Saw one char maker use sheet metal. Made a long section about 5 feet long, folded it over to make like a triangle. Then Put wood in the triangle. Poured the rice hulls over the metal. Set the wood in the triangle on fire. Made about twice the amount of char. Than is made in this video.
The volume of carbonized rice husks will directly depend on the size of the pile you start with. If you start with a pile twice the size you will end up with twice the volume...try it!
First of all thank you for promoting this great technique. There is little wrong with this technique. You should not 'BURN' the hull. Burning will give you Ash. what we need is charcoal. When you do this properly you dont get smoke from the hull. Charcoal itself not a fertilizer but it attracts substances and releases slowly. We have been using this from sometime and seen very fruitful results.
Yes you are right. Way less smoke should be coming out of the pipe. But over all we get a very, very good ration ash to charcoal. It isn't the most professional system. It's a solution for everyone to access the product and use it.
Mixed with cement it will make a good fireproof insulator or even aircrete. You will have to charge that stuff or it will reduce soil fertility. Add your sewage and urine. My land in Portugal and the Philippines is low fertility so I will be adding biochar.
I’m a new subscriber to your channel and i really like your channel. It so informative and a lot of tips and ideas i can get.thank you and let’s subscribe for more info. God bless.
Hello, carbonizing will require burning, therefore it will create some smoke. The pollution isn't really big compare to the potential benefits of using Carbonized Rice Hull (CRH). But to be clear, CRH has nothing to do with composting, but the fact that you can add it to your compost pile. I recommend you look into composting method if you want to create compost and not CRH.
I followed and carbonated the husk but after mixing it up with binder and water to make a briquette but the briquette lacks ignition spike and because of that it can not burn. Any help please???
Hi, not being sure I understand your question, I will answer the 2 options. 1- You can definitely use CRH on plants directly after it cool down. I would recommend you mix it with good quality compost first, though. 2- regarding the wood shavings I would recommend you use it to mulch more woody plants, like bushes and trees. Wood shavings will need "N" to break down. therefore it may starve you vegetables and other shallow rooted plants form Nitrogen. If you have a lot, wood shavings a great used as on path as well.
Hi there, Sorry I couldn't tell you about the temperature. I never measured it. You don't need to. Only look at the husks becoming black. This is the measuring tool you need for this method. Have fun with it !
In what way are you asking? The coal you will have to extract with big machinery and burn to create electricity? Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking?
Hi Dave, thank you for your question. There is a very large amount of ways to use biochar or carbonised product. Here is a link to the most commun uses. I hope I'll help. www.researchgate.net/publication/257939693_55_Uses_of_Biochar
You can see that is a small set up. I cannot answer your question. Sorry. But one thing for sure, I wouldn't use this method to generate large volumes.
Up cycling waste. Appropriately Low tech. Genius and exactly appropriate for the context! I'll buy bags of it if it's available in my country.
absolutely awesome! thank you for the info
Nice informative video I'm loving it 👍
thank you for the very informative video God Bless!
It was helpful
A smaller version
I had a new idea to try it!
This is very educational

Do we have this technology in Sri Lanka? How does carbonized rice husk help plant growth?
Very simple
Nice

This is called biochar in the US and other countries, one should also charge/inoculate it before applying to soil
What purposes this item ? Is using for pig feed how? Sir
Ready for use
I have a source for Sawdust. Will give this a try.
Now I know where it came from.
Good info no need to buy expensive 15k machine.
You are right. No need to pay a large amount of money for this.
Magandang fertilizer yn natural. Ok sa pananim
Safety first!
Thank you
Master......
Can i do the same thing with sawdust? There's a sawmill not too far from where I live.
Hi Michael, for sure you can use sawdust, bones and all other carbon source. best to find a waist product. It should be readily available and cheap.
How many days to carbonized before cooling down with water
Only few hours if notvless of "cooking" and directly water down to stop the process, or you will end up with ashes only!

Hello
is there any Experience of productivity of Plants between mixing CRH with soil and laying CRH on the top of the soil?
Wow
Hi thank you for the video, is it possible to make bbq briquette from this carbonized rice husk ?? thank you
Hi there,
Sorry I dont have any experience making briquettes. I couldn't say.

ARE YOU NOT POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT WITH THE SMOKE? IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO COMPOST THE RICE HUSK?

What are the uses for CRH?
useful what Karbonn
I followed and carbonated the husk but after mixing it up with binder and water to make a briquette but the briquette lacks ignition spike and because of that it can not burn. Any help please???
Please refer to a video on charcoal briquettes to find your answers. How to make charcoal briquettes, for example. Thank you
What useful
I did this but I have lot of wood shavings . How can I use it on plants?

Sir kindly let me know at what temperature rice husk burns in this method? Is any temperature control?
No, let it flow, if you see fire on the husk just pour a water
Hi there, Sorry I couldn't tell you about the temperature. I never measured it. You don't need to. Only look at the husks becoming black. This is the measuring tool you need for this method. Have fun with it !
How do you know the difference between carbonized and ash?
Hi Aiden, the answer is very simple. one, the ash is a powder, the second is still shaped like the original carbon source you used to start with.
Will this kind of charcoal produce as much pollution as the ordinary coals?
In what way are you asking? The coal you will have to extract with big machinery and burn to create electricity? Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking?
Advatange of this is you don't need to cut down a tree.
How many hours it took?
Around 2 hours, everything included. It is very easy to do, and will make a big difference where applyed.
Sir, What is it use for please

It can be use as growing media
Can i use this immidiately on plants after its cooled down?
Yes, no need of extra work.
@@AbundantbyNature Many think you need to charge the char. Or it will stunt plant growth, because it robs fertilizer from the soil.
Why do we need to add zinc chloride? Whats the purpose.
Hi Marvic, I couldn't answer this. I do not talk about this in the movie. Sorry
Zncl is added to chemically activate d rice hull
good day sir, are all charcoal carbonized?
Hi there. Yes all charcoal is carbonized.

How long we have to burn the rice husk (Hour)
Until the entire pile is done. For the pile in this movie it took less then 2 hours from start to finish.
