Ive been watching wood gasifier videos for 13 years , there isn't a woodgas video on UA-cam that i havent seen at least 5 times😂😂, Ive watched parts 1,2,3 of your build, the simplicity and detail, plus dimensions, have finally given me the confidence to actually attempt a build, I really appreciate that.
Not only were you successful, you built the thing hell bent for stout. Your fabrication skills are impressive, stainless steel is a real bear to work with. Very nice work!
Thankyou, I appreciate it. I figured if I was going to spend the time and money on it, it might as well last awhile. It was a fun project, but can already think of a couple things I would add at some point. Take care
im so impressed by your work . i tried building a fema design about 8 yrs ago . it was harder than i thought . had some air leaks and never got a flame . congrats to you
Thankyou. I appreciate that. Yes was much harder than I expected also. The builders Bible gives you the correct sizing for air to charcoal ratios, which is really all you need . The rest you can kind of use your imagination. Take care
Really enjoy watching your build , your design helped me on figuring out how to run a car witch was my goal . Nice weld , must be in the tradesman like myself.
Nice! I believe you would be a neighbor I would be happy to live next to. There might then be competing syngas generator projects, or perhaps a local power island project. Too much fun, really.
@@toddreuschel I worked as a power engineer in Canada on a startup combined syngas generator and oxidizer project with a triple pass fire tube boiler in the mix to help heat the university campus. I was prepped on our farm to start up a gasifier boiler to heat the big shop but that is now owned by someone else and we are currently in sunny Mexico on a boat. Life changes...
@@jimcalver-oj4xf Wow , that’s awesome, sounds a little bit above my brain power, but I really enjoyed learning with this Gasifier. I would love to produce the reactor part, and sell it. I’m thinking there would be a pretty good market for it? Enjoy Mexico on the boat. Remember Jesus
Amazing work. You reckon a Range Rover Defender from the 90s could hypothetically have it's gas engine replaced by a wood gasifier? Researching for prep work
I would definitely think it would. The older the better without all that computer stuff. My gasifier is rated to run up to a 1000cc engine, but it actually ran my 5.0 L Tahoe . I have a video on that , you can check out if you want. I would upscale my gasifier thou , to run my Tahoe better. I have dimensions for a 5.0L gasifier.
Yes, it seems to work well, I was also able to start my Tahoe with it recently, which will also be on a video in a couple of days. I made this myself, maybe at some point , I will sell the inside burn unit.
The only thing I find very informative was Wood Gasifier builders Bible. There is some good information in it, but I think he built it a little more complex than it needs to be. I used the formula for sizing of the air to charcoal ratios. Other than that I just used my imagination to make the build as simplistic as possible.
I’m not sure, but it does run my 5.3 L Tahoe. You would need a bigger hopper for 5 to 6 hours. You could weld another 30 gallon barrel on top of the other one. That would last awhile.
The woodgasifier was used in World War II when they ran out of gasoline they would use a woodgasifier instead and yes, both them to their cars and the cars would run on this.
You need to push out/exhaust any air in the system before the actual gas comes through. This prevents... 1: Back pressure obstructing the flow and .. 2: Residual oxygen mixing with the hydrogen and methane inside the heating chamber; which may result in an explosion. When done properly, it is extremely reliable technology. It's how people heated their homes, cooked their food and ran their cars during the Blitz.

Thankyou very much, that really makes my day. If you you any questions please feel free to ask. God bless your build.
@@toddreuschelthe only thing I could possibly ask of you is to please give us more.
I will be making a few more videos soon. It will be about the vacuum blower motor,and how I made it, along with some electrical.
Not only were you successful, you built the thing hell bent for stout.
Your fabrication skills are impressive, stainless steel is a real bear to work with.
Very nice work!

Congrats! Gasifiers are very fun and handy to have.
Thankyou
Excellent job, nice to see some craftsmanship.
Thank you very much!

Yes, I think that would be nice to have someone with the same interests. Do you have a running Gasifier?

Excellently Done And Video Recorded.
EveryThing Was Explained In Detail
Why It Was Done.
Thank You Very Much
Continue The Good Work
Thankyou, appreciate it.
Dude, serious gasifier envy!!!
Thanks, appreciate it.
Great work! It really looks like you've simplified the build process.
Thankyou, that was my goal anyway
Amazing craftsmanship!
Thanks, appreciated
Enjoyed that, thanks! Don't worry about your audience's underwhelment at the lighting, I can assure you you tube views were quite excited 😂
Thankyou, I hope so
Very well done !
Have you noticed yet.the instant gasifiers called 'drizzlers' developed recently by some netherlands and german guys !?*
Thanks, I appreciate that. I haven’t heard of the drizzlers, thanks , I’ll have to check it out
Nice job. I was curious about where you got the plans for that design. Thanks for the show. Joe
No problem 👍
I got the sizing for the hearth from Ben Petersons book, but the rest is my design.

Ow my this build is sick 😊
Thanks, appreciate that
It nice working with stainless steel.
It sure is!
nice job!!
Thanks!
Great setup and looks like a Professional jobt. I'd pay you to do one for me. 😁👍
I would consider that
Good design and execution. Where did you get the big SS swedge?
I’m sorry, not sure what you’re referring to.
That's not only effecient, a great survival unit, please tell, where can I get this? And thanks again for the vid!
Yes, it seems to work well, I was also able to start my Tahoe with it recently, which will also be on a video in a couple of days.
I made this myself, maybe at some point , I will sell the inside burn unit.
I just made a part 2 with dimensions
Did you se any ready available plans or did you come up with your own design?
The only thing I find very informative was Wood Gasifier builders Bible. There is some good information in it, but I think he built it a little more complex than it needs to be. I used the formula for sizing of the air to charcoal ratios. Other than that I just used my imagination to make the build as simplistic as possible.
I am looking for proven plans for a wood chip gasifier. The material is like course sawdust.
Not sure if mine would work with that, but I could give it a try .
well done hope I can one for me
Thanks, let me know if you have any problems
Were did you get the curved bell
Part 2 will show you. It’s just a ss water reducer.
Can we run a 30kva gas generator on it for 5 to 6 hours
I’m not sure, but it does run my 5.3 L Tahoe. You would need a bigger hopper for 5 to 6 hours. You could weld another 30 gallon barrel on top of the other one. That would last awhile.
How much horsepower engine are you running?

You can do it too, there’s really not that much to it.
Muinto bom 👍
OK. you let some gas go into the atmosphere. What purpose does it serve? Can you bolt it to a car? Use it in a camper ? WTF

No step-by-step then ?... Just clips !?!...
Part 2 and 3 have blue prints
