Hi this is some interesting biomass gasification technology.
Packaged gasification solution, and I'm pretty sure its all
open-source.
Last time I saw it, it was impressive but still needed some work to make it run continuously but that was a year ago and I suspect its been improved since then,
I'm CC-ing Bear at GEK on this and I'm sure he can answer any questions.

Indonesia AR Demo Day: Saturday, Sept 15th.
As part of the Authorized Representative program launch, we're holding a demo / meet / greet day in Indonesia for those interested from the region. This is fairly short notice (2+ weeks out), but we hope it is enough time to gather those from Indonesia and mainland South East Asia that want to see a machine in person and/or talk to APL staff in person. The opportunity to do this demo just appeared so we're going with it despite the less than ideal notice.
The gathering will be at the Yogyakarta Muhammadiyah University (UMY) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The University runs a very interesting "Centre of Excellence" in collaboration with the Technical University of Eindhoven, Netherlands, to train and promote work in biomass based energy solutions for rural Indonesia. The program has been working in biogas for several years, and recently acquired a GEK Power Pallet, for which they have invited us over to commission-- thus the opportunity for the larger demo day. Here's what things looked like last week when they received their Power Pallet and removed the box.

The demonstration will take place in the Bio-energy lab next to the Energy Efficient House from 9am through the afternoon on September 15th. Dusty (Director of Sales) and Teiwaz (head of Power Pallet commissioning at APL) will be the individuals onsite for the demo (as well as previous week commissioning and training UMY staff). The plan is to run various local fuels, and generally teach the gathered how the Power Pallet works. There will be adequate time to explore specific AR questions with Dusty during and after the program.

Fall Workshop at APL
We've set the date for the fall workshop weekend at
APL as Friday-Sunday, Oct 12-14. As usual, many things
will happen-- the specifics of which we are not yet sure
of (other than the date). Many of you have been asking
for a date, so we thought we should oblige. Specifics
on date activities will come soon (right after Burning
Man, to which everyone seems to be leaving the building
for at the moment) (confused, see http://www.burningman.com).
As usual, if you are coming from overseas, we're glad
to provide visa support letters, and otherwise help to
arrange logistics. You can direct questions and RSVPs
to "sa...@allpowerlabs.org".
The workshop is free for GEK or Power Pallet owners.
Otherwise the weekend is $125 per person.
September Open House
Our monthly open house series continues at APL on
Friday, September 14th, 5-7pm. All interested are
invited to come tour our facility, eat our pizza and
drink our beer, and see a Power Pallet run. If you
plan to join us, please RSVP to "sa...@allpowerlabs.org".
We hope to see you soon, at one of the above
events.
