Universal Nut Sheller
This machine was invented by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jock_Brandis Jock Brandis] to shell peanuts at the request of a women's coop in Mali, later he would co-found an non-profit international development organization called the [http://www.fullbellyproject.org/index.asp Full Belly Project] that works on open source appropriate technology (OSAT) for developing countries. There are around 1/2 billion people in the world that rely on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut peanuts ] as a primary source of protein. Most people can only hand shell 2 lbs (1 kg) of peanuts an hour, but this machine can do 110lbs (50 kg) an hour. In addition the machine is actually capable of shelling a variety of nuts, including wing beans, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_nuts pine nuts], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neem neem ] nuts, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shea shea ] nuts (for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shea_butter shea butter]) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecans pecans]. The machine uses two sets of fibreglass molds ($300), some common metal parts, some cement and sand .The cost (not including shipping) of one set of molds and enough parts to make 5 machines is $600. The molds and metal parts can be ordered from the Full Belly Project, but if someone can replicate them feel free. We only ask that when distributing our devices that your provide us with feedback and credit our organization for the invention of the machine.
