Abstract: A machine for clearing and converting woody biomass into a bio fuel is described. The machine may be mobile and may include a chipper. The machine may further include a vacuum intake that directs chipped woody biomass to a wood processing component within the machine. The wood processing component may convert the woody biomass into bio char, bio oil, and bio gas using a pyrolyzer system.

Abstract: A determinate positioner assembly comprises a helical cam, such as a threaded lead screw, a follower element which continuously contacts the lead screw in a predetermined number of places for a determinate condition (neither over- nor underconstrained), an elastic member connecting the follower element to the leadscrew, and a driven element. The elastic member maintains continuous contact between the follower element and the cam, yet the combination of the elastic member and the follower element exert substantially zero net force on the cam in the x and y directions. The follower element is attached to the driven element with pivot structures which transmit axial movement from the follower element to the driven element and permit the follower element to “float” in the x and y directions while prohibiting its rotation about the x, y and z axes.
