I work at a molding shop. All the wood goes through a gang rip saw before it gets to the molder. We probably have well over a ton of scraps each week. If I did this, I'd never have to pay for gas again. I could probably power my house on that wood.
Got to love Wayne Keith. Been following him for a bit and learned a lot. I haven't done much lately but plan to restart my project soon and post more videos. Thanks for posting this, it helps with motivation.
Brilliant!! Thank you so much for sharing! The world needs people like you so desperately! A modification to my truck is certainly somewhere in the near future.
@Nigel Cam : Perhaps a small percentage of the population can use this system. Another percentage can use solar power to charge their car batteries. Another percentage can use wind power. Another percentage can use sugar converted to ethanol.
@Dane Aulabaugh I don’t know where you are getting your information from. Solar panels are not made from fiber glass. They are made of nearly pure silicon. There are 2 types. There is the single crystal type and polycrystalline type. You don’t need petrol. An electric arc furnace is used to convert SiO2 to Si and SiC. The source of power is electricity which could come from hydro or anything else. Fusion power is not ready yet. Petrol and coal are finite because nature is not producing any new sources or at least not at a fast enough rate. That’s what finite means. Solar, hydro, wind are very large sources. There is so much joules there. Way more than humans can use and it keeps on coming.
My god, this is so elegant and beautiful. I mill lumber and cut down a lot of trees. The ugly and small wood becomes firewood. Then there are chips for the garden but they compost very slowly. To be able to burn the FREE debris remainder to make gas to run a generator to charge a bank of batteries for free electricity and then have biochar left over for the garden soil is like a miracle! I MUST do this!!! No waste stream whatsoever!!! It does not get more elegant than that!!@!
@marias man Yeah, It's a beautiful time to be alive! I was thinking also of using excess energy to pump water uphill to a very large storage tank and then either use it to irrigate or run a micro-hydro turbine to recover the electricity at a later time. So, I'll see your heat exchanger and raise you a gravity battery! LoL..
@@3Sphere youll be exerting more energy pumping it up hill then gaining when you drain it down hill. But nice idea. For your wood ship issue. If you dont end up using gasification. Grow some mushrooms. For one it treats depression and anxiety if you grow the right ones. But two it eats the wood chips faster than anything else and they are worth a ton as well.
That right old man stick it to the oil companies face. I admire what you've done and it looks like a nice clean set up compared to others that I've seen.
Cool 🔥 definitely see how it could be useful for farmers and ranchers to have an alternative fuel source in the event of scarcity due to blockades or war
i like the idea, i am doing things a little different, i am using compressed natural gas on my vehicle and intend to build a biodigester to make some of my own then compress it into the cylinders for later use, keep prepping man, ur doing good things and teaching us all that we can be independent.
Now I understand the desire or even the "need!" for some people to have to have plans to be able to build anything, but for what it's worth, I watched the video, listened to him explain how it works, what each component does, how it's routed, and what a lot of it is made out of. I also watched the video and can clearly see the size and estimate lengths of almost everything taken from the scale of a common pickup truck, for the bits he didn't call out size for. Drums explain themselves as they only come on a handful of sizes. I am not being sarcastic, and I apologize to anyone if it comes off this way, I did not mean for that. I however AM encouraging people to do a little work for themselves, and discover some improvements they can make along the way as well as learn so much more. This is NOT rocket science it's operated on the very basic principles of thermodynamics. Now, if you are not that handy, and need to have the plans, if you absolutely must, I would be willing to help draft up some with materials, to get you very close to what he has on his rig, including a better pic chip computer controlled automatic fuel controller to keep your mixture dead on and the stock computer happy, and eliminate all the manual valves. The manual valves are very easy to operate and make though, and for the most part they would still be there, and could be make to have bypass manual control built in in the event of an electronic failure. However if a nuke is detonated kiss all those electronic anythings goodbye anyways LOL, it'd be se how long we can survive in our underground fallout shelters till we starve :p Cheers my friends, IC.
