Glad to be back on the site here

Today has been one of discovery. It is time to bring the joepipe technology into practical form. I've already drawn up some draft designs of high cfm hot air/water on demand system that would power your furnace and hot water tank. The system uses a JP model joepipe where the fire is spun around a water pipe.

This evening while out looking at the joepipe setup to see what steps could be taken to make a basic hot water heater. The inspiration came to pick… Continue

There is a simple way to remove the water from chips or wood pellets or even sawdust for fuel. The device would work best for a GEK setup and also be part of the hopper feed. The heat generated by the direct heat of the joe pipe and the exhaust, would assist to help dry the fuel dripping into the gasifier and also the wood in the hopper. Now how does this work?
The center pipe is the one that feeds in the wood. A second pipe around this central pipe is where part of the finished wood gas is used… Continue

Greetings-Good to be on board with you all!

My friend here Luc got me interested in wood gasification a few months back. Luc is doing the final tweaking on his GEK system. He is part of the wood gas forum.

Since the summer of 2005, I've discovered a new flame process that spins fire inside of a tube creating a type of endothermic reaction. Basically you charge up a tube with air and propane, light the mix, then gradually pull back on the controls until the flame 'pops' into the pipe. Si… Continue
