Dear Richard

 

I am surprised to see the working bits of the mini TMC have a spiral from
one side to the other for the reason that it creates a constant thrust in
one direction. Have you not tried putting a Vee-pattern rather like a
tractor tire, bringing everything constantly to the centre and away from the
edges?

 

That takes the load off the side walls and removes the axial thrust. It
looks like a pretty good unit. Is there a flywheel hidden in there
somewhere?

 

Thanks
Crispin

 

 

 

 

Our mini TMC (developed for use here in Central America)is less technically
sensitive, more manageable in the field with less skills and lighter at 25
kegs but it is not 

designed to handle coconut husks. 

 

would not.
