Camping Stoves

I am currently in my final year of university studying product design. As part of my final year project i am looking at re designing the current camping stove, making it smaller, more lightweight and even the possibility of using bio fuel to source the heat. I have ideas i am currently looking at but thought of getting feedback via questionnaire. Any help you can offer will be much appreciated and the more questionnaires completed the better. i would also appreciate any feedback on this forum, maybe things you feel could be improved on camping stoves or things you currently feel make some better then others.

2 minutes of your time will be much appreciated

the link for the questionnaire is here.

I'd never have thought biofuel was an option for a camping stove owing to calorific value/weight/bulk ratio. Did you source a product which will perform satisfactorily in this respect? Maybe biodiesel would work.
 
There are already stoves out there using fuel made from sugar cane Greenheat Backpack Stove... IMHO you can't beat petrol, yes it's dangerous and noisy but it's also reliable, which anyone who's watched unvapourised butane dribbling out of a stove will appreciate...

I think you are wasting your time , it is like trying to re- invent the wheel IMO there are many great stoves out there.If I had any comment at all it would be ease of OR no cleaning.
 
I bought a Primus Eta power stove a couple of years ago. Cannot fault it - It's excellent. Very fuel efficient, thus very fast, a well thought out product. Good luck if you can improve on that.
