Hey, that's kind of you to say. Unfortunately, although I started putting the Maslow together a month or two ago, I didn't get very far, so it's still sitting around not yet assembled. But I hope to progress on it soon.

Wouldn’t you want to position / angle the cylinder such that the too big pieces fall out of the open end by gravity after a few spins to be collected a back-to-compost bin / second wheelbarrow?
@ThumbsUpWorkshop
@ThumbsUpWorkshop Жыл бұрын
Yes, that's the set-up I had going. Not sure if it was apparent in the video, but there was a smaller wheelbarrow below (which, by the way, was also something I picked up for free on rubbish day, but incidentally has since broken and been tossed out) to catch the larger pieces. Thanks for the comment!

I once made a nearly identical device that was powered with a microwave motor. I used it with water and sharp sand in it for tumbling rusty nails and screws to remove rust from them. It worked wonderfully well, and it was quiet as a mouse. It was only about a gallon sized plastic bottle with a large sized lid. It probably had been a catering sized mayonnaise bottle or similar. My nails and screws looked factory fresh after slowly tumbling for a few hours. I left it behind when moving, so I will now be making another one for derusting hardware. Thanks for reminding me with your simple sifter.

How long does the battery last and have you worn out the bucket?
@ThumbsUpWorkshop
@ThumbsUpWorkshop Жыл бұрын
So far, I've gone through about two times of emptying the white 55-gallon compost tumbler using the sifter. The battery still seems to be doing fine so far; the only problem is when the load on the system is too heavy, and the sifter slows down or the casters don't stay in the channel. The bucket hasn't worn out at all -- I'm not very concerned about that. I think that to address these issues, I hope to at some point incorporate ideas suggested in the comments about going with the 12V battery and a dimmer switch in order to control the speed, as well as casters on the other sides of the bucket to keep it in place. I tried using an old AC adapter instead of a battery (obviously, in order to avoid using a battery at all) at one point during the initial development of the machine, but it didn't work with the motor -- the motor would continually start and stop, start and stop, start and stop... I think this StackExchange question is more or less what's going on: electronics.stackexchange.com/q/419562/323054

However, after some more thought on this, one issue with using the same tumbler for both the composting phase and the sifting phase is that the sifting wouldn't work, I don't think, if the tumbler were still full to the brim with compost. There has to be enough capacity in the drum for its contents to fall around when the drum is rotating, or else there won't be that action that separates contents of various sizes from each other (nor would compost stuck near the axis of a filled up drum really experience much turbulence, for lack of a better word). I suppose that issue could be solved by emptying the compost out of the drum and then shoveling it back in, bit by bit, once the machine has been transformed into sifting mode, though...

I think you should go with a 12 volt battery and add a speed controller. I also think you should have used more parts from the jeep, the gas pedal could be used as a speed controller and I also think you could have used the switch in the jeep to make it either go forward backward or not move at all. I suggest that you also add something to the top to stop the bucket from coming off the track like you mentioned. Over all great project and excellent camera views. Thank you so much for sharing.

EVERYONE OVER THINKS COMPOSTING; I SAY ; KEEP IT SIMPLE! tip = get rid of all of your complicated "compost tumblers" I have experimented with several manufactured types and made a number DIY tumblers of various sizes over many years. NOTHING works as simply and EASILY as the "compost stack" system that I will share with you now. 1= Get yourself a bunch of 10 to 15 gallon used nursery pots 2=Find a shaded area in your yard for your new "Compost Stacks" 3=Fill each pot 3/4 full of shredded or chipped material (unshredded material will take 2-4 times as long to breakdown) 4=Stack the pots one inside the other about 4 or 5 pots high; lean stacks of pots against each other to help stabilize them. 5=Throw a few worms into each of the top pots 6=Add water to the top pot in each stack until you see water running out of holes in the sides of the bottom pot of the stack. 7= once a month or so ; unstack the pots to check the moisture and if the center of the bottom pots are dry all the way through; restack and add water as described in step 6 . 8= note that about every month or so the level of the material in the pots will compact down to about the halfway point; when this happens; unstack the pots and dump material from one pot to another to refill as many pots as possible back up to the 3/4 full level. 9= compost should be ready to use in 4-5 months 10= Did you notice how EASY IT IS to handle the 10-15 gallon pots? 11= enjoy SIMPLE AND EASY "compost stack" composting

I'm happy with my way of doing it, but thanks. Also, compost often has to be sifted regardless of what method you use to create the compost in the first place. I think that maybe one big difference I could make in my process is shredding or mashing what I put in there.

@ThumbsUpWorkshop Жыл бұрын
The casters fit in the channel so snugly that I don't think there is room to add grip tape. Adding casters on the sides and/or the top might be my only option. For now, I just turn off the machine and put the trommel back into place, which isn't ideal, but it's good enough. Thanks for the suggestion!
