    Listening to this passively while working. There was mention secondary ingestion of biochar by livestock. This isn't a challenge, it is actually a good thing. My sheep loved eating biochar, it was a snack/supplement for them. I also imagine that when it "passed through" it was inoculated with bacteria making it even more effective as a fertilizer.

    Thanks a ton, great information. One clarification on under 250g drones - even though the weight is for recreation, if the intent is anything but 100% fun, you need a license. An example is you are at a game and the coach asks you to take a video for the team to watch after - you now need a license in the US / FAA. Unless you draw maps for pure enjoyment, I’d say you need a license for the uses proposed.

    We need to have a system where fuel such as would that is chipped or raw material is valued much like scrap metal. People could bring their raw material in for processing. I see a lot of people that are wasting a lot of material by burning it and then spraying water on it to do it quickly. That is really wasting resources. If we had factories that produce steam off of all the heat that is used to process biochar, then it would be more efficient and we could process these resources. People would bring in much like scrap metal is returned for cash. The steam could power electrical motors that would heat things like augers that are copper plated to heat the raw material and turn it into biochar. While the process happened, the gas could be collected to fire or ignite flame to heat a outer chamber made of copper. Copper conducts Heat and electricity very well and we could use a long auger system to process many tons of biochar a day by using copper. The auger could be lined with clay to keep the heat off of the bearings and other vital equipment. The outer wall of the auger could be played as well, the end of the auger shaft that is plated with copper good run into a water bath that would create steam to power the electrical motors. The electrical motors would have to be initially started by outsourced electricity, but eventually it would run perpetually. Copper expands when it’s heated, and this could seal the chamber. Some of the chamber would have to be vacuum sealed. The expansion of the copper could seal the tube and not allow oxygen to get in. After so long, the auger would cool and the copper wood retreat back to its natural form, perhaps after the water bath. I believe this would be the most effective way to process biochar, and the most efficient. It would take a long auger shaft to get it done. Jogger shaft could descend from an upper level from a hopper. It would take time to run test to see just how far the copper would expand, and how much copper plating would you need or copper sheeting. How thick the copper sheeting would have to be to work. It would be a way to recycle copper as well. Pretty much everything could be recycled I spoke about.

      Sofaking Do you have a diagram? I’ve not seen a setup like you described. I get your idea. But commercially that’d only work in a major metropolitan area perhaps which already frowns on burning or any pollution. Now in a rural area I could see your idea being used. You could generate electricity perhaps and then use it to power Bitcoin miners and then you could literally say your Bitcoin is green because it was generated by making charcoal. Haha. But rural areas would have an advantage for making charcoal if their area has logging. If you have logging and scraps it’s like okay. If the government or forest service gave you free wood or the wood for free that’d be great. But I doubt it. You need to buy a permit to cut down dead pine forests. If you legitimately want to run the charcoal thing as a business you can’t count or hope people will bring free stuff to you. That only works if the government uses its police force to ensure you get stuff from your neighbor hahaha. LA doing city wide recycling makes sense cause of tbr population numbers. Does your setup allow for burning only wood or cow manure or anything carbon?

      @@koltoncrane3099 I was just brainstorming and thought of an idea. I do a little bit of engineering work kinda as a side project. Nothing professional in the recent years but I did help quite a few farming companies to make some machinery more efficient back in the late 80s early 90s. as far as material to make into biochar, the world is wide, open and pretty much anything can be turned into biochar. Perhaps mining landfills would become a popular industry for materials. Perhaps even saving waste after combining corned and bean fields, etc. etc. I don’t have a working model however, I did see someone using a auger to process some small batches of biochar. His model burn up the bearings and would have overheated the gas motor used to turn the auger. I was just building on someone else’s idea. That’s kind of what it’s gonna have to take to process biochar in the future. Brainstorming and building off other peoples ideas. I have to give the whole auger idea to someone else. I just thought of better ways to improve it.

    The "Wild West" meets "A Space Oddessy" ~ On the one hand, the goal is to create a large-scale industry, sufficient to 'mitigate climate change', incentivized with 'carbon credits' that can intimidate, dominate, and control an industry that discourages small local operations as 'unregulated' and ineffective... On the other hand, operating with limited input quantification, incalculable variables, underlying urgency, and too costly and inefficient to scale up.

      They are going after the big carbon market, which works through administrative organism that work for certification to emit and sell carbon credits.

