Exp II (2)

The result is acceptable, as you can see it can catch more ash than the model that is without a side wall.

Experiment part II

With this test, I added a little wall on the side of the 40mm. width model to make sure that it can catch more ash.

R & D

From the first experimention, I should make the incense burner that wide enough to collect the ash and its back support should high enough as well.

The first result

The first outcome. The inceses took about 30 mins to burnt

With the 40 mm. width, the ash are on the side, and there are some on the back.
Whereas, the 90 mm. width, it can collect almost the droped ash, but there are still some at the back.

Exp (3)

You can see the ash droped on to the ground.

Experiments (2)

I started to burn the incenses and record the burning time.

I tested it on the white paper so I can see and record where the ash will go.

Experiments

In this stage, I tested the model's function.

There are two models, 40 mm. width & 90 mm. width.


Actually, the amount of incense that chinese people will burn at the same time are 3, 6, or 9.
The fact that I burned 12 incenses at the same time is to test the amount of the ash that my model can catch and store.

The additional tasks

There are some other things that has to be included.

1. It must be attractive towards young people.
2. Invite and encourage the young people.
3. Different from the old style.
4. Respectful.

Again, please leave your recommendation here.

Tasks of Incense Burner

As I have discussed with Roger, I will identify the tasks of the incense burner in its religious context.

1. It must be easy to clean and empty the ash.
2. Catch and collect the ash.
3. Fire resistance.
4. Hold the incense stick firmly.

I am really greatful, If anyone can think of it and has any recommendation please do so.
