Engineering Projects - Meth Stove (Penny Stove)

"One of the lightest and cheapest stoves you could ever get"

This stove is based around Mark Jurey's Penny Stove design. It uses two soft drink cans and a 5c piece (for Australia) to put together a stove weighing only a few grams that will boil water in a couple of minutes. Stoves I build typically have a non-uniform jet pattern (I tend to cook with kidney cups). Soon I hope to post instructional videos, both on how to make the stoves and how to use them
