Interesting concept but could use some tweaking to make it safer. Also the title says "without electricity", but he has a pc fan as a blower.

They could probably use one of those neat heat driven fans to blow air. Also they could put a radiator on the back of the device for heating water.

You can spiral a copper tube inside the chimney then circulate with a pump to heat a cement floor or large water tank to work as a radiator... or to take a shower or whatever. Internally it will get hot enough to melt solder though so no sweat-on fittings.

Gotta use some of the heat to make the moonshine too ;-)

Well... this is kinda the reverse process since the copper is used for heating not cooling but yeah... you got the right idea.

Maybe there's a way to combine both concepts https://youtu.be/B9BQGamXLMk?t=87

The spinning copper tube around the heat source, in order to heat water...

The only "weak point" of the rocket stove above is that it's an outdoor utility, sometimes going outside for anything is just not an option

There isn't enough heat capacity in this rig to raise the temperature in a two room space by any significant number of degrees. If this was capable of producing enough heat to raise the temperature of even one room to a comfortable level, then we would have had these types of heaters being sold long ago before the (((modern times))). It just doesn't work the way many people would like it to work. Sorry, but that's just the scientific truth here.
