Wilmot is the first to admit that
the major roadblock to Generation
One is labor, with all that stacking
in and hauling out of hay bales.
So, he’s already mulling over
ideas for “Generation Two,” and
then even “Generation Three,”
more mechanized versions of his
basic solar crop drying design.
Generation Two would
theoretically be serai-mechanized,
the bales loaded non-manually into
the chamber, perhaps on a wagon
as some drying systems, already
available, operate. A projected
third design could carry the solar
dryer into total mechanization,
moving bales in and out of the
chambers without ever touching
them.
