HI John, Having a business only 40 miles from Lansing, MI (General Motors is(now was) a large employer in that city) I tried to buy a heavy duty american made...
DJ, I had forgotten about reading your post. A couple of days back I ran into the Reed/Das drawing of the lobes and wondered about their not overlapping and...
Ron, I have a 2000 GMC 3500 18ft box truck which is a retired Penske moving van. I get 17mpg on the highway with 2500lbs in the back. A/C still works fine at...
I remember my stepdad removing the top from a "can" of oil, thinning it a bit with some gasoline and lighting it to place under the oil pan for a few minutes...
BAM! Now integrate a solar collection box and some computer fans for driing and you've got an all in one. Yes slash piles are all over the place here in...
... If anyone has any experience of the bolts working loose and changing the interior dimensions during normal use then I might rethink that part. John, Sorry...
Jim, Interesting idea! It looks like you could easily fit 2 blades 180deg apart, possibly even 3 blades 120deg apart, to better utilize the full revolution of...
the idea is to only use one blade, and a long curved one at that. somewhat like the long curved edge of a turning cylinder of wayne's and jusso's design, this...
Jim, I have observed machines that use hydraulics to sever huge trees of any kind. I don't recall what Ed Burton was using to process his brush. I can...
Jim, Nice! Would you run your AC motor with a large inverter off of the vehicle battery? We ARE talking brush piles in the boonies here, right? Might be ...
I just put some photos in at, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WoodGas/photos/recent/1434231003/view This can be run with a small generator or inverter for short...

Jim and Mike, I agree to some extent... The tin in the top of that drum won't hold it together due to the force on what ever is opposite that blade. The basic...
No dumster diving, I had some old saws laying around from days gone by and some wire from a job we did. The screws are drywall screws, they wont rust as fast...
S1R, Boy does that look familiar. I keep an old Black and Decker 9 amp circular saw in my truck with a plastic carbide blade. My pure sine wave inverter is...
DJ, Clear as a bell. Any threaded parts used within severe environment should be coated with nuclear-grade nickel based anti-sieze compound. This allows the...

here's the info on ed burton's spiral shear. he's running it on a 1.5hp 120vac motor, so it doesn't look like i'm completely out in the woods on this. ...
Jim, That's 1.25" diameter green wood. This size stuff is cake. 2" thick dry stuff would likely kill it depending on the wood. Our wood density is different...
NyLock/Locking nuts aren't for engine temps, much less fire. They secure through friction of an under-sized hole in a Nylon insert... Not only will they lose...
Jim, Stupid question...but why not just feed the GEK long wood sticks? Have you tried it? I got it to work decently in two attempts. With some real effort...