I been gasifying wood and animal waste and taking out the oils and running the oils into a stainless tube with aluminum the heat of the fire makes the trapped oils become gas and then becomes gasoline and diesel and another burnable gas which is methanol GREAT VID
excellent video and information. This info must be spread to many. My wind turbine shop is small, and off grid. for the heavier electrical tool, I need to run the generator. From what i have gathered around several videos, creating the wood gas is easy. It's the filtering that makes the best difference. The temp, cooling for dew temps, and the final extraction of the rest of the moisture means the difference of tar, and a dry efficient burn that has no tar buildup. That and regular cleaning of the radiator, or heat exchange system. That pretty much means a nice long travel through decent diameter pipes, and dryers. I'm betting that air filters have to be changed often as well. I still have questions like, " how big of a system do i need to run my 10KW genny for welding all day? ". Thanks very much. MUDDy
muddymuddymuddmann Believe It or Not? There is a document in FEMA that you can download it's a PDF about 90 some pages and it shows you how to build a simple downdraft gasifier out of commonly available materials. In there is a special chart that shows you diameters of your burn chamber for certain size displacement engines. I bet you didn't think there was anything the government did that was good right? Apparently, the professor at UC Davis made the tractor run off Woodsmoke.
Check out www.woodgasifierplans.com he has pretty in depth manual on building a high grade gasifier. Currently I seen today he is offering the book for free, it's usually 30-40 bucks. This fella Wayne even has a review in the book.
This is excellent. I'm a big fan of alternative energy - especially if it cuts out the big corporations from the picture. I'll be building and installing a solar water heater this summer. Would love to run the car on biofuel, too. Well done, Wayne.
I'm very interested in building a gasifier for my truck. my big question is how do I get around the computer controls on the modern truck to make it work?
Hello noelsingletary, Hey thanks for the post. I agree with you on most of the items, I could use a lot more education. You characterize the steel pretty good; actually at about at about 1400 degrees the steel will start scaling. If we bring the temperatures on up to apx 1800 degrees this is when the scales will be shedding. At about 2200 degrees would be where I would think the mild steel would start to melt. If we happen to have wrought we can go some higher. Thanks Wayne
NOPE. The carbon will eventually all return to form of CO2. May be too slow for you to see but it will happen inexorably. Why worry though? Global warming is a scam.
Hello Wayne, Thanks so much for your information on the Gasifier. I'm looking for information on rebuilding my chimney that my woodstove uses. i would like to reroute the exhaust into a line that could be used for Gasification. Would you know any one that has done this? Thanks again
I have gone to some of the forums and they have a lot of information there on the gasifiers but I wanted to get your opinion on something. How deep and how big around does my hearth need to be to run a 8 cylinder Chevy 350 engine? Also, how do you clean out the ashes from your gasifier without taking it apart?
that awesome , I'm looking at the water vacume thing at the moment , just a sealed hard container with one hose going to the vacume with it half full of water , have you seen the vapour come off it under vacume interesting now I just got to see if its flammable , I wonder if your wood fire would have enough vacume to suck it off and burn it
Excellent presentation! I have just started investigating this concept and was wondering if using charcoal would be more efficient or would it be the same? I am not sure if the compactness of carrying charcoal vs a cord of wood in the truck would have an advantage not only by volume and weight but also by the BTU output. Best regards
What do you mean when the temperature gets down to the dew point? Besides the moisture in the wood some of that water is coming from the combustion itself you know carbon dioxide CO2 and water H20 are the products. Good idea to use the ashes as fertilizer no waste at all.
Hey Wayne I was wondering if I could use my air conditioning in my chevy I have to condense the moisture from the syngas? I know it won't help with horse power but it will make the gasifier less bulky.I'm trying to design a low profile gasifier with 6 small burn chambers,run the truck on wood pellets and cool the gas with my AC.
I would like to see a good look at how your wood "chunker" works at about 1:18 into your video. I have a good guess but I would rather have a good idea. Thanks!
In relation to mknytb's question. Mr Keith mentions that the 3 main gasses are hydrogen carbon monoxide an methane all three are compressable. However you mention for home use, depending on where you live, there are all sorts of burocratic red tape to cut through. Is it worth the effort to compress.
I wonder how much efficiency loss there would be using a heat exchanger hooked to the air conditioner compressor. This could cool the gass much colder to get more water out using much smaller parts.
How long does it take to pull away from a cold start? If you get up in the morning and want to drive to work, how long until you can pull out of your drive way? Thanks.
