I'm curious if anyone has ever modeled a Rocket Stove in a computer simulation. I'd also like to know if anyone has ever added cooling fins to the heat exchange barrel in order to keep the barrel cooler, possibly increasing the air speed inside the system. The same goes for a blower motor at the exhaust end to pull the air faster. Just curious if such testing has ever been done with these systems.

I've been kicking around an idea similar to this for a while as well.  I even made a subreddit,  www.reddit.com/r/township.  It's kinda sparce now, but I'm still fleshing out ideas etc.

The important realization with any system like this is that while Paul can play "King" all day,  He will have to work with people to get anything accomplished.  His authority only exists if we give it to him and the option to walk away at any time will hopefully keep him, or any other "ruler" in check.  My biggest concern would be if a waiting list for access developed.  Spend anytime in a bar or club with a line out the door and you'll find terrible people who don't value you as you're easily replaceable.

Any reason why that method wouldn't work with laminate flooring in the more spill prone areas?

I have seen alot of threads about different ways to build walls and roofs, but nothing really gets mentioned about floors.  What techniques have you guys seen that keep it simple and cheap?  Earthen floors seem the easiest option,  but how do you clean them?  What kind of insulation should be used if the floor isn't made of the ground?

Nah, the one I'm talking about is a brown leather with a medium bill all the way around.

Been watching some videos of his and was curious if the hat he was wearing has a specific name or style.

How long the things remain rust free ?

The silica gel is replaced yearly,  and the firearms have been rust free for quite a while now.  The gun safe is fairly small though. Maybe 50 to 75 gallons in capacity.  It would require some scaling up to be viable in a house,  but might be worth looking into as an unpowered way to dehumidify your indoors.

We use silica gel in our gun safe to keep things dry and rust free. We swap it out once a year as a precaution even though it's no where near saturated.  I was thinking I'd out scaled it up you might be able to avoid mold issues during the winter months.  It can be refreshed by heating it to 250 degrees for an hour or so and is also very cheap to purchase in bulk.

Has anybody tried this?  My thought is that every layer or two you soak down.  It then cures an makes perfectly shaped concrete bricks that are custom fit against each other.
