A better soda can stove

 While I was experimenting with early prototypes, it became evident that I wanted a pressure stove. Pressure stoves are more fuel efficient and they have fewer internal parts. I wanted something easy to build but most of all, I wanted a method that would yield consistent stoves. After learning the hard way, I decided that safety was to take precedence over those two requirements. Building a Hannah Stove will take you only one hour. Lets get started with the requirements.

At bare minimum, you will need

    * 3 soda cans;
    * 1 wood block;
    * 2 wood screws;
    * 1 box cutter (just the blade actually);
    * 1 3mm drill bit (anything from 2mm to 5mm will do);
    * 1 electric drill;
    * 1 X-acto style knife;
    * 2 sewing needle.

This is all what you need to get a functional stove.
