Hi Tom,

Who will work on titanium axial flow pumps (invented by Nicola Tesla) for rugged-ized charcoal-slurry injections.  I think the benefits of this proposed process could fund the development in technologies capable of handling this better.  Don't you think so, too?

Regards,

SKB

  Nikolaus,

  Great solution. The only headache is that charcoal is very hard on pumps and
  pump seals. We experience this when using activated charcoal for carbon
  banding while seeding grass seed.

  >In industrial sized agriculture you would use a 10 m3 tank hauled in the
  back of the seeding machine, pumping a slurry of fine milled charcoal,
  mycorrhizae infected soil and diluted melassa together with your favorite
  mix of fungi and bacteria and apply it as a side dressing or a broad band-
  below seed-dressing.
