New Gasifier Upstart.

This is my first video after a long time with no news.
But as you all can see, it not because i was sleeping.
I have been working long time on my Gasifier-Car. It is an old VW Transporter T4, 2,0 liter. 4 Cylinders Gasoline engine. I´m working on a 1,9 TDI engine that is convertet into gas, by replacing the Diesel nozzels with spark plugs.

I use the original Airfilter from VW Transporter type 4. It is cheap and big. Then i made a housing for it my self.

The engine in the car is a 2,0 liter petrol VW engine, with 4 cylinders

nice job

I think the direction in the (green) cooler is wrong. It should be "hot in" on the upper end / "cold out" on the lower end.

@heizung4me

Why do you wan´t to chance the flow direction ??

@servteqh

How to explain in my lousy english...? :-)) We should talk in german.

Warm gas ist lighter than cold. So the warm gas tries to go as fast as possible upwards. There is less time to give the energie into the air around. In nearly every heatexchanger you will find counterflow.

The next reason is the airflow while the car is on the road. Around the upper part will be more "wind".

Ohh

Your english in write, is much bettere then my German in writing.

i can see your point, but don´t worry my cooler is way to big. so it dosn´t matter what way the gas flows. But thanks for the tip my "Gas-Freund"

Nice work.

What material is used for the final filter to clean wood gas?

I saw that the diesel engine can run on wood gas, unbelievable

thank you

Shure....your cooler is nice and big. But i allways try to reach the max with the material i have. In your case it´s the same effort to let the gas flow in the "right" way. The result will be a little bit mor power because of the cooler gas. Intercooler for turbo-motors are made to do the same. Less temperatur = more oxygen per m³ = more power

Next week i start with my second gasifier. Look at my channel in roundabout 1 / 2 weeks. Your comments are welcome. :-))

Very clean setup you have there. Do you have many back fires? That is what scares me around the gasifiers. :)
