For example, if it is desired to have the hinge 60 bend at forty degrees (as roughly shown in FIG. 16), then the pin 64 is fabricated with a forty degree bend before being combined with the hinge 60 to maintain the hinge 60 at the same angle as the pin 64 (and the same angle as the two roof sections 16, 18).

  • the plastic matrix may be epoxy, a thermosetting plastic (most often polyester or vinylester), thermoplastic or any other suitable matrix. The plastic matrix is sprayed onto the biomass 32 particles as they float through the air toward the collection area. The coated biomass 32 particles settle in the collection area where they are compressed to a desired volume and thickness before the plastic matrix (acting as a glue) dries. After the plastic matrix dries, the biomass 32 is cut into pieces of desired length and thickness. Finally, the pieces are coated with the membrane 34.

First, it helps to strengthen the biomass 32 in the same way that fiberglass is strengthened by adding a chemical solution to the individual glass filaments. Second, if the outer membrane 34 is punctured, the membrane 34 coating the biomass 32 serves to prevent the infiltration of air and water beyond the area immediately surrounding the puncture.
