mart.

Btw "squashing" the ribs and using Heet seems to have been a large improvement!

where in the world does one find Nestle Milo?! I'll keep my eyes peeled... might have to settle for V8, RedBull or similar...

OMO what cans do you use for eCHS?

Squeezebox,
I followed TETKoba's videos... the only problem is for the CHS-u the instructions are kinda split across 2-3 videos. First start out with his FAQ video for tools, techniques etc.
...

OMO, I tried to notch the tabs with scissors for my first stove... and used a triangle scale to make the ribs by hand. I like your rubber tube, finishing nail, and pliers jig idea. I'll have to give...

Sorry to distract you, and thanks for your time. I think I have gathered plenty of information to get me off the ground for an attempt at V2 of the stove. Thanks for all your help and input.

Also, if the CHS runs cool, do you think reflectix could be used as a bottom insulator? Or would that be a bad idea due to flammability?

OMO, thanks for all the amazing info! Looks like I'll acquire a grease pot in the near future! I was also looking into DIY heat x-er construction. Seems like it could be feasible with soldering...

How did you determine the linear output? I guess you could just try to sample the thermometer every second or two.... Ah yes, I have remembered the specific heat of water since 10th grade chemistry:...

just curious why you prefer Evernew. Looking at the specs online, evernew seems few grams heavier and more expensive for the same capacity than Toaks... I only have experience with stainless MSR...

OMO, thanks for the data. Do you have a thermo couple hooked up to lab-view or something? Or do you just take thermometer readings at fixed intervals? Also, do you know how much the XTS weighs...

Man, I keep misspelling words... I need to take a break from the internet today... (plane vs plain, then vs than etc.)

haha, well, I like your thinking about the heat exchanger to pre-heat the air provided to the stove with heat that would otherwise be wasted to the environment. You will certainly get an increase in...

BB, one more quick question: Is this the pot you use? If not do you have a link?...

BB: I was asking about Ti vs Al for usage as pots and wind-screens. I'll stick to my aluminum cans for stove construction. I'll pull some random numbers for alloys and see what thermal diffusivities...

BB I was looking for numbers for thermal diffusivity of Ti vs Al. And alloys. Do you know if there is much variation between pure and alloyed Ti and Al? I was able to dig up some data for various Ti...

Looks like my CHS! (Big yellow flames) it's also much heavier than mine.

That Greek or Italian guy (forgot his name etc.) who has a video about making TETKoba's CHS-u (but with outward facing jets) uses some kind of home made die/jig setup. He puts the can over a wooden...

No need to post... I think I saw it on the ****** thread... it looks like a real PITA to build, so I think I'll pass on the coke bottle one (although I just saw some of those bottles at a CVS around...
