And there's another thing! What I cannot understand among all these wood gas enthusiasts is why nobody has tried turning the stuff into gasoline! Its actually not that difficult. The Fischer - Tropsch process need a pressure of around 5 atmospheres (car tyre pressure plus a bit), and a temperature of 300 degrees centigrade. As feedstock it needs carbon monoxide which is what woodgas is mostly composed of. Discuss please
Simply not feasible, cost-effective or efficient for the common man. The Fischer-Tropsch reactors are industrial application level stuff in order to be efficient. There is so much more to it than what you described, anything can be simple like that on paper. Search up some real examples of reactors and you can see just how complex the systems are. ''It's actually not that difficult.'' Every extra step is more cost, time and less efficiency. A wood/char gasifier's output gas is already approximately 20% carbon monoxide, 20% hydrogen and a few percent methane. That's already everything needed to support an internal combustion engine, and an engine already doubles as a vacuum pump to run the gasifier at high temperature. I have personally read the discussions on various gasifier boards about processing wood gas into gasoline, ethanol, methanol, dimethyl ether, biodiesel and other hydrocarbons. It always ends in the same conclusions of it not being feasible for multiple reasons. Everything happens for a reason, and the reasons for gasifier enthusiasts not building Fischer-Tropsch reactors are clear. Research, design, prototype and refine a gasifier first. Then consider if you want to make the process *less* efficient. Sorry if I sound harsh with this, it's because I see this sentiment too much from people who have not done enough research or don't have experience in the field.
Her in Philippines gasifier is not applied because lack of knowledge thank you for video but if give further and more elaborate video or design to make me easeir to make is much I appreciated and thankfully and can use in future business and life much easier economical and productive purposess waiting for respond in what do ever time past you can read in replied or nothing thanks with heart willming god bless
This video happens me a lot in my semester exam also increase in my knowledge level....thank u very much
Very nice documentary :^) Thanks, I will try to make one.
Good program next time could u show in depth the gasafier . Thank u.
I am Concerned can the gas produce flames if it is not cleaned
Seeking gasifier for MSW. Teri help would be needed.

Is this not back to square 1 by deforestation.
Thank you