I Like to see a video on how you made the breather air box with mixing values ... does anyone know if there someone that show how to construct a breather air box with electronic control
Dumping ash can be done easy and as quick as a few seconds or as long as a few minutes. I will film and post the quick version. @ waynekeith01 Your internal dominions will depend on what design, FEMA, imbert, GEK, LaRosa, Keith ect. Some use the principals of superficial velocity to archive the pyrolysis distillation and others may chose different routes . The key is to maintain near metal melting temperatures in the core of the reactor.
i don't think it's a diesel, in the US trucks run on gasoline and only gasoline can be run on CO. Diesels on the other hand can be run on Methane or Bio-gas.
When running on woodgas, the AFR gauge barely registers the fuel ratio but it's enough to help you dial in the mixture. If you wanted to be more accurate you could get the Lambda readings.
Very cool but it's too bad that it takes up space in the bed and blocks the rear view. I wonder if a small gas generator could fit under the hood with a smaller engine that's optimized to run on wood gas.
there are very few videos on it, but you can connect woodgas to the intake of an air compressor (usually where an air filter is mounted) to store the fuel
You cannot store hydrogen gas presurized. Especially with the other gasses emitted. They will separate and theres a chance of air entering the system and becoming explosive.
What if you took this system and supplied a boiler with it? Maybe create a system like Doble had in his cars back in the 20's. Wood powered steam engine with 1000ft/lb of torque. You could create an ECU that would run it all for you. That would be the ultimate apocalypse vehicle. Include a wood chipper in line with the hopper, so you could just feed it dead fall. You could do the same and run a generator with it. I wonder if that would be more powerful than a gas engine running on wood gas.
This was the best info on wood gas I can find. Love it. The solution to energy problem has been around for decades.
Always has been. We never got the chance to see steem turbine train locomotive but they were very very efficient before they got cancelled.
@@MarquisDeSang good point, sad to say but the powers that shouldnt be, don't want anything efficient
This aged incredibly well
I work at a molding shop. All the wood goes through a gang rip saw before it gets to the molder. We probably have well over a ton of scraps each week. If I did this, I'd never have to pay for gas again. I could probably power my house on that wood.
At over 5 dollars a gallon and unlimited free wood or basically free this is looking mighty nice.
I love the capability to run either wood gas or gasoline, and the fuel shift on the fly.
Good
Lots of cars and utes in Australia do the same with natural gas and gasoline.
Farmers always have been and always will be the smartest, most resourceful people.

Wood gas is carbon NEGATIVE, not carbon neutral! The biochar is more stable carbon than the rotting tree would be.

Who knew in 2022 gas is about to go through the roof so you will probably see tons of people doing this.
Yep
Can i store that gas in a cooking gas can and mont it to the vehicle?
No. You cant store each of the gasses and keep them mixed. Hydrogen also is very volatile.
I see he using a air to fuel gauge ..the question is what the air ratio 1:1 for gasifier.. i though these wide band gauges read 14:1 of so?
When running on woodgas, the AFR gauge barely registers the fuel ratio but it's enough to help you dial in the mixture.
If you wanted to be more accurate you could get the Lambda readings.
1:56 2,000.0 °F ~ 1,100 °C
3,000.0 °F ~ 1,600 °C
you are my hero
Very cool but it's too bad that it takes up space in the bed and blocks the rear view.
I wonder if a small gas generator could fit under the hood with a smaller engine that's optimized to run on wood gas.
probably easier to just use the wing mirrors
That's unlikely. The size of a the wood gasifier is just a necessary part of the gasification process.
Great 👍
these are the kinda men we need lol
A rare breed now
I'm thinking last night how take smoke gas and put in propane tank or condensed .this very good idea
there are very few videos on it, but you can connect woodgas to the intake of an air compressor (usually where an air filter is mounted) to store the fuel
You cannot store hydrogen gas presurized. Especially with the other gasses emitted.
They will separate and theres a chance of air entering the system and becoming explosive.
No cobalt mining or oil warring required!
What if you took this system and supplied a boiler with it? Maybe create a system like Doble had in his cars back in the 20's. Wood powered steam engine with 1000ft/lb of torque.
