This external combustion chamber burns whole kernel corn or wood pellets.
The external combustion chamber in this experiment has remarkable performance and uses only corn to
generate these flames.
This prototype built in 2001 did not use automated fueling. It is a manual feed unit where fuel is introduced by the operator.
In this example
the corn burner is "manual feed". However we have also
experimented with fully automated units. All automated features are omitted on this model including the agitator so the coals must be manually stirred.
SAFE COMPONENT
SELECTION----When selecting a component, the total system
design must be considered to ensure safe, trouble free
performance. Component function, materials compatibility,
adequate ratings, proper installation, operation, and
maintenance are the responsibility of the system designer and
user.
