Is Marjan an engineer? His installation looks very professional with sensors and automation devices. I would love something like this where waste heat is captured and used for a purpose.
I hope he has his equipment in a garage and not a basement of his home. Besides the noise of the engine, there is the CO safety issue.
Many years ago, a business in New England started selling diesel generators to heat homes. They would use the waste heat to warm the home while selling the electricity back to the utility through the grid. It was ingenious and very efficient (as opposed to oil fueled boilers common to the area). But the company failed after one installation suffered a failure with the engine. The failure didnāt start a fire but instead filled the home with black smoke while the owners were away. The house had to be gutted and belongings trashed as there was no way to clean them.
Indeed.
Many fail to completely understand the true value of the āFail Safeā concepts.
Assuming the better way system WILL at some point: Fail.
When it does fail . . . is that inevitable Fail been made as safe as possible??!!
As much engineering efforts/expenses and operational procedures has to be made for the most important principle True Fail-safe as for all of the Ooh-Wowās, and NeatāOs.
Failing that . . . then a long, painful, damaging, series of trial&errors evolving to fail-safe.
The unpopular, very necessary guy; is the what-if guy. Have one. And pause; listen to him.
Just never let him dominate stoppages with Zero incidnets demands. Denying Risks&Rewards their progress.

Pee-inoculated charcoal fines (biochar) is a great soil amendment. I keep a bucket of charcoal fines in the shop as a urinal. Charcoal adsorbs (not absorbs) and is odor-free. Rich Earth Institute : Gardener Guide to Urine Fertilizer
Apparently all the rain we had got to my barrel and soaked them revealing a lot more char then i thought i had. Iām in not exactly sure how Iām going to get it out with out creating a mess as the bottom is about rotted out and it got really heavy..
Are @tcholton717 and @Dualfuel are you guys okay? I know we are getting pummeled with heavy thunderstorms. TC was already flooded and roads were completely washing out in the UP. Just checking to make sure you are alright or if you need help.. Just for reference..
If anyone wants to go white water rafting and enjoy the snow white banks now is your opportunity.. There is a better river, but I canāt find the video.. atm.
Here is the video I was looking for a snowy white scenic class 5 rapids! Donāt miss your chance to be a part of this Once in a lifetime opportunity! (Life preservers are recommended but not supplied)
Thanks for checking on us Sean. I live on a hill top. My meadow, about a hundred feet lower, is looking canoe-able but thatās about it. It will drain into the swamp and then Lake Leelanau. We only got about 5 inches of rain since Sunday, so not real bad.
I didnāt realize it was that big of a hill. I just knew you had a lowland swampy area. We have houses and apartments built on the swamp, and cars flooded. āit is climate changeā no you guys built in a swamp, and that is what is supposed to happen.. hrrm..
Maybe someone is interested in what power - energy is needed to grind stones, ā¦ Medium hard stones with a size of 10 to 30 cm square are ground to a sand size of 0-32mm. Here, approximately 3-4 kWh are used per 1 ton of stones. Today I measured the wood consumption at Fergie,ā¦
I ground approximately 4 m3 of sand, which is a weight of 7 tons. This should require approximately 25 kWh of energy, well, Fergie used less than 20 kg of wood, and the operating hour meter measured 2 hours (but in terms of time it was 2.5 hours)
Conclusion:
I could have bet on this. Relocated my worms to their summer quarters last week which is an unheated shed. Got to 22f last night. Nothing froze luckily. The bins are stacked on a plastic rack unit. I have an electric heater under the rack right now. Glad I didnāt have anything started in the Greenhouse.
I almost moved my tomatoes out on saturday when it was 70F out, I was glad I didnāt we had very light snow coming down yesterday afternoon. After god only knows how much rain we got, I was not expecting to see snow again.
Beautiful views Kristijan. I think all outside work is underrated by many, it gives so much more to see what one have accomplished in comparison to a number at the bottom of a paper in my eyes.
This is of course a big generalisation of work but you guys get what I mean.
Joep, l know you know these places well but hats off, thats exactly right. Next time you drive here you will be a bit safer. A bit. The nets we are laying on hete is a spit in the sea if lm honestā¦ the whole mountain above is highly unstable.
Thanks Kristijan, I feel much safer now. We spent a lot of time there. Did the Sveti Jure a few years back. From sealevel up and down, during summer. One of the last peaks I didnt do. Not bad for someone who is afraid of heights. .
Here is a video my daughter driving on the road you photographed. She just got her drivers licence. Special experience for a flatlander. One of my favourite roads in Croatia. You can go wild there but no second chance if things go wrong. The same as your work. Be carefull, responsibilty and such . Stay safe, thanks.

Mountains always reveal their monumentality! I only ever traveled to discover mountains by train, when I was traveling to Perm for work in my 20s.
In the Donbas steppes, you can only see artificial mountainsāore heaps from coal mines.

. Stay safe, thanks.
