    This is by far one of the most sustainable pellet processes I have seen. Great job!
    A lot actually crush logs into pulp/sawdust! then moisten or dry them automatically! then make pellets! I mean if you're going to waste all of that energy to make pellets why not jsut by a log burner instead of a pellet burner!!!!

    @TeflonTron For several years we have heated our home with a 25kw pellet boiler, we used to burn just wheat straw pellets. You can provide all your heating and hot water with grass pellets, however grass pellets like straw pellets produce more ash than wood pellets and can create other issues.

  • @oceanmariner

    Grass doesn't burn as hot as wood and it makes a lot of ash. You can make pellets out of almost any plant waste, but is it worth it? If you're in a cold climate and a pellet stove is your primary heat source, I'd suggest you test different brands and different woods. You'll find a big difference in heat and the amount of ash between brands. I've found as much as a 30% heat difference in heat output. Any wood pellet produces more heat than ag waste pellets.

    Could you make grass tea first, before you make them into pellets, or would that screw up the lignin? A landscaper friend got me interested in making grass clipping tea as a great natural liquid fertilizer. It would be quite awesome to do both that, and then make pellets out of it afterwards, assuming I allow enough time for it to dry first.

    We have a small farm only a couple of acres. We have access to cut grass from the areas our goats cannot graze. We are too small to own a hay baler. I'm wondering if these grass pellets are an option for us as a feed supplement for the goats? Easy to store.

  • @discountbrains
    @discountbrains 9 років тому +11

    I thought of this a while back. This is just about the perfect solution for carbon neutral home heating (and free). This is actually direct use of solar energy. The grass or weeds absorb the Sun's energy during the Summer; then its harvested and gives us this energy as heat in the Winter. All the CO2 given off by burning it is no more than was taken up during the Summer. One might even grow a small patch of tall plants for more biomass. Right now I'm experimenting with pressing briquettes with my arbor press.

    • @CrownOfTheTown
      @CrownOfTheTown 9 років тому

      CO2 is the molecular combination of carbon and oxygen that is chemically bound by burning. The carbon is taken from the plant, and the oxygen is taken from the air. The amount of CO2 that is created has nothing to do with how much the CO2 the plant already contains. If I'm understanding correctly, by your logic, burning wood would be just as efficient as burning grass due to the fact that wood also soaks in CO2 from the atmosphere during summer. CO2 isn't released by burning. It is CREATED by burning.

    • @discountbrains
      @discountbrains 9 років тому

      CrownOfTheTown
      Well, thank you for pointing that out. You're such a genius. No, grass DOES absorb CO2 from the atmosphere in photosynthesis. So do trees, but the CO2 might have been absorbed years ago.

    • @CrownOfTheTown
      @CrownOfTheTown 9 років тому

      discountbrains Yeah, I'm not trying to be rude, but I think perhaps you should read what I said one more time. No where did I say that grass doesn't absorb CO2. Of corse it absorbs CO2. My point is, The CO@ given off by burning is new CO2 being created by the burning process, and has little to do with the CO2 that the grass already contains.

    • @discountbrains
      @discountbrains 9 років тому +1

      CrownOfTheTown
      OK, so it replaces the original CO2, The original CO2 was broken down into C and O2. The plant releases the O2 into the atmosphere. This brings up a new question for me: Does the plant get all of its C from the atmosphere or does some of it come from the ground? Thus, does it release more CO2 in the atmosphere when burned than it had absorbed from CO2 in the air? But, then if this is so all the C it gets from the soil could have been tied to O2 and again it releases the O2 into the air or it just recombines it into other molecules.

    • @patrickd9551
      @patrickd9551 2 роки тому

      A 10HP pelletmill will produce 80+kg/hour. So in order to produce 2000 kg (should be more then plenty to cover winter and then some more) would take 25 hours, or 3 work days. These machines just have hoppers like any other machine. Fill the hopper, watch bag fill, remove bag and fill the hopper some more.
      Bigger plants have more automation. giant hoppers, transport belts and many more lights and switches, but essentially it's all the same.

I've shy'd away from the purchase because I'm not sure if these pellets will perform well enough in my stove. If the ash content is too high compared to premium hardwood pellets it might plug up my burn pot & outside vent. I also don't want to buy ANOTHER multi-thousand dollar unit (hammer mill) to process other items to pelletize. :(
