Running your generator on Wood Gas !

This video describes the process of running a generator on wood gas. Wood gasifier referenced is our own V3 wood gasifier, but the concepts described will work on any wood gasifier. It is important to note the differences between heating quality wood gas and engine quality wood gas. DO NOT use heating quality wood gas to run an engine!

Here from Gridleness. Great video.

Same

Is there a place to order the kit?
I have a welder and time so if it's affordable we'd be interested.

[@a.b.k1983]

Can’t afford your book right meow. Awesome rig!

[@miklosz1470]

How much does the phage production unit cost?
Can I buy it in parts? Just the plan with drawings and dimensions? I would like the prices delivered to Hungary. Sorry, I only speak Hungarian, I used a translation program.

Great Video. Thanks. I am curious to know if your system could be scaled to 80kw?

[@steveoffgrid485]

Yes, the design could be scaled up, but you could also run multiple units in a 'teamed' environment.

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.

[@steveoffgrid485]

See the video reference at the end by a customer in Poland. They show the complete process from flare to switchover to manual start on the generator,

Glad I found your channel! Subscribed and all in to learning this from you and your workshops, thank you 🙏 can we burn biochar made from wood in the gasifier?

[@kangle2938]

Biochar can be converted to so called coal gas, but it requires an industrial facility, very hot coal is reacted with steam to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas which can be burnt in engines

[@sandasturner9529]

​@@kangle2938 good information!!!!

[@ellooku]

I am thinking, is it possible to power two generators at a time?

[@steveoffgrid485]

Yes, this would be possible

[@FreeAsABirdSydneyAustralia]

How much wood 🪵 would you have to burn to run the 12kw generator at full power ?

[@steveoffgrid485]

rule of thumb is 2.5lbs of fuel per KW/h

[@llo-4004]

Nice

[@mattwernecke2342]

Can we purchase one?
