Richard,
How does the water get out when the pressure is applied? If there are
to be holes in the sides of the outer tube, then de-watering occurs
before going through the small tubes.
Anyone trying this, please post your results ASAP.

Quoting Richard Stanley <[email protected]>:
For all you pellet, sausage-size-biomass fuel-needing stovers, we
are playing with an adaptor for the conventional batch-fed cylinder
press to allow one to make multiple quantities of anything from
sausage sizes down to pellets.
The idea is being co-vented as we speak and its very much
'open-source', so please , feel free to dive in with design
thoughts, all.
Although in this sketch, I suggest using metal pipes welded
together, there is in retrospect, little reason it could not be made
out of just a cylindrical block of wood.
In this design you would not be pushing the piston completely
through the cylinder (as you do with many of the conventional
briquette.presses) The material would just be coming out the tubes
and breaking off (or, it could be cut off) at a certain length.
Please be first on the block to try it out. If it can work for
you, it will help many with their many different types of
briquette presses, in the network.
Basi Haya, na aluta Continua,
Richard
