can you test calorific value? If not I will try to get the power station in UB

– what washes out? It is probably not a matter of fuel conservation as much as
making a workable device. It would be nice to use as little fuel as possible
(fertilizer) but far more important to use wasted fuel for a useful
purpose.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>dung cakes are regularly used as fuel even in
India. In areas where the rainfall is scanty, and there are no trees,
dung is used as the main cooking fuel. In the high Himalaya, above
the tree line, yak dung is the only fuel available to the locals. The ash
content of dung is normally very high. In the case of animals eating mainly
grass, the ash would consist mainly of silica. I have heard of a of
filter press, which can remove the water from the dung along with
the dissolved minerals. This would leave a product with a higher
calorific value. It can be briquetted and sold as a standard
fuel.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
