"Burying hundreds if not thousands of dead, rotting corpses even "miles" away is not good enough. You have to worry about contaminating the ground water. You have to worry about water run off and seepage...and thats if they were just normal dead.

Zombies may be even more infectious that the average corpse. I say they must be burned. There is not other alternative.

Either simplistic or highly complex...my solar incinerator idea is fesible. The factility literaly kills two birds with one 1200 degree stone. That kind of heat will easily cremate dozens of corpses at the same time...but it will also generate electrical power by doing so.

The power created could easily power the nearly fully automated process. We are talking about simple chutes, revolving turnstyle type doors or mechanical seperation gates...and an air powered oversized sledgehammer activated by a laser break or presure plate to finish the job.

Gas, diesel, propane or wood could be used to keep the fire burning throughout the night...which will allow you to keep burning corpses and still generate steam power. "

"Best done by preparing it during the day, and lighting at dawn the next day. It takes a long time for bodies to burn, and you don't want a fire acting like a signal beacon for every zombie and Raider for miles around."

"It's a matter of priorities to me really. I'm not going to spend days trying to construct a giant solar oven which ultimately isn't practical. I'd much rather spend that time on food, shelter, and defenses.

The solar portion alone would be an absurd undertaking, let alone a giant hammer and a conveyer belt, and not to mention trying to focus the beam to hit distant targets.

its just not practical.

Burning or burying, quick, and easy."

"Raiders? I'm not scared of no raiders. I'll just turn the focused beam of solar energy on them. A refracting lens or a polished mirror should do the trick. That should give them all a real nice sun tan a few hundred yards out. At the very least...the raiders won't be able to see whats coming for them. If they aren't burnt...they will be sun blind for sure.

At night...well...I guess we'll just have to shoot them...indiscriminatly...and with brutal precision. "

"Generally...100 parabolic solar dishes of 12.5 square meters can generate about 400 kg of steam per hour. You would have to burn more than 1,000 kg of wood to generate that kind of steam."

"First time post,

I had a slightly different thought. Assume one got into your BOL, and you shot it in the head no problem. But now you have bits of zed all over what ever supplies or equipment happened to be behind it. Not only that but now its bleeding all over the floor and whatever happens to be on the floor.

How would you clean up after that in a safe manor.

P.S. I thought it was kind of funny. using dead bodies to run a power plant. The ultimate renewable energy in a zombie apocalypse."
