Best Answer

The rocket stove was invented by Dr. Larry Winiarski in 1982. This stove is typically fueled by small diameter pieces of wood or similar materials.

Though it is not widely known in much of the developed world, the rocket stove is becoming important in many places, as it reduces the amount of fuel needed for cooking by half, and produces very little smoke, compared to open fires. Also, the design is so simple that stoves of this type can be manufactured at almost no cost. The ecological and economic implications are potentially very important.

If the name Rocket Lorena stove derives from the operation principle of this stove how is it that the operation of the stove compares to that of a rocket?

The Rocket Lorena stove derives its name from the addition of elements of the Rocket Stove into the Lorena Stove. Lorena is from a combination of the Spanish words for 'clay' and 'sand', which are mixed to make the mortar used in its construction. I am guessing here that the Rocket Stove may have gotten its name from its use of an L-shaped combustion chamber called the "rocket elbow," which rockets the combustion upwards. It thereby allows full combustion of the fuel at the front of the stove while localizing the burn to just the ends of the sticks inside the combustion chamber, which is at the crook of the elbow, thereby conserving wood. The Rocket Lorena has added this "rocket-elbow" combustion chamber to the Lorena stove. It has also added better insulation materials, such as pumice, clay-sawdust or clay-husk mortar, or whatever else is locally available, around the firebox and the rest of the heat passageway. Additional thought: Regarding why the Rocket Stove is called a rocket, it might also be because the rocket stove looks somewhat like a rocket. Or else because the stove's combustion chamber bears some analogy with the combustion chamber found in liquid-fueled rockets. Though the Wikipedia listing for rocket stove does not answer this mystery, it does give links to sources that may be able to do so, such as the Aprovecho Research Center. Apparently, the 'rocket' half of the name of this energy efficient stove is derived also from the swooshing sound the stove makes as the heat trys to escape from the top of stove.
