[Stoves] [Gasification] Mk2 Chip Guillotine

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Darius and Kevin and All (but not Andrew in the UK!)

This is an ideal application for low grade solar. A Canadian farmer John
Currelley, now in Haiti for many years, built a south-facing solar collector
on the metal storage silo (not a particularly big one) in which he kept his
maize harvest. This was simply a plastic covered gap mounted over the
black-painted corrugated metal silo that heated air rising inside the gap
and allowed it to enter the maize bin at the top and exit at the back.

He said it reduced the cost of frying by 40%. It was cheap, homemade and
effective. 

Of course it won't work if your climate tends to the grey, overcast and
gloomy wet misery of ....where was that?

Regards
Crispin
