Beer Can Stove (old)

That is very cool... do you just burn wood and paper and anything else available?

This synth is disorienting to navigate, it feels like I am dangling upside down from a rope trying to focus on the ground, continuously changing perspective.

it's actually designed to use solid fuel tablets (esbit). i don't think you could use anything else effectively although i tried to make an alcohol burner using a tea light holder.

as for the navigation, something is definitely wrong. it could have gotten confused by the logos on the can but more likely it's because i was taking photos from directly overhead. the algorithms that determine which way is up can get confused when you're pointing the camera close to straight up or straight down. i bet if i resynth without the straight down images it'll come out better.

I want to see fire even if it doesn't synth well.

I know, I need to resynth anyway so maybe I'll get that in there. In the meantime you can see this very stove in use on the Olympic Coast here: http://flickr.com/photos/kreppart/2512693283/
