Claim Text:
1. A system for converting biomass material into fuel and other useful products comprising: a reactor vessel; the reactor vessel having a housing extending a length from a first end to a second end and having an interior surface that defines a hollow interior; a screw elevator positioned within the hollow interior; the screw elevator having a first auger blade that wraps around a center axis of the hollow interior and extends a length between first end and second end; wherein the screw elevator is positioned in a stationary manner within the hollow interior of the housing of the reactor vessel such that the screw elevator defines a pathway for the biomass material to move through the hollow interior; wherein when the biomass material is introduced into the housing, the biomass material is forced around the first auger blade as it is exposed to heat and pressure within the hollow interior, thereby converting the biomass material partially into an oil substance.
