The Cyber-Physical Loop

Physical stove manages combustion locally via PID control while streaming telemetry to the SKENAI network for continuous optimization.

Edge Node

ESP32-WROOM-32

Real-time combustion management with PID control loop. Reads thermocouples, lambda sensor, and acoustics. Actuates servo-driven air damper.

Physical Plant

Batch Box Masonry Core

Peter van den Berg optimized geometry. 120 firebricks in steel exoskeleton. 1200mm riser with ceramic insulation for secondary combustion.

Digital Twin

Three.js + WebGL

"Ghost Fire" visualization renders invisible thermodynamics in real-time. Particle systems respond to actual sensor data via WebSocket.

Hardware Intelligence

Every component engineered for optimal combustion physics and data acquisition.

Build Process

Step-by-step construction from raw materials to first ignition.

1

Weld Frame

Cut angle iron. Weld the cage. Do not weld the top shut yet.

2

Floor Layout

Lay ceramic fiber on floor. Place first course of bricks.

3

Dry Stack

Build core inside cage to verify fit. Ensure 20mm gap exists.

4

Mortar

Disassemble and reassemble using thin (3-4mm) mortar joints.

5

Install Hardware

Slide thermocouples into thermowells during the build.

6

Seal

Install baffle. Pack sides with insulation. Close top frame.

7

Cure

Allow 7 days drying time before first fire.

8

Ignition

Connect USB power. Verify WiFi. Light match.
