                                          <p class="MsoNormal">In my
                                            previous email I concluded
                                            by saying:<br>
                                            <i>What's needed above all
                                              else, in my opinion, are
                                              small, beautiful TLUD's
                                              that make use of pellets.
                                              Such units could be
                                              situated in modern
                                              kitchens throughout the
                                              world. Once these units
                                              are in place, the rest
                                              will follow.</i><o:p></o:p></p>

                                              It seems that Home Depot,
                                              Wal-mart, Lowes, Ace,
                                              Agway and many others
                                              large retailers in the USA
                                              all carry wood pellets.
                                              Why can we not make TLUDs
                                              that make use of these
                                              pellets as fuel? The only
                                              thing that changes is the
                                              height of the reactor:
                                              it's much less than the
                                              height of a reactor that
                                              uses undensified biomass.
                                              This means that the TLUD
                                              is small, lightweight,
                                              mobile and much cheaper.<br>
