Is seems natural to me to accompany wood-based heating system with small (<1kW) electric generator. The following conversion looks pretty good, but the construction is still unknown. Can anyone share the detailed construction of such type of conversion? The benefits are: simplicity and reliability due to no valves.

I'm encouraged by videos made by 'neoklassika' youtube user. It seems stupid for everybody to reinvent the same construction. The world works better if we build something new on top of the other's result. Is there plans for straw panel press?

Here some man recommends to sprinkle the curing bricks three times a day.
What if instead of sprinkling to boil the water in a big boiler on a slow fire placed under the water-isolating cover along with the bricks?

What is the effective pressure applied by the press to the soil? How heavy the press is?
What is the average productivity of the press in bricks per hour operated by 1 person? 2 persons?
What about interlocking bricks like this one?
How difficult it is to implement?

What technics and tools and type of wood do you use to produce a coal of predictable quality?

Hi there! Is there somewhere blueprints for electric mulcher? I was fascinated by this one. Considering to DIY.
Commercially made mulchers located in local shops seems to me fragile and non-robust (or even charged into planned obsolescence).

There is an effort to make a DIY blueprints for NiFe. Is there any experience in such field?
Maybe someone knows success stories or caveats?

Great! I didn't know about this intention. But it seems much more complicated and difficult to build and use than small stand-alone gas-powered press. It suitable for medium to big farm than to private housekeeping.
So the open source automatic mini baler still needed (independently of whether or no personally me will build manual one).

I would prefer to cooperate with a hundred of DIY builders from the world and spent together $70*100=$7000 to pay to semi-skilled engineer (besides, $7k is a big enough salary for such reletively simple job for Eastern Europe and Asian employees) for developing of open source plans and thus solve this task for many people for many years further, than to support mentioned above closed source team. That's what I mean when I mentioned the price.
But before undertaking this kind of social-funding I'm trying to know what already has been done, to avoid reinventing of the wheel.
