OOPS

oops! I sent my gasifier in the air today! It landed on the roof of the barn. Check out the photos! It just missed my face, as it flew past, while I was adjusting the valve. lol Even though the pipe is capped the gas was escaping from the other end. In fact I had a flare. The bottom of the unit is on the ground.

I am having good success with a pressure fed updraft style gasifier.
It is working better than the downdraft suction ones for me.
I beleive the pressure fed updraft will make a great boiler! Or possibly with a reduction column maybe I can get it clean enough for an engine!

Hello Wayne, I just viewed your pics, wild flame pics. Glad you survived the trip. I've done a few tin can gas stoves and a lot of reading/viewing to get the principles down in my head. I have an old large milk can that will be my first gasifier unit, possibly an imbert design, because of the shape of the inverted milk can. I'm looking at my "spare parts" pile in a whole new "light" now. I hope to have it ready to fire up in the spring and power an ICE. I'll post my progress and ask a question or two of those already with working units.

I've decided to make my downdraft fluidyne design pressurized instead of using the suction fan. Just have to figure out how to put in a glow plug and it should work good. Are you using your unit for heating or just still experimenting with it?

Looks like you weren't kidding about it being pressurized. What do you think happened?

just goes to show they only release the technology that benifits them-think the camera in your cell phone is for taking vacation pics--hell no its for rattin out your neighbor or incriminating yourself-just watch they will find a way to tax you for generating your own power--nothing free comes without a cost-if air could power your car and heat your home you would pay for every breath

ours is based on miliage--i heard allstate was giving breaks on insurance if you let them install an accellerameter in your vehicle in either mi or wisconson not sure which--pull it out review it and adjust insurance --george orwell 1984?

we all need to put our foot down and stop letting government push us around after all we all pay taxes so they work for us. the problem of how they get away with this crap is we let them . if they told us to go jump of cliffs should we? hell i wont even own a cell phone--they all contain gps chips--what we need to do is stop buying cars and trucks--just think one day if your late on your vehicle payment who"s to say they wont disable it?--is all this tech here to help and protect us or to keep tabs on us and control the mass"s??? hmmmmmmmmm
