Final Concept...

Here is a quick sketch of our final layout. We have split this weeks efforts into 3 areas - Hopper, Winnower and Rollers

Thom will be working this week to integrate a winnower system based on CTI's recommendation. The idea is to make a small fan that blows air across the falling grain, forcing the chaff up and out the side.

Jeff will be working on the roller assemblies, adding rubber sheet to one of the rollers. This decreases the amount of grain breakage significantly

I will be building the hopper. I am using a plastic bin to start, and adding the ability to adjust the feed rate by varying the size of the opening.

The 3 of us worked from each of our homes today, so the images will follow shortly...
