This scientific research project “Tharn Din - Alternative Energy Source of the Future” is directed toward producing a new type of soil charcoal. Tharn Din, with excellent combustibility. The experiments were divided into six steps. First, we selected soils of exceptional adhesion property Next, we looked into many different combustible materials for soil admixtures. Many different formulas of soils and admixtures were tested. The most promising formulas were then optimized for maximum combustibility. After which, the best formula was chosen and we further optimized its combustibility. Combustion and ignition rate and characteristics of this formula were investigated. And lastly the effect of surface area on combustible rate was examined. It was found that mud was the best adhesive and wood chip was the best admixture. Tharn Din made of one part of mud and 3 parts of wood chips released higher thermal energy than normal charcoals. We found that a special type of Thai soil, Din See-eaw, when mixed with wood chips created Tharn Din of exceptional combustibi1it Ignition and combustible rates are proportional to the surface area of Tharn Din.
