1. A method for winnowing, comprising the steps of:
loading an initial material into a winnowing system via a feed member;
feeding the initial material into a fluidically accelerated winnowing cavity;
circulating the initial material within the winnowing cavity, wherein a downdraft of fluid accelerates and redirects the initial material from vertical to horizontal flow;
repeatedly impacting the initial material against at least one plate member to yield chaff material and processed material; and
separating the chaff material and the processed material from the winnowing cavity based on density;
wherein the winnowing cavity is in fluidic communication with a plurality of fluidic inlets and a single fluidic outlet; and
wherein fluid flow from the plurality of fluidic inlets sums to act on the initial material to urge the initial material into the plate member.
