Hey Ben, Glad to see you back at it. I bought your gasifier bible a year or so ago. Hope to get it built this winter. One of the most intriguing parts of the book was the Waste Bot section. Look forward to following your work again!
Hey Ben, what you are doing here is really cool. Taking a gasifier and finding heaps of practical accessories to make it even more versatile. Not just a backup emergency energy source. With your double bottom hot tub, are you circulating hot gas or ignited gas?
Great video, I'm going to buy your book, looks like you've done a great job to make it simple for people like me. Just wondering with your design, how long one batch burns for and what size generator I could run ? Or generally how much gas 1 batch would generate ?
got the book couple days ago from amazon, been interested in gasafiers since i was younger. I really like that you go into the how it works, temp ranges that happen etc. its quite thourough on the build process anyone with even just ok fab skills, some tools could do it. ill be getting the parts to make it over the coming months. So far I have the 2 100lb propane tanks and the ceramic insulation. I'll probably be taking piks or video if the build process along the way. End goal is to power my older toyota pickup with it.
@@manikandanveenagamanikanda4329 yes it is, haven't you learn during the course of WW2 there was a shortage of gasoline and many trucks were designed to run on this type of fuel
Ben - Deanna and I are getting ready to start the offgrid modified Earthship and I am ordering your book. I'm hoping to dedicate an outside shelter out of aircrete to house the equipment and pump the gas into storage for 6.5 kw Onan generator, cooking stove and oven and small fireplace. Looking forward to studying your designs!
@@VictoryGasworks Mk, I enjoyed it. I have your gasifier Bible and just preorded the wastebot. Looking forward to the read and in the imaginary land of "some day" putting the knowledge to use😂
How long would the full gas bag run a Honda 2000 generator? I’m trying to compare that to gas or propane. How much energy is in there? Can it be compressed?
This gas cannot be safely compressed practically by a home person. Hydrogen will escape from the smallest gaps and easily reaches ignition temperatures at high pressures. The liquid stage at room temp pressure required for hydrogen is also prohibitively high. So, this background helps answer your question. The engine will very quickly go though the bag (maybe a few minutes for that size bag, like 5 or 7). The solution for almost any gassifier application in my opinion is to produce the gas when it is needed, but have buffers like this bag or a gasomoter for fuel exchanges.
Hello, I just bought the book! If someone can please answer these questions For how long will it run ? Can the gas be used on steam boiler ? Can it use wood powder from carpenters? Thanks
Are YOU, yourself, selling a built-up ready-to-use, long-life (stainless ???) gasifier ? I am finding trouble contacting any manufacturers (except in Finland) of "off-the-shelf", fine-tuned, long-life, ready-to-use, commercial quality, bug-free, Pryrolysis (sp ?) Gasifiers.
I am thinking about going back into production, but it all depends on the market demand. With the economies of the West faltering, it's a question mark right now.

@ Snow Andrews If you dont know about my company, I am one of the few leading companies in the US that build small scale gasifier systems. My reactor cores are 1/4 wall cast SS. The reason you may not be finding full SS systems is; You dont want to go full SS in a gasifier, SS retains heat and once the gas has left the reactor we want to get rid of the heat to drop its moisture. SS has to be very carefully engineered in the reactor as well. It will be subject to over stress as it will grow as it is heated. This expansion will create stress on the steel if it can not dissipate that growth and lead to stress failures. The metals used beyond the reactor are not subject to oxidization as the gas is void of oxygen. If the unit is shut down for a period of time or stored you would simply rinse it out. I also use an industrial coating internally beyond the reactor that nearly indestructible. This keeps cost down and in market price point reach. Full SS for my machines more than quadrupedal the cost. I could certainly build a full SS version. But cost would be very high with longer lead time. I offer a fully automated (turnkey) 5 kW power station for $10,500.00 It features a Honda GX 630 V twin engine with a 13 kW peak output generator head. This will produce 36 kW/ hours pr hopper fill. It is fully automatic other than initiating modes from its touch screen interface. Im pretty much the only manufacture at that level in this scale of machine in the world.

I am developing design considerations , one thing I would avoid is the cooling tubes design. I can see this would be a problem with extended use. When I do build my system any such cooling tubes will have a header plate to remove to clean out the inside.

Just purchased your book last week. Been reading it. Hope to start building a gasifer in the next few months.
Awesome!
Ben…this needs so many more views than 23k
Yes! 🎉❤ I am extremely excited to dive into the book & get into these projects!
Hey Ben got your book and am going to build one of your Gasifers . And really like the looks of the one in the video.
Hey Ben, what you are doing here is really cool. Taking a gasifier and finding heaps of practical accessories to make it even more versatile. Not just a backup emergency energy source. With your double bottom hot tub, are you circulating hot gas or ignited gas?
I had it set up to recycle the hot gas, not burn it, but you have to be close to the machine to get the heat.
Great video, I'm going to buy your book, looks like you've done a great job to make it simple for people like me. Just wondering with your design, how long one batch burns for and what size generator I could run ? Or generally how much gas 1 batch would generate ?

I just ordered a book myself, I’m hoping to store the gas in some kind of container to run a small truck on, hopefully it will work
Really truck run this wooden gas?

But at what temperature? Since it makes a difference.
Can you provide a link on where to get such a bag please?
Great stuff.
Hey where did you buy the bag and is it aviliabke in europe?
How long does the 5ft2 of gas last? Persay in a suitcase gen set?
Depends on load. Dollar for dollar I recommend getting batteries instead, but since people ask about this, I thought it would be a fun video.

My concept will be fed by pellets and ignited on demand. I have a device (to to expensive) that grinds scrap wood and process it into pellets.
How do you remove tar from the plastic bag?
I want to buy the book. As I live in Slovakia (Europe) we use metric system. My question is: Is there a version with metric measures?

Need to redo this video as we go into the new world
Just ordered my book. I have a car that im taking to a scrap yard. What should i pull out of it so i can use for the build?
Hello, I just bought the book!
If someone can please answer these questions
For how long will it run ?
Can the gas be used on steam boiler ?
Can it use wood powder from carpenters?
Thanks
Now equipment to reduce volume in liquid or compressed filtered gas that can feed equipment based on sewages.
