And there are a lot of these bikes! Sorry just read the post as it was snowed under by other subscription channels that are mass messaging.

Only I would expect the design would not be 3 dimensions as you asked but mostly all forces in one plane 😁

A cool. That is a known wide spread design. This is a very high force, I’m impressed. But it will come at a cost of displacement correct? We aim to make brickets for cooking fuels and we have a lot of groundnut shells. These groundnut or peanut shells have a a lot lignin so it is possible with wetted mass (softening)and perhaps heating with fire (lignine becomes like a glue at 200degC). After that the brickets are sundried. The bricket shape could be like icehocky pucks or at least the shape to cook with.
I think the wooden design is not that interesting to generate, but with a pellet release and refilling in one lever go (or two steps). That would be an interesting puzzle, yes?

I follow this person already for a while, very interesting things he come up with

For work in Malawi I am thinking of introducing a bricket press to make brickets from biomass. One person must pull a lever and a piston is pressing biomass into a cylinder and compresses it. The end of the stroke should be stronger and less fast. And with returning of the lever the pressed bricket or pellet is pushed out and new biomass is inserted. It can be an interesting design from scratch and nice context? It would be challenging to make it convenient for the person while large pressing forces are reached (5000n)

You are right, of course. Also repetitive thermal expansion comes into play here. We can compare it with repairing a broken heating element or other single part, instead of replacing it. My patience to properly glue it was also part of failure, hehe.

I tried the same with a low cost grill iron ( to make sandwiches 🥪). With back in my mind that I not would buy another one but fix this one once it should break. The hinge broke and a few tabs that hold oneside metal in place. I glued it but after two weeks the it broke on another place. Could not live without tosties, have now a newer bigger one…I’ve tried…

Nice to see another project of you. I’ll post my chicken coop project in near future as well

Good job @hamtron5000, you need to place the cats somewhere 😁. We also built a cat collector last month. The trick with us was the stovepipe that did not allow combustables nearby so the pathway is very small for the cats
