  • Method to stimulate tree sap self-ejection from a tree
    Patent number: 10512224
    Abstract: A method to stimulate tree sap self-ejection from a tree through a plurality of spouts by wrapping a tree with a metal liner and a flexible tube, adding an insulation shell then heating or chilling a portion of a tree trunk by flowing heated or chilled a freeze resistant fluid through the flexible tube. At least one fluid pump, heat exchanger and controller are used to modulate temperature based on forest information and weather historical information to create a more efficient sap collection and processing method.
    Type: Grant

  • SYSTEM TO STIMULATE TREE SAP SELF-EJECTION FROM A TREE
    Publication number: 20190281773
    Abstract: A system to stimulate tree sap self-ejection from a tree through a plurality of spouts by heating or chilling a portion of a tree trunk. The system can include a metal liner and at least one flexible tube wrapped around the metal liner containing a freeze resistant fluid, a shell encapsulates the flexible tube and metal liner around the tree. At least one fluid pump, heat exchanger and controller form the sap self-ejection system which can include one or more sources to heat or chill freeze resistant fluid, creating a system for more efficient sap collection and processing.
