	It's easier to shred the wood when it's freshly cut, but then you can't use it immediately in the gasifier because it contains to much water. Any solution ? Maybe having some dried chipped wood in a cart to load the gasifier..

			EDIT : I missed this, sorry ''The steam engine's boiler may also generate some superheated steam that is used to quickly dry the wood chips. ''

EtienneD: Question about the operatability of the steam-powered wood chipper

Question about the operatability of the steam-powered wood chipper

New page

''Basic concept: a steam engine is directly (mechanically) coupled to a wood chipper. No electricity is generated. The whole purpose is to process wood. A portion of the wood chips is used to power the steam engine. The heat module relies on pyrolysis instead of combustion of biomass.''
