Hello Kjell,

Alright! Very cool. Thank you for the
fantastic feedback Kjell.
Brian, sorry for chipping
(!) in late but your romantic views calls for a comment.
Turn the trees into pellets?
This is a nice idea but give me more info to work with please.
I can take the bait if you like.
Wow, do

You should consider turning the trees into pellets. There is a lot of
info on this from Danish and Swedish websites. Let someone else mess
with boilers etc.

Hi Brian,
Why not use the cellulose and convert it to methane
using anerobic fermentation. The residue is fertilizer
and the products are CO2 and methane gas. One glucose
molecule gives you 3 parts methane and 3
parts(molecules) CO2. Burn the methane directly in the
generator. Sepa
Hello Chris
Thanks for the response.
Sorry about the confusion. We call it a ranch but it can be considered
a tree farm or a cattle ranch. We have 50 acres of irrigated pasture,
50 acres non irrigated pasture, 100 acres of Ponderosa Pine forest and
40 acres of Piñon and Cedar Trees. Our family

Great feedback Robert, thanks
You're welcome. I wish I could contribute to the practical, "hands

Yes this is one of the first sites I found the other day. I can't recall

i wondered about the layout and terrain of your property while writing the

certain idea. :)

Hi
Chris
Thanks for the letter.
brian, i would seriously encourage you to look into a solar rather than wood
power to run your boiler. i don't know the capabilities or limitations of
solar boilers, but i know they're out there and your location, well, isn't that

Thank you Manick
You have another option with steam. It will
break down on its
own hemicelluloses under pressure. And if a catalyst is present
celluloses also, in yields depending on amounts present. I think you
could use acids or alkalis as catalysts. You could use undigested
lignin as boiler
Great feedback Robert, thanks
I think I have a better grasp of your aptitude
at this point. Even if you ARE comfortable with boilers, I suggest you
join a "Live Steam" group and spend some time with people, like you,
who understand machines.
You are right to caution people on the hazards of

I'm new to the list and might reply to the
group if I knew how. It sounds like your Pop is a good guy to know,
especially since mine never got past eighth grade, but in some ways he was
pretty smart too. One of the things he recommended was to get off
Okally Dokally.
Thank you for your concern.
Twenty years ago part of my job at the local movie theatre was keeping
all the
machines in operation. This
included maintaining an old natural gas
boiler down in the dark nasty basement. This old dinosaur had been

Don't mess with steam unless you really know what you're doing. Hook
