Real Plans for a Simple Downdraft Wood Gas Generator

This is a link someone sent me. It is a blog and it seems to have good instructions for another gasifier.

This is a "how to" video on building a simple down draft biomass gasifier. I plan to eventually hook it up to an automobile and run on wood.

HOW AND WHERE DO U LIGHT IT

[johnblake91]

@Kate16398 light a piece of paper and stick it in the air hole. The remaining charcoal from the last burn ignites real easily.

Nice project, but those welds were terrible!

[TheJimmax]

Nice project but not really that simple and I like your welding its...artistic;)

[jerusalemasteroid]

thanks. that was cool. and don't worry, the difference between a good welder and a great welder is about 5,000 miles of bead. keep it up.

[RumbleTouchDroid]

fucking welding sucks bro. lol

[galegregory97comcast]

good job

[Terratracks]

Good attempt at making H2.

breathing co2 is ok? but co is bad?

[Bubblytubebob]

Great Video , don't worry about the welding connoisseurs as long as you got some to stick and plugged up the holes , thats all that matters for your first one. You can get fancy on the next one when you build it out of 316 stainless steel.

Had to laugh. My welds looked like that until 5 days ago. I am also self taught, that is until I watched a engineer teach welding on Youtube. I was using the Flux tip! No argon or co2 got to the welds making them all cold.

Nice project, but your video was as bad as the welds! Slow that shit down. i had to pause and play over and over again so i could even take in the info you were giving. I felt like a witness to a shooting, "officer, it all happened so fast! i can't recall a thing!"

How long does it take until you can light the gas???... I´m trying with corn cobs but i haven´t been able to light it.
