Open Source Continuous Charcoal Production Device

Basics

• Part of the Open Source Fuels Construction Set.
• Something like this essentially:
• May be slightly more refined though
• Use the D3D Ceramic Printer instead of metal barrels to increase core temperature, as well as prevent degredation due to rust.
• Add automation to the auger via a control circuit, a servo motor, and some sort of sensor
• Add temperature probes for checking everything is going smoothly + troubleshooting issues
• Add a feedstock auger system
