  1. Biocharcoal Agriculture must be new era of farming (the knowledge of the benefits regarding charcoal enhaced soil have being sleep for a long time now since the indian left in Amazonas)

  2. Hi, you were talking about the insulated chamber and how the outside could be touched but was still at 150f. Could you surround it with a water jacket and transfer some of the waste heat into preheated water before you heat the water in the existing heat exchangers?

  3. 1) Could this be sold to factory farms to absorb their biologic run off? To add the "biology" to the char.
    2) have you ever considered atolls to add biology to the char before selling? After initial step, it is mostly free, just converting air into plant.

  4. I was listening to a podcast recently and the panelist stated that ''biochar is a great home for microbes'' but went on to say that when analysis of the soil was made with a microscope,he found that most of the microbes had moved away from the plant and into the biochar and has gone on to state that ''biochar is detrimental to plant health''.
    Leighton Morrison is the guys name behind the experiments. (He's been working with soil for decades)

  5. if your system was 100% efficient, would it still be profitable figuring the energies it took to make and assemble the steel, facilities and control system? what then is payback period?

  6. Late to the party, but great stuff. Felt the need to comment on the snakeskin draped over the closed valve; hence, a skull and crossbones warning because the circuit is not yet in use.

  7. I have a chicken composting system that I was thinking about adding biochar to, but I could add it to their coop. Then when I clean the coop it will go into their compost and already be partially charged.

  8. The reason that viruses have become an issue and will continue increasingly to be an issue is the fact that the environment is becoming increasingly anaerobic because of many factors including excessive combustion. This is not the time for business as usual. Sorry to feel the need to mention it. Good luck to all of us.
