Abstract: A system for biomass carbon dioxide sequestration comprising a harvesting module for harvesting or collecting biomass; a drying module to which biomass assessed to have moisture content greater than a threshold moisture content by weight is directed from the harvesting module for drying said harvested biomass to a dry state where the dried harvested biomass has less than the threshold moisture content by weight; and a storage module for storing harvested biomass assessed to have moisture content by weight less than the threshold moisture content.

Abstract: An improved muzzleloading firearm having a novel safety system. The safety system utilizes a spool coupled to a compression spring to maintain an ignition system such as a primer out of potential contact with a firing pin, even in the event of unintentional actuation of a hammer or sear. The safety system is automatic in operation, automatically placing the ignition system within reach of the firing pin when the firearm is placed into battery.

Abstract: A firearm having an improved action for a muzzleloading firearm which allows the toolless field removal of the firing system for inspection, cleaning and repair. The system provides for quick release, removal and reinsertion of the firing system while maintaining safe and secure operation of the firearm during firing.
