The MOTORIZED PALM NUT SHELL STOVE differs from the fire wood stove by virtue of having a combustion chamber which is heavily insulated with a ceramic liner and funned by a 1.5hp Centrifugal fan.
This is a stove that uses the old principle of fire place that blacksmith uses to forging metals. The stove has been design such that there is constant air flow by a motorized fan to the stove through air ducts and valves thus providing oxygen to the carbonized fuel ( carbonize palm kernel shell) that burns to provide smokeless flame for cooking. The fuel is also accessible and cheap compared to other cooking fuels.
Due to high temperature that emits from the palm kernel during burning, the distance between the bottom part of the cooking pot and the top of the burner is well calculated to curtail the cooking pot from breaking down.
The motor that powers the fun is 1.5hp that consume not much electricity. The motor is earth well to prevent electric shocks to the cooks. The stove is also very well insulated from the electric motor hence save to use.
Below is the electricity consumption of the motor;
1Hp = 746 Watts
1.5 Hp x 746 Watts = 1119 Watts or 1.119 Kilowatts.
For 1 hour continuous run: 1.119 KW-Hr
