Open Source Ecology / Hydronic Stove

We are collaborating on the open source hydronic stove, getting the full design into FreeCAD. Here we discuss the sociology of open source execution. http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/Open_Source_Hydronic_Stove

What you see here at Open Source Ecology is an ambitious program based on a volunteer effort. To help us reach the goals - please consider joining as an OSE Developer in 2017-

Open Source Ecology (https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski) and Open Building Institute (http://openbuildinginstitute.org) present the world's first complete open source hydronic stove and control panel design. Bill of Materials cost for this control panel is $595, and materials cost for the stove itself was about $600. Stove is 200,000 BTU with 16 square feet of heat exchanger area. The lowest cost off-the-shelf versions that we found were $2k for the control panel; and $5k for a hydronic stove rated for 100,000 BTU.
