Has anyone ever heard of or seen one of these small scale biomass generators? Very interesting.

The company is based in Colorado.
If they indeed work as advertised, they could be onto something very useful, in a profitable niche, esp. where wood chips are readily available.

I visited their site several years ago while working on a Stirling engine project. They were gasifiying coconut shells at the time. They have refined it some, but notice they still talk more about development than every day usage.
From what I've seen, a cost effective, practical application falls in the same catagory as the Stirling engines - difficult to accomplish.
