DIY Inside and Out Wood Gasifier
did it work on portable or inverter generator?
Portable,3500 kw
I think the 2 hours rest makes charcoal build up insiden the gasifier, that's make the blue flame
Well done bud. I gotta build one.
Thanks, yeah it’s pretty interesting stuff.
Thank you very much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯
Always welcome

Agregar Gotas de agua al gasificador desde donde se enciende 1 o 2 gotas cada 3segundos y obtendras mejor resultado en tu llama , lograras agregar a esa mezcla hidrógeno obtenido del agua
Thanks for the helpful hints, appreciate that
Nice! I believe you would be a neighbor I would be happy to live next to. There might then be competing syngas generator projects, or perhaps a local power island project. Too much fun, really.
Yes, I think that would be nice to have someone with the same interests. Do you have a running Gasifier?
@@toddreuschel I worked as a power engineer in Canada on a startup combined syngas generator and oxidizer project with a triple pass fire tube boiler in the mix to help heat the university campus. I was prepped on our farm to start up a gasifier boiler to heat the big shop but that is now owned by someone else and we are currently in sunny Mexico on a boat. Life changes...
@@jimcalver-oj4xf Wow , that’s awesome, sounds a little bit above my brain power, but I really enjoyed learning with this Gasifier. I would love to produce the reactor part, and sell it. I’m thinking there would be a pretty good market for it? Enjoy Mexico on the boat. Remember Jesus
If you got it going make another video..lol
Yes i did, its called Finally running my generator. I started my Tahoe with it too which is also in my videos. Thanks for checking it out
That’s a great looking gasifier! I just love the rumbling sound it makes
Thankyou appreciate that, it’s is an interesting machine. Feel free to check out my other videos on how to build it.
Thank you for your well explained videos
You are welcome!thanks
Do you think you will try to build one my friend?
Good work Also watch my gasification plant
Thanks , will do.
Wow, industrial size. What are you burning in that?
Enjoyed that, thanks! Don't worry about your audience's underwhelment at the lighting, I can assure you you tube views were quite excited 😂
Thankyou, I hope so
I wanna build one little bigger to be installed on my boat to power my generator. Could you spare the plans ?
I have blueprints that will show you how. Just watch my video , part 1,2, and 3 of “ my woodgasifier it works and how to build it.”
how to release the char from the bottom?
I have a 4” NPT pipe cap on the bottom. I show how to build it on my video, Part 1,2, and 3.
@@toddreuschel is it continuously coming out from the bottom or manually after the process done?
@@diffabrmdya2896 empty it when it’s shut down
@@toddreuschel how can i make it continuosly or automatically release the char?
@@diffabrmdya2896 After running mine quite a few times I realized I barely had any char . I could probably run 10 loads thru mine and I might have 3 cups of char if that.
NICE GASIFIER.
Thanks, appreciate it
START ENGINE ON GASOLINE....SLOWLY....USE....VALVES TO SWITCH TO WOOD GAS. NEED AIR VALVE AND WOOD GAS VALVE AT ENGINE, LISTEN TO RUNNING ENGINE. IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT IT NEEDS. MOVE VERY SLOWLY ON SWITCH OVER. NO GASOLINE LEAVE CHOKE OPEN. CHOKE IS GASOLINE START ONLY. TAPE OVER OTHER AIR FILTER HOLES. USE AIR VALVE FOR GASOLINE TOO.. ITS TRICKY BE PATENT.
I am interested in building of same equipment . Could you share the plans ?
Yes, I’ve made the videos. Look at part 1, 2, and 3 of “My wood Gasifier, it works, how to build it.”
The blue flame is perfect for cooking
Yes it is
What does that gasifier cost
The reactor inside was made of stainless steel so that’s pretty expensive now, but you could make it out of regular steel. I probably have at least $1200 invested in it. If you watch my video, part 1,2,and 3 of “My wood Gasifier, It works, How to build it. It will show you how I put it together with blueprints
From experience the reduction zone should be at least 200mm or more my straightefeid gasifier makes a super smal amount of tar , it's 250mm long en 140mm in diameter in my 2 stage gasifier en the raw gas doesn't have any tar !
Sounds awesome. Do you have any videos of that?
You should be charging for this lol
lol, thanks
The bluer the better, good job!
Thanks
Reducing the voltage to 6V is essentially reducing the speed of your motor by half. Maybe you were pulling too fast at 12V for the filter, your combustion zone or for both.
Yes, thanks, I was contemplating the same.
I think whit the right modifications to the gasifier like heat recouberation for the air supply en pre drying inside the gasifier one can get a blue flame whitout filter! Even whit low grade woodchips as fuel, the biggest difference I found was modifying the air nozzles! ( look for the twin fire en dubble fire gasifier design )from experience filter bags just clog up in a few hours if not minutes 😅
Thankyou, very interesting, I’ll take a look into that
Whit some modification on the air supply you can run on wood chips you can make them whit sticks en twigs not high quality blocks 😅this takes Les effort to because the chopper machine is doing Al the horribly dangerous work inside it 😊
Good thought. Do you think the burn time would last very long if it were in wood chip form?
@@toddreuschel it's al about getting a low tar flame in the end, no price is to high if you don't have to deal whit tar , wood chips require different air nozzles to penetrate dieper in the glow bed (different critical velocity) but the kw/kg is the same , however the bulk density is lower so a bigger hopper is required per hour of run time, I would Star whit adding a first stage nozzle pointing down around 10/15cm above the air belt nozzles in the middle of the throat this way you get a more as almost no tar gas can get through the middle at low en moderate gasifier load , look for (dubble fire gasifier design) to get the picture
I have tried operating on Reeds the density of which is close to that of wood chips. The result was amazing, but the reaction quickly ends due to the lack of density. Therefore, I suggest that the chips be compressed mechanically so that the operating speed is sufficient. @toddreuschel
@@mohammedazeez2143 one option is you add a other one of those 200l tanks as a Hopper you can run for day's that way, 100l is about 25kg or around 25kw/h electric
Great!!!
Thanks
Great job, in fact excellent!
Thank you very much!
Now you can run an engine on this! This is awesome result! If you soak a part of your woodchips aka filter media with canola oil it will remove even more tar compounds and impurities. Use it on a top or middle layer. Nevertheless, this is a fully working system.
Thankyou, I’ll give canola oil a try
You're doing a great fine tuning 👍
Thanks, little by little I guess.
It's just a fairy tale. Thank you. Continue.
Gods real my friend
Were did you get the curved bell
Part 2 will show you. It’s just a ss water reducer.
Hello. I stopped watching porn films - I like your work. Thank you.
Thankyou and good, I’m glad , it’s not good for you and Jesus loves you
Amazing skills and awesome steel work!
Thanks
Ow my this build is sick 😊
Thanks, appreciate that
Excellent job!
Thank you very much!

Welcome!!
Thanks for the update mate
You’re welcome my friend !
Would milled housing from aluminium work just as well for DIY blower? Asking for a friend...
It depends, as long as the vacuum strength is relatively strong it should work. The woodgasifiers Bible calls out 9” of water column I believe.
It needs oxygen at inlet
"This whole process kinda stresses me out." Gave me a chuckle. That rumbling sounds like a resonant frequency similar to blowing over a bottle.
lol, yes it does
Anyone with a newer sealed wood burning stove has seen this gas in action. At ~ 451F (I measure at flue) the wood goes from yellow to a blue green plasma that forms about an inch above above the wood - this is the gasified wood. If you don't see this in your stove its burning too cold.
The wood gasifier may be a good replacement for solar Pv in winter time, as there’s not enough sun and heat of cooling the engine could heat up a building. Instead of running a car, such an engine could run a generator to load my batteries. Planning it now to get it ready for next winter.
Sounds good and probably a good idea. God bless.
Awesome work! Pine has a lot of tar and oils in it hence more orange flame, careful as it can clog up your genset. It would be very interesting to see your reactor running on charcoal! Charcoal is supposed to have the cleanest burn to give you a blue flame. Also adding a water drip to the grates will inject steam and produce more H2 as well. Would you be able to do a charcoal run and post your findings?
It is all about fuel/air mixture. As one of the comments below has already suggested you need another hole with the baffle (similar to a choke where you can control your mixture. Very nice output though! How did you execute the reactor area?
Thanks for the tips. Did you watch part 2 and 3 of my video? It has all the dimensions for my reactor
Ive been watching wood gasifier videos for 13 years , there isn't a woodgas video on UA-cam that i havent seen at least 5 times😂😂, Ive watched parts 1,2,3 of your build, the simplicity and detail, plus dimensions, have finally given me the confidence to actually attempt a build, I really appreciate that.
Thankyou very much, that really makes my day. If you you any questions please feel free to ask. God bless your build.
@@toddreuschelthe only thing I could possibly ask of you is to please give us more.
I will be making a few more videos soon. It will be about the vacuum blower motor,and how I made it, along with some electrical.
Congrats on a successful start. 2 things if I may. Injectors are dry firing, may want to disable them as well if you decide to run for a prolonged amounts of time and you need a better filter, if you look at the hose when you are accelerated it sucked a lot of moisture in, this is dangerous. Looking forward to your next videos!
Thanks for the help.
Awesome reactor, great workmanship! Your flame is too orange, you want it to be more blue. As for a filter, try wood chips soaked in canola oil it will remove more tar and create a much cleaner output.
Thanks for the tips!
I would have two separate hoses/pipes coming into the generator and one sucking in fresh air and one coming from the gasifier..... Have valves on these so that you can control the gas and air flow... Just work on getting the mixture just right...
Can we run a 30kva gas generator on it for 5 to 6 hours
I’m not sure, but it does run my 5.3 L Tahoe. You would need a bigger hopper for 5 to 6 hours. You could weld another 30 gallon barrel on top of the other one. That would last awhile.
How much horsepower engine are you running?
I am looking for proven plans for a wood chip gasifier. The material is like course sawdust.
Not sure if mine would work with that, but I could give it a try .
Great setup and looks like a Professional jobt. I'd pay you to do one for me. 😁👍
I would consider that
