Bio char production

Hell D. Brown, Using CO2 can increase flower production upwards of 30-40 %, an enviable goal, somewhere around 550 ppm. CO and CO2 are called the silent killers and deserve the utmost respect as both…

trying to make a kilne for pottery

Hello Casey' I just ran into a site woodgas.com that has a diagram of an updraft/downdraft stove that was designed for a kiln. The stove is called a dasifier. It uses an air ejector. Looks like an in…

Wood gas stove #3, Big Burner 1

I've finished my big stove made from a 3# coffee can and a large fruit juice can. I've posted a slide show of unit and a vid of the first burn. More lessons on combustion! Incomplete combustion(low oxygen environment) is needed for gas production, however to burn those gases(CO and H) requires an oxygen rich environment which my chimney didn't provide due to lack of inlet holes. Sooting(free carbon) is shown on vid. It's very interesting to see the chemical equations playing out in front of your eyes!
I'm busy gathering "parts" for my first gasifier. Hope to run an ICE by spring
Will keep you updated.
Thanks for stopping by.

Brazing aluminum

Hello fellow gasifiers,
I just ran across an amazing vid for brazing aluminum. Braze aluminum cans and all sorts of aluminum alloy parts. Check it out at durafix.com.

This thing will bend a reducing cone or a cyclone with about a 1" bottom. P.S. leave about a 1/4" between bar and angle.

Hi Pepe
Thanks for unlocking.
Glad to see you have evolved from FEMA no zone control to Imbert air nozzle zone fixing.
On the backside (outside) of one nozzle if you weld a pipe nipple you can then screw on a opening drilled out pipe cap with a piece of sealed cut stove glass in it. This can be your window into the oxidization heart of the beast.
Removing this cap also will give you an excellent lighting up port right down at the charcoal level. Window was a Doug Williams (Fluidyne NZ) idea popularized by the Canadian Greg Manning. Hence "Manning Monocle".
If you can't see how hot you are processing, "Bright. Bright like the sun." (Doug Williams) you cannot control. Yes, yes; this can be done with expensive burn out prone instrumentation. But, hey! You appear to be a pilot. Isn't at least a little good visual a lot less teeth grinding than strictly all instruments?
Regards

Hello Shane, I told my son-in-law about my camping stove and vids on VGW. I asked my daughter if he had been to the site yet. Everyday and he's got a couple stoves already and psyched about running a car on wood gas. It's catchy, Shane. I read about the processes that take place in gasification and have seen some of them demonstrated as I watch and rewatch my vids. It's more in fascination of the simplicity of it than tooting my own,er, horn. I constantly watch for errors I may have made in my vids so as not to pass on misinformation.
I bet the little guy will love the stove, too, and I wish I would have learned this process sooner. I believe American's strength lies in independence not dependence.
I'm hoping to get a little welding done on my FEMA gasifier today. Will post what I have. I know some folks don't have a lot of tools so I try to post some alternate ways to go when feasible.
Good luck and have fun.

Thanks Pepe for the welcome, I am going to build the camp stove tonight. The big question is what am I going to do with all the peaches I just bought for their cans?
