Wotta hoot, down here they sell wood fired hot water heaters. About forty dollars. They have a small pipe going straight up open at the top. Pressure up the tank with say 8 psi water (gravity, no steenking pump) light a fire in the fire box wait until the water spouts out of the vent tube, then enjoy 6-1/2 gallons of hot water. Drift wood, palm fronds, Hustler, it all burns.
My dream (preposterous) is to rig up a hydro plant. Hilarious I set several units up in the Sierras, so I know everything from weir measurements, to penstock design and load diversion control and now that I could really benefit by it the cost is outrageously beyond my ability. Well I can -dream- the rig, the house and workshop is a comfy 22C with 40% R/H
