Making Charcoal with a Retort
Переглядів 2 тис.Рік тому
This video shows two ways of making charcoal; (1) using a burn barrel over an open fire and (2) a charcoal retort, which is a very efficient way of making charcoal. A retort burns the gas released from the wood to heat the wood as it is being turned to charcoal and thus requires little fuel and contains no external fire.

    OK yes i agree this gas generators will predust wood gas. & as I have seen one built On Gridlessness & wheced it's very firs firing IT immediate reminded me of Something I discover in 1962. It is this often the Gas from a wood. result in faller because of the missing link. That i discovered back then when addressed produces far moor gas & run time . The charcoal colom Missing in all woods generators of today. if you whach the construction & start up of the Gridlessness . Build we see from the get go Coleus amount of gas & the production of water that was separated out from the smock soaking the filter hosing & filling the filter cavity with a Coleus's amount of water. cries of chaos Ensues as they find & wonder what they have don wrong, But in reality the problem is the water in the filter chamber & how To Address it. WE l in this design it i possible to fit a carol colom before the gas enters the filter colom & let the damp, gas in to the charcoal colom as it is pull up the colon it barns of oxygen with in the smock & Exists to the filter & then to the flair enrich in hydrogen in short it's hadron carbons subtidal for running gen set's to charge battery banks.

    My wife and I were literally a day from ordering one of these when we saw the Gridlessness YT channel got one so we decided to wait and see how it worked for them. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked well for them for some reason and they're very smart and industrious. I don't see many real videos of people using gasifiers to power generators. Lots of talk, lots of it can, lots of it should, but very few videos of it actually working. Your video is much needed for people like to me to see how it really works, but unfortunately you had far too many cuts and edits. I want to see the entire thing from start to finish to see what the process takes. I suspect that while it's possible to run a generator with your gasifier, that it's not actually feasible or easy. I would like you to prove me wrong. And that T-valve needs to be replaced by something that introduces air automatically because that seems to be a big issue, at least from watching the Gridlessness YT channel's attempt to use your gasifier.
