Hi, I just completed my first prototype of an automatic coal loader. I've been looking to buy one of these for a while now, and I just could not find one that suited my taste. The only option left was to build one. ! I thought for nights on how to build it, and finally came up with a design that I thought I could build. You can find a full description at my website under "Operating Coal Loader". Check it out!

(thanks to shaygetz and walt I now know how to post images:)

Here is a side view of the loader (My first prtotype was quickly put together quickly with plexiglass and hot glue to test my deisgn, so it's not exactly the prettiest thing you ever saw):



View from motor side:

You'll find a Photobucket account goes a long way towards making posting pictures easier. They provide all the necessary HTML to post on each type of format with each picture.
