A short video on how to burn organic material, such as coffee grounds, pinecones, olive pits, and cherry seeds. You can burn these in a gasifier stove for free energy!

  • 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

    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.

  • @oskenso

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

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