Hi Paul,   I repeated the process with the same fuel (corrugated cardboard) but, I was a little disappointed with the color of the flame this time.   Here are a couple of pictures:  http://www.harugari.org/db/temp_files/temp_mredler_Pyro-1.jpg   http://www.harugari.org/db/temp_files/temp

Garth:  Are you handy?  You could outfit your trailer with a pipe set on pillow block bearings, holes drilled in the pipe with all thread or bolts as tines, and a washing machine pully attached to the pipe and the tire which would provide turning power.  Have someone riding in the trailer to sh

Re: [Biofuel] Spreading compost

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. Joe --- Joe Street <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The sand spreader is very simil

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. Cheers, Bob (West Linn) - Original Message - From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, J

Re: [Biofuel] Spreading compost

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. Garth & Kim Travis wrote: >Greetings, >Does anyone have any ideas of how to spread c

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 machin

Hi All; The other day I threw out a question but it was an afterthought on another thread.  Nobody has answered so here I am trying again on a specific thread.  I am interested to know how many on the list do Jan Warnqvist's methanol test and how much precipitate do people get?  How much is ok

Re: [Biofuel] Spreading compost

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 (horizontal axis) at the bottom rather than the conical shape which has a rotating di

Greetings, I am aware of manure spreaders, but I am talking about finished compost. 5 tons per acre is not a heavy spread, although it can be hard on the wallet. I only make about a ton a year, so I have to buy the stuff. I will take another look at manure spreaders, but if anyone else has an

Re: [Biofuel] First Attempt at a Downdraft Gasifier Stove

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 no

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 wear your

[Biofuel] First Attempt at a Downdraft Gasifier Stove

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 mind,
