I've built the FEMA, down draft, up draft, and Imbert. Ran a '79 f-100 on woodgas. It works. Has the same power as propane if sized right and built tight. Ive also built the Wayne Kieth and Ben Peterson gasifiers.
At some point later I'll probably get into the Imbert and fancier stuff. For now, I just want to build a full size model that makes sense. I'm still learning for sure.
@@TheDrivewayEngineer If you need help with anything woodgas or charcoal gas let me know. I also have Ben's and Wayne's books on how to build their models. Wayne Keith is the easiest with scrap you'll have laying around. Ben Peterson's gasifier takes the engineered approach. I'll send you copies of both books if your interested. It'll be my gift for you to continue into this fun hobby.
I missed your comments, I hate when UA-cam does that, I rarely see replies. I have both books though, thank you for the offer! One of the things I'd like to build in my new shop, is gasifiers
Juice barrels are a thinner gauge metal. You need one that's had petroleum products in it. If you have a mining company around you or a company that maintains heavy equipment they will have different sized barrels.
Pretty cool build. I'm not really into any kind of prepping, since there are very few SHTF scenarios I really want to survive, but I do like seeing builds like this. Any chance we'll ever see a bug out vehicle build or anything of that nature?
some of the best gassifiers will produce tar, its how you get rid of the tars. never letting the tar pass through the char bed, disposing of it before it reaches the char bed like my wayne keith build that powers my truck. can also if the char bed stays at high enough temperatures thermally crack the tar into a high quality of fuel for better gas, this is the design flaw in the fema is the fire never seems to get hot enough to crack tars. i didnt even bother with a grate shaker on my build, and i have only had the char bed get tight one time running on pine fuel. usually running on doug fir or cherry and no need to shake the grate at all
Hey man! I'm kinda picking up that your style is more function than form but do you think you could do a video on how to clean up an engine bay? Like tucking wires or just simplifying the crazy wires in an old school engine bay?

@@kyledimario2696 Everyone should know and understand this simple technology, I'm still learning myself, but I tip my hat to you sir.

@@kyledimario2696 do these books talk about dimensions for powering a generator to get a constant output of let's say 2 to 2.5kw/h?
Gotta say, it fun watching someone at almost the exact point I’m at! 😂 I have maybe 80% of the parts I need, and am figuring out how to assemble.
I knew it, JR is preparing for his world domination.

I already own my bug out vehicle, but you will see it in some later episode for sure

Right on
And the part 2?

Pretty unlikely, makes for extremely boring content.
15-20 hours, there's no trick, it's just labor.
@@TheDrivewayEngineer I can see that being pretty boring now that you mention it.... thanks for the reply tho!
Cool!!
Where is the rest of the build
Haven't finished it yet
