End to End test

This was the first end to end test of the stripper/thresher/winnower.

Dare I say...fabulous!

Thom had an moment of inspiration while tearing apart his dryer to fix it...he found a little plastic fan that put out LOTS of air with LITTLE movement. The yellow rig you see in the video is a hand cranked fertilizer applicator...not the final thing, but a HUGE leap forward...

Thom will be backing up the system, and himself, for a trip to Mali in December to test the system in remote villages. The system will most likely stay there, and we will continue to refine based on user feedback.

In the meantime, we await the first harvest of fresh millet from the USDA to validate the yield and time estimates...
