I'm not good with AutoCAD drawings. So not for a while. But I can give you the basic idea. You would be making your own parabolic reflectors to focus on a barrel. It is the heat of the sun that will cook, without oxygen, the contents of the barrel. You will have to capture the gasses that comes out of the barrel, run it through a condenser to give you an excellent plant-derived insecticide and fungicide or biofuel, depending on the various stages of condensates (lighter ones comes first, then heavier ones). What remains is the biochar inside the barrel, and at the same time, you produce excellent natural insecticide and fungicide, and biofuel (which can be refined further for fueling your car). In this setup, nothing is wasted. More complex, more expensive, but very environmentally friendly.
If I can find scanners and my old drawings, will post it here, but that could take some time.
