We don't chop firewood, but we bind it

Alexander turner · Jul 28, 2020

1. We planted trees along the fence of our country house 20 years ago (picture 1). Old Apple trees, pears trees, cherries trees, ... grow near the house. We cut down branches every year.
2. Saving forests is the best way to combat the greenhouse effect, this is in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
So we came up with and made a new gadget for binding billets from branches (picture 2).
3. Firewood pile (picture 3) are most quickly and conveniently warm the cold house. Knitted billets quickly heat the oven. Split billets slowly maintain the desired temperature in the house.
4. The entire volume of the knitted log begins to glow in the firebox from a certain moment. Sometimes log huts burn like that. Will it be fascinating in the fireplace? Perhaps, for such billets, it is appropriate to make a special stand, so that the branches lie beautifully in the fire. Am I right?

Faggots ?

Looks like a good solution to cure coach potato obesity.. those twig bundles will burn so fast who ever is loading them onto the fire will get a great workout getting up every minute to throw some more on the fire.

Sorry, but burning faggots was abolished years ago.

This is the fastest way to heat a cold house. I compared them.
I first often put knitted billets in the firebox and quickly heat the house to the desired temperature.
I then seldom put the largest split billets in the furnace to maintain the desired temperature.
“Looks like a good solution to cure obesity..”
No, it doesn't look it. Making knitted billets by sawing will help treat obesity. In Russia, this is relevant.

I would like to pick you up on one thing, I think the biggest thing to mitigate climate change, is to save peat lands, and grassland that is being grazed in a way to sequester carbon, and yes, not cutting down established forests, but planting new forests does nothing to stop climate change (except give a nice warm feeling to "woke" individuals and companies who plant trees to offset their air travel/lifestyle).

That's great! I also believe that swamps are the best place on Earth. The heroes of Russian folk tales, the Кикимора (hobgoblin) and the Леший (Goblin) think so too (http://дело9м.рф/skazki.html#bookmark5). Therefore my dream is to learn how to build roads with the least damage to the swamps (https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=460971 Drilling roads on the swamps).

Fastest way to heat a house is to insulate it first . just saying .

This is wrong. You can't live in a thermos.

You need to go to Sweden. Some houses so insulated body heat alone keeps them warm.

Heat our house with a fag lighter , put a 16kw in for insurance , [USER=69308]@Alexander turner s wood would self combust after entering the chamber .

We should not go to Sweden, but to London, where such houses were built for the first time. But there is no place to cut branches in London.

I read articles about houses without heating. This task consists of two parts.
- heat insulation,
- the collection of heat from different sources, even garbage.
The second task is the most difficult in a city house, and the English engineers are doing well. In a forest\garden house it is very simple: you need to collect the branches correctly.

I assume you are talking about passive houses?

As a fan of Grand Designs I've seen a few developments over the years aim for this level of accreditation but as a society we are still a long way off being accepting of the idea. I for one always sleep with the window open

That's right:
1. Life in a thermos is bad.
2. Knitted billets can be useful.
3. Do they burn beautifully in the fireplace?
Further.
Let's imagine \fantasize.
1. There are remote places on Earth where the most accessible source of energy is wood. For example, this is Siberia or Alaska. Does England have such places?
2. It is Necessary to provide energy to a small group of people, for example, a geological expedition, military saboteurs, Russian religious old believers, ...
3. Let them be armed with the most modern technologies, for example, a pyrolysis generator, four-legged robots stolen from Boston Dynamics, on which sit three-armed robots who can both saw and chop wood, and collect brushwood, and tear bast.
Which method of harvesting wood will be the most correct?

I want one of those robots!
