From what I can see I am allowed to post about our technology as it can provide value to individuals in this thread.

I work for BioMass Energy Techniques Inc. We manufacture systems that use waste as fuel to produce thermal energy.

Key points about BET systems:

- 100+ commissioned and operational systems in North America
- 14 sizes ( 225,000 BTU  - 22 Million BTU)
-  1300 *C  internal temp
- No internal moving parts
- Can be non - electric
- DOES NOT REQUIRE DRY FUEL. Our systems prefer 65% moisture content in the feed stock.

Most of our systems use green wood waste as fuel (chips, sawdust, hogged, green bark).
We have personally tested rail road ties, hemp, hemp mats, rig mats, C&D waste, cardboard, MSW,  Drilling Gel, Drill Cuttings, Used Oil, and Invert

Please message me if you would like more information.

Blessings.

So what do people do with the thermal energy that is produced?  Is this primarily for light to heavy industry or are there applications for homestead scale folks?  Coupling it up to a sterling engine or TEG system could be nifty.

So most of our smaller systems are used to heat houses, shops, barns etc.
Our smallest system will heat a house and shop easily.

From direct heat systems, to outputs of steam, pressurized hot water, non-pressurized heat transferring fluid, non-pressurized hot water, to exhaust gases, the array of potential outputs allows your BET System near seamless integration with your existing energy infrastructure.

TEG's or Striling engines would be great for low power outputs!

I think the Sunpulse +-  stilring will be the best option when it becomes available through open source later this year.

We have been looking into ORC manufacturers for our larger systems as they don't require a certified boiler operator like steam and can generate more electricity.

We have a number of systems that heat greenhouses for the Amish that don't require any electricity. They are usually operated by their children (8-10yrs)

 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
