    Wow, came across this video via reddit and you guys totally rock! I thought I knew everything about biomass heating methods and had never heard of this one. This is something I’d like to try in the future!

    They are probably working on it now… but if our societal system breaks down, this is one of the technologies that can be replicated easily by any competent mechanic. Plus it’s fun to work on and has been a rallying point for our cadre of alternative thinkers.

    You are most welcome.

    We use a 12 volt automotive heater fan. It’s kind of wimpy though, and we’re looking for something about twice as powerful.

    I have a question how long will be until the oil, gas, and elecity companies, use the government to put a stop to these systems, as they get no alot of money from these companies as revenue but shit loads. I even know how they will do it. Government safety regulation inspections, then comes registration fees, then out right tax. liittbug206 is right. It will go the way of the electric car.

  13. DennisBBrown says:

  15. rustyman351 says:

    I think the old man was going to add the yippy dog to the burn barrel until he saw the camera.

    I know you guys are from Wisconsin, but you sure sound Canadian. Good work on the unit – your voiceover also cleared up some things I didn’t understand from the FEMA plans.

  21. fray1234jkl84032 says:

    this will actually run a gas engine! no more $ 4 per gallon!

    As for the Politics, really, who gives a hoot what Party Thomas Edison belonged to?
    Skip the song-and-dance routine, as Archie Bunker said…

  23. EdgarInventor says:

    Great idea, and a money-saver!
    Who can argue with those?
    Thanks!

  24. sspence65 says:

    The partisan politics comments were completely unnecessary to the goal of the video, and really detracted from the message. A real shame!

  25. erichertsens says:
