how is fuel and air ratio regulated? carb?

[vedbil]

Manual adjustment with a valve on the gas-mixer.

i wanna know how this stuff works. How did you guys learn? any publications out there?

I hear from the grapevine that, gasifers have been around for some time since before the great war because fuel was expensive back then so people had to look for other alternatives, Question: has anyone done any calculations to which woods produce the best/most gas and how much per/lb per/surface area?? I am a serious inventor interested in this technology!

[vedbil]

The guy at "gengas . se" is good at calculations of systems. There are tables avalible for dimensioning. Hard woods are the best to use.

If you look at the logo it reads FORDSON MAJOR ,FORDSON MAJOR DIESEL , logo has diesel right on the logo, with a large D in front of Fordson Major. This is a gas "petrol" tractor. As for the previous referring to them as red necks , They are a a lot smarter then you will ever be. At least they put forth an effort to accomplish something . They put forth thinking and work to run a tractor on wood, not gas or diesel. Wood gas is old technology that is making a comeback.

There is something about these wood gas users. They always have dirty hands and a grin from ear to ear. Great video thanks.

good job

how long can it run on one lode of wood?

[magna59]

The more i read on wood gas the more i understand it does not have to be wood, biomass gas would be a more relevant name, ie it could be compressed leaves, or dung, or straw, just somthing with a heavy carbon content. Diesel running sounds like a bit of a difficult one, 'cos you seam to need the initial spark,but it sounds like a small imput of diesel to get the reaction started, still running the engine on tick over diesel+gas, so a petrol unit may be easier.

cant manufacturers make tractors like this? why rags are all over and duck tape? lol.. but you guys are best... it will show smart people who's who..

this is brobably future tractor for world

wood gas is nasty when it comes to engines

[david880brown]

@yamahaman123 On most diesel engines the glow plug is only used foir cold starting, the heat produced by the compressio of the air/diesel mixture is high enough to ignite the mixture. However hotbulb engines such as the lanz bulldog hav a much lower compression, so the compression does not produce sufficient heat and therfore rely on a hot bulb to ignite the mixture.

@yamahaman123...

did you miss the "wood gas" part on that tractor?

it has a WOOD GAS SYSTEM, and wood gas in a diesel engine can be ignited ONLY:

1. injecting 20% of usual diesel fuel to ignite wood gas/air mix (dual-fuel)

2. INSERTING SPARK-PLUGS, decompressing,etc. SO... essentially now it's a gasoline engine. yes, forget the "D" on it!

and yes, i know a bit about how diesel works.

...now, do i need to ask you your own question back? although i think i know the answer...

[yamahaman123]

@bluemoondiadochi are you ignorant?

Diesel engines do NOT have spark plugs, they have glow plugs it relies on a constant hot element to ignite fuel rather then a spark

[bluemoondiadochi]

since it's a diesel engine with spark-plugs running on woodgas, my question is:

how much (%) is the loss of power compared to driving on diesel?
