(Bring some more Organic Beer and Organic Schokolade ....smile.... :)
If you like to join us, send us a E-Mail to : info ( at ) drachenmuehle.de or via Tribe.net profil ...
people.tribe.net/dragonfamily
And ... How much mooney ?
The price to be part on it, will be you inwolft and 8+4 = 11 Euro per day ink. organic food and thy workshop .
Thy mooney is also for :
( : full ecological food, eco (green)- electrity and a sleeping space )
If you have a bigger Mooney pocket than we have: feel free to spend in to thy magic hut .
Anyway Rainbow will be Magichut ! see : dragonmill.net/gaestezimmer.htm
And we ...
... we will build it near the historic ex-chickenhouse,
beside the old Lime -Tree on her Dragonmill.
Thy part is nowadays called Saxonia Germany.
The size from thy Biomeiler will be about 80 m3.
Also we will change thy ex-Chickenhouse in to a: Freaky Biomeiler Bathroom :)
... and we will have a save fire everynight, not raining :)
... also some willing,will see some nice movis in nighttime like Prinzess Mononoke, Braveheart ...
And here : Thy Video !

Jean Pain and his Biomeiler
Google Video/14 mins 30 Secs
German into English
Translator: Jana
Narrator: Five driving hours further South a Frenchman also made himself independent with Biogas.
He is an Inspector for a larger forest area in the region of XXXX South of France.
His house towers high on a chalky hilltop between the Côte d’Azûr and the Alps of Provençe.
Jean Pain, the innovator from Ville Croze has to refuel once again.
The gas that he is compressing here is not derived from manure but from wood.
The idea for this came to the forest inspector some years ago
when he was composting some brushwood to make fertilizer for his garden.
He realized there is plenty of brushwood in the Provençe and it is also dangerous,
as it will spread the fire if it burns some place.
And if the Mistral blows, it will turn into a disaster.
This Storm will drive the fire through the dried up forests and
100’s of hectare forest can be destroyed in just a few hours.
In those places where Jean Pain has cleared the forest of underbrush,
the fire just passes under the trees and cannot ignite them so easily.
The valuable energy stored within the trees cannot get lost so easily anymore.
And so Jean Pain came to make it his mission to utilize his
knowledge of wood composting to gain energy out of under brush.
He cleans out the forest systematically with the help of his team.
While doing this, he is very careful to remove only as much,
as to leave the fertility of the forest floor in tact.
To be able to chip the brushwood, Jean Pain built a heksler himself.
This heksler is driven by a tractor. A flywheel with steel blades will chip branches of almost any size.
At first the wood chips are stored in a storage container.
The second stage. The wood chips are sent through the steel blades for a second time.
Now they are fine enough to be composted.
Jean Pain seems satisfied with the result. He can also be satisfied with the work of his team.
It cleared 40 tons of brushwood from 1 ha land in just five days.
This took about 500l of fuel.
Normally the stripped branches would be left on the ground to rot but
Jean Pain wants to make something better of it. Energy and compost.
The 40 tons of wood chips from one hectare can be harvested again every eight years here in the Provençe.
If you were to burn it, you could use it to substitute about 10'000 litres of heating oil.
But Jean Pain wants more. At first he pours some water over it and lets nature work for him, namely,
billions of busy bacteria.
His method has also convinced a couple of Belgians.
With them we could film every step of the process.
Here he is marking out the base for the new pile of wood chips.
There are many preparations necessary, but they are worth it.
Because the innovator from Ville Croze has discovered,
that with the help of the bacteria
there is much more fuel to be made of these chips than if you simply burn them.
On top of the large circle, layer upon layer, the Biomeiler is being created.
The more carefully the wood chips are being stamped down, the better the bacteria can decompose them.
In the centre of the pile is the fermenting tank.
It is filled with compost that is already a few months old,
therefore already partially composted. A PVC pipe is then spiralled around it.
The fermenting tank is sealed hermetically.
The compost can now ferment and as in the Steiner System, produce Biogas.
The long PVC pipe is for water. It is designed to draw the heat from the Biomeiler.
The pipe is carefully embedded into the layers of wood chips and stamped down.
The opening of the water pipe. Here we pump cold water into the Biomeiler, to warm it up.
A few hundred metres of PVC pipe disappear in the woodpile this way.
Also the fermenting tank, soon it will be heated up by the fermenting process,
by the heat the bacteria will release during fermentation.
The gas pipe is being fitted.
Now it will only take a few more days until the Biomeiler will start to produce energy.
It will produce gas in the centre tank, and in the outer layers it will produce heat.
Now, returning back to Provençe, we can see a finished Biomeiler.
This 80 m3 pile carries 40 tons of heksel material and 20 tons of water. It produces gas and heat.
The inside temperature rises above 60°C, regardless whether the sun is shining or if it is raining.
The Meiler would also work in Siberia.
Out of Meilers such as this one it has been possible to get hot water for 18 months.
Jean Pain saved on 4000 litres heating oil this way.
As well as that, the fermentation chamber inside also produces Biogas to the equivalent
of 5000 litres heating oil.
Understandable therefore that Jean Pain and his wife Ida
are reasonably proud of their particular use of solar energy.
Ida:“ Thanks to the heat from the wood compost I have warm water.
It is 60°C. And I shall now bring it to the boil with the gas from the wood Meiler to make us a tea.“
Jean:“ Brushwood offers us these extraordinary possibilities;
This valuable resource, of which we have vast quantities on this planet.
A resource, which will produce warm water in rural areas and heating of houses.
You can also get gas from it, methane, to considerable amounts and use this to produce electricity.
And after this unconventional way of energy production the remains can be used as fertiliser.
It is the best there is.
I think it is time to realise that the under brush in any forest makes up
the most substantial part of bio matter on this planet.“
Narrator: And this is what remains of the 80 m3 Meiler.
Should you choose to burn this material, you would again substitute about 3000 litres of heating oil.
From the brush wood of 1 ha there can be made in total more than 1/5 more energy than if you were to burn it.
But this material is far too precious to burn because it is a valuable fertiliser.
Why this carbon monoxide poor wood compost can be such a powerful plant fertiliser
is a question that by now also interests some Belgian scientists.
These Belgian potatoes have never received mineral fertiliser,
only the remainder of the wood compost.
Are there carbon monoxide collecting bacteria living within the compost,
that together with other microbes deliver the necessary nourishment?
Even in the Provençe with relatively poor rainfall it is possible to have decent crops
with the help of the wood compost, without any additional watering.
Are air, wood compost and morning dew enough to fully nourish the crops?
Until now these questions remain unanswered.
Even Jean Pain doesn’t yet know the answers to them.
Him and his assistants do not have a laboratory and are not scientists.
The innovator of Ville Croze, recipient of the French honorary title “Knight of Agriculture”,
has shown us what can be done with brushwood.
The waste product of our forests can produce various forms of energy and valuable plant fertiliser.
And particularly in the dryer climate regions of our earth the forests
are better protected against devastating fires this way.
Ida and Jean Pain, and the Steiner’s in Switzerland, have invented
something with which man can really accomplish something.
It isn’t just about the possibility to gain energy from brushwood,
but it is ultimately about getting more nourishment and to
gain renewable energy from our environment without harming it.

in all colors bright as fire
song soars above our dreams
our souls become one
higher ever higher we fly
in the delights of our ecstasies
to heights of unknown joys
brightest laughter our swaying
and everything fire in us.
