Burning Organic Material with a Gasifier Stove

[stap0510]

Does you know where you could get that heat exchanging plate?

The one you put between you frying pan and the wood gas stove?

Homeowner catches guy raking through his garbage:

"No I ain't looking for food in your trash can. Just stove fuel"

I'd love to see more of this!

The Cherry pit comments are misplaced. if you lookup brooksidepress and search on Cyanide and then Toxicity you'll see that basically a person can process 55mg of Cyanide per day via hepatic Rhodanese enzyme activity and 1000 cherry pits (2lbs fuel) would have 78mG cyanide. It would be hard to capture more than 2% of that breathing in fumes even if you treated the stove as a big bong and tried. You'd be dead from acute smoke inhalation long before the cyanide could give you a light headache

I was a machined piece, done by a Stanford Student and is not in production. These are basic Woodgas stoves from woodgas.com adapted to use a variable speed solar-recharged circuit for fine control.

You showed a heat transfer pad with the gassifier stove, which you said was developed by Deref (sp?) & Stanford. You had one, so I'm assuming you know where to get them.---How?

& What is the brand name/company of the gassifier stove you were using?

Thanks

It is very dangerous to burn cherry seeds (pits)! They contain cyanogenic glycosides (cyanide) and it is released when the pits are burned. You should never burn cherry, peach, apricot or apple seeds. Even outside, where air circulates, you could possibly get a dangerous dose of cyanide by breathing these fumes!

@RonRay No it's not. Do your research!!

I did. I wouldn't have made the comment if I had not. (Do yours!)

@oskenso

OK... I see that people DO use them for fuel. This is a surprise to me!

However, cherry pits and bark contain cyanogenic glycosides which metabolize into cyanide (as do peach, apricot and some other seeds). It is for that reason I would think them unsafe... It must be the glycosides burning without actually chemically metabolizing... Peach seeds are harmful if ground into a dust and breathed because of cyanide, as are some shells.

Where do you get the "heat exchanger"? Is there any retail store online/offline for that?

Coffee grounds can be burned if you compress them into pellets.

[Axbent]

where do i get this stove, or plans for construction?

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

ahhhhh! why do we use electricity! hook that bizatch up to a stirling engine! or even use that stiring engine to generate the elctricity

excellent *****

Lovely video, would have liked to see energy rating of each fuel tested as well. Your finned plate is a better alternative to pot skirts. Five stars
