Its a piece of gas main with a helix press in it (like whats in a meat grinder). the hardest part to find would be the press itself, but everything else is just off the shelf nickel and dime stuff. i really cant see spending 100euros on it when i can build it for about 25. and stick a solar heated Stirling on it, and you could use a bigger hopper and catch-pan and go have a sandwich or something.
