Lamps for Jatropha Oil

Traditionally in West Africa the Jatropha seeds were stuck on a thin stick or wire and than lit. So the seeds burned one after the other like a torch. Castor seeds are also used in this way.

	First version of a very simple oil lamp from Binga Trees Project, Zimbabwe
	This is a test modification of an ordinary petrol lamp to be run with Jatropha oil. The tests were carried out by Erwin Protzen: On the Development of a Prototype Jatropha-Oil fueled Jiko and a Jatropha-Oil fueled Lamp
