Il existe de nombreuses sortes de tarières, mais les plus courantes sont la tarière à godet et la tarière à vis. La tarière à godet normale est un cylindre métallique d'environ 16 cm de longueur et de 8 à 10 cm de diamètre. À l'extrémité inférieure, elle a un bord tranchant, qui lui permet de traverser très facilement la plupart des sols. Les tarières à godet sont presque toujours munies d'une tige coulissante et d'un manche qui permettent de prélever des échantillons à de plus grandes profondeurs, généralement jusqu'à 1,1 m. Un échantillon prélevé à la tarière à godet est légèrement perturbé, mais il est acceptable pour la plupart des usages et il est d'un volume suffisant pour d'ultérieures analyses de laboratoire. 1, record 1, French, - tari%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20godet

Densified Pellet Technology. Pellets are dried ground wood or other biomass waste compressed into small cylinders about 6 mm(1/4 in.) in diameter and 25 mm(1 in.) long. The pressure and heat created during their production binds the pellets together without the need for additives. Pellet-burning appliances include a hopper to hold at least 20 kg of fuel and a screw auger to move the pellets from the hopper into the combustion chamber. Pellets usually burn cleanly because they are fed to the combustion chamber at a controlled rate and are matched with the right amount of combustion air. These appliances are generally able to operate at lower emission levels than natural firewood appliances. 2, record 3, English, - densified%20pellet

Research is under way to develop an automatic or self-fueling wood furnace. This system would burn either wood chips, sawdust or densified wood pellets of uniform size. Similar to automatic coal-burning systems, these automatic wood furnaces would draw wood fuel from a storage bin through a motorized fuel auger. A control system would adjust the amount of fuel according to the heating demands of the home. It would require little operating maintenance beyond periodic ash removal and filling of the fuel storage bin. 1, record 4, English, - automatic%20wood%20furnace
