· 1st Place Winners in the design challenge to create a biomass water heater for domestic homes

· We are a team of five University of Maine Orono students. 

· We were competing against our fellow classmates to make an efficient bio mass water heater.

· Our design includes a PLC run system leaving it virtually hands free. 

· Also by running on pellets we use a readily available renewable energy source.
