    Great video. Some suggestions I have would be to create a burn chamber to put the pyrolysis chamber inside of. Lining the burn chamber with insulation will keep the reaction hot and greatly reduce the amount of energy needed to keep the reaction going. I would also suggest cutting your copper pipe in half and hooking the two pieces up in parallel. This will allow double the gas flow and helps reduce pressure and any bottlenecks. You can greatly increase the condenser cooling by placing it in water. Also the noncondensing gas will probably be the bulk of the energy being produced so being able to reuse it would greatly affect efficiency.

    REALLY nice design, although your wiring to the nichrome heater wire scare me.
    The “tornado” cone for the first waste removal is brilliant, better than any others I’ve seen. Most people don’t even try to deal with the black goo.
    In my opinion you could cool the copper coils adequately with a simple water glass. Anything you want to condense will do so at liquid water temperature.
    I’d use indirect solar for heating, by recycling large plant lignin/cellulose via oxidation. Trees grow from sunlight, and burning them releases that energy. Look up how much heat energy is required for water to change phase from liquid to gas and you’ll be surprised.
    Really an impressive design/build. Well done!

    It would be interesting to see if running the fans downward would be useful. Move the now heating air over the lower cooler copper and spread the thermal load over more of the copper coil.

    To easily disconnect the tank from the system...remove the coupler and put in a simple union (not a di-electric). I use unions at work all the time on a steam system operating at approx 80psi. This will make your disconnects easier. Just remember to keep the faces clean and facing with the flow of gases.

  • @josephgreene630
    @josephgreene630 3 роки тому +3

    Can you explain how the heat is getting to the biomass?
    The wire is insulated from the tank, so the heat is rising from the exposed wire, but is the junction where your connection is heating up also?
    Would love a followup video.

    • @nagpurparisar

      Thnks a lot ! I already try and the wire melt too easily by getting exposed to all chemicals getting out of the wood probably. I don't working on this project for a long time now , the final goal is to make it solar powwered with any king of focused lens or mirror.

  • @dantronics1682
    @dantronics1682 4 роки тому +1

    quick question regarding the heater, wouldnt be more efficient to have the heating coil in the tank? another thing is you could use a cooker hotplate, so the other thing you could do is wrap 1 coil of the copper tube around the tank with some very small holes drilled into it to act as a gas burner so you could use some of the biogas to heat the tank.

    • @PyroEvil
      @PyroEvil  4 роки тому +1

      I did heater coil in the inside in my first design and get trouble with it. Getting too hot because isolated in the processing biomass and also become oxyded really fast. In my upgrade , I will put a topstove spiral heater instead of my homemade coil. Getting the biogas going back under the reactor is my goal ( hoping to just start it with electricity and be self subtained after with generated biogas/charcoal ).

    I am part of a project (called Circular Horizon) that aims to store CO2 using biochar. I particularly liked your video, but especially the part where you talk about the cupper coil. My question is this:
    How often should this coil be cleaned and how should it be done?
    Best wishes

      21 if I remember. But you have to calculate the voltage and the lenght of the wire for a giving temperature. Calculator on internet exist for that. Be carefull , because the wire is enclosed , it get more hotter and melt.

    • @PyroEvil

      Yes. I think it's the simpless way to involve solar power in that process. After that I can probably hook all the setup on a big parabolic mirror with sun tracker , but it's gone a be more complex.

    • @PyroEvil
      @PyroEvil  3 роки тому +1

      yes I know. Like I said , the electric coil is for testing only. Goal is to reuse gas back for heating and collect liquid fuel and woodchar. Easier and safr for storage

  • @erwinz5926
    @erwinz5926 2 роки тому

    the idea is good. without any measuremants but having an oven at home, id say: if the process started, the flame should be strong enought to keep the wood pyrolysis going on. nothing else happens in every fire, i guess, until the "easy gases have left". but the container might have to bee a little bigger for synergetic reasons.
    the idea with the parabolic mirror is generally very good and funny- enough, i also thought about it. but.
    I need to use that facility to harvest the heat AND charcoal. (harvesting the heat is absolutely essential, to heat a house in the winter.
    but in the winter, ther wont be enough sun for the process. nor for the heating.-
    so. i like the idea of heating a water heat storage tank with sun, but this also works in the summer only.
    the essence with the refill procedure: if the pyrolysis stops, the charchoal fire must be extinguished with water and
    moved away. thats not so trivial in a normal small house. I can build this for my house and garden maybe though.
    finally its an industrial process..
    its a lot of mess, you wont want every 3 days in your house and garden. such a machine must be efficient by all means and environmentally friendly (your reactor to catch climate gases is on the very right track, i think, but must proof in the big game, repeatedly with low mainanence.
    but. good project work.
