Waste Mineral oil as a Fuel

I have gasified used motor oil with pellets. Works great! pellets last a very long time.

I dont remember their brand. It was a few years ago when I saw their display and spoke with them.

Gasification furnace for engine use

Ben, I will be trying this near the end of this summer. If it doesn't work I will use the boiler for co-generation. The boiler will heat up my second stage, where I will attempt to break down tires a…

What is your experience with gasification?

Lots of reading & some experimenting!

What are your goals with gasification?

tinkering, home power

4 02 10 run

Tonight ran small gasifier for 3 1/2 hours.....

I will build a gasification boiler to heat and power my home and greenhouse.

By incomporating a steam engine into my design I shouldn't need to clean or cool the gas before I use it. Gas quality isn't as important with a boiler.
It will be a cogeneration unit. I should be able to break down tires and other waste products in the second stage. The gas from the second stage should be able to be stored for future use.
I have a few designs for the units. I will experiment with all of them to find the best one.
Future plans also include plasma gasification.

Powering and heating a greenhouse will allow me to have an income off my property.

I kept a big old satellite around too for some solar tests, hopefully I'll have some time this summer to mess with it.

How's your gasification project going?

Thanks, Chris

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.
