Using excess saw dust, alcohol and vegetable oil is a great way to create a reliable, slow burning, but easy to ignite dough that you can then compact into a fuel cell for a slow, but very hot burn.

As you will see in the video, this fuel cell is simple to make and costs virtually nothing.

The practical application of this project is a compact fuel cell that as you saw, burns slowly and for a long time, while getting hot enough to boil water.

Can you think of a way to improve on this fuel dough or on the fuel cell itself?

If so, leave a comment below.
