charcoal gasifier

Ғылым және технология

This micro charcoal gasifier is based on a design by gary gilmore. Search for his videos at youtube and at woodgas sites. It uses a cheap stock pot and readily available hardware to run a weedwacker engine on lump charcoal (not briquettes). Nothing but charcoal is used for fuel in this engine. Gasifiers can be used as an alternative carbon neutral fuel or for emergency power if used with a genset. Care must be taken using them as they do produce carbon monoxide a potentially lethal gas.
Here's a link to the entire start up procedure of a nearly identical gasifier • Gravely simple fire

    Great to the point video. Thank you. I also am a member of the Yahoo group and urge those interested in this technology to avail themselves of the information provided in both links.

    Very nice I want to build one, where do you find that metal pipe, and where do you get the blower

    Maybe the pipe the engine exhaust into first chamber to carry dirty producer gas into the bottom of the charcoal gasifier? Anyway, that seems like a way to gasify a wider range of material than just wood.

    seem you recycle part of exaust gas into charcoal reactor .. what is the function of outer filter? Thanks in advance

    HI, thanks for reply but from video I don't understand what is the primary energy source for run pirolisys process inside reactor.. you reactor is heated on bottom with external flame or is just exaust gas of engine that heat charcoal on bottom? Normally CO2 can't burn. An reply is appreciated.. Regards Marco

    Really interesting! Must be Gary's newest design, the Simple-fire, using exhaust from the weedwacker engine. How long will it run on the pot of charcoal? Are there any hot spots in the stock pot? Can you show us how you light it, and how much work it took to get things going? More details on what is in the filter canister? Thank you very much for posting this! (I have a Gilmore Reactor unit, and a Gilmore Filter unit, and bags and bags of charcoal. Details on Yahoo Charcoalgasifier group)

    I am in the middle of putting together a charcoal gasifier. I don't understand what that second black 'pot'-looking thing on the right is, attached to the motor inlet with the green hose. Can you explain? Thx.

    That’s a battery powered air mattress inflator I use to pull air through the reactor when lighting it. Once it’s glowing and producing gas then I can start the engine. Filter has layers of open cell foam and oil, be sure to have plenty gas cooling before the filter. Notice long flexible metal line. I’ve also built small coolers/radiators using copper plumbing fittings. Beware and disclaimer, I take no responsibility for other’s projects. This produces deadly carbon monoxide gas, that’s the fuel this glorified grill makes. There’s also an explosion hazard since CO is an explosive gas.

    @@Stirlingsound Thanks for taking the time to answer. That all makes sense. I might throw a small radiator in front of the filter in addition to the length of the line.

    no oil needed for that weedeater? usually 2 cycles need oil mixed with their fuel. or does the PAH emissions keep it lubricated?

    That sounds like a 2 cycle engine. How do you introduce oil into the cylinder to keep it lubed up? Nice neat job!

    🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️ 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    Could you just use wood in this gasifier?? Or does it specifically need to be charcoal?? I would really appreciate it!!

    you could, but it will produce more water and more tar making it not-so-great for engines without good filtration though probably more btu's

    You could but to make the gas safe for an engine you need a larger and more complex design. Making charcoal is also pretty easy.

    If you had a second pot full of waste--plastics, grass clippings, cardboard/paper, over a flame, and piped that dirty gas into the bottom of your charcoal gasifier, wouldn't the hot charcoal clean up the dirty producer gas as well?
