EWB Challenge 2011 - Woodgas/Gasifier Stove

[henchman99942]

This is not a gasifier. This is a wood stove.

A gasifier heats wood (or coal) in the absence of oxygen. Gases are given off from the wood in destructive distillation.

Google search: "wiki coal gas"

What you have is a wood burning stove

Youtube search: MAKING BIOCHAR: with Peter Hirst of New England Biochar

And you will see someone who made an actual gasifier.

you could have let it burn, it would have burn the biochard and you would have been left with just ashes...

It seems to be a very efficient stove, and you could have also fed more fuel wood, cow dong cake, rice husks, etc to keep it going. what if you had put in a candle? the wax would have made it burn hotter and longer right? have you guys tried it with a duraflame? to see what happens? have you guys used saw dust? or starbucks used coffee grounds?
