'Morning troopsOddly enough, today at the Statfold Barn open day, a group of us were puzzling over some very new looking equipment. In the end the consensus was that it might be the boiler for a workshop heating system. As far as could be made out, an automatic stoking system fed wood chippings from a large hopper to the boiler by means of an Archimedes screw.
A friend of mine is moving to the country where he has access to
unlimited quantities of hardwood fuel. He's looking to find a small boiler
and steam engine, which he says would be about 10HP (8 Watts ?), with which
he hopes to power a generator to provide all his electrical needs, with the
boiler also serving to produce domestic hot water and heating.