  • @FredLinden
    @FredLinden 8 місяців тому

    Thank you for the video. Even though its context is a bit different than our circumstances -- less than a hectare of fruit orchard and other trees in Northeast Thailand -- I got a lot out of it, some of which should be applicable to the farm/forest/garden my wife & I have. We've been adding biochar/charcoal in the roughest of ways since we bought our property four and a half years ago. At first I just bought regular but expensive charcoal, which is sold everywhere in the countryside here; this had to be crushed, which was a challenge, and the quantities ended up being small. We also tried making our own charcoal, but it just added a lot more work and wasn't reliable. But now I just buy 20-40 sacks of residues at a time from local subsistence farmers who sell charcoal for kitchen fires. The smaller chunks and finer powder isn't usable for fires, so they're almost (almost) glad to get rid of it, and I pay THB 20 (USD 0.55) per sack of 12-17kg, with the weight depending mostly on the moisture level and non-pyrolized content. I have a tuktuk (like a motorcycle with two wheels in the back and a cargo bed) that's all-electric and equipped with a solar panel on top, so transport is carbon neutral. We've put, by my best but still ridiculously rough estimates of carbon content and weight, close to two metric tons of carbon into the ground so far. It's been a lot of hauling, wheelbarrowing and digging, all by hand, all in hot weather. One has to love this kind of work to do it. I do mix the charcoal with all kinds of stuff: rotting wood, green weeds, twigs, molasses, manure, urine, mycorrhizae and more, sometimes at the same time as a bury it. This seems to be working: for example, we dug a trench once across a place where we had buried biochar a year or two earlier, and there were many times more roots from the nearby trees in that particular area than just a meter away. I was especially glad to hear in the video that application on the soil surface is doable, because we now have roots in the ground in most places, so it's become much harder to find places where I can dig deeper trenches. I'll now try adding thin layers of biochar on top, wait for it to disappear into the soil and then later add another thin layer. We water by hand with hoses during the dry season, usually November through May, so I can water more where there's biochar on top, which I'm hoping -- without evidence, mind you -- will help it infiltrate the soil. The video also emphasized things like testing the pH level. I've known this could be an issue, but you really brought it home. Testing the pH is doable and not expensive. I'll probably watch the video again just to take better notes. Thank you again.

    I am now for a while obsessed by carbon removal through biomass fuel, energy and additional biochar production. I wonder now if a mobile microwave oven + press is possible. The biomass could this way be heated to say 300°C and compressed into briquettes. Once enough of these briquettes are present, a truck collects them and transports them to a pyrolysis facility. I have a feeling, for soil improvement, the biochar should be improved with something which really holds rain water. There are gels like that. And then desert soils could be turned into fertile land.

    Plz advocate for a full switch to selection logging that does not highgrade. This is sustainable logging & real forest management, protecting relative old growth while maintains canopy for hydrology, which is how forests generate fresh water & does this all the way inland. Of course this would mean an end to clearcut logging, which should end anyway, cuz the practice does not benefit our local peoples. Where selection logging in stated way is real stewardship, yielding forest bounty of foods, medicines, dyes, fibres & latex, potentially. Plus this maintains wildlife habitat for future generations. It's about time this industry became localized & made sustainable. Then because forests stabilize climate against the floods, fires, droughts & temperature extremes it should be clear forests are needed for fertile growing conditions. Our forests are too dense in most parts anyway, so sustainable forestry would yield ample lumber. Please consider this for posterity, as well as for saving our own posteriors, thanks.

    This is the best most understandable information on plant Heath via drone data collection I have seen or heard the explanation is clear and understandable in terms basic trained or skilled agricultural agronomist can expand there knowledge of the different spectrum results. Also the best explanation of lidar data I have ever heard , well done I’ll be following any updates closely, I’m currently consulting to a variety of farming industries with the on ground methods but slowly building confidence in data collection and crop management from drones on site , Let’s cut chemical application to the last resort and improve the down stream quality of farming products, build systems that will manage small breakouts and stop in nessary chemical application. Bloody good work !!

      I think those numbers are right. 8000 pounds = 4 tons, fall rye in mid summer with a full head on. But we can check! Let me know if you've got a source with different numbers...

      @@hardcoreplayafromthehimala4888 Wayne said 200-250 lbs fall rye. They grow their own rye and have too much! Better to try around 100lb/acre fall rye to start for the cover crop. Seeding rate for alfalfa-grass mix was more involved, the agronomist recommended numbers, but it would be the same as for any drilled seeding, whether crimping or not.
