I had a little time to try something different last night. So, I pulled together a 5 gal. pale, two (different size) coffee cans and a 12VDC, .15A computer fan and took my first stab at a gassifier stove. I went with the "Inverted Downdraft" model. I was most interested in it because, in my

Does anyone have any ideas of how to spread compost at the rate of 5 tons
per acre? I mean other than with a shovel or bucket. I do have a tilt
trailer, but the compost does not just trickle out the back like I want it
to. Also, any easier ideas of how to spread lime at 1000 lbs
Mike,I share your excitement and it's really awesome that you got it working so quickly...JTF strikes again!Do you have any pictures you could share for the visual learners out here?

Local Mennonites use a machine for spreading composted manure. The
machine resembles a trough which has a shaft running horizontally above
it with spokes or paddles that rotate into the trough and fling the shit
skyward. They liquify the compost first obviously. Nice job eh? Don't

Michael Redler,
Inverted downdraft is a good way to make a simple cook stove.
If you are interested in powering an engine however, it would
pay to look at the downdraft Imbert and Statified Charge
gas generators. I built an Imbert type about 25 years ago
for my '68 Caddy. It worked, but not as

Somebody had the vapor pressure tables for water earlier in this thread,
maybe he could look up the pressure for 55 and 5 degrees C.

5 deg. C = 6.5mm Hg
55 deg. C = appr. 110 mm Hg

That is an interesting though, but it has been years since I have seen

their fields with great sprinklers that make the slurry look like

The sand spreader is very similar to a fertilizer spreader. I bet you
could modify a comercial one ie. open up the holes to make it work with
dry(ish) compost. I would go for the type that has a rotating bar

The other day I threw out a question but it was an afterthought on

Hi Kim!
In Estonia farmers use such manure spreading machine like this old-one:
http://www.hot.ee/andre66/manure.jpg
It is also suitable for compost mixing and spreading. I think that, if
you have similar machines in your country you could use them.
Also alternatively, nowadays when
if you have any kind of tractor or small truck, you can purchase a
manure spreader from farm supplier or look for a small used unit.
Small dairy farms all have one and a lot of small dairy farms are closing.

Hi David,
The Handbook of Chemistry Physics, p. D-190, lists the following:
Vapor pressure of water in mm. Hg:
5 deg C = 6.543 mm Hg
55 deg C = 118.04 mm Hg
Hope this helps.

Look for a manure spreader like farmers use. Not
the liquid-manure type, but one designed for
semi-solid manure. They should be available in
various sizes, you may be able to find a used one at a
reasonable price.
