Thom built a prototype of the integrated winnower, including a clear front so we could see how everything works. The ramps are adjustable to allow the angles to be tweaked.

Initial test went well, with a few seeds getting stuck on the ramp

A fair amount of chaff made it out of the system

While the seeds dropped down into the bottom

Our only concern is the ability to generate a constant amount of airflow using a hand powered fan attached to the hand crank. We plan to discuss with Erv during his visit this weekend.
