Dear Tom

Would you have an URL for your Grandson's Site, or a URL for a Video to see it operating?

Thanks!

Kevin

  So far my adopted grandson, Shivayam Ellis,  has been making my BrushSaw attachment, and he is my co inventor on the patent.  He has a website, ONECUT?, or similar.  You two should meet, being very clever and congenial.


  I'll bring you one when I come to your Berkeley workshop...

    i agree this is a great idea.  it is likely a way to get good little chunkettes without lots of machinery.  slash is a very significant fuel resource in many places we've found.  in the tropical bush, it is likely the most important and accessible.

    the electric chainsaws have also come a long way.  if your gasifier is part of a genset making electricity, you could use that to run the chainsaw and be self contained without need for petrol.

    tom, there are many cnc laser cutting services that will cut out parts like this for you.  the laser makes a near perfectly clean cut, without any slag.  it is much easier and cleaner than the plasma cutter based systems.  

    sadly, a cnc laser system costs multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars.  a cnc plasma 15k or so.  maybe someday.  in the interim, there are many services cropping up that will do small runs for you on their machines.

        I have developed an attachment for chainsaws that will reduce a 5 foot tall pile of brush to a 1 foot pile of worth sticks in 15 minutes.  See it in action at



         Great idea! The website says that it's not shipping yet; would you please post a notice here when it is?

      Thanks,
