    It’s not too complicated. You use a wire mesh to sieve the seeds to separate the ones you want from the ones you don’t. Beans are big, but grass seeds are small. I need to do a lot, so I made a big thing for it. I made it spin so I can do more in one batch. The small stuff drops out and a fan below the main part blows away the chaff by using the “wind” which is called “winnowing”.

    Imagine setting your iptables to only accept a certain ip4 range to exclude countries which tend to probe servers. Then you blow away small port access requests you don’t want which you have tunnelled to larger numbers e.g. reject 22 and accept 6622.

      I had a Corn kernel burning stove (similar to a wood pellet stove, but less mess). I had a screen on a 45 angle. Out a recycle bin at the bottom, pour the corn at the top, as it slides down all the dust, tiny stones and chaff fall through the screen and corn slides to the bottom into the bin
