Lopi Cape Cod named Finalist for the international competition of Stove builders
Judges announced today that the Lopi Cape Cod has been selected as a finalist
in the Wood Stove Design Challenge, the first international competition
to build an affordable, cleaner-burning wood stove for residential heating.
The finalists' stoves will be tested and judged on the National Mall in
Washington, D.C., in November 2013. The winner will receive $25,000 cash.
The Wood Stove Design Challenge was launched by the Alliance for Green Heat,
an independent non-profit, to bring more innovation to a popular, widely used
renewable energy device. In selecting finalists, judges looked for designs that
could produce ultra-low emissions, high efficiency, in addition to innovation,
affordability, and marketability.
"The competition brings together innovators - whether established manufacturers
or backyard inventors - to improve America's most widespread residential
renewable energy device, the wood stove. We've seen how technologies like
oxygen sensors and catalysts have made today's automobiles far less polluting.
We're excited to help encourage a similar technological revolution in wood
stoves," said Jim Meigs, judge and Editor-in-Chief of Popular Mechanics.
The Cape Cod wood stove features breakthrough Hybrid-Fyre technology to produce
an incredibly clean burn (.45 grams/hour) with over 80% efficiency and virtually
no carbon monoxide. The Lopi Cape Cod is built by Travis Industries, America's
premier hearth manufacturer based in Mukilteo, WA.
