👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Would love to see the improved version in the future :)
I would love to see another video on your improvements to your hydrogen generator and some in-depth plans so that I can attempt to make my own.
Next video will be about that.
I just discovered our 21st century Prometheus! Why don’t more people know about this guy???
Maybe if you had the "catch can" in a water bath, you could prevent the over preasure popping the pyrolization can.
Yes that's the idea! 👍
@@TheDIYScienceGuy not to mention the fact that would consense out tars, wood vinegar, and non combusting water and some methanol.
When all the water is out of the wood is when it will be able to get really hot.
Try running gases out the bottom and burn without orifice, cleaning, or drying them. No pressure, so no lid problems. It works for my 25-gallon setup, which has a 30 gallon drum around it to keep hot gases traveling up around the magazine. I do need to burn more wood under it toward the end, as it will not complete charcoaling on its own gases. I believe this shows that charcoaling is not exothermic as I had been told in the past.
Congratulations on the sub milestone, very much deserved...
Did you get the wood to fully carbonize? That would be really cool if it would work on all organic matter such as hemp, garden waste,human waste, etc,etc. Much thanks and CONGRADULATIONS on the 10K sub milestone. You really have some great videos, I'll go check those guys out.
No but I will do that eventually. Thanks!!! 👍
This is something I actually have some experience with. My Father had the Idea for producing BIOCHAR to add to some simple poor soil, we did take advantage if the gas made as byproduct yet but the next go around I have it in my mind and just need to put it to work. The chare once charged was Great for adding to that poor soil Totally would never Imagined there was any problem with quality of soil anymore. I love this types of ideas I don't know how much better it is to the environment but I understand no Mirical was needed for growth of tomato's!
I take that back Its Miracle Every Day You are able to Open your eyes And try to be a Good Neighbor to One Another,
Thank You
Now I want to build this. Nice. For larger units a pressure relief valve or some advanced regulation could be employed.
So do you think that a combination of wiring the lid of the paint can closed, and placing the condensing can into an ice bath would make this setup work? It's a bit more complex and less effective than the common small barrel inside larger barrel charcoal retorts, but it does a nice job of showing what's happening. I think a drain valve to let you remove the condensate periodically would help, too.
a good practical science channel should get much subscriber!
Biochar is very good but what is missing is that it should be made in the winter and used for heating.
Really cool project, I hope that you do an improved version soon :)
good
Excellent video! I was planning on doing something like this...no more need for “proof of concept”! Thanks!
However, and most likely I am missing some important detail but, if what you want is to self continue the efficient making of charcoal, then what is ideally desired is to get all of the energy of the pyrolysis by-products, i.e. no need for the “cleaning/cooling element” with the consequent condensed water (which later in the process becomes steam again, “chocking” the process)/tar trapping, but you can send all of it directly to be “burned” (the same loop that you did, except without the “cleaning/cooling/trap” device).
Am I missing some important “factor/detail”?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Thanks! Well I did what you described earlier and the problem is that unless you keep everything very hot, including the whole burner, there will occur condensation which stops the combustion.
👍🏻
Have you looked into the processes of ammonium?
Yes and I will definitely work on it in future! 👍
the nylon could have the edges done by a laser cutter (which is what i am using on my version)
Why not combine the two ideas and build a steam reformer. At high temperatures steam will react with coke or hydrocarbons to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The reaction is strongly endothermic and so requires continuous heat input and a catalyst. The carbon monoxide can also react further with additional water to yield more hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and a small amount of heat in a so-called water-gas shift reaction. Most commercially available hydrogen is made this way from natural gas but I've never seen anyone attempt it at home or on this sort of scale.
Nice idea thanks! 👍
Have you tried a gasometer? (such as this video 5hfznunVzKY ? )
No but I'm going to use my hydrogen compressor to store the excess gass, also to start the system up again later so I don't need to use propane anymore.
Trying to make perpetual machine or something?
No because perpetual mossion does not exist. 🤓 It's about a different way of burning wood and reducing carbon in the atmosphere.
hi ,great feedback system , thank you ... soon you will be separating that vapor from the woodgas . Are you planning to use Charcoal Electrodes in your hydrogen system? I do aim to use them and make them , instead of metal plates,. There are scientific articles saying they are very good for it , also Hofman apparatus at our school uses carbon electrodes . Oh and my student & I managed to replicate your small hydrogen cell demo .... we shall try building smal storage system by summer, and replicating your 2017 beauty . Will try to reach you soon.
How inefficient is charcoal !
Apart from its usefulness in producing iron, and smokeless cooking, it's inherently a very highly inefficient fuel, and I get really pissed at myopic 'do gooders' being paid by charities to teach the third world to "make charcoal efficiently".
Would you not be far better employed to focus on developing the most highly efficient (wood to useable heat) process possible? Traditional third world cooking methods usually measure between 5% and 15%, if lucky, with some 'modern' cooking stoves now being introduced at only 30%, so it shouldn't be too hard a task.
Hint: You need a fully insulated, fully air controlled, multi-stage combustion process with the then intense heat being 'harvested' only at the final point in the process, and then transferred to the cooking process as efficiently as possible using a fully insulated conduit.
Any combustion process that is not fully insulated is simply naive.
It's not about burning the charcoal it's about making charcoal and using the heat to heat water etc. I prefer putting the charcoal in the ground in the end.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy My God ... that's even more pointlessly inefficient and wasteful. What is the point?
@@sixmagpies You really weren't paying attention, were you?
