i am go to git come out here for the fair for wold the earth fair
help you git ever than call me 8504606424
ps thank you for killing the beast of petroleum
you are your hero i love you. sit look my back yard look at water crying we can't believe that the waters can catch fire... $1,000,000 beach fount is now $000 there on pares on the sea that we eat form
we are now solving ever than stop and we are waiting for the answer
Very nice setup. Do you know if waste motor oil or a combination of wood and oil, can be used for fuel? What formula did you use to figure out how big the air inlet and outlet should be?
so ive been watching all sorts of alt. energy videos and done a bit of reading but it seems every turn i make i see a vid. done by you (and assosiates) that trumps all the other videos availlable. exellent job on every project ive seen. id like to see the gasifier run but looks fantastic and well explained (dude yer a teacher at heart i know it to be true) im going off grid end of spring 2011 and am endlessly thankful to the good people like u experimenting and "giving" your findings away. tyvm
Doesn't that burn the paint off the blue tank? Love your idea I just found a well tank and want to build one just like yours. Any new ideas? Thanks in advance for your input.
Thats nearly identical to the old Onan that I have, might be a bit smaller.Did you have to modify the carburetor to make this work?It looks like such a simple setup the way you have it.I thank you for sharing this.Also if possible I'd like to see more detail on the filters, like how they are made, and what the filler is in the secondary filter.Thanks.
Hey there, hows your system been lately? Have you been using it much? I've been having problems with my setup and haven't been able to get mine to work. I was wondering if you could take a look at my latest video and comment on it.
Thank ya... and do you have problems with moisture in your gas after the water bucket/condenser? I was thinking it would help the moisture in the gas condense but can't it pick up moisture as well?
u should use hemp pellets/logs there really good have loads of energy
The hemp logs have an excellent calorific value of over 15 MJ/kg. This means that the heat generated during burning matches or exceeds that of well-seasoned timber.
well done catskill..please tell me would this work equally as good with a diesel engine or is it petrol only?..also when the gas is ready for firing do you shut the black fan off and somehow shut a valve off allowing the first bucket to take all the gas?..good man well presented
It does seal quite well. I recommend using a door that's the gasket type. Also use a graphite seal with good adhesive and keep excessive tar off the metal sealing surface.
Great system catskill... this is almost the exact project i am working on right now. what is the ratio your talking about with the fuel column to engine size? Also, because of cost reasons, I am using 2 small 5 horsepower engines and hooking them each up to two car alternators (bad idea?)
Did you experiment with other cooling methods for your woodgas? I suppose a simple automotive radiator wouldn't flow very well (and might clog), but maybe a big intercooler?
I particularly like the filtration method with the water/straw. Way to keep it simple.
How well matched is the size of your woodgas gen to the combustion engine?
On the truck I used a gas to water heat exchanger for cooling, this proved unnecessary and complicated. This design would be good for co-generation setups you could than take the heated water and heat hot water or your house. An intercooler with large passages and clean outs would work fine but in my case the 2 copper was free.
The engine is 25 cubic inches and the fire tube is 3.4 so its perfectly matched.

@mitty1979 Ha! That's a good joke. It was a joke right?....
This gasifier is a basic FEMA style gasifier. GEK uses a modified Imbert gasifier design. There are very few similarities between the two designs.

Did you plumb it from the air valve directly into the bonnet of the Genset carb?
Or did you remove the carb and go directly into the intake manifold?
Great little unit.Have you increased the size of the fuel hopper?
Nice work.

Does the stove door on the generator seal good enough? I sure like the stove door idea if it will not cause leaks. Great project.

catskill, do you actually fill the first plastic bucket with water or do you just use it to collect condensation?
benknefelkamp 3 years ago
Its filled with water and collects condensation.
